Nanofiber Alignment

The presence of nanoscale cellulosic fiber; namely cellulose nanofiber, increases year by year because the mechanical and physical properties are believed to be comparable to those of common glass fibers. On the other hand, most of the reported strength data for the cellulose nanofiber-reinforced polymeric composite materials was not as high as expected. In order to obtain high-strength cellulose nanofiber-reinforced polymer composites, we tried to optimize the fiber orientation of cellulose nanofibers in poly (vinyl alcohol)-based polymer matrix by using a repeated mechanical stretching treatment. The fiber orientation of cellulose nanofibers in the poly (vinyl alcohol) matrix can be modified by changing the total amount of stretching strain applied during the multiple stretching treatments. The degree of fiber alignment was directly evaluated by observing the cellulose nanofibers on the sample surface with a digital microscope. The efficacy of proposed nanofiber alignment control has been explored experimentally and theoretically. The tensile strength and modulus of the cellulosic nanocomposites after applying the multiple stretching treatments increased by approximately 80% and 40% respectively, as compared with those of the untreated nanocomposites.

Abstract As is well known, silicate glass has a stable glass-forming region and mature drawing processes into fibers. In this study, to obtain enhanced mechanical properties, glasses with a composition of SiO2-Al2O3-MgO-CaO-B2O3-Fe2O3 were synthesized using TiO2 and CeO2. When the amount of TiO2 and CeO2 is less than 2 wt%, the mechanical properties increase with increases in the TiO2 and CeO2. However, as the amount of TiO2 and CeO2 increases from 2 to 3.5 wt%, the mechanical properties decrease. Co-doping with 1 wt% TiO2 and 1 wt% CeO2 was found to be the optimum approach, with a density, bending strength, compression strength, and compression modulus of 2.626 g/cm3, 108.36 MPa, 240.18 MPa, and 115.03 GPa, respectively. The optical band gap and Raman spectroscopy proved that, as long as the content of oxygen bonds reaches the maximum level, a kind of best structural stability and mechanical properties will be achieved. Hence, this type of high-strength silicate glass can be used in optical fibers for military defense, wind power generation, and transportation.

Alloy Steels

The Naval Sea Systems Command has recently certified a lower-cost alternative steel to the HY-80 steel presently used in construction of naval surface ships. This alternative steel is based on the commercial development of high strength low alloy (HSLA) steels originally directed to the offshore oil exploration platform and gas line transmission industries. The certification is a result of an ongoing research and development program begun in 1980. This paper addresses several aspects of the HSLA steel development effort, including a discussion of the properties and metallurgy of this steel, and the cost savings which are achievable. Finally, the status of the current and planned Navy HSLA usage and the R&D program is described.

AbstractA MEMS-based gas turbine engine is being developed for use as a button-sized portable power generator or micro-aircraft propulsion source. Power densities expected for the micro- engine require high combustor exit temperatures (1300-1700K) and very high rotor peripheral speeds (300-600m/s). These harsh operating conditions induce high stress levels in the engine structure, and thus require refractory materials with high strength. Silicon carbide has been chosen as the most promising material for use in the near future due to its high strength and chemical inertness at elevated temperatures. However, techniques for microfabricating single- crystal silicon carbide to the level of high precision needed for the micro-engine are not currently available. To circumvent this limitation and to take advantage of the well-established precise silicon microfabrication technologies, silicon-silicon carbide (SiC) hybrid turbine structures are being developed using chemical vapor deposition of poly-SiC on silicon wafers and wafer bonding processes. Residual stress control of SiC coatings is of critical importance to all the silicon-silicon carbide hybrid structure fabrication steps since a high level of residual stresses causes wafer cracking during the planarization, as well as excessive wafer bow, which is detrimental to the subsequent planarization and bonding processes. The origins of the residual stresses in CVD SiC layers have been studied. SiC layers (as thick as 30µm) with low residual stresses (on the order of several tens of MPa) have been produced by controlling CVD process parameters such as temperature and gas ratio. Wafer-level SiC planarization has been accomplished by mechanical polishing using diamond grit and bonding processes are currently under development using interlayer materials such as silicon dioxide or poly-silicon. These process development efforts will be reviewed in the context of the overall micro-engine development program.

Main Factor

This paper presents an experimental study on the development of biocomposite material by using sawdust (SD) and rice husk (RH). The use of composite in the present production has increased dramatically since the 1970’s. Traditional material like aluminum, steel, iron and copper etc. may be easily replaced by using this classical biocomposites. The tensile test, hardness and tear resistance test were conducted in a Universal testing machine as per ASTM D638, ASTM D2240 and ASTM D1004 standard, respectively. Although commercial industries have increasingly been concerned with the low cost, light weight and eco-friendly material, the biocomposite material has also a great potential for reduced production cost and low maintenance which have proven to be a main factor in a push towards recycled biocomposites. In this paper we have fabricated a biocomposite model from materials like sawdust, rice husk. The main reason to use biocomposites is that they are more economical and have high strength to weight ratio compared to glass fibers. Hence fabricated material can be used for various applications.
