Mechanical and Thermal Behavior of Fibrous Carbon Materials.

ABSTRACT: The ability of various commercial fibrous carbon materials to withstand stress and conduct heat has been evaluated through experimental and analytical studies. The combined effects of different micro/macro-structural characteristics were discussed and compared. Large differences in mechanical behavior were observed between the different groups or subgroups of fibrous materials, due to the different types of fibers and the mechanical and/or chemical bonds between them. The application of the Mooney-Rivlin model made it possible to determine the elastic modulus of soft felts, with a few exceptions, which were studied in-depth. The possible use of two different mechanical test methods allowed a comparison of the results in terms of elastic modulus obtained under different deformation regimes. The effective thermal conductivity of the same fibrous materials was also studied and found to be much lower than that of a single carbon fiber due to the high porosity, and varied with the bulk density and the fiber organization involving more or less thermal contact resistances. The thermal conductivity of most materials is highly anisotropic, with higher values in the direction of preferential fiber orientation. Finally, the combination of compression and transient thermal conductivity measurement techniques allowed the heat conduction properties of the commercial fibrous carbons to be investigated experimentally when compressed. It was observed that thermal conductivity is strongly affected under compression, especially perpendicular to the main fiber orientation.

Mechanical Recycling of Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate/Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposites: Processing, Thermal, Rheological, Mechanical and Electrical Behavior

Project description:Recycling polymer/carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposites is not well common, despite a growing interest in using polymer/carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposites in industrial applications. In this study, the influence of mechanical recycling on the thermal, rheological, mechanical and electrical behavior of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA)/CNT nanocomposites is investigated. EVA/CNT nanocomposite with different amounts of CNTs (1, 3 and 5 wt.%) was subjected to mechanical grinding and reprocessing by injection molding in a close-loop up to three cycles, and the changes induced by mechanical recycling were monitored by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), capillary rheology, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electrical resistance and tensile tests. It was found that the EVA/CNT nanocomposites did not exhibit significant changes in thermal and flow behavior due to mechanical recycling and reprocessing. The recycled EVA/CNT nanocomposites retain close to 75% of the original elastic modulus after three recycling cycles and about 80–90% in the tensile strength, depending on the CNT loading. The electrical conductivity of the recycled nanocomposites was about one order of magnitude lower as compared with the virgin nanocomposites, spanning the insulating to semi-conducting range (10−9 S/m–10−2 S/m) depending on the CNT loading. With proper control of the injection molding temperature and CNT loading, a balance between the mechanical and electrical properties of the recycled EVA nanocomposites can be reached, showing a potential to be used in practical applications.

Hybrid carbon thermal interface materials for thermoelectric generator devices.

Project description:Thermal interface materials (TIMs) are extensively used in electronic devices as efficient heat transfer materials. We fabricated all-carbon TIMs by hybridizing single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with graphite and demonstrated their performance by applying them to a thermoelectric generator (TEG) device. The hybrid carbon TIM exhibited maximum thermal conductivity when the SWCNT content was near 10 wt%. The TIM thermal contact resistance measured by a home-made calorimeter setup was 2.19 × 10-4 m2K/W, which did not vary with temperature but decreased with applied pressure. Post-treatment of the TIM with a silane coupling agent further reduced the TIM thermal contact resistance by 30%. When the TIM was placed between a TEG device and a copper heat reservoir, the TEG output power increased with the temperature difference across the TEG and applied pressure. Moreover, the post-treatment of the TIM enhanced the output power of the TEG device by up to 18.5%. This work provides a simple and effective pathway towards a carbon-based TIM that can be applied to a high temperature TEG.

Preparation of 2D Carbon Materials by Chemical Carbonization of Cellulosic Materials to Avoid Thermal Decomposition.

Project description:Cellulosic materials, including regenerated cellulose, are promising precursors for a variety of carbon materials. However, thermal decomposition, typically accompanying carbonization at high temperatures, hinders cellulosic materials from being efficiently carbonized (i.e., very low carbon yields). Herein, this study presents a new and efficient method for the preparation of porous 2D carbon materials from sheet-like cellulosic materials, such as papers and fabrics, involving a catalyzed chemical reaction at high temperatures without thermal decomposition. Thus, cellulosic materials are treated with sulfonic acid solutions and significantly dehydrated at high temperatures via evaporation of water. As a result, black materials are obtained at a weight near the theoretical carbon content of cellulose and remain in the carbonized materials. The as-obtained porous 2D carbon materials are flexible and suitable for a wide range of applications such as in electrodes and gas absorbents.

