Polyaniline/iron nanocomposites prepared by cryomilling

The polyaniline/iron nanocomposites with both conducting and magnetic properties have been prepared by cryomilling (high‐energy ball milling under cryogenic temperature), in which the average size of iron grains attains 20 nm. Enhanced coercivity of 206 Oe and decreased conductivity of 0.1 S cm^?1 at room temperature have been obtained for the nanocomposites containing 10% volume fraction of iron in polyaniline after cryomilling for 20 h. The high value of the coercivity could be considered due to the presence of a fraction of single‐domain particles in the nanocomposites. The low value of the conductivity could be considered due to the dedoping of conducting polyaniline with the cryomilling time. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thermal behaviors of poly(ethylene terephthalate)/SiO2 nanocomposites prepared by cryomilling

The thermal behaviors of poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/SiO₂ nanocomposites prepared by cryomilling were studied, by comparing with the cryomilled PET and the raw PET. Cryomilling induced amorphization of crystalline PET matrix and the decrease of PET molecular weight. Cryomilled PET/SiO₂ nanocomposites have two abnormal phenomena in the DSC 1st heating thermogram due to the stored energy induced by cryomilling. During DSC cooling process, the dispersed nanometer SiO₂ particles play a role of nucleating agent in PET matrix, and the hot crystallization ability of PET/SiO₂ nanocomposites improves a lot. Besides, the heat stability of cryomilled PET/SiO₂ nanocomposites improves more much during reheating. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 44: 1351–1356, 2006     

放电等离子烧结制备Al-Zn-Mg-Cu纳米晶合金的组织

利用低温液氮球磨和放电等离子烧结工艺制备了块体纳米晶Al-Zn-Mg-Cu合金.采用X射线衍射(XRD)技术分析了材料的晶粒尺寸和微观应变,利用透射电镜(TEM)研究了合金微观组织的演变.结果表明:采用放电等离子烧结法制备的7000系纳米铝合金具有两种不同的纳米晶结构,以晶粒尺寸50～100nm的等轴晶为主,少量200～400nm的大晶粒为辅;烧结过程中发生再结晶及第二相析出,析出的第二相以η(MgZn2)为主,θ(Al2Cu)以及S(Al2CuMg))为辐.
