The main objective of this article is to develop a high wear resistance carbon fibre (CF)-reinforced polyether ether ketone composite with the addition of multi-wall carbon nano-tubes (MWCNT). These compounds were well mixed in a Haake batch mixer and compounded polymers were fabricated into sheets of known thickness by compression moulding. Samples were tested for wear resistance with respect to different concentrations of fillers. Wear resistance of a composite with 20 wt% of CF increases when MWCNT was introduced. The worn surface features have been examined using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Photomicrographs of the worn surfaces revealed higher wear resistance with the addition of carbon nanotubes. Also better interfacial adhesion between carbon and vinyl ester in a carbon-reinforced vinyl ester composite was observed.

The low Earth orbit (LEO) environment exposes spacecraft to factors that can degrade the dimensional stability of the structure. Carbon Fibre/Polyether Ether Ketone (CF/PEEK) can limit such degradations. However, there are limited in-orbit data on the performance of CF/PEEK. Usage of small satellite as material science research platform can address such limitations. This paper discusses the design of a material science experiment termed material mission (MM) onboard Ten-Koh satellite, which allows in situ measurements of coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) for CF/PEEK samples in LEO. Results from ground tests before launch demonstrated the feasibility of the MM design. Analysis of in-orbit data indicated that the CTE values exhibit a non-linear temperature dependence, and there was no shift in CTE values after four months. The acquired in-orbit data was consistent with previous ground tests and in-orbit data. The MM experiment provides data to verify the ground test of CF/PEEK performance in LEO. MM also proved the potential of small satellite as a platform for conducting meaningful material science experiments.

<p>As electronic components develop toward high power, high package density, and device size miniaturization,  heat dissipation and electromagnetic interference between electronic components are becoming more and more serious. In order to solve the adverse elec  tromagnetic waves and heat radiation generated by electronic devices, people have high hopes for electronic packaging materials with high thermal conductivity and electromagnetic interference resistance. This paper summa  rizes the research status of high thermal conductivity composite materials and electromagnetic shielding composite materials. Finally, the latest research results of high thermal conductivity and electromagnetic shielding composites are introduced, and the future development trend of new materials for microelectronic packaging is prospected.</p>

Short-carbon-fibre-reinforced polyether ether ketones are materials of great interest for the aeronautical industry. In this study, a design of experiment was carried out to understand the effect of process parameters on micro- and macro-scale properties of injection-moulded short-carbon-fibre-reinforced polyether ether ketone (90HMF40). Mould temperature was found to be the most significant parameter; it had a positive effect, essentially on failure stress and strain. Once the damage and plasticity scenarios were understood, a micromechanical model based on Mori–Tanaka homogenization theory was developed, featuring micro-damage and coupling with macro-plasticity. This model gave good predictions for quasi-static tensile tests.
