Abstract The microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of hot rolled Mg-12Gd-1Zn-0.5Zr-0.5Ag (in wt.%) (MGZKA) alloys, with and without Al and Li additions, were investigated in this study. The Al and Li-containing alloys achieved excellent overall mechanical properties, especially MGZKA-6Al5Li alloy with a high elastic modulus of 52.2 GPa and a good plasticity of 15%. Compared with Al and Li-free MGZKA alloy, the fragmented Al2Gd and nanoscale Al2Li3 phases with high modulus are observed in Al and Li-containing MGZKA-4Al3Li and MGZKA-6Al5Li alloys, which contribute to the overall elastic modulus of the alloys. The dynamic recrystallization regions of Al and Li-containing alloys increased while c/a ratio reduced, leading to the weakened texture. The activation of non-basal slip in Al and Li-containing alloys is closely related to the fine grains and weakened texture, which jointly promote the plasticity of Al and Li-containing alloys.

In this work, the cross-linking density and frequency sweep, temperature sweep of NR dried by microwave were tested by using nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (NMR) and rubber process analyzer (RPA), respectively. And the test results were compared with those of NR dried by hot-air. The results showed that the cross-linking density and A(Mc) for NR dried by microwave were bigger than those for NR dried by hot-air, but the A(T2) of latter was bigger; the frequency sweep results showed that the elastic modulus of NR dried by hot-air increased slower with the increase of frequency than those of NR dried by microwave , and the tanδ of NR dried by hot-air decreased with the increase of frequency slower than those of NR dried by microwave in low frequency phase, respectively; the temperature sweep results showed that the elastic modulus of NR dried by hot air were smaller compared with those of NR dried by microwave in the entire scanning process, but, the tanδ value of former was bigger.

AbstractReactive molecular additives have often been employed to tailor the mechanical properties of epoxy resins. In addition, several studies have reported improved electrical properties in such systems, where the network architecture and included function groups have been modified through the use of so-called functional network modifier (FNM) molecules. The study reported here set out to investigate the effect of a glycidyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (GPOSS) FNM on the cross-linking reactions, glass transition, breakdown strength and dielectric properties of an amine-cured epoxy resin system. Since many previous studies have considered POSS to act as an inorganic filler, a key aim was to consider the impact of GPOSS addition on the stoichiometry of curing. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed significant changes in the cross-linking reactions that occur if appropriate stoichiometric compensation is not made for the additional epoxide groups present on the GPOSS. These changes, in concert with the direct effect of the GPOSS itself, influence the glass transition temperature, dielectric breakdown behaviour and dielectric response of the system. Specifically, the work shows that the inclusion of GPOSS can result in beneficial changes in electrical properties, but that these gains are easily lost if consequential changes in the matrix polymer are not appropriately counteracted. Nevertheless, if the system is appropriately optimized, materials with pronounced improvements in technologically important characteristics can be designed.

Polymer–clay mineral composites are an important class of materials with various applications in the industry. Despite interesting properties of polysiloxanes, such matrices were rarely used in combination with clay minerals. Thus, for the first time, a systematic study was designed to investigate the cross-linking efficiency of polysiloxane networks in the presence of 2 wt % of organo-montmorillonite. Montmorillonite (Mt) was intercalated with six quaternary ammonium salts of the cation structure [(CH3)2R’NR]+, where R = C12, C14, C16, and R’ = methyl or benzyl substituent. The intercalation efficiency was examined by X-ray diffraction, CHN elemental analysis, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Textural studies have shown that the application of freezing in liquid nitrogen and freeze-drying after the intercalation increases the specific surface area and the total pore volume of organo-Mt. The polymer matrix was a poly(methylhydrosiloxane) cross-linked with two linear vinylsiloxanes of different siloxane chain lengths between end functional groups. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy studies have shown that the increase in d-spacing of organo-Mt and the benzyl substituent influence the degree of nanofillers’ exfoliation in the nanocomposites. The increase in the degree of organo-Mt exfoliation reduces the efficiency of hydrosilylation reaction monitored by FTIR. This was due to physical hindrance induced by exfoliated Mt particles.
