Delaminations are a common damage mechanism that occurs on composite structures due to in-service impacts. Enclosed damages less than 50 mm in diameter are of particular interest for repair. Current practices for repair of delaminations include: cut out of the damage and applying a patch or doubler to the cutout site, or injection using a repair resin. The use of a bonded doubler repair is more invasive and requires a cutout that acts as a stress concentration in the area of the repair. Injection repairs have traditionally been a faster, less expensive way to repair composite delaminations. However, the aerospace industry has not accepted injection repair as a strength restorative process. Questions about quantifying delamination internal contamination and ensuring percentage of repair resin fill within a delamination have been primary reasons why injection repairs have not been credited with strength restoration. Development of a new quantitative internal surface cleaning, preparation and repair process for delaminated composite materials is required to provide justification for strength restoration using injection repair. Fabricating representative local delaminations was performed with a modified end-notch flexure (ENF) test. A unidirectional 24-ply panel was fabricated to simulate damage to laminates. Intentional contamination was introduced into the induced delamination of each panel type. Contamination removal and surface preparation using solvent and atmospheric plasma cleaning were completed on the modified ENF coupon and verified utilizing in-line monitoring with Quantitative Gas Analysis (QGA) and post processing inspection with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). A modified low-viscosity injection resin was developed and utilized to repair the post-tested ENF coupons. The modified epoxy exhibited comparable shear strength characteristics to un-modified neat resin while achieving a >97% reduction in viscosity. Each ENF panel type was assessed f

The high-temperature lead-free solder alloys of Al-95Zn with the modification of the addition of Sn have been investigated. Its proportion is used to adjust the metallographic microstructure, solidified precipitate phase, and liquidus temperature of the solder alloy. The characterization results, such as scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), will be discussed in this study. The study results show that the Al-Sn-Zn-based alloy has (Zn)+β- Sn+(Al) precipitates when heat-treated at 900°C for 36 h. Its liquidus temperature of Al-95Zn + xSn is between 342-385°C, and increased Sn content will decrease its liquidus temperature.
It has been indicated that the path forward for the widespread usage of ferroelectric (FE) materials may be considerably facilitated through the reduction of programming voltages to on-chip logic-compatible values of ...

We investigated the effect of copper ion concentration in zinc-copper dual-ion electrolytes to suppress dendrites and extend the cycle life of zinc ion capacitors. The devices were characterized in terms of changes in microstructure and cycling stability. The nuclei size was decreased in the optimal copper ion concentration to promote lateral deposition and avoid vertical dendrites. The device exhibited stable cycling performance with a capacitance retention of 95% after 10,000 redox cycles, compared to the device with single zinc ion electrolyte which short circuited at around 1,250 redox cycles.
