Radiation Resistant Vanadium-Graphene Nanolayered Composite.

ABSTRACT: Ultra high strength V-graphene nanolayers were developed for the first time that was demonstrated to have an excellent radiation tolerance as revealed by the He(+) irradiation study. Radiation induced hardening, evaluated via nanopillar compressions before and after He(+) irradiation, is significantly reduced with the inclusion of graphene layers; the flow stresses of V-graphene nanolayers with 110?nm repeat layer spacing showed an increase of 25% while pure V showed an increase of 88% after He(+) dosage of 13.5?dpa. The molecular dynamics simulations confirmed that the graphene interface can spontaneously absorb the nearby crystalline defects that are produced from a collision cascade, thereby enhancing the lifetime of the V-graphene nanolayers via this self-healing effect. In addition, the impermeability of He gas through the graphene resulted in suppression of He bubble agglomerations that in turn reduced embrittlement. In-situ SEM compression also showed the ability of graphene to hinder crack propagation that suppressed the failure.

Project description:The hybrid composite of silver nanowires (AgNWs) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was synthesized in situ by an improved polyol-thermal method. The AgNWs-RGO with mass contents of 5-37 wt% was added into the thermo-reversible Diels-Alder reaction polyurethane (DA-PU) matrix with the AgNWs as the main conductor and the RGO as the auxiliary conductor to prepare self-healing composite conductive films. Further, the electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, mechanical properties, infrared thermal response, and self-healing property of the composite film under infrared light irradiation were studied. The experimental results demonstrate that the AgNWs-RGO endows the composite film with good electrical and thermal conductivity and infrared thermal response ability, while the mechanical properties of the composite film decrease as the AgNWs-RGO mass content increases. The self-healing efficiency of the composite film is higher than that of the pure DA-PU under infrared light irradiation due to the good infrared photothermal response ability of the AgNWs-RGO. When the mass content of AgNWs-RGO in the composite film was 25 wt%, the AgNWs-RGO showed good dispersion in composite films, and the resistivity, thermal conductivity, and tensile strength of the composite film were 0.544 Ω·m, 0.3039 W·m-1·K-1, and 9.05 MPa, respectively. The infrared photothermal conversion temperature of the composite film is 158.5 °C (3450 lux for 1 min), and the infrared photothermal self-healing efficiency is 118% (3450 lux for 600 s). The AgNWs-RGO also improves the multiple self-healing ability of the composite film. The use of a high mass content of AgNWs-RGO in the composite film is beneficial in obtaining high multiple self-healing efficiencies. The first and the fifth infrared thermal self-healing efficiencies of the composite film with AgNWs-RGO of 35 wt% are 105% and 86%, respectively, and the resistivity of the composite film changes little and still maintains good conductivity.
