二氧化硅微光纤与一维纳米材料集成器件的原理与应用

微光纤器件由于其优异的光波导特性、较高的机械强度、操作灵活性和易于集成的特性，已经受到越来越多的关注，并且实现了在传感、激光、生物化学等领域的广泛应用。然而，二氧化硅微光纤器件尺寸相对较大、材料折射率较低，使其在微纳尺度的气、液态环境中的应用具有极大的挑战性。一维纳米材料的出现弥补了这一不足，由于其具有更小的尺寸和更高的折射率，基于单纳米线集成的微光纤器件在一些特殊环境中可以实现更高灵敏度和更高空间分辨率，拥有广阔的应用前景。本文从器件制备、耦合原理以及具体应用等方面对纳米线集成的微光纤器件进行了系统的介绍，并简要介绍了国内外以及南京大学近年来在该领域的研究进展。

熔融光纤器件熔锥区的形貌和微观结构研究

熔锥型光纤器件的光学性能由熔锥区的微观结构和形貌决定,而微观结构和形貌又由工艺条件决定。为了分析工艺条件对微观结构与形貌的影响机理及规律,以不同拉锥速度制作的耦合器为测试样,用显微红外光谱仪测试了其熔区和锥区的波数,用扫描电子显微镜观察了其相应点的表面形貌。经多次实验发现:在1100 cm-1和810 cm-1左右有两个明显的特征峰;1100 cm-1特征峰在锥区的波数最高,熔区次之,裸光纤最小;且随着拉锥速度的增大,1100 cm-1特征峰移向高波数。在光纤耦合器的锥区,存在微裂纹,随着拉锥速度增大,微裂纹越明显;在光纤耦合器的熔区,光纤表面析出了微小晶粒,且拉锥速度越小,晶粒越粗大。只有在适当的拉锥速度下(这里为150μm/s),熔区和锥区的结构与裸光纤的微观结构接近,且缺陷最少,才能获得较高质量的光纤耦合器。

Effect of transcrystallization in carbon fiber reinforced poly(p-phenylene sulfide) composites on the interfacial shear strength investigated with the single fiber pull-out test

The effect of transcrystallinity in carbon fiber reinforced poly(p-phenylene sulfide (PPS) composites on the apparent shear strength was investigated with the single fiber pull-out test. Transcrystalline zones around the reinforcing fibers do not seem to improve the adhesion level significantly. Neighbor fibers hinder the formation of the transcrystalline zone and a ductile fracture behavior can be observed. However, the apparent strength level is slightly higher for composites containing such reinforcing neighbor fibers compared with single fiber composite samples. During annealing a brittle interface can be formed in the multifiber composite yielding a higher level of the apparent shear strength.     

Studying the dynamics of microdefect growth in carbon fiber reinforced plastics under mechanical loading by means of ultrasonic microscopy

Strength characteristics of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) are investigated by nondestructive means as microstructural changes in a material’s bulk under external mechanical loads. CFRP microstructure is studied experimentally via pulsed ultrasonic microscopy at the level of mechanical deformation resulting in degradation of a material’s properties. The process of composite deformation is studied by means of stepped stretching. Acoustic emissions are used to identify the stage preceding final destruction (the accumulation of microcracks, fibers breaking, and delamination) as an indicator of a material’s degradation. Pulse acoustic microscopy is used to observe the accumulation of microcracks in individual layers of a material. To study the behavior of a CFRP microstructure upon mechanical loading, tensile stress was applied to samples with cross-ply packing of fibers (0°, 90°) and (45°, ?45°). It is shown that the brittle fracturing of reinforcing fibers is typical of CFRPs with fiber orientation (0°, 90°), and is accompanied by growing areas of stress concentration and a rise in of acoustic emission activity, with a subsequent increase in the signal energy and the formation of extensive interlaminar delamination. Acoustic emission shows a low level of activity for CFRP samples with fiber orientation (45°, ?45°), which is accompanied by the formation of structural microdefects that are clearly visible in acoustic images.

Formation of adhesive phase onto high strength and modulus PE fiber by PE solution treatment for making PE fiber-reinforced PE composite

The method for the formation of adhesive phase onto polyethylene (PE) fiber surface by passage of the PE fiber through hot PE solutions has been investigated for making composite materials reinforced by the PE fibers. When the PE fiber is treated by the low density PE (LDPE) solution in o-xylene in the range of 120 to 135^°C, the tensile strength of the PE fiber is maintained at that of the original PE fiber. Adhesive strength between the PE fiber surface and LDPE phase formed on the PE fiber through the hot PE solution is found to be so high that the PE fiber itself is torn off. The application of the present method to PE fiber-reinforced PE composites will be expected.

