However, these phase change aerogels suffer from inadequate mechanical properties, making them susceptible to breakage and deformation under external forces. To address this challenge, this study explores the effects of varying waterborne polyurethane (WPU) concentrations on the mechanical and thermal properties of polyethylene glycol (PEG)/cellulose nanofibril (CNF)/WPU phase change foams, successfully fabricating a series of PEG/CNF/WPU phase change foams. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), mechanical testing, and leakage rate tests were employed to systematically evaluate the morphology, crystalline structure, chemical composition, mechanical properties, and thermal characteristics of these foams with different WPU additions. The results revealed that the PEG/CNF/WPU phase change foam containing 9 g WPU achieved a phase change enthalpy of 134.81 J·g⁻¹, accompanied by outstanding compressive strength, compressive yield stress, and compressive modulus. Notably, the leakage rate after a 30-day leakage test was only 8.09%.</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":"60 8","pages":"3912 - 3925"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143471871","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}

The mechanical properties of the backfill materials were thoroughly investigated through uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), three-point bending, and splitting tests. The energy evolution of the fillers was analyzed, and digital speckle technology was utilized to precisely assess the damage evolution and failure mechanism of the samples under load. Furthermore, combined with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM–EDS), the strength formation mechanism was studied. The results indicate that: (1) With the increase of GTR content, the mechanical properties of the backfill materials initially increase and then decrease, with LSFC + G10 and LSFCP + G15 combinations exhibiting the best performance. (2) After the addition of GTR, the total energy and elastic strain energy accumulation of the material increase, correlating positively with UCS.

As the displacement difference increases, the specimens show significant deformation characteristics.

These properties make GNS a promising candidate for various nanoelectronic applications, including gas sensing devices. Despite its potential, GNS has been relatively underexplored in the context of gas sensing applications. In this study, we present a series of analytical models to characterize the behavior of zigzag graphene nanoscrolls (ZGNS)-based gas sensors in the presence of NH₃ gas. The tight-binding technique, employing nearest neighbor approximation, is utilized to formulate the energy dispersion relation of GNS, incorporating the influence of gas molecule adsorption through parameters such as the hopping integral between GNS and gas and the on-site energy of adsorbed gas molecules. Furthermore, the derived energy equation is employed to establish the conductance relation and explore the impact of gas adsorption on the electrical conductance of GNS. Subsequently, the I-V characteristics of the GNS sensor are formulated, and the variations in current due to NH₃ gas exposure are analyzed. The gate voltage is modeled as a function of NH₃ concentration, and a sensing parameter is proposed based on current variations across different concentrations. Validation of the model is performed by comparing the obtained results with data extracted from previous studies. The findings demonstrate good agreement, underscoring the effectiveness of the proposed ZGNS-based sensor model for NH₃ detection under varying environmental conditions.</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":"60 8","pages":"3850 - 3862"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10853-025-10636-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143471864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
