Influence of the ion irradiation at elevated temperatures on the novel preceramic paper-derived SiCf/SiC laminated composites fabricated by spark plasma sintering was investigated. The composites were subjected to high-dose simultaneous irradiation of silicon (Si) ions at 400 °C. Irradiation induces amorphization of the damaged area up to 30 dpa, and then recrystallization of amorphous regions with increasing dose occur. No evidence of cavities was found in SiCf/SiC composites irradiated by silicon ions up to 100 dpa. The irradiated composites pre-injected with 5000 appm He displays low swelling (~ 0.3%). The irradiation with Si ions may suppress the cavity nucleation and they growth in SiC layers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It remains a challenge to prepare special engineering paper with excellent mechanical properties, high temperature resistance and chemical resistance. The emergence of high-performance fiber provides support for the technical progress of special engineering paper. Herein, a novel method to obtain a novel self-reinforced poly (ether ether ketone) (PEEK) composite paper (SR-DI-PEEK/paper) by vacuum filtration, impregnation and hot pressing. Specially, PEEK fibers were used as the skeleton fiber and a small amount of aramid pulp was added as the decanted fiber. By optimizing the process of SR-DI-PEEK/paper preparation, the best mechanical properties of SR-DI-PEEK/paper was presented. Compared with the composite paper prepared with Phenolic solution (PF-PEEK/paper) and Polyimide solution (PI-PEEK/paper), the mechanical properties of SR-DI-PEEK/paper was significantly improved. In particular, when the concentration of impregnation was 3 wt%, the tensile index of SR-DI-PEEK/paper reached 51.10 N m g−1 (tensile strength 47.16 kN m−1), which is 16.48 times than that of the un-impregnated PEEK/paper (2.86 kN m−1). SR-DI-PEEK/paper also exhibited excellent chemical resistance among acid, alkali, and polar solvents, while the tensile index maintained 96.3% after 40 wt% H2SO4 treatment. Besides, SR-DI-PEEK/paper showed superior thermal performance, while the temperatures corresponding to the weight loss of 5% were 574 °C. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The hydrogel in this paper is designed to do just that, by using controlled release from a hydrogel to deliver the drug quickly and at a relatively high concentration to the interior of cancer cells. The paper describes the synthesis and in-vitro testing of a hydrogel composite that is designed to maximize toxicity to cancer cells by both efficiently delivering the cancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) and overheating the cells with magnetically induced hyperthermia. This makes it highly desirable to develop a delivery system that can encapsulate the drug, bring the drug directly to the cancer cells then release the drug into the cancer tumor or cells.

As the development of dual-ion batteries (DIBs) is limited by the capacity of anions intercalation, we put forward an innovative design idea of DIB. Compared with the traditional graphite cathodes, few-layered reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has a large specific surface area and can greatly improve the utilization ratio of carbon layers for fast redox reaction process. In addition, the carbon paper current collector with porous network structure facilitates the uniform distribution of active materials, rapid penetration of electrolyte and fast migration of ions, and also relieves the volume strain caused by PF6− intercalation/de-intercalation. Under the effects of the above two aspects, the lithium-rGO DIB demonstrates significantly enhanced electrochemical performance compared with conventional DIBs. It possesses an ultra-high discharge capacity of 405 mA h g−1 with a coulombic efficiency of > 98% after 1000 cycles at 1 A g−1 in the voltage range of 3.0–5.0 V. The detailed mechanism of electrochemical performance enhancement is also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AEROGELS ,FOURIER transform infrared spectroscopy ,CELLULOSE fibers ,WASTE paper ,YOUNG'S modulus - Abstract
