Additionally, the microstructures within the welding zones and adjacent to the welding interfaces were characterized and analyzed. The results demonstrated that the extent of DRX and the degree of grain refinement increased as welding temperature and time increased. At low welding temperatures and brief times, the predominant recrystallization mode was continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX). CDRX grains attain interface closure by growing and engulfing the micro-voids present between the two matrixes. As the temperature and time increased, discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) emerged as the dominant mechanism, during which the grain boundaries near the weld initially bulged and then subsequently migrated, gradually resulting in the disappearance of the weld. In addition, as the welding temperature increased, the texture components transitioned from shear components to recrystallized ones, the texture intensity subsequently diminished, and the variety of texture components expanded.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science","volume":"60 9","pages":"4482 - 4501"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143527684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we developed thin poly(vinyl alcohol)/poly(acrylic acid) (PVA/PAA) GPEs by electrospinning and solvent casting, and their performances were compared to analyze the textural characteristics of the synthesized GPEs. For this purpose, the use of chemical crosslinkers has been avoided because of their harmful impact on the environment. Instead, three crosslinking temperatures were evaluated: 120, 140, and 160 °C, maintaining a similar thickness for all membranes (90 ± 7 μm). The highest KOH uptake was obtained with the cast GPEs, and at 120 °C, the KOH uptake was 555% versus 477% for the electrospun (ES) GPE. Nonetheless, the ionic conductivity and ion-exchange capacities increased with increasing crosslinking temperature, and the values displayed by the electrospun GPEs were higher than those for the cast materials (PVA/PAA ES 160 °C = 105.4 mS cm⁻¹, 2.4 mmol g⁻¹). Additionally, the ES GPEs were more stable, displaying no shifts in FT-IR signals after 12 months of immersion in deionized water (cast GPEs deteriorated after 5 months). The battery performance increased with increasing crosslinking temperature, achieving higher activity with GPEs at 160 °C. The battery voltage was slightly higher for the cast GPE (1.42 vs. 1.39 V), but the power density was higher for the RZAB operated with the ES GPE (148 vs. 115 mW cm⁻²), which was related to the enhanced mass transport.

Waste wood flour was employed as the filler material, while PVC served as the matrix. Tetrahydrofuran (THF) acted as the solvent, supplemented by the coupling agent γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (KH570) and antioxidant 1076 to enhance interfacial compatibility and material performance.

The results revealed that the optimal material composition was achieved with a pinewood flour:THF:PVC ratio of 4:6:4 (mass:volume:mass). This composition delivered a bending strength of 14.8 MPa and a tensile strength of 7.65 MPa.
