Al-PTFE (aluminum-polytetrafluoroethene) is regarded as one of the most promising reactive materials (RMs). In this work, Ni (Nickel) was added to Al-PTFE composites for the purpose of improving the energy density and damage effect. To investigate the thermal behavior, mechanical properties and reaction characteristics of the Al-Ni-PTFE composites, an Al-PTFE mixture and an Al-Ni mixture were prepared by ultrasonic mixing. Six types of Al-Ni-PTFE specimens with different component mass ratios were prepared by molding sintering. Simultaneous thermal analysis experiments were carried out to characterize the thermal behavior of the Al-PTFE mixture and the Al-Ni mixture. Quasi-static compression tests were performed to analyze the mechanical properties and reaction characteristics of the Al-Ni-PTFE specimens. The results indicate that the reaction onset temperature of Al-Ni (582.7 °C) was similar to that of Al-PTFE (587.6 °C) and that the reaction heat of Al-Ni (991.9 J/g) was 12.5 times higher than that of Al-PTFE (79.6 J/g). With the increase of Ni content, the material changed from ductile to brittle and the strain hardening modulus and compressive strength rose first and then subsequently decreased, reaching a maximum of 51.35 MPa and 111.41 MPa respectively when the volume fraction of Ni was 10%. An exothermic reaction occurred for the specimens with a Ni volume fraction no more than 10% under quasi-static compression, accompanied by the formation of Ni-Al intermetallic compounds. In the Al-Ni-PTFE system, the reaction between Al and PTFE preceded the reaction between Al and Ni and the feasibility of increasing the energy density and damage effect of the Al-Ni-PTFE reactive material by means of Ni-Al reaction was proved.

In this work, the surface of the bamboo fibers (BF) was treated with three kinds of silane coupling agents terminated with amino functional groups (KH550), epoxy functional groups (KH560), and methyl functional groups (KH570) to improve fiber–matrix adhesion. The effects of silane treatment on the mechanical properties and thermal behavior of BF/polypropylene (PP) composites were investigated. Mechanical test results showed that the order of modification effectiveness was KH570 > KH550 > KH560. KH570 treated fiber composite exhibited the best mechanical properties. The tensile strength and flexural strength of 5 wt% KH570 treatment reached to 36.1 and 54.7 MPa, which were 15.4% and 23.6% higher than those of UBF/PP composites. Simultaneously, the thermal stability increased from 467.0°C (UBF) to 470.6°C (KH-570 treated BF). An increase in crystallization temperature (1.7°C) and a decrease in crystallinity (5.8%) occurred upon the addition of 5% KH570 silanes treated bamboo fibers.

Abstract The microstructure, thermal behavior, and mechanical properties of Sn-xZn-0.1RE (x = 5, 10, 20, and 30 wt%) alloys containing mixed trace rare earth elements were investigated in this study. The results showed that the alloys had the same solidus temperature of about 199 °C. Zinc content higher than 10% enhanced slightly the eutectic temperatures and enlarged the eutectic temperature range of the alloys. The microstructures of most of the alloys exhibited Zn-rich coarse clusters, but not for Sn-5Zn-0.1RE. The tensile strength of the alloys increased with increasing zinc concentration.
