Anodic Fabrication of Ti-Ni-O Nanotube Arrays on Shape Memory Alloy.

ABSTRACT: Surface modification with oxide nanostructures is one of the efficient ways to improve physical or biomedical properties of shape memory alloys. This work reports a fabrication of highly ordered Ti-Ni-O nanotube arrays on Ti-Ni alloy substrates through pulse anodization in glycerol-based electrolytes. The effects of anodization parameters and the annealing process on the microstructures and surface morphology of Ti-Ni-O were studied using scanning electron microscope and Raman spectroscopy. The electrolyte type greatly affected the formation of nanotube arrays. A formation of anatase phase was found with the Ti-Ni-O nanotube arrays annealed at 450 °C. The oxide nanotubes could be crystallized to rutile phase after annealing treatment at 650 °C. The Ti-Ni-O nanotube arrays demonstrated an excellent thermal stability by keeping their nanotubular structures up to 650 °C.

Anodic Fabrication of Ti-Ni-Si-O Nanostructures on Ti10Ni5Si Alloy.

Project description:Ti-Ni-Si-O nanostructures were synthesized on Ti10Ni5Si alloy through an electrochemical anodization in electrolyte solutions containing ammonium fluoride (NH4F). The anodic oxide structures were affected by the electrochemical anodization parameters, including the electrolyte viscosity, water content, anodization potential and anodization time. Using an anodization potential of 40 V for 90 min in an ethylene glycol/glycerol electrolyte with 3 vol.% deionized water, highly ordered self-organized nanotube arrays were obtained in the α-Ti phase region of the alloy substrate, with an average inner diameter of 70 nm and a wall thickness of about 12 nm. Self-organized nanopore structures with an average pore diameter of 25 nm grew in the Ti5Si3 phase region. Only etching pits were found in the Ti2Ni phase region. The Ti-Ni-Si-O nanostructures were characterized using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. In addition, a formation mechanism of different nanostructures was presented.

Fabrication of Ni-Ti-O nanotube arrays by anodization of NiTi alloy and their potential applications.

Project description:Nickel-titanium-oxide (Ni-Ti-O) nanotube arrays (NTAs) prepared on nearly equiatomic NiTi alloy shall have broad application potential such as for energy storage and biomedicine, but their precise structure control is a great challenge because of the high content of alloying element of Ni, a non-valve metal that cannot form a compact electronic insulating passive layer when anodized. In the present work, we systemically investigated the influence of various anodization parameters on the formation and structure of Ni-Ti-O NTAs and their potential applications. Our results show that well controlled NTAs can be fabricated during relatively wide ranges of the anodization voltage (5-90?V), electrolyte temperature (10-50°C) and electrolyte NH4F content (0.025-0.8?wt%) but within a narrow window of the electrolyte H2O content (0.0-1.0?vol%). Through modulating these parameters, the Ni-Ti-O NTAs with different diameter (15-70?nm) and length (45-1320?nm) can be produced in a controlled manner. Regarding potential applications, the Ni-Ti-O NTAs may be used as electrodes for electrochemical energy storage and non-enzymic glucose detection, and may constitute nanoscaled biofunctional coating to improve the biological performance of NiTi based biomedical implants.

Electric charging/discharging characteristics of super capacitor, using de-alloying and anodic oxidized Ti-Ni-Si amorphous alloy ribbons.

Project description:Charging/discharging behaviors of de-alloyed and anodic oxidized Ti-Ni-Si amorphous alloy ribbons were measured as a function of current between 10 pA and 100 mA, using galvanostatic charge/discharging method. In sharp contrast to conventional electric double layer capacitor (EDLC), discharging behaviors for voltage under constant currents of 1, 10 and 100 mA after 1.8 ks charging at 100 mA show parabolic decrease, demonstrating direct electric storage without solvents. The supercapacitors, devices that store electric charge on their amorphous TiO2-x surfaces that contain many 70-nm sized cavities, show the Ragone plot which locates at lower energy density region near the 2nd cells, and RC constant of 800 s (at 1 mHz), which is 157,000 times larger than that (5 ms) in EDLC.

Plastic deformation behaviour of single-crystalline martensite of Ti-Nb shape memory alloy.

Project description:?-Ti alloys have attracted considerable attention as new biomedical shape memory alloys. Given the critical importance of the plastic deformation in the martensite phase for the shape memory effect and superelasticity, we investigated here the plastic deformation behaviour of a single crystal of ?? (orthorhombic) martensite of Ti-27?mol%Nb shape memory alloy obtained by the stress-induced martensitic transformation of a single crystal of the parent ? phase. Four operative plastic deformation modes were observed, including two dislocation slips and two twinnings. To the best of our knowledge, two of these plastic deformation modes (one dislocation slip and one twinning) were discovered for the first time in this study. The identified slip and twinning systems in the martensite phase have corresponding slip and twinning systems in the parent ? phase with which they share many similarities. Therefore, we believe that the plastic deformation of the ?? martensite is inherited from that of the parent ? phase.

Design and development of novel antibacterial Ti-Ni-Cu shape memory alloys for biomedical application.

Project description:In the case of medical implants, foreign materials are preferential sites for bacterial adhesion and microbial contamination, which can lead to the development of prosthetic infections. Commercially biomedical TiNi shape memory alloys are the most commonly used materials for permanent implants in contact with bone and dental, and the prevention of infections of TiNi biomedical shape memory alloys in clinical cases is therefore a crucial challenge for orthopaedic and dental surgeons. In the present study, copper has been chosen as the alloying element for design and development novel ternary biomedical Ti?Ni?Cu shape memory alloys with antibacterial properties. The effects of copper alloying element on the microstructure, mechanical properties, corrosion behaviors, cytocompatibility and antibacterial properties of biomedical Ti?Ni?Cu shape memory alloys have been systematically investigated. The results demonstrated that Ti?Ni?Cu alloys have good mechanical properties, and remain the excellent shape memory effects after adding copper alloying element. The corrosion behaviors of Ti?Ni?Cu alloys are better than the commercial biomedical Ti?50.8Ni alloys. The Ti?Ni?Cu alloys exhibit excellent antibacterial properties while maintaining the good cytocompatibility, which would further guarantee the potential application of Ti?Ni?Cu alloys as future biomedical implants and devices without inducing bacterial infections.

