    Wen-zhong ZHANG, Xiao-lan CAI, Lei ZHOU, Zi-yang WANG. CNTs Modified and Enhanced Cu Matrix Composites[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2016, 44(12): 1-6.

    The composite powders of 2%-CNTs were prepared by wet ball milling and hydrogen annealing treatment-cold pressing sintering was used to consolidate the ball milled composite powders with different modifications of the CNTs. The results show that the length of the CNTs is shortened, ports are open, and amorphous carbon content is increased by ball milling. And after a mixed acid purification, the impurity on the surface of the CNTs is completely removed,and a large number of oxygen-containing reactive groups are introduced; the most of CNTs can be embedded in the Cu matrix and the CNTs have a close bonding with the Cu matrix, forming the lamellar composite structure, then, ultrafine-grained composite powders can be obtained by hydrogen annealing treatment. Shortening and purification of the CNTs are both good for dispersion and bonding of CNTs in the Cu matrix, and the tensile strength and hardness of the composites after shortening and purification reaches the highest, and is 296MPa and 139.8HV respectively, compared to the matrix, up to 123.6% in tensile strength and 42.9% in hardness, attributed to the fine grain strengthening and load transferring.

    Yan-hua SHI, Shan-lin ZHAO, Ping LIANG, Ling WANG, Xue-lei GUAN. Effect of pH Value on Structure and Properties of Anodic Electrodeposited Mn-Mo Oxide[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2016, 44(12): 7-12.

    By correction to the thermodynamic calculation based on E0-pH diagram of MnSO4-SO42--H2O plating system, effective pH value range for anodic electrodeposition of MnO2 phase structure materials got clear, at 363K, with Mn2+ concentration 0.2mol·dm-3. The influence law of the pH values was also obtained based on the characterization of the oxide structure and test of its electrochemical performance. The results show that pH value in the 0.33-3.4 range, with its increase and accordingly the conducive to the effective deposition of MnO2 type Mn-Mo oxide. However, although with pH value increasing, deposition efficiency improves, the coating quality gets degraded, especially making the electrocatalytic performance of the oxide obviously deteriorated. It also shows that with pH value of plating solution 0.5, obtained Mn-Mo oxide has excellent coating quality and high electrocatalytic activity. The reason is closely related to competition in oxygen evolution reaction during the preparation of the oxide. When pH value is small, oxygen evolution reaction competition causes the solid-liquid interface stirring, the dendritic growth of oxide gets inhabited and the diffusion layer gets thinning, which promotes the nucleation of oxide on the electrode micro-surface and makes grain refined, so as to improves the electrocatalytic performance of oxide.

    Hong-wei YAO, Sheng-gen ZHONG, Xian-hua LI, Lei CHEN, Zhi-wei XU, Hui DENG. Strengthening Interface Transition Layer of Carbon Fiber/Epoxy Composites with CNTs and Its Effect on Interfacial Performance[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2016, 44(12): 13-21.

    The sizing treatments were used to introduce carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to carbon fiber (CF) surfaces for fabrication of CF/CNTs/epoxy multi-scale composites. Comparing with the base composites without CNTs, interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and flexural strength of the modified composites were increased by 13.54% and 12.88%, respectively. Force modulation atomic force microscope and linear scanning system of scanning electron microscope were carried out to analyze the microstructure of composite interface. The results indicate that a transition layer reinforced by CNTs is constructed between fiber and epoxy (EP) matrix, which has certain thickness and exhibits gradient distribution of modulus and carbon element content. The composites containing CNTs are sonicated before curing to disperse CNTs in the surrounding resin. As a result, the interface transition layer is weakened and the ILSS and flexural strength of prepared composites decrease by 7.33% and 5.34%, respectively. Therefore, the significant role of the interface transition layer in improving the interfacial performance of composites is evidenced again at another perspective.

    HZSM-5 supported SrTiO3 was prepared using sol-gel method. The materials were characterized by XRD, SEM, BET, BJH and FT-IR measurements. The activity of photocatalytic degradation of reactive brilliant red X-3B was studied on SrTiO3/HZSM-5. The results show that SrTiO3 material is mainly composed of perovskite SrTiO3, as well as a small amount of SrCO3 phase. SrTiO3 is coated on the external surface of HZSM-5 in the χSrTiO3/HZSM-5. The specific surface area of the supported materials is mainly provided by the zeolite, while pore size in the materials is mainly in the range between 2-20nm. Photocatalytic activity of SrTiO3 is obviously enhanced after being supported, and the 30%SrTiO3/HZSM-5 has the maximum activity. 93.8% of reactive brilliant red X-3B can be degraded on 30%SrTiO3/HZSM-5 after 90 minites irradiation, while only 23.9% of the dye can be degraded on pure SrTiO3.

    To obtain a superhydrophobic aluminum alloy surface, a kind of special coupling structure was fabricated on the aluminum alloy surface by a couple ways which was electro-brush plating combined with laser processing. The surface has excellent anti-adhesion and corrosion resistance property. The contact angle can reach as high as 155.1°, while the sliding angle less than 5.6°. The morphological feature, chemical structures, and wettability of resultant surfaces were characterized by scanning electronic microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and water contact angle measurements.

The results show that surface consists of micro-scale grooves and like-cauliflower mastoids, the grooves in a regular arrangement with mastoid structures for a coupling structure on the surface. The special coupling structure makes the surface already have superhydrophobicity. The wettability of the surface changes from hydrophilicity to superhydrophobicity. There have no peaks from other phases can be detected between electro-brush plating surface and aluminum alloy substrates. The peak intensity is changed by laser processing, and the organization structure of the material is further refined.

    ZnO nanorods and RGO/ZnO nanorods composites were prepared by hydrothermal method. The influence of RGO content on the photocatalytic activity of RGO/ZnO nanorods composites was studied. ZnO nanorods and RGO/ZnO nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and diffuse reflectance UV-visible absorption spectroscopy techniques. The results show that RGO/ZnO samples are synthesized successfully. With different additions of GO, the RGO/ZnO samples obtained exhibit different absorption characteristics in visible light region. The photocatalytic results of using methyl orange (MO) as the simulated pollutant show that RGO/ZnO nanorods composites exhibit high degradation efficiency under UV-Vis light illumination. The highest photocatalytic performance is obtained for RGO/ZnO composites when the mass ratio of RGO to ZnO is 3%. MO is almost completely degraded in 120min. RGO/ZnO also shows the visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity under visible light illumination (λ>400nm), and the maximum MO degradation efficiency in 180min can reach 26.2%, meanwhile, RGO/ZnO samples exhibit good photostability.

    Peng-bo LIU, Jia-jun WANG, Lian-fang FENG, Xue-ping GU. Surface with Switchable Wettability[J]. Journal of Materials Engineering, 2016, 44(12): 118-126.

    Superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity are extreme properties of solid surface governed by surface morphology and surface chemistry. Switching between superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity can be achieved by applying external stimuli and exchanging counterions due to the change in surface morphology and/or surface chemistry. This review mainly gives a concise overview of switchable wettability of surface. Through applying external stimuli such as light, temperature, pH value, solvent, electric potential and exchanging of counterions, the wettability of surface can switch between superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity. The material with asymmetric wettability exhibits some novel abilities such as directional liquid transport. Finally, the advances of surface with switchable wettability are prospected. By controlling the micro-nano structure and chemical composition, the switch between superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity can be realized on various surfaces.