Dynamical Mechanical and Thermal Analyses of Biodegradable Raw Materials for Additive Manufacturing.

Project description:In order to find new ways to ensure sustainable development on a global level, it is essential to combine current top technologies, such as additive manufacturing, with the economic, ecological, and social fields. One objective of this paper refers to wire manufacture such as Arboblend V2 Nature, Arbofill Fichte, and Arboblend V2 Nature reinforced with Extrudr BDP "Pearl" (BDP-Biodegradable Plastic) in order to replace the plastic materials. After wire manufacture by extrusion, the diameter accuracy was analyzed compared with the Fiber Wood wire using SEM analyses and also EDAX-Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis and DSC-Differential Scanning Calorimetry analyses were done in order to identify their elemental composition and the phase transitions suffered by the materials during heating. Using the samples obtained through the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) method, both crystalline phases and chemical composition information (XRD analysis) were identified, as well was determined the visco-elastic behavior Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), for the reinforced material and Fiber Wood. The extruded wires have allowed size for the printing equipment, around 1.75 mm with tolerance of ± 0.05 mm. The wire material diagrams, Arboblend V2 Nature reinforced with Extrudr BDP "Pearl" and Fiber Wood following the calorimetric analysis, presented peaks corresponding to material crystallization, while Arbofill Fichte revealed only the melting temperature. The storage module was almost double in case of Arboblend V2 Nature reinforced with Extrudr BDP "Pearl" compared with Fiber Wood and materials' melting temperatures were confirmed by the analyses carried out.

Thermal, mechanical investigation and neutron shielding analysis for Gd-MOF/polyimide materials.

Project description:None of the currently commercialized shielding materials in Generation IV nuclear energy systems are satisfactory in their performance. Developing a candidate neutron shielding material with good heat resistance and high strength is a challenging task. In this work, various gadolinium metal-organic frameworks (Gd-MOFs) with obvious advantages, such as porous structures, organic surfaces and strong neutron-absorbing nuclei, were synthesized to constrain polyimide (PI) chains. A series of Gd-MOF/PI conjugates were subsequently assessed for their thermal stability, mechanical properties and neutron shielding performance. The increase of the Gd-MOF content improved the thermal neutron shielding ability but slightly reduced the fast neutron shielding ability. Compared with those of pure PI, the Gd-MOF/PI films demonstrate a higher glass transition temperature (T g), which is considered the gold standard of engineering plastics. It was also observed that the tensile strength directly correlates with the Gd-MOF content, which continuously increases until a maximum is reached, and then subsequently decreases. Furthermore, the high-temperature tensile test showed that these tunable Gd-MOF/PI films are intact and robust, indicating their potential application for neutron shielding materials in Generation IV nuclear energy systems.

Aramid Pulp Reinforced Clay Aerogel Composites: Mechanical, Thermal and Combustion Behavior.

Project description:In this work, we reported that aramid pulps (AP) reinforced clay aerogel composites with improved mechanical strength, good thermal insulation and fire resistance based on the combination of AP, Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and sodium montmorillonite (MMT), which present a promising prospect in the thermal insulation application. The PVA-MMT-APx (x: denotes the mass content of AP) aerogel composites present an isotropic "lamella-honeycomb" porous structure, which endows them with excellent comprehensive performance. With the AP content increasing, the extremely low density is kept, ranging between 67-73 mg/cm3, and the low thermal conductivity is maintained within 40.9-47.9 mW·m-1·K-1. The mechanical strength is significantly improved with the maximum compressive modulus increasing from 2.95 to 5.96 MPa and the specific modulus rising from 44.03 to 81.64 MPa∙cm3/g. Their detailed heat transfer process has been analyzed, which provides a deep understanding to the low thermal conductivity of the PVA-MMT-APx aerogel composites. Based on the combination of thermogravimetric analysis and combustion behavior, the PVA-MMT-APx aerogel composites are demonstrated to possess improved thermal stability and fire resistance. This study puts forward a facile approach to utilizing AP to reinforce clay aerogel composites, which provides new insight into the development of thermal-insulating, fire-safe and high-strength thermal insulation materials.

Mechanical and thermal properties of carbon nanotubes in carbon nanotube fibers under tension-torsion loading.