Fabrication of Silica Nanoparticle Monolayer Arrays Using an Anodic Aluminum Oxide Template.

Project description:Non-close-packed (NCP) silica nanoparticle monolayer arrays (SNMA) on ordered porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates were fabricated for the first time by a novel two-step spin-coating technique. The obtained NCP-SNMA-AAO was composed of silica nanoparticles (average primary particle size of 440 nm) and well-organized nanopores on the AAO substrates. NCP-SNMA-AAO with a supporting ratio of 87% silica nanoparticles showed a hydrophilic surface (water contact angle of 51.0°), while the original AAO substrate shows a hydrophobic surface (water contact angle of 107.9°). The maximum coefficient of static friction was decreased by 29% (0.327 ? 0.233). The coefficient of dynamic friction was also decreased by 20% (0.281 ? 0.226). We found that controlling the silica supporting ratio using the two-step spin-coating technique is an effective approach for surface modification of an AAO substrate.

Giant and reversible room-temperature elastocaloric effect in a single-crystalline Ni-Fe-Ga magnetic shape memory alloy.

Project description:Good mechanical properties and large adiabatic temperature change render Heusler-type Ni2FeGa-based magnetic shape memory alloys as a promising candidate material for solid-state mechanical cooling application at ambient conditions. Superelastic behavior and associated elastocaloric effect strongly reply on deformation conditions (e.g. applied strain rate and strain level) of stress-induced martensitic transformations. With the aim of developing high-performance elastic cooling materials, in this work, we have carried out a systematic study on a Ni54Fe19Ga27 [420]-oriented single crystal by exploring the interaction between dynamic deformation parameters and thermal response. A giant and reversible adiabatic temperature change of ±7.5?K triggered by a low stress of 30?MPa was achieved. Such a high specific cooling performance thus offers the great advantage for the small scale solid-state mechanical cooling applications. Besides, a significant temporary residual strain effect has been observed at high strain rate, which is unfavorable for reversible elastocaloric effect but can be overcome by reducing stress hysteresis, and/or by elevating initial environmental temperature. The established criterion for the desirable reversible elastocaloric properties goes beyond the present system, and can be applicable for other shape memory alloys used for elastic cooling techniques.

A jumping shape memory alloy under heat.

Project description:Shape memory alloys are typical temperature-sensitive metallic functional materials due to superelasticity and shape recovery characteristics. The conventional shape memory effect involves the formation and deformation of thermally induced martensite and its reverse transformation. The shape recovery process usually takes place over a temperature range, showing relatively low temperature-sensitivity. Here we report novel Cu-Al-Fe-Mn shape memory alloys. Their stress-strain and shape recovery behaviors are clearly different from the conventional shape memory alloys. In this study, although the Cu-12.2Al-4.3Fe-6.6Mn and Cu-12.9Al-3.8Fe-5.6Mn alloys possess predominantly L2(1) parent before deformation, the 2H martensite stress-induced from L2(1) parent could be retained after unloading. Furthermore, their shape recovery response is extremely temperature-sensitive, in which a giant residual strain of about 9% recovers instantly and completely during heating. At the same time, the phenomenon of the jumping of the sample occurs. It is originated from the instantaneous completion of the reverse transformation of the stabilized 2H martensite. This novel Cu-Al-Fe-Mn shape memory alloys have great potentials as new temperature-sensitive functional materials.

Fabrication of Large-Area Molybdenum Disulfide Device Arrays Using Graphene/Ti Contacts.

Project description:Two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is the most mature material in 2D material fields owing to its relatively high mobility and scalability. Such noticeable properties enable it to realize practical electronic and optoelectronic applications. However, contact engineering for large-area MoS2 films has not yet been established, although contact property is directly associated to the device performance. Herein, we introduce graphene-interlayered Ti contacts (graphene/Ti) into large-area MoS2 device arrays using a wet-transfer method. We achieve MoS2 devices with superior electrical and photoelectrical properties using graphene/Ti contacts, with a field-effect mobility of 18.3 cm2/V∙s, on/off current ratio of 3 × 107, responsivity of 850 A/W, and detectivity of 2 × 1012 Jones. This outstanding performance is attributable to a reduction in the Schottky barrier height of the resultant devices, which arises from the decreased work function of graphene induced by the charge transfer from Ti. Our research offers a direction toward large-scale electronic and optoelectronic applications based on 2D materials.

Origami-inspired thin-film shape memory alloy devices.

Project description:We describe the design and fabrication of miniaturized origami structures based on thin-film shape memory alloys. These devices are attractive for medical implants, as they overcome the opposing requirements of crimping the implant for insertion into an artery while keeping sensitive parts of the implant nearly stress-free. The designs are based on a group theory approach in which compatibility at a few creases implies the foldability of the whole structure. Importantly, this approach is versatile and thus provides a pathway for patient-specific treatment of brain aneurysms of differing shapes and sizes. The wafer-based monolithic fabrication method demonstrated here, which comprises thin-film deposition, lithography, and etching using sacrificial layers, is a prerequisite for any integrated self-folding mechanism or sensors and will revolutionize the availability of miniaturized implants, allowing for new and safer medical treatments.