A facile and cost-effective modified sol–gel synthesis is employed to synthesize flexible silica-cellulose hybrid aerogels (SCHA) using recycled cellulose fibers (RCF). The effect of cellulose fiber concentrations and ambient temperature conditions on the thermal, acoustic, and oil absorption characteristics was quantified comprehensively. The experiments were conducted by considering the range of weight fractions from 1–4 wt.% from waste tissue paper with a cross-linker and tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) as silica precursors. The SCHA aerogels were modified by a silylating agent with surface hydroxyl groups to achieve superhydrophobic behavior with a water contact angle (WCA) as high as 168°. The synthesized aerogels were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Test (BET) to identify the physical morphology. An excellent oil absorption capacity of 24.8 g.g
−1 was also noticed with 4 wt.% of cellulose concentration in hybrid aerogel retained up to 5 cycles with an absorption capacity of 6.4 g.g−1 . The average thermal conductivity of hybrid aerogels was estimated in the range of 0.038–0.032 W/m K. Slight enhancement in the thermal conductivity is noted with the increase in wt.% of cellulose to the silica aerogel. However, about 40–50 °C improvement in thermal degradability (as concluded from Thermogravimetric Analysis) with a minimum weight loss was observed in hybrid aerogel over cellulose aerogel. A comparatively high sound absorption coefficient of 0.453–0.628 at low frequency (1500 Hz) and 0.86–0.94 at high frequency (3600 Hz) was achieved with an average thickness of 8 mm compared to cellulose aerogel. The compressive Young's modulus of hybrid aerogels was also enhanced by 94.12%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Twinning is an important deformation mechanism for magnesium alloys, which has a significant impact on the texture evolution and mechanical properties. Pre-twinning deformation has been considered as an effective method for texture regulation. For each twinning mode, there are six crystallographically equivalent variants. Properly identifying the activated twin and understanding its variant selection criteria are essential for the development of high-performance magnesium alloys. As summarized in this paper, the observed twin variant by the commonly employed electron backscatter diffraction technique can be identified by several approaches, including misorientation analysis, trace analysis and matrix method. Schmid factor analysis was commonly performed to explain the selection of twin variants. To broaden the application scope under complex stress state, a generalized Schmid factor was derived by introducing a stress tensor. The efficiency of Schmid criteria to assess twin variant selection was confirmed to be influenced by the type of the applied stress. To consider the local effect on twin activation, in particular twin-twin transfer and slip-induced twinning, displacement gradient tensor calculation and geometrical compatibility factor analysis have been employed. It was demonstrated that local strain accommodation played a critical role in selecting the variants of cross-boundary twins in magnesium alloys. Assisted with crystal plasticity finite element modeling, the resolved shear stress on twinning and a composite Schmid factor combining the global Schmid factor and geometrical compatibility factor were obtained to better explain the activated twin variants in magnesium alloys. All the above-mentioned Schmid law based criteria and some energy based criteria as well are summarized in this paper. Their applications in evaluating twin variant selection in magnesium alloys are critically reviewed and discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Microalloying has been an important method in aluminum alloy development for decades. Large number of papers have shown that the addition of trace element Erbium (Er) can effectively improve the comprehensive properties of aluminum alloys. Similar with the trace element Scandium (Sc), addition of trace element Er in aluminum alloys could form nano-sized L12-ordered Al3Er precipitates, which was coherent with the Al matrix. However, the dispersion precipitation strengthening effect of Al3Er was more significant than that of Al3Sc, at the same atomic content. In the case of the addition of both Er and Zr, core–shell-structured Al3(Er, Zr) precipitates formed instead of Al3Er precipitates. Those thermally-stable nanosized precipitates could significantly refine the grain size, retard the recrystallization, improve the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. This paper reviewed several typical Er-containing microalloyed commercial aluminum alloys, like 2xxx (Al–Cu) alloys, 4xxx (Al–Si) alloys, 5xxx (Al–Mg) alloys, 7xxx (Al–Zn–Mg–Cu) alloys, as well as selective laser melting aluminum alloys.