Project description:In carbon nanotube fibers (CNFs) fabricated by spinning methods, it is well-known that the mechanical and thermal performances of CNFs are highly dependent on the mechanical and thermal properties of the inherent CNTs. Furthermore, long CNTs are usually preferred to assemble CNFs because the interaction and entanglement between long CNTs are effectively stronger than between short CNTs. However, in CNFs fabricated using long CNTs, the interior carbon nanotubes (CNTs) inevitably undergo both tension and torsion loading when they are stretched, which would influence the mechanical and thermal performances of CNFs. Here, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were carried out to study the mechanical and thermal properties of individual CNTs under tension-torsion loading. As for mechanical properties, it was found that both the fracture strength and Young's modulus of CNTs decreased as the twist angle α increased. Besides, step-wise fracture happened due to stress concentration when the twisted CNTs are stretched. On the other hand, it could be seen that the thermal conductivity of CNTs decreased as α increased. This work presents the systematic investigation of the mechanical and thermal properties of CNTs under tension-torsion loading and provides a theoretical guideline for the design and fabrication of CNFs.

Mechanical Insights into Aggregation-Induced Delayed Fluorescence Materials with Anti-Kasha Behavior.

Project description:Organic materials with aggregation-induced delayed fluorescence (AIDF) have exhibited impressive merits for improving electroluminescence efficiency and decreasing efficiency roll-off of nondoped organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, the lack of comprehensive insights into the underlying mechanism may impede further development and application of AIDF materials. Herein, AIDF materials consisting of benzoyl serving as an electron acceptor, and phenoxazine and fluorene derivatives as electron donors are reported. They display greatly enhanced fluorescence with increased delayed component upon aggregate formation. Experimental and theoretical investigations reveal that this AIDF phenomenon can be rationally ascribed to the suppression of internal conversion and the promotion of intersystem crossing in solid. Moreover, the theoretical calculations disclose that the efficient solid-state delayed fluorescence originates from the higher energy electronic excited state (e.g., S2) rather than the lowest energy-excited state (S1), demonstrating an anti-Kasha behavior. The excellent AIDF property allows high exciton utilization and thus superb performance of OLEDs using these new materials as light-emitting layers.

Vacancy-Induced Thermal Transport and Tensile Mechanical Behavior of Monolayer Honeycomb BeO.

Project description:Because of the rapid shrinking trend of integrated circuits, the performances of nanodevices and nanomechanical systems are greatly affected by the joule heating and mechanical failure dilemma. In addition, structural defects are inevitable during experimental synthesis of nanomaterials, which may alter their physical properties significantly. Investigation of the thermal transport and mechanical behavior of nanostructured materials with structural defects is thus a crucial requirement. In this study, the thermal conductivity (TC) and tensile mechanical behavior of monolayer honeycomb BeO are systematically explored using molecular dynamics simulations. An infinite length bulk TC of ∼277.77 ± 8.93 W/mK was found for the pristine monolayer BeO. However, the insertion of 1% single vacancy (SV) and double vacancy (DV) defects reduces the TC by ∼36.98 and ∼33.52%, respectively. On the other hand, the uniaxial tensile loading produces asymmetrical fracture stress, elastic modulus, and fracture strain behaviors in the armchair and zigzag directions. The elastic modulus was reduced by ∼4.7 and ∼6.6% for 1% SV defects along the armchair and zigzag directions, respectively, whereas the reduction was ∼2.7 and ∼ 5.1% for 1% DV defects. Moreover, because of the strong symmetry-breaking effect, both the TC and mechanical strength were significantly lower for the SV defects than those for the DV defects. The highly softening and decreasing trends of the phonon modes with increasing vacancy concentration and temperature, respectively, were noticed for both types of defects, resulting in a reduction of the TC of the defected structures. These findings will be helpful for the understanding of the heat transport and mechanical characteristics of monolayer BeO as well as provide guidance for the design and control of BeO-based nanoelectronic and nanoelectromechanical devices.

Advances in Materials for Soft Stretchable Conductors and Their Behavior under Mechanical Deformation.

Project description:Soft stretchable sensors rely on polymers that not only withstand large deformations while retaining functionality but also allow for ease of application to couple with the body to capture subtle physiological signals. They have been applied towards motion detection and healthcare monitoring and can be integrated into multifunctional sensing platforms for enhanced human machine interface. Most advances in sensor development, however, have been aimed towards active materials where nearly all approaches rely on a silicone-based substrate for mechanical stability and stretchability. While silicone use has been advantageous in academic settings, conventional silicones cannot offer self-healing capability and can suffer from manufacturing limitations. This review aims to cover recent advances made in polymer materials for soft stretchable conductors. New developments in substrate materials that are compliant and stretchable but also contain self-healing properties and self-adhesive capabilities are desirable for the mechanical improvement of stretchable electronics. We focus on materials for stretchable conductors and explore how mechanical deformation impacts their performance, summarizing active and substrate materials, sensor performance criteria, and applications.
