The heterogeneous lamellar structure, the grain boundary distribution characteristics, and the effect of Y on stacking fault energy enhanced the hetero-deformation induced working hardening, thereby improving both the strength and ductility of the CuCrZrY alloy.

We develop a new <em>K</em><sub>IC</sub> formula with a generalized form by incorporating the atomistic reaction pathway analysis into Transition State Theory (TST), which captures the <em>K</em><sub>IC</sub> of the first dislocation nucleation event at crack tips and its sensitivity to temperature and loading rates. We use this formula and atomistic modeling information to specifically calculate the <em>K</em><sub>IC</sub> for quasi-two-dimensional crack tips located at various slant twin boundaries in nano-twinned TiAl alloys across a wide range of temperatures and strain rates. Our findings reveal that twinning dislocation nucleation at the crack tip dominates crack propagation when twin boundaries (TBs) are tilted at 15.79° and 29.5°. Conversely, when TBs tilt at 45.29°, 54.74°, and 70.53°, dislocation slip becomes the preferred mode. Additionally, at TB tilts of 29.5° and 70.53°, at higher temperatures above 800 K and typical experimental loading rates, both dislocation nucleation modes can be activated with nearly equal probability. This observation is particularly significant as it highlights scenarios that molecular dynamics simulations, due to their time scale limitations, cannot adequately explore. This insight underscores the importance of analyzing temperature and loading rate dependencies of the <em>K</em><sub>IC</sub> to fully understand the competing mechanisms of dislocation nucleation and their impact on material behavior.","PeriodicalId":16154,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science & Technology","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142519508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a significant challenge arises as their conductivity sharply decreases when stretched due to disruptions in electronic transport. Coating fibers with soft liquid metal (LM) has emerged as a promising solution. Despite this, there remains an urgent need to develop methods that enhance LM adhesion to substrates while facilitating efficient electron transport pathways. This study demonstrates a novel Ag-LM conductive network strategy for fabricating a thermoplastic polyurethane/polydopamine/silver-LM (TPU/PDA/Ag-LM) fiber membrane. This membrane exhibits outstanding stretchable electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance and is produced through straightforward electrospinning, electroless depositing, and LM coating and activation. The TPU/PDA/Ag fiber membrane is initially prepared via polydopamine-assisted deposition of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on electrospun TPU fibers. The presence of AgNPs on the surface of TPU/PDA fibers enhances LM adhesion to the substrate and bridges adjacent LM to establish efficient conductive paths. This interaction benefits from the reactive alloying between AgNPs and LM, where the LM infiltrates the gaps among AgNPs, forming a distinctive LM-Ag alloy layer that uniformly coats the surface of TPU fibers. As anticipated, the unique three-dimensional (3D) interconnected LM-Ag conductive network remains intact during stretching, ensuring strain-invariant conductivity. The fabricated TPU/PDA/Ag-LM fiber membrane demonstrates exceptional EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) of 77.4 dB within the frequency range of 8.2–12.8 GHz and maintains an excellent EMI SE of 37.2 dB under extensive tensile deformation of 300%.