Two-dimensional materials with unique properties have received much attention in recent years. Current research is exploring their potential applications in various fields. Acoustic topological insulators have been an emerging branch in the field of acoustic metamaterials in recent years. Its strong unidirectional transmission capability has potential applications in acoustic sensors, filters, and beamwaves. However, to realize a wide range of applications of acoustic topological materials, it is necessary to solve the problems of multi-band and wide bandgap. To this end, this paper proposes a jointly resonant acoustic topological insulator structure. The structure achieves multi-band filtering, and three filterable bandgaps can be obtained below 6200 Hz. Meanwhile, the total width of the three filterable bandgaps accounts for 65.5% at 6200 Hz and below. In this paper, the band structure is obtained by using the method of finite element simulation. The generation of topological phase transition induced by the rotation angle of the scatterer is analyzed. The pseudo-spin case of the valley hall effect is also analyzed from the point of view of acoustic energy flow, and the existence of edge states is verified. Finally, the unidirectional transport properties possessing backward scattering immunity are verified. The multi-band structure with a great bandwidth means that this work will have great potential for applications in filters. Also, since acoustic topologies based on the Valley hall effect do not possess strong defect immunity, this work proposes to utilize defect states as acoustic switches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the development of society and technology, machinery and equipment have enhanced our work efficiency but have also introduced various hazards, such as electromagnetic radiation, medical, industrial, and agricultural rays. The harms these radiations inflict on human health are significant, with severe cases leading to cancer, disability, or even life-threatening situations. Therefore, effective protective measures in some fields are crucial. This paper firstly summarized the basic principles of radiation protection for different rays, then systematically introduced the widely used manufacturing methods for flexible radiation shielding materials, including weaving with metal fibers, fiber blending, silver-plated fibers, and so on. Subsequently, the paper reviewed the testing methods of radiation-protective clothing materials. Finally, it comprehensively concluded the discussions on flexible radiation shielding materials and offered a perspective on their future development trends. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Due to increased environmental awareness, the depletion of fossil fuels, and expanding ecological concerns, today's society has a larger need for environmentally friendly materials. The idea of sustainable development of environmental material resources with enhanced economic activities was born from the rise in ecological consciousness. The textile industry generates enormous amounts of cotton waste. The environmental impact of disposing of this cotton waste makes it difficult for the textile sector to dispose of the vast amounts of produced cotton waste. As a result, all-cellulose composites (ACCs) have piqued the interest of researchers in recent years. All-cellulose composites are cellulose-based mono-component cellulose composites in which the reinforcing phase is typically composed of high-strength cellulose fibres, and the matrix is composed of regenerated cellulose. This composite type is distinguished by its exceptional interfacial compatibility and biodegradability due to the matrix and reinforcing phase having common cellulosic compositions. ACCs will become a more alluring option as enterprises prioritize sustainability and environmental responsibility because they can be recycled and reused rapidly and simply. This will contribute to less waste and enhance the overall sustainability of our society. This review paper discusses various methods to develop ACCs, textile waste-based thermoset and thermoplastic composites and textile waste-based cellulose composites (TWCCs). This review paper emphasizes approaches to develop TWCCs and the challenges and opportunities in TWCCs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are widely used to reinforce and repair buildings due to their high strength, corrosion resistance, lightweight, and convenient of construction. The interfacial properties between FRP and the reinforced buildings play a very important role in the effective transfer of stress and largely determine the service hours of the reinforced structures. Therefore, this paper reviews the research progress on the interfacial properties of FRP reinforced concrete. First, the composition of FRP reinforcement system is introduced. EB-FRP and NSM-FRP reinforcement methods are suitable for reinforcing different buildings. Then, the influence factors of the interfacial properties are highlighted. The choice of interfacial agent, roughness of the reinforced concrete surface, temperature and environment have very important impact on the reinforcement effect. Finally, the main damage modes and failure mechanisms of the interface between FRP and the reinforced concrete are summarized. The choice of the interfacial agent determines the main failure mode. This paper provides a theoretical basis for the further research on the interface damage mechanism of FRP reinforced concrete. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose. High-fidelity mannequins are increasingly used to train the medical staff on many medical procedures. Lately, a new challenge regarding echogenic materials to build ultrasound-responding phantoms has emerged. The challenge is to find materials with a suitable combination of ultrasound velocity and consistency to the touch. Methods. Bibliographic research was performed to identify materials with promising stiffness, shape retention, and ultrasound velocity combinations. As-standardized-as-possible specimens were realized and tested using an A-mode ultrasound machine to evaluate the US velocity through them. Four differently doped silicones, five gelatin-based materials, five synthetic gelatins, and a 3D printable resin were included in the study. After being tested, the materials were monitored for 12 days to assess their durability and shape retention and tested again to evaluate the ultrasound velocity's stability. In the paper, the results of the characterization and follow-up of the materials are presented. Results. Outcomes show that gelatins are exceptional soft tissue-mimicking materials in terms of ultrasound velocity and consistency to the touch, but are poor in terms of overtime stability and therefore suitable for disposable short-term phantoms only. Doped silicones present lower ultrasound velocity compared to the reference value of 1540 m/s found in the literature, but excellent overtime stability, and shape retention properties. Values close to biological ones were also given by the Elastic 50A and by polyvinyl chloride plastisol. Conclusion. The paper gives a quantitative overview of the fidelity of both already-in-use and non-conventional materials, focusing on the ultrasound velocity value through them and their longevity in terms of macroscopically observed dehydration, shape retention, and bacterial onset.

