Hence, the high-level objective of this study is to regulate the interface between the substrate and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) lubricant in GH4169 nickel-based high-temperature self-lubricating composites to improve the interfacial bonding strength and the overall performance. Electroless plating method was adopted to coat nickel on h-BN, and the dense high-temperature self-lubricating composites were fabricated through hot-pressing sintering. The effects of nickel coating on h-BN on the microstructure, mechanical properties and high-temperature tribological behaviors of composites were analyzed in detail, and the lubrication mechanism was also elucidated. The results illustrate the Ni@h-BN/GH4169 composites with addition of chemically modified lubricant particles have excellent mechanical properties and lubrication and wear reduction properties, compared to h-BN/GH4169 composites. This is mainly due to the introduction of nickel coating contributed to the distribution uniformity of h-BN in the matrix, and the wettability between h-BN and the substrate together with interfacial bonding strength were enhanced as well. This work provides an insight to overcome the challenges facing the technology when using GH4169 nickel-based self-lubricating composites in manufacturing of mechanical components in aerospace.","PeriodicalId":10653,"journal":{"name":"Composite Interfaces","volume":"4 1","pages":"1099 - 1117"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86404031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effect of the addition of nanowires on the mechanical strength and wear resistance of carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy resin composites was investigated. The results indicated that the tensile strength and bending strength of SiCnws / C f / epoxy resin composites increased by 13.8% and 16.2% on the condition that the concentration of Ni(NO3)2 catalyst was 0.1 mol/L, respectively. The improvement of the mechanical properties could be attributed to the mechanical interlocking affection between carbon fiber and SiC nanowires. In addition, due to SiC nanowires with a three-dimensional network structure on the surface of carbon fiber, the stronger adhesive force between epoxy matrix SiC nanowires protected the resin matrix and carbon fiber from abrasion. The wear rate of SiCnws / C f / epoxy composites was reduced by 98.1%.

Emulsified Ni@EC paste consists largely of hydrophobic phases, water phases, and PVB surfactants. The components that make up the hydrophobic phase were Ni nanoparticles, EC binders, and organic solvents. Within the emulsified paste (Ni@EC/water), the hydrophobic phase formed the structure of droplets surrounded by surrounding water, resulting in only the water phase being exposed to the outside. During the coating process, the water phase in Ni@EC/water emulsion paste came into contact with the as-prepared BT@PVB sheet, and the hydrophobic phase could not affect the sheet due to the blocking effect of the surrounding water phase. Afterwards, organic solvents as well as water were co-evaporated through the drying process, and most of the organic solvents were removed and solidified before molecular diffusion into BT@PVB sheet occurred.

The addition of PVA fibers mainly improves the cracking performance and durability of concrete. However, most of the studies addressing this issue have been limited to phenomenology, ignoring the mechanism of action at the atomic structure level. Therefore, this study investigates the strengthening mechanism of the interfacial properties of KH-560 coupling agent-reinforced PVA fiber-rubber concrete from the multi-scale analysis of macro-mechanical properties, micro and fine structure, chemical composition and nano-optical level. Based on the results of macro-mechanical tests, it was found that the KH-560 coupling agent could improve the compressive, flexural and shear strength of PVA-rubber concrete, so that the damage morphology also changed from brittle damage to plastic damage, and the compressive strength of concrete was slightly reduced due to the addition of PVA, but the durability and cracking resistance were enhanced. XRD (X-ray diffraction), FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) and SEM (scanning electron microscopy) tests observed the presence of some gels and polymers that filled the interfacial slits and effectively repaired the interfacial defects. The two-phase interface was simulated by molecular dynamics at the nano level, and it was found that KH560 molecules could be closely connected with C-S-H gel collectively through Si-O-Si chemical bonding, and KH560 molecular bonds were unevenly distributed between the C-S-H and rubber interfaces, while the addition of modifier KH560 and PVA fibers caused more hydrogen and ionic bonds at the interface, which enhanced the interfacial interaction energy. Systematic experiments were conducted on PVA fiber-rubber soil materials before and after SCA modification under macroscopic, microscopic, fine and nano-level multi-scale analyses, which ultimately lead to the design and performance improvement of SCA modification of PVA-rubber cement-based materials in a multi-scale framework.

Under an atomic force microscope (AFM), the carbon fiber surface exhibits multi-scale asperities extending from a nanometer to several microns, likely caused by shrinkage during the graphitization process. Therefore, a Fourier series decomposition of the surface asperity data is performed to model these asperities present at various wavelengths on the fiber resulting in an amplitude and wavelength corresponding to each Fourier series term, effectively capturing the surface roughness over the entire spectrum of wavelengths. Furthermore, Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to determine the interfacial shear strength of any subcomponent asperity of a specific amplitude and wavelength. Using MD data, governing equations were developed to compute the length-scale-averaged shear strength for a carbon fiber with any given surface asperities from the interfacial shear force for each of these subcomponent wavelengths. The results show that the presence of CNTs enhanced the IFSS by about 19% overall for a given surface asperity profile compared with the case without CNTs.

For this purpose, micro tensile tests are performed by an accurate tensile test device and high-quality camera imaging for data sampling. The obtained displacements are analysed by the image processing method and used as target values in the peridynamic analyses. Multiscale mass points from macro to micro scale are generated to model the interphase region in single fiber specimens using the state-based peridynamic method. With the coupling of peridynamic and multivariate optimization codes, the program is automatically executed by the prediction of thickness and elastic modulus of interphase to achieve the desired displacements similar to micro tensile test results. In this innovative method, unlike nanoindentation tests, where the results are limited to a specific section or point, the interphase characterization gives an overall elastic modulus value along the examined length of the sample. The obtained results from the presented procedure show that the interphase elastic modulus is between 20.8 and 28.86 GPa and the interphase thickness is between 1.149 and 1.986 microns. The obtained results are in the range of nanoindentation tests results presented in the literature, and the difference could be due to the manufacturing conditions, epoxy properties, and quality of the fiber silane coatings.
