材料科学技术（英文）

The steady state creep rate equdtion of a nickel base superalloy Inconel 718, strengthened by coherent ordered disc-shaped bct γ~(11) phase and coherent spherical fcc γ~1 phase precipitates, has been established in the stress and temperature ranges of 620-840 MN m~(-2) and 853-943K, respecti- vely. Constant stress tensile creep tests were used to medsure the values of steady state creep rate, ε_s, and the consecutive stress reduction method was used to measure the back stress during creep deformation. The values of effective stress exponent, n_e, were detemined from the slopes of the lgε_s vs. lg(σ_a-σ_0)/G plots. The effect of grain size, d, on steady state creep rdte has been also studied in this investigation, and the grain size sensitive exponents m were detemined from the slopes of lgε_s vs. lg(b/d) plots. The creep rate equations of Inconel 718, in the above stress and temperature ranges, have been proposed to be ε_s=1.6×10~(-5)(D_1Gb/KT) (b/d )~(0.19)[(σ_a-σ_0)/G]~(1.35) in diffusional creep region, and ε_s =75(D_1Gb/KT) (b/d)~(-0.42)[(σ_a-σ_0)/G]~(5.5) in dislocation power law creep region.

Evaluating and Modeling the Mechanical Properties of the Prepared PLGA/nano-BCP Composite Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering

Mehdi Ebrahimian-Hosseinabadi Fakhredin Ashrafizadeh Mohammadreza Etemadifar Subbu S. Venkatraman

材料科学技术（英文）

In this paper, preparation of nano-biphasic calcium phosphate (nBCP), mechanical behavior and load-bearing of poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and PLGA/nBCP are presented. The nBCP with composition of 63/37 (w/w) HA/β-TCP (hydroxyapatite/β-tricalcium phosphate) was produced by heating of bovine bone at 700°C. Composite scaffolds were made by using PLGA matrix and 10-50 wt% nBCP powders as reinforcement  material. All scaffolds were prepared by thermally induced solid-liquid phase separation (TIPS) at -60°C under 4 Pa (0.04 mbar) vacuum. The results of elastic modulus testing were adjusted with Ishai-Cohen and Narkis models for rigid polymeric matrix and compared to each other. PLGA/nBCP scaffolds with 30 wt% nBCP showed the highest value of yield strength among the scaffolds. In addition, it was found that by increasing the nBCP in scaffolds to 50 wt%, the modulus of elasticity was highly enhanced. However, the optimum value of yield strength was obtained at 30 wt% nBCP, and the agglomeration of reinforcing particles at higher percentages caused a reduction in yield strength. It is clear that the elastic modulus of matrix has the significant role in elastic modulus of scaffolds, as also the size of the filler particles in the matrix.

Biomimicry of bamboo bast fiber with engineering composite materials

Materials Science & Engineering C-Biomimetic Materials Sensors and Systems

Bamboo, one of the strongest natural structural composite materials, has many distinguishing features. It has been found that its reinforcement unit, hollow, multilayered and spirally-wound bast fiber, plays an extremely important role in its mechanical behavior. In the present work, on the basis of the study on bamboo bast fiber and wood tracheid, a biomimetic model of the reinforcing element, composed of two layers of helically wound fiber, was suggested. To detect the structural characteristics of such a microstructure, four types of macro fiber specimens made of engineering composites were employed: axially aligned solid and hollow cylinders, and single- and double-helical hollow cylinders. These specimens were subjected to several possible loadings, and the experimental results reveal that only the double-helical structural unit possesses the optimum comprehensive mechanical properties. An interlaminar transition zone model imitating bamboo bast fiber was proposed and was verified by engineering composite materials. In our work, the transition zone can increase the interlaminar shear strength of the composite materials by about 15%. These biomimetic structural models can be applied in the design and manufacture of engineering composite materials.

Direct formation of Na3AlH6 by mechanical milling NaH/Al with TiF3

Applied Physics Letters

Na3AlH6 can be directly formed by mechanical milling NaH/Al with TiF3 under hydrogen atmosphere. The hydrogenation fraction of NaH increases with increasing the milling time, and reaches up to 0.61 after 20 h milling. Thus-formed Na3AlH6 exhibits unexpected polymorphic transformation and decomposition behaviors. This, together with the unusual hydrogen storage performance of the mechanically prepared materials, provides us a suggestive perspective to probe the favorable modification of the thermodynamics of Na3AlH6 and nature of active Ti-species in Ti-doped NaAlH4.

Strengthening Materials by Engineering Coherent Internal Boundaries at the Nanoscale

Science

Strengthening materials traditionally involves the controlled creation of internal defects and boundaries so as to obstruct dislocation motion. Such strategies invariably compromise ductility, the ability of the material to deform, stretch, or change shape permanently without breaking. Here, we outline an approach to optimize strength and ductility by identifying three essential structural characteristics for boundaries: coherency with surrounding matrix, thermal and mechanical stability, and smallest feature size finer than 100 nanometers. We assess current understanding of strengthening and propose a methodology for engineering coherent, nanoscale internal boundaries, specifically those involving nanoscale twin boundaries. Additionally, we discuss perspectives on strengthening and preserving ductility, along with potential applications for improving failure tolerance, electrical conductivity, and resistance to electromigration.

Studies of the anion position parameter chi of the ternary semiconductor CuGaS2 by use of Ni+ ion probe

Materials Science and Engineering B-Solid State Materials for Advanced Technology

The anion position parameter chi of NiS4 cluster formed in the ternary semiconductor CuGaS2 by substitution of Ni+ for Cu+ has been determined by studying the optical spectra and EPR data for CuGaS2:Ni+. The result (chi approximate to 0.263(1)) is consistent with the mean value of the X-ray measurement results reported in two groups of references and also with the calculated value obtained from the conservation of tetrahedral bonds (CTB) plus eta = eta(tet) rule (where eta = c/2a). So, we suggest that the anion position parameter chi in pure CuGaS2 crystal is close to the above value obtained by use of Ni+ ion probe. The optical absorption bands and g factors g(parallel to), g(perpendicular to), of CuGaS2: Ni+ are therefore explained reasonably from the anion position parameter. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V.

Study on compression behavior of porous magnesium used as bone tissue engineering scaffolds

Biomedical Materials

In this work, porous magnesium (Mg) with a three-dimensional open-cellular structure, potentially employed as bone tissue engineering scaffolds, was fabricated by the mechanical perforation method. The influences of porosity, pore size and pore arrangement on compressive behavior and the anisotropy of new porous Mg were analyzed theoretically using orthogonal arrays and the finite element method (FEM). The results showed that the parameters of porosity, pore size and pore arrangement had different effects on the compressive properties. The compressive strength could be improved by optimizing these parameters. The anisotropy of porous Mg was also verified in this study. The theoretical results showed good agreement with the experimental ones before the strain reaches 0.038.