ZnZrOx has been used in large quantities for the preparation of light olefins from CO2, but the relationship between structure and performance remains unclear at present. In this paper, ZnZrOx were prepared by co-precipitation method, and a series of oxides with different sizes were prepared by varying the calcination temperatures. Subsequently, these oxides were combined with SAPO-34 to create a composite bifunctional catalyst for the synthesis of light olefins by CO2 hydrogenation, in which the impact of nanocrystal size effect was examined. The catalytic performance significantly increased as the nanocrystal size reduced from 18 to 12 nm. However, when the nanocrystal size was further decreased to 8 nm, the catalytic performance decline. Characterizations revealed a gradual increase in the number of oxygen vacancies with decreasing nanocrystal size. However, the oxide with the smallest nanocrystal size, prepared by varied calcination temperatures, did not yield the optimal catalytic performance due to sintering occurring during the reaction process. The results show that the assumption that smaller nanocrystal sizes inherently equate to improved catalytic performance is not universally valid, and stability must be considered when the nanocrystal size is decreased. The bifunctional catalysts used in this paper for the prepared light olefins from CO2 in yield as high as 13.8%, which is higher than most previous reports. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently, papers with superhydrophobic surfaces and unique antibacterial and self-cleaning capabilities have attracted great attention due to its potential applications in cold chain logistics packaging. Therefore, a facile and versatile route to fabricate superhydrophobic and anti-bacterial adhesion dual-functional paper was reported. The approach was based on pufferfish-like structured ZIF-8 incorporated cellulose fibers. Specifically, cellulose fibers without any chemical pretreatment were used as templates for the in situ aqueous construction of pufferfish-like structured ZIF-8 with zinc nitrate as zinc source and dimethylimidazole as organic ligand. After paper-making and hydrophobicity treatment, the obtained paper possessed excellent superhydrophobic and anti-bacterial adhesion properties. These surfaces retained their water resistance after 30 finger-wipe cycles and 10 sandpaper abrasions. Moreover, the hydrophobic surface prepared also showed excellent anti-adhesion performance toward bacteria. This strategy route proposed here can significantly reduce or eliminate potential risks associated with various contamination. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a pure biopolymer with abundant sources. BC has been used in wound dressings, artificial blood vessels, bone tissue engineering, and other applications because of its microporosity, superior water retention, thermal stability, and biocompatibility. The tensile strength of pure BC in wet state is weak, and the water holding capacity is above 90%, which limits its application. However, the mechanical properties of dehydrated BC are excellent at the expense of toughness, which is not enough to meet the demand of high additional-value materials, such as high strength flexible electronic device substrate, wearable electronic devices, vibration film for microphone and earphone, and others. Therefore, it is of great importance to systematically investigate the strategies to improve the mechanical properties of BC. Herein, this paper demonstrates the intrinsic factors affecting the mechanical properties of BC, along with the strategies to enhance the mechanical properties. Compared with the well-known adhesion reinforcement and chemical modification, six strategies to enhance the mechanical properties were discussed thoroughly in this paper. In addition, layer-by-layer self-assembly and orderly arrangement of fibrils are proposed in this paper to improve the mechanical properties of BC, which have not been described in detail in previous literature.

The field of tissue engineering involves various methodologies employed to improve or replace biological tissues with extracellular matrices (ECMs). Significant progress has been made, particularly in the fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds for replacing damaged tissues or organs. The current review broadly focuses on the various research works carried out involving the use of biomaterials (biopolymers, bio-ceramics and dopants) in this area. A detailed discussion on several scaffold-making modern technologies has also been provided, along with a demonstration of different characterization techniques. Though a number of review papers have been published on biomaterials and fabrication techniques, a very small number focuses on the clinical trials carried out and the commercialization of scaffolds in the biomedical field. Thus, a critical analysis and detailed discussion of some of the clinical trials, market growth, and future demands have been presented in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) require efficient water management. Microporous layers (MPLs) are crucial to solve this problem due to their positive effects on the two-phase mass transfer process. The performance of MPLs is mainly determined by the properties of the materials used for their construction as well as other basic transport properties, including morphology, porous structure, wettability, and electrical resistivity. In this study, graphite and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) were used as the main components to fabricate MPLs for use in PEMFCs because they are highly conductive and thermally efficient. Single-layer MPLs are prepared by compressing MPL powders with different proportions of ingredients. In contrast, two-layer gas diffusion layers were fabricated by applying MPL pastes to a benchmark Toray carbon paper using a screen-printing process. FTIR and XRD analysis of main components and some samples are performed to investigated functional groups and the nature of MPLs' surface, respectively. An analysis of the effects of graphite, rGO, and hydrophobic agents' constituents on the physical properties (electrical resistivity, contact angle, roughness, porosity, and permeability) of the fabricated MPL or MPL-coated carbon papers by screen-printing method has been performed. Also, the effect of different coating methods (screen-printing and spraying) on different properties of graphite-based and rGO-based MPLs has been investigated. The results show that composites based on rGO have higher electrical resistivity than that of graphite-based MPLs, but lower roughness. However, MPLs based on rGO exhibit better contact angle, higher porosity, and improved gas permeability. Moreover, as expected, the contact angle and electrical resistivity increase, while the porosity and permeability decrease when the hydrophobic agents (polytetrafluoroethylene, and polyvinylidene difluoride) which are also used as binders, are increased. On the other hand, screen printed graphite-based MPL has lower electrical resistivity, while screen printed rGO-based MPL has higher porosity percentage, roughness, and permeability than the sprayed one.

