Abstract:
The recrystallized graphite was prepared from filler of calcined coke & binder of coal-tar pitch and zirconium by the hot-pressing progress in order to investigate the effects of amount of zirconium on the thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, bending strength and microstructure of recrystallized graphite Experimental results showed that the recrystallized graphite with a amount of zirconium exhibited higher thermal conductivity, higher electrical conductivity and bending strength than the pure graphite by the same process The dopant concentration of zirconium with 6wt% might greatly decrease the electrical resistivity of recrystallized graphite, but more dopant zirconium changed electrical resistivity of recrystallized graphite a little For the high conductivity direction, the thermal conductivity of RG-Zr-12 was 410W/(m·k) Microstructural analyses revealed that the degree of graphitization of recrystallized graphite and coherence length of La increased and layers spacing of microcrystalline decreased with increasing zirconium concentration The degree of graphitization of recrystallized graphite was 97.7% and coherence length of La was 475nm when the amount of dopant zirconium was 12wt% Composition analyses indicated that zirconium added to the carbon substrate was in the form of ZrC precipitates by XRD and SEM The mechanism of the solution-precipitation using liquid solvent could be explained the catalytic mechanism of zirconium dopant servers as catalyst to accelerate the graphitization of carbon substrates.

Three kinds of montmorillonites (MMT, including S-MMT,TG-2,OLS) and one kind of short-cut glass fiber (SGF) were used to melt compounded with phenolic resin (PF), thus phenolic resin matrix composites were prepared Notch impacting and bending tests were used to study the mechanical properties and strengthening and toughening mechanism, through which some regular results were achieved Notch impact strength, bending modulus and strength of PF/NBR/SGF composites increase with the increase of the content of SGF For PF/NBR matrix montmorillonite nanocomposites, notch impact strength increase with the increase of the contents of the montmorillonites, when the content of montmorillonites reaches 5phr, the impact strength is the highest; and the bending modulus and bending strength also increase with the increases of the contents of the montomorillonites, and when the content is up to 9phr, the bending modulus and bending strength are the highest Through the comparison of the mechanical properties of the PF/NBR matrix composites, it showed that: when the content of the fillers and the experimental temperature is the same, the notch impact strength of PF/NBR/SGF composite is the highest, but the bending modulus and bending strength are the lowest; the notch impact strength of PF/NBR/OLS nanocomposites is the second one, but their bending modulus and bending strength are the highest; the notch impact strength of PF/NBR/TG-2 nanocomposities is the third one, and their bending strength and bending modulus are the second one; the notch impact strength of PF/NBR/S-MMT nanocomposities is the lowest, and the bending modulus and bending strength is the third one Secondly, for each of the PF/NBR matrix composites, when the experimental temperature is 60℃, their impact strength are the highest; when experimental temperature is higher or lower than 60℃, their impact strength lowered For PF/NBR/OLS, PF/NBR/TG-2 and PF/NBR/S-MMT nanocomposites, their mechanical properties have close relation with the space distances of montmorillonites, the greater the space distances of montmorillonites are, the better the mechanical properties world be When the content of montmorillonite is the same, the mechanical properties of the exfoliated nanocomposites are better than intercalated nanocomposite At last, montmorillonite′s toughening and strengthening mechanism was studied, and models illustrated in Fig.10 and Fig.11 are porposed.

2003, 23(1): 44-48.
Abstract:
Galvanic corrosion induced by graphite epoxy composite materials (GECM) coupled to LY12CZ and LC4CS aluminum alloys in neutral and air-saturated aqueous 3.5% NaCl solution has been investigated. The galvanic corrosion behavior was studied by continuous measurement of the galvanic current and by weight loss measurements. The slow strain rate test (SSRT) and double cantilever beam (DCB) specimens were used to evaluate the SCC of the aluminum alloys, the SSRT results showed that galvanic corrosion between GECM and LY12CZ aluminum alloy increase the LY12CZ stress corrosion crack growth rate, and reduce the crack time. In DCB stress corrosion test, the KISCC of LC4CS aluminum alloy did not change greatly in relation to the galvanic corrosion, but the date of (da/dt)Ⅱ was increased a little by GECM. The mechanism and performance responsible for SCC of aluminum alloy affected by galvanic corrosion were also discussed.
