Cross-linked polystyrene/glass fiber composites were fabricated using cross-linked polystyrene (CLPS) as matrix and E-glass fiber as the reinforcement. Surfaces of E-glass fibers were modified by vinyl triethoxysilane (VTES), vinyl trimethoxysilane (VTMS) and γ-methacryloylpropyl trimethoxysilane (MPS). The treated glass fibers were analyzed by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) were employed to investigate the effect of glass fibers surface modification on viscoelastic behavior and thermal properties. The morphology of fracture surfaces of various composites was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results revealed that these coupling agents were connected to the surfaces of the fibers by chemical bonding. Dynamic mechanical properties as well as thermal stability of the composites were improved considerablely, but to varying degrees depending on the fiber modification. The diversities of improvement of properties were attributed to the different interfacial adhesion between CLPS matrix and the glass fibers.

The ability to fabricate high precision micro- to nanoscale structure in a wide variety of materials is of crucial importance for the advancement of microtechnology, nanotechnology and nanoscience. Also, the ability to create micrometer and sub-micrometer architecture for functional ceramics is a prerequisite of exploring the rich field of ceramic nanotechnology. In this work we fabricated three-dimensional oxide ceramic materials with fine-structure over multiple length scales by combining replication patterning technique, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), oxide ceramic material (TiO2) nano-sized particles. Our study is based on the idea that PVA can be easily detached from a mold by peeling. We confirmed that micron and sub-micron-sized fine-structured oxide ceramic patterns containing nano-sized pores could be fabricated using this procedure. The results presented demonstrate the compositional and structural diversities that are possible with a facile approach and simple method.

In this paper, the precipitation of β-Mg17Al12 in aging process of Mg-9%Al (mass fraction) alloy was studied using a diffuse-interface phase field model. In the model, the precipitate phase and the matrix are distinguished by a structural order parameter, and the interface region is assumed to be a mixture of the precipitate phase and the matrix. The mixture composition was calculated using a weighted average method. Two techniques of approximation for the chemical free energy of precipitate phase and matrix were employed, where the variation characteristics of the free energy with the mole fraction of solute were included. In the simulation, the temperature and diffusion mobility coefficient were assumed to be constant. The effects of the solution approximations on the morphology evolution and growth kinetics of the precipitate were discussed. The effects of the interface mobility coefficient on the interface growth kinetics were examined, and the effects of the interface anisotropy between the precipitate phase and the matrix on the morphology of the precipitate were also discussed. It is demonstrated that the solution approximation taking into account the interaction between atoms for a binary system provides a good description for the chemical free energy. The simulation results showed that the precipitate phase growing from a supersaturated solid solution has a plate-like shape, which is in agreement with experimental observations. The growth kinetics of the precipitate phase is significantly influenced by the interface mobility coefficient.

A facile and large-scale synthesis method to fabricate silver hollow microspheres with controllable morphologies and shell thickness is described using low-cost glass microspheres as templates. The method mainly involves two steps of the preparation of silver-coated glass microsphere core–shell particles by a controllable liquid reduced reaction of Ag[(NH3)2]+ solution, which only produces silver nanoparticles anchored on the surface of the thiolated glass microsphere templates, and the removal of glass microspheres by wet chemical etching with HF solution. The products are well characterized by field emitted scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmitted electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) etc. The as-prepared core-shell particles and hollow particles have even and compact silver shells. The electromagnetic shielding coatings based on the silver hollow microspheres are demonstrated to have high conductivity, excellent shielding effectiveness and long durability, suggesting that the silver hollow microspheres obtained here are a novel light-weight electromagnetic shielding filler and will have extensive applications in the electromagnetic compatibility fields.

Zinc oxide hexagonal tubular crystals were synthesized by direct microwave heating from ZnO powders within 5 min without any metal catalysts or transport agents. ZnO source materials were evaporated from the high-temperature zone in an enclosure, and crystals were grown on the self-source substrate in an appropriate condition. The ZnO vapor formed in the high-temperature zone can deposit and grow on the powders located in the low-temperature zone to form crystals. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveals that these products are hexagonal tube crystals with 80 ~rn in diameter and 250 μm in length, having a well faceted end and side surface. A possible growth mechanism and the influence of reaction temperature on the formation of crystalline ZnO hexagonal tubes were presented. The photoluminescence (PL) exhibits strong ultraviolet emission at room temperature, indicating the potential applications in short-wave light-emitting photonic devices.
