The effect of structural features on mechanical properties of loose optical fiber poly(butylene terephthalate) tubes

Results of a study on the modifying mechanical properties of loose optical‐fiber poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) tubes, produced during the standard industrial extrusion process, show that heat treatment make the structure of their material to change. The study comprised measurements of mechanical strengths properties of the tubes (tensile strength, compression strength, kinking) and determination of tube material structure [by differential thermal analysis (DTA), wide angle X‐ray scattering analysis (WAXD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)]. Results of the study allowed observation that the annealing at 70°C for 34 h of the tubes caused the crystalline α phase to increase in the tube material from ～28.5% to ～31.5% and the structure of the existing crystallites to become more perfect. This made the values of certain mechanical properties of the tubes to increase even by as much as 30%. The tubes following such thermal treatment could be used in cables exposed to heavy‐duty operation in arduous environments, where a larger margin from the standpoint of mechanical properties is required. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Heat-treated GeSb_2Te_4 Thin Films

The effect of annealing on microstructure,adhesive and frictional properties of GeSb 2 Te 4 films were experimentally studied.The GeSb 2 Te 4 films were prepared by radio frequency(RF)magnetron sputtering,and annealed at 200℃and 340℃under vacuum circumstance,respectively.The adhesion and friction experiments were mainly conducted with a lateral force microscope(LFM)for the GeSb 2 Te 4 thin films before and after annealing.Their morphology and phase structure were analyzed by using atomic force microscopy(AFM)and X-ray Diffraction(XRD)techniques,and the nanoindention was employed to evaluate their hardness values.Moreover,an electric force microscope(EFM)was used to measure the surface potential. It is found that the deposited GeSb 2 Te 4 thin film undergoes an amorphous-to-fcc and fcc-to-hex structure transition;the adhesion has a weaker dependence on the surface roughness,but a certain correlation with the surface potential of GeSb 2 Te 4 thin films.And the friction behavior of GeSb 2 Te 4 thin films follows their adhesion behavior under a lower applied load.However,such a relation is replaced by the mechanical behavior when the load is relatively higher.Moreover,the GeSb 2 Te 4 thin film annealed at 340℃presents a lubricative property.

n-Al2O3P/Ni复合刷镀层的组织和摩擦磨损特性

层状Ti3SiC2陶瓷的组织结构及力学性能

利用热压烧结TiH₂,Si和C粉获得了致密度大于98%的层状Ti₃SiC₂陶瓷。利用压痕法,在不同的载荷下测定了材料的维氏硬度, 发现其硬度值随载荷的增加而降低,在最大载荷30kg时,硬度值为4GPa。压痕对角线没有发现径向裂纹的出现。 这归因于多重能量吸收机制——颗粒的层裂、裂纹的扩展、颗粒的变形等。利用三点弯曲法和单边切口梁法测定了材料的强度和韧性分别为270MPa和6.8MPa·m1/2。Ti₃SiC₂材料的断口表现出明显的层状性质,大颗粒易于发生层裂和穿晶断裂,小颗粒易被拔出。当裂纹沿平行于Ti₃SiC₂基面的方向扩展造成颗粒的层裂,当裂纹沿垂直于基面的方向扩展时,裂纹穿过颗粒的同时,在颗粒内部发生偏转,使裂纹的扩展路径增加。裂纹的扩展路径类似人们根据仿生结构设计的层状复合材料。裂纹在颗粒内的多次偏转、裂纹钉扎以及颗粒的层裂和拔出等是材料韧性提高的主要原因。此外,在室温下得到的荷载-位移曲线,说明Ti₃SiC₂材料不象其它陶瓷材料的脆性断裂,而是具有金属一样的塑性。

Dielectric, Ferroelectric and Piezoelectric Studies of PMN Modified PLZT Ceramics

Dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of xPb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃-(1-x)(Pb_0.988 La_0.012)(Zr_0.535Ti_0.465)O₃ ceramic system synthesized through columbite precursor method are investigated. X-ray diffraction patterns of ceramics indicated pseudocubic phase formation with pyrochlore phase. Grain growth (4.47 μ m) and apparent density (7.68 gm/cm³) enhanced remarkably in 0.8PMN-0.2PLZT composition, respectively. Increasing PMN content remarkably increased both room temperature dielectric permittivity (ε_RT = 2316) and dielectric maximum (ε_Tc = 24747) in 0.6PMN-0.4PLZT composition, respectively. PMN substitution in PLZT system enhanced the ferroelectric remanent (P_r = 28.4 μ C/cm²) and spontaneous (P_s = 31.2 μ C/cm²) polarization while coercive field (E_c) continuously decreased in xPMN-(1-x)PLZT system. PMN modification in PLZT system influenced piezoelectric properties (d₃₃, k_p and k_t) throughout the PMN-PLZT system.