- Abstract
Acylhydrazone bonds can participate in dynamic exchange reactions under acid-stimulated conditions, and disulfide bonds can participate in dynamic exchange reactions under thermally stimulated conditions. It is of great significance to prepare epoxy vitrimer that can rapidly self-repair under acid and thermal stimulation conditions. In this paper, vanillin was used as raw material, and monomer (VAN-AD) containing acylhydrazone bond was synthesized by reaction with adipic dihydrazide. Then, VAN-AD and 4-aminophenyl disulfide (SS) were cured together with glycerol triglycidyl ether to prepare an epoxy vitrimer with acylhydrazone and disulfide dual dynamic covalent bonds. Where VAN-AD provides some of the flexible chain segments and acylhydrazone bonds and SS provides the aromatic phenyl and disulfide bonds. The material was prepared in a simple process and under mild condition, and the properties of the material were optimized by changing the ratio of VAN-AD to SS. The Tg of the material was 50 °C when the ratio of SS was the highest, the thermal stability was enhanced with the increase of the ratio of SS, and the maximum tensile strength up to 50.9 MPa, and the material can be completely degraded by DMF with 5% HCl. It is worth noting that the material shows rapid self-healing properties under acid-heat conditions, self-healing rates up to 97.37%, and the tensile strength can reach 26 MPa after repair. The material can be successfully remodeled by hot pressing for 1 h at 140 °C and 10 MPa. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Graphene, due to its unique zero-bandgap, single-layer structure, and outstanding properties, has attracted more than a decade of research interests. In the upstream of graphene research, laser manufacturing with high-energy density, non-contact nature, and efficiency has been extensively investigated by numerous scholars for the purpose of fabricating or manipulating graphene. Downstream in the application domain, graphene demonstrates substantial practical applications across sectors such as energy, heat dissipation, medicine, and sensors. While there exist reviews on both the upstream synthesis and downstream applications of graphene, a comprehensive overview specifically focusing on the interaction between lasers and graphene and their implications in the sensing field is currently lacking. This paper addresses this gap by summarizing various methods of preparing graphene such as laser direct writing, laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition, and laser reduction of graphene oxide and reviews the applications of these methods in the field of sensors. This review presents an outlook on the promising future of graphene-based sensing technology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Modification of the surfaces of polymeric scaffolds is often required to make the material suitable for specific tissue engineering applications. Physico-chemical properties of scaffolds can be altered using various methods, such as plasma treatment, laser processing, chemical modifications, grafting with nanoparticles, or surface coating. In this paper physico-chemical modification of polycaprolactone (PCL) surface fibers was performed by exposing PCL samples to simultaneous soft X-ray/extreme ultraviolet (SXR/EUV) radiation and low-temperature, SXR/EUV-induced, nitrogen, and oxygen plasmas. The physical and chemical changes on modified PCL surfaces were examined using a scanning electron microscope and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively. The effects of physico-chemical scaffold surface changes were verified with biological tests, i.e., MTT assay and immunofluorescence on murine osteoblast cell line (7F2). It was found that exposure of scaffolds to ionizing radiation and low-temperature plasmas induced strong chemical changes on their surface, i.e., appearance of various new chemical groups. Also, smoothing of the surface of PCL fibers, i.e., disappearance or significant reduction of the size of micropores on their fibers was also observed. Increased viability and adhesion of 7F2 osteoblasts on modified PCL samples after 24 h cell culture compared to non-treated PCL was also confirmed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The ordered γ′-(Ni, Cu)3Al is a crucial strengthening phase that improves the high-temperature resistance of Cu-based alloys, so it is important to predict the kinetic evolution of the composition and microstructure of the phase for high-temperature applications. Herein, this paper discusses the temporal evolution of the composition and coarsening of the γ′ phase in a model ternary Cu50Ni37.5Al12.5 (at%) alloy during isothermal aging at 600, 700, 800, and 900 °C for 1–36 h. It is found that the γ′ phase composition evolves linearly toward a binary γ′ phase as the aging time increases during the process of aging at 800 and 900 °C, which cannot be predicted by the ternary phase diagrams alone. Meanwhile, through the utilization of the aforementioned linear law, the γ phase composition can be predicted at a given temperature within the alloy by determining the volume fraction of the γ′ phase. Additionally, the activation energy for coarsening decreases, and the coarsening rate of the γ′ phase increases owing to the higher diffusion rate of Cu at high temperatures. The addition of microalloying elements with strong enthalpic interactions is beneficial for reinforcing the structural stability of the γ′ phase. This work provides a simple method for the compositional analysis and performance prediction of Cu–Ni–Al alloys at elevated temperatures and sheds light on the subsequent compositional design and optimization of Cu-based high-temperature alloys.