Enhancing the interfacial strength of glass/epoxy composites using ZnO nanowires

This paper investigated the application of ZnO nanowires (ZnO NW) to enhance the interfacial strength of glass/epoxy composites. ZnO NW were grown on glass fibers by hydrothermal method, tensile properties of bare and ZnO NW coated fibers were measured by single fiber tensile testing, wettability of fiber with resin was studied by contact angle measurements and finally the interfacial strength and mechanisms were determined by single fiber fragmentation testing of glass/epoxy composites. The surface coverage of ZnO NW on glass fibers was fairly uniform without formation of major clusters. The coating of ZnO NW slightly reduced the tensile strength and improved the tensile modulus of fibers. Wettability tests showed reduction in contact angles for ZnO NW coated fibers because of enhanced wetting and infiltration of epoxy resin into nanowires. In fragmentation testing of microcomposites, smaller and concentrated interfacial debonding zones for ZnO NW coated fibers indicated good stress transfer and strong interfacial adhesion. A new form of crossed and closely spaced stress patterns were observed for nanowires of high aspect ratios. The interfacial strength of ZnO NW coated fibers increased by at least 109% and by 430% on average, which was attributed to the increased surface area and mechanical interlocking provided by ZnO NW.     

High-performance aromatic polyimide fibers. 6. Structure and morphology changes in compressed BPDA-DMB fibers

A high-performance aromatic polyimide fiber has been spun from a high molecular weight polyimide synthesized from 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA) and 2,2′-dimethyl-4,4′-diaminobiphenyl (DMB). The fiber exhibits not only excellent tensile properties and high temperature resistance but also a high compressive strength of 655 MPa. Morphological observations of BPDA-DMB fibers indicate that the fiber shows a skin-core structure and microfibrillar textures. A banded texture can also be found with a spacing of about 2μm, which may be introduced by the liquid crystalline behavior that appears during processing. Compressed BPDADMB fibers form kink and microkink bands over different size scales. The detailed formation mechanism of these banded textures is discussed. The structure parameter changes during compression-including crystal unit cell parameters, apparent crystallinity, crystal and overall orientation, and apparent crystallite sizes-are monitored. It is found that after restretching, the crystal and overall orientation is almost fully recovered while the apparent crystallinity is not recoverable. The structural changes during compression are critically associated with the loss of macroscopic mechanical property in the fibers.     

Effect of the fiber orientation on the microcrack formation in a fibrous polymer composite during friction

Triboluminescence is used to study the microcrack formation during dry sliding friction on steel of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and a composite material consisting of a PPS matrix reinforced with a carbon fiber fabric. It is found that, when fabric layers are parallel to the slip plane, the number and linear sizes of microcracks are larger than those in PPS. In contrast, when fabric layers are normal to the slip plane, the number and linear sizes of microcracks are smaller than those in PPS. These effects are explained by the formation of boundary layers in the matrix in which molecules are oriented parallel to the axis of fibers in the fabric.     

Modified flax fibers reinforced soy-based composites: mechanical properties and water absorption behavior

Flax fibers are often used in reinforced composites which have exhibited numerous advantages such as high mechanical properties, low density and biodegradablility. On the other hand, the hydrophilic nature of flax fiber is a major problem. In this study, we prepare the soybean oil based composites reinforced with protein coated and lipid acylated flax fibers and compare their water uptake properties. Results showed that water resistance properties of the composites are improved where treated flax fibers are used. The composite with lipid acylation of the flax fiber exhibited to enhance tensile strength and water resistance properties. Influences of fiber length, fiber loading and pressure on mechanical properties are also reported.     

Mechanical and tribological enhancement of polyoxymethylene-based composites with long basalt fiber through melt pultrusion

Abstract

The polyoxymethylene (POM)/basalt fiber composites were prepared by use of long fiber-reinforced thermoplastic technology through melt pultrusion. The mechanical and tribological properties, morphology, and thermal stability of the resulting composites were investigated. The composites exhibit significant improvements in tensile, flexural, and notched impact strength. These mechanical strength and toughness are dependent on the fiber content over the full range of the study. The residual fiber length and distribution in the injection-molded specimens were characterized. The prominent reinforcement effect of basalt fiber on POM is derived from the supercritical fiber length, which is much longer than that of the short fiber-reinforced ones and thus makes the composites take full advantage of the strength of the reinforcing fibers. The Kelly–Tyson model was used to predict the ultimate tensile strength of POM composites using the measured values of residual fiber length in the matrix, but the deviations were observed at the high contents of basalt fiber. The morphologic investigation indicates that the fiber pullout and fiber breakage both contribute energy dissipation to the tensile fracture of the composites. The tribological characterization indicates that the friction coefficients and specific wear rates of POM composites also decrease remarkably. Such an improvement of tribological performance is due to the presence of the high wear-resistant basalt fibers on the top of the worn surface bearing the dynamic loadings under sliding. Moreover, the dynamic mechanical analysis reveals that the storage moduli of the composites increase with increasing the fiber content, whereas the loss factors present an opposite trend.
