In order to increase the interfacial interaction of the BF based composites, ZnO nanorods were in-situ grown on the BF by hydrothermal method. Polymer composites based on polypropylene (PP) and modified BF were prepared by melt blending and micro injection molding. The structure and properties of the composites were investigated in detail and a three-dimensional representative volume element (RVE) model was applied to verify the effect of ZnO nanorods on the interfacial failure behavior of the composites. The results showed that the growth of ZnO nanorods increased the transverse strain of interfacial debonding and altered the damage pattern of the composites. Specifically, the rod-like ZnO enhanced the surface roughness and specific surface area of BF, produced higher shear force during micro injection molding process, caused more physical interlock and entanglement in the composites. As the result, the interface thickness, crystallinity and crystal orientation were increased. Consequently, the mechanical strength of the composites improved.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science","volume":"59 48","pages":"22073 - 22090"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142811143","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}

CO₂ sensors are majorly based on solid-state materials, but they require high operating temperatures. Recently, two-dimensional materials have been explored to achieve room-temperature CO₂ detection. Among them, graphene and MXene gained attraction owing to their outstanding chemical and electronic properties. Sensing materials’ properties such as surface and electrical properties are very crucial to achieve highly sensitive gas sensors. In this work, we comprehensively investigate and compare the impact of surface-electrical properties of graphene and MXene on their CO₂ sensors’ performance. Initially, we synthesize and characterize the surface-electrical properties of functionalized graphene (FG) and Ti₃C₂T_x MXene. Later, chemiresistive CO₂ gas sensors are fabricated with these materials as sensing layers and their performance is examined. From material characterizations, we find that MXene surface is more hydrophilic, showing 1.5-fold higher interfacial energy, and has ~ 1.2-fold higher electrical conductivity than FG, whereas FG demonstrates lower surface roughness and outstanding stability over the period. The sensing behavior of both sensors is found to be repeatable, selective, and reproducible. The CO₂ sensor with the MXene layer reveals a lower response/recovery time (12/17 s) than that of FG (32/43 s). Also, MXene-based sensor exhibits a 25% response, revealing a 6% higher gas response than FG-based sensor. However, from the stability point of view, FG sensor outperforms the MXene sensors. We believe this study is extremely beneficial in realizing highly efficient gas sensors for air quality and health monitoring.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science","volume":"59 48","pages":"22132 - 22148"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142811072","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}

AlSi-polymer composite abradable coatings are commonly employed for such applications to serve as sacrificial materials while maintaining the pressure within compressors and seals. However, these coatings can face premature failure during operation, particularly due to corrosion and erosion. More specifically, due to the ductile behavior of AlSi-polymer-based abradables, the erosion rates at low impingement angles are particularly high. Thus, there is a strong desire to develop an abradable system capable of maintaining high erosion resistance at various impingement angles while maintaining suitable abradability (i.e., high wear of the abradable during interaction with the blade tip). The main purpose of this study is to critically evaluate the influence of Ni in AlSi-polymer-based abradable coatings on their erosion and tribological performance. The AlSi-polymer powders were mechanically mixed to develop the powders that were subsequently deposited using atmospheric plasma spray (APS). Microstructure analysis using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and HR15Y hardness tests was employed to assess the microstructural and mechanical properties of the coating. Ball-on-flat, ball-on-disk, and air jet erosion tests were performed, followed by ex situ surface analysis to elucidate the wear mechanism. The results revealed that the incorporation of Ni preserved the lamellar microstructure characteristic of AlSi and polyester abradable coatings, while concurrently decreasing average wear rates at lower impingement angles, as observed throughout the erosion tests.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science","volume":"59 48","pages":"22266 - 22282"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142811070","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}

With this objective, pure hydroxyapatite (HAp) was prepared in this work as a ceramic matrix doped with 1, 3 and 5% magnesium by a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method (MAH) aimed at photocatalytic application under sunlight irradiation. XRD and FTIR analyses showed that only HAp was obtained from all the samples, and Rietveld refinement indicated a reduced crystallite size and increased microstrain after Mg doping. Nanorod-like morphologies were observed after analysis by SEM-FEG, with a decrease in the length and width of the particles after inserting the dopant. The UV‒Vis results revealed that the HAp bandgap decreased to 3.75 eV after doping. The photoluminescence spectra showed that oxygen vacancies were generated in the presence of Mg, which also caused an increase in the specific surface area of HAp. Photocatalytic tests were conducted with mixtures of methylene blue, crystal violet and malachite green dyes. After 120 min of sunlight irradiation, the sample with 3% Mg obtained the best results, achieving up to 94% degradation of the dyes. Furthermore, reusability tests showed that there was a small reduction in photocatalytic efficiency after five cycles, without structural changes in the photocatalyst. Inhibition tests showed that superoxides and holes are the active radicals, and tests with inorganic anions revealed that carbonates, nitrates and sulphates promote degradation, while phosphates reduce photocatalytic performance.