- Abstract
CeO2 has high elastic modulus and thermal stability, as well as good surface effects, making it ideal as a reinforcement for aluminum matrix composites. In this paper, the interfacial relationships between Al and CeO2 was studied by first-principles calculation, and the nucleation mechanism of aluminum matrix growth on CeO2 substrate was discussed. First, the Al/CeO2 interface matching crystal surface was identified as the Al(111)/CeO2(111) interface. Then, the surface work function was calculated for all surfaces constituting the Al(111)/CeO2(111) interface, and the results showed that the Al(111) loses charge more easily than CeO2(111). Subsequently, the interface energy and work of adhesion of the Al(111)/CeO2(111) interface were calculated, and the results showed that the interface energy of O1–Al was the smallest (0.07 J/m2), the work of adhesion of O2 interface energy of O1–Al was the smallest (0.07 J/m2), the work of adhesion of O2–Al was the largest (9.36 J/m2)Al was the largest (9.36 J/m2). Finally, the combined properties of the Al(111)/CeO2(111) interface were analyzed by the electronic properties at the interface, and the results showed that The Al(111)/CeO2(111) interface is a mixture of ionic and covalent bonds. Therefore, the calculated results confirm that the effectiveness of CeO2 as a heterogeneous nucleation substrate for Al. This study provides a theoretical basis for the nucleation mechanism of the heterogeneous nucleation interface between CeO2 and aluminum matrix. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Microalloying is an effective method to regulate the mechanical properties of deposited metal. In this paper, ERNiMo-2 deposited metals with different Si content were prepared. The influence of Si element and thermal exposure treatment on microstructure evolution and high-temperature mechanical properties of ERNiMo-2 deposited metal was investigated. The results show that the size and distribution density of eutectic carbides increased significantly with the addition of Si while more M2C nano-sized carbide particles were observed around the eutectic carbide. Thermal exposure treatment hardly influence the size and distribution of the eutectic carbides, but significantly promote the formation of nano-sized carbide particles. The tensile results at 700 °C show that the density of precipitated carbides and the yield strength of deposited metal increased significantly with the increase of Si content. The thermal exposure would soften the deposited metal because of the obvious decrease of dislocation density and the unobvious strengthening effect from nano-sized carbide particles. The research results are significant for optimizing the composition of ERNiMo-2 welding wire and improving the mechanical performance of welded components. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
In this paper, the initiation of interfacial damage in SnPb alloy was investigated at the atomic scale through molecular dynamics simulations. The focus was primarily on the structural stability of the Sn/Pb interface with different orientations, the formation energies of vacancies in different Sn/Pb interfaces, and the short-range interactions between dislocations and the Sn/Pb interface. The results revealed a correlation between the interfacial energies of all four Sn/Pb interfaces and the disorder of Sn and Pb atoms near the interface, where a more regular atomic arrangement resulted in lower interfacial energy. The vacancy formation energies near the Sn/Pb interfaces varied depending on the interface type, although all types contributed to reducing these energies. Furthermore, the Sn/Pb interface acts as a barrier to dislocations in both Pb and β-Sn phases, while leading to the cross-slip of screw dislocations in the Pb phase. Edge dislocations in the β-Sn phase induce significant strain localization at the interface, initiating interfacial damage and crack nucleation. These findings are highly significant for understanding damage mechanisms in SnPb alloy and advancing high-performance solder development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
