Synthesis and properties of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)/chitin nanocrystals composite scaffolds for tissue engineering

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV)/chitin nanocrystals (CNC) composite scaffolds were synthesized by the salt leaching and thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) technique. The scaffolds have porous structures with macro-pores (100-300 mm in diameters) and micro-pores (10 mm). The surface characteristics of the scaffolds were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and static water contact angle measurement, and the mechanical properties were investigated by a compression test. Human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) were seeded onto the PHBV/CNC scaffolds and in vitro cell culture results showed that the composite scaffolds enhanced the hADSCs adhesion, which implies that the material may have potential application in tissue engineering.     

A refined numerical model for determining inflation-burst behavior of composite membrane structures

The airship structures made of multi-layer composite fabrics or membranes can offer the platform for earth observations, wireless communications and space research due to light weight and good mechanical performance. The structural safety and serviceability strongly depend on material properties and working conditions. Available studies are limited within service stress limits or are lack of suitable biaxial tensile constitutive models for understanding structural behavior. This paper thus focuses on a refined numerical model for determining inflation-burst behavior of composite airship structures considering new biaxial constitutive equations, novel failure criteria and manufacture factors.The differences between ideal and real forms of airship structures, e.g. volume difference, demonstrate the necessity for incorporating cutting-pattern effects in the initial numerical model. For structural analysis, stress distributions on real structural forms are different from those on ideal forms because of welding parts that can enhance local stiffness. The ultimate pressures are 56.7 kPa and 59.5 kPa for ideal and real structural forms. Structural breaking initiated at the maximum diameter of ideal structural forms propagates fast while welding parts can prevent breaking propagation for real structural forms. Therefore, the refined numerical model can reveal basic structural behavior and safety performance of airship structures in the inflation-burst processes.     

Thermal properties enhancement of epoxy resins by incorporating polybenzimidazole nanofibers filled with graphene and carbon nanotubes as reinforcing material

Enhancement of thermal properties of epoxy resins was achieved by incorporation of polybenzimidazole (PBI) fibermats filled with carbon nanomaterials, prepared by the solution electrospinning technique. Different type of carbon nanostructures (carbon nanotubes, graphite flakes, graphene nanoplatelets and carbon black) were compared as fillers in polybenzimidazole fibers. The carbon-PBI-fibermats showed remarkable thermal transport properties and therefore, they were studied as thermal reinforcement material for epoxy composites. Mechanical and thermal properties of produced composites were evaluated and the effectiveness of different types of carbon fillers examined. Results showed that the produced carbon filled fibermats can be used effectively as a thermal reinforcing material in epoxy resins, offering several advantages.     

Performance of high-temperature thermosetting polyimide composites modified with thermoplastic polyimide

The preparation of polyimide (PI) resin with high heat resistance and toughness is a significant challenge. In this study, thermoplastic PI (TPI) was used to toughen thermosetting PIs, and toughened PI (TPI/PI) blends were prepared. The modified PI resin system exhibited good thermal stability, excellent heat resistance, and high toughness. The results indicated that the TPI/PI blends maintained the curing behavior and characteristics of the PI oligomer. The T_g of the cured TPI/PI blend exceeded 395 °C, and the T_5% values were in the range of 533–563 °C, suggesting excellent thermal stability and heat resistance. The maximum impact strength was increased by 46% compared with that of pure PI, indicating the excellent toughening effect of the TPI. Carbon fiber-reinforced PI composites were prepared using the toughening system as a matrix. The compression-after-impact values of the carbon fiber-reinforced PI composites were up to 190 MPa, indicating the excellent toughness of the materials.
