A theory of plasticity for carbon nanotube reinforced composites

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) possess exceptional mechanical properties, and when introduced into a metal matrix, it could significantly improve the elastic stiffness and plastic strength of the nanocomposite. But current processing techniques often lead to an agglomerated state for the CNTs, and the pristine CNT surface may not be able to fully transfer the load at the interface. These two conditions could have a significant impact on its strengthening capability. In this article we develop a two-scale micromechanical model to analyze the effect of CNT agglomeration and interface condition on the plastic strength of CNT/metal composites. The large scale involves the CNT-free matrix and the clustered CNT/matrix inclusions, and the small scale addresses the property of these clustered inclusions, each containing the randomly oriented, transversely isotropic CNTs and the matrix. In this development the concept of secant moduli and a field fluctuation technique have been adopted. The outcome is an explicit set of formulae that allows one to calculate the overall stress-strain relations of the CNT nanocomposite. It is shown that CNTs are indeed a very effective strengthening agent, but CNT agglomeration and imperfect interface condition can seriously reduce the effective stiffness and elastoplastic strength. The developed theory has also been applied to examine the size (diameter) effect of CNTs on the elastic and elastoplastic response of the composites, and it was found that, with a perfect interface contact, decreasing the CNT radius would enhance the overall stiffness and plastic strength, but with an imperfect interface the size effect is reversed. A comparison of the theory with some experiments on the CNT/Cu nanocomposite serves to verify the applicability of the theory, and it also points to the urgent need of eliminating all CNT agglomeration and improving the interface condition if the full potential of CNT reinforcement is to be realized.

Crystallographic report: Crystal structure of a two‐dimensional coordination polymer: tetraaqua‐1,2,4,5‐benzenetetracarboxylato(pyrazine)dizinc(II) dihydrate

The structure of {[Zn₂(1,2,4,5‐btc)(pz)(H₂O)₄]·2(H₂O)}_n (1,2,4,5‐btc = 1, 2, 4, 5‐benzenetetracarboxylate, pz = pyrazine) is a two‐dimensional coordination network. The zinc(II) center is in a distorted octahedral NO₅ coordination environment that is defined by one nitrogen atom of pyrazine, three oxygen atoms of carboxyl groups from 1,2,4,5‐benzenetetracarboxylate tetraanions and two water molecules.

Data Collection on and Refinement of Twinned, Non-merohedrally-twinned Methyl 2-Aminopyrazine-3-carboxylate:RLATT for Indexing, and TwinRotMat for De-twinning

The procedure for collecting diffraction data at –173 °C on a twinned specimen of methyl 2-aminopyrazine-3-carboxylate by using the APEX-II software followed by de-twinning the non-merohedrally-twinned reflection data with PLATON is described. De-twinning significantly lowers the R index from 0.141 to 0.038 owing to 49% twinning.

Determination of the recoilless-fraction for57Fe in Fe3O4 by the Mössbauer Faraday effect

We have observed the Mössbauer Faraday effect in nonstoichiometric Fe₃O₄ by using a Mössbauer polarimeter. Experimental results demonstrated that electronic hopping above the Verwey temperature between Fe²⁺?Fe³⁺ ions on the octahedral sites is a localized phenomenon only and the recoilless fractions of⁵⁷Fe nuclei in Fe_3?vO₄ (v=0.02) are 0.71 for A sites and 0.62 for B sites, respectively.

Investigation of the local structure variance of water molecules in laser-induced thermal desorption process

This paper presents the use of molecular dynamics simulation in the study of laser-induced thermal desorption (LITD) of water molecules adjacent to a laser-heated Au substrate. The local structure of the water molecules is investigated by considering the densities of the oxygen and hydrogen atoms, the average number of neighbors, n_NN, and the average number of H-bonds, n_HB. At an equilibrium temperature of 300 K, the simulation results show that three adsorption water layers are formed in the immediate vicinity of the Au surface, and that each four-fold hollow site on the uppermost Au(0 0 1) surface is occupied by a single water molecule. Following laser-induced heating of the Au substrate with a sub-picosecond laser pulse of 350 fs, the substrate temperature increases to 1000 K. This causes a gradual heating of the adjacent water film, which is accompanied by a decrease in the values of n_NN and n_HB. Hence, it can be concluded that an increase in the water film temperature destroys the hydrogen-bonding network throughout the water film. Although the maximum local temperature of the water film occurs in the region immediately adjacent to the Au substrate, it is determined that the attractive energy between the Au atoms and the water molecules in this region causes the water molecules to aggregate together to form three-dimensional water clusters. Furthermore, this energy prevents the hydrogen bonds in this region from breaking apart as violently as those within the phase explosion region. Finally, it is observed that the phase explosion phenomenon occurs in the region of the water film where the values of n_NN and n_HB are at a minimum.
