ABSTRACTThe complex conductivity was measured on 3d granular NbC-KCI composite samples at varying metal volume fraction p, frequency ω and temperature above and below the superconductivity critical Tc. The observed frequency dispersion is anomalous in that it is not in accord with the scaling theory of percolation transition. The results are compared with a recently developed scaling theory, which takes both intercluster tunneling and intercluster capacitance into account. The experimental estimates for the new critical exponents are in reasonable agreement with the theory. The very low value of the crossover frequency can also be understood. We also present the data showing the dispersion of the complex conductivity well below the superconducting transition Tc of NbC.

An interposer model based on ordered metal microstructure reinforced polymer composite was established using ANSYS software. The shape of metal microstructure includes quadrilateral, hexagon and triangle. The stiffness and thermal conductivity of composite interposer was calculated and discussed. Simulation results show that the stiffness of the metal microstructure-reinforced polymer composite interposer increases with augmenting the volume fraction of metal compared with the pure polymer. For the composite with metal volume fraction of 65%, the stiffness of the triangular composite interposer is 3.12 times that of the pure polymer interposer. The thermal conductivity of the hexagonal model is the best, while the one of quadrilateral and triangular model is similar. For the composite with the metal volume fraction of 65%, the thermal conductivity of the triangular composite interposer is 3.42 times that of the pure polymer interposer. Therefore, metal microstructure can effectively improve the performance of the pure polymer interposer.

Abstract This work presents a simplified approach to optimally designing a heat sink with metallic thermal conductivity enhancers infiltrated with phase change material for electronic cooling. In present study, thermal conductivity enhancers are in the form of a honeycomb structure. A benchmarked two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model was employed to investigate the thermal performance of the phase change material-metallic thermal conductivity enhancer composite heat sinks. Metallic thermal conductivity enhancers are often used in conjunction with phase change material to enhance the conductivity of the composite heat sink. Under constrained heat sink volume, the higher volume fraction of thermal conductivity enhancers improves the effective thermal conductivity of the composite, while it reduces the amount of latent heat storage simultaneously. The present work arrives at the optimal design of heat sink for electronic cooling by resolving the stated tradeoff. In this study, the total volume of the heat sink and the interfacial heat transfer area between the phase change material and thermal conductivity enhancers are constrained for all design points. Furthermore, assuming conduction-dominated heat transfer, an effective numerical model that solves the single energy equation with the effective properties of the phase change material- metallic thermal conductivity enhancer composite has been developed. The temperature gradient-time history is compared and matched for both the models to arrive at the accurate effective thermal conductivity value. The relationship of effective thermal conductivity as a function of metal volume fraction and thermal conductivity of metallic thermal conductivity enhancer is obtained. The figure of merit (FOM) is used to define the balance between effective thermal conductivity and energy storage capacity. The FOM is maximized to find the optimal volume fraction for the present design. The results from the study reveals that there exists an optimal metal volume fraction that maximizes the thermal performance of the composite.

ABSTRACTNanoindenter techniques have been used to investigate the mechanical properties of Ag-Al2O3 and Fe-SiO2 granular metal films. A discontinuity in the rate of change of hardness as a function of metal volume fraction p was observed. The discontinuity occurs at the percolation threshold pc of the metal, and appears to result from a change in the deformation mechanism at pc. A large peak in compliance (inverse modulus) as measured during indentation unloading was observed in the Ag-Al2O3 films near pc, but was not observed for the Fe-SiO2 films. The compliance peak displayed by Ag-Al2O3 is believed to result from debonding at the metal-ceramic interface and subsequent interfacial sliding, and is not an intrinsic materials property.

Porous films of anodic aluminum oxide are widely used as templates for the electrochemical preparation of functional nanocomposites containing ordered arrays of anisotropic nanostructures. In these structures, the volume fraction of the inclusion phase, which strongly determines the functional properties of the nanocomposite, is equal to the porosity of the initial template. For the range of systems, the most pronounced effects and the best functional properties are expected when the volume fraction of metal is less than 10%, whereas the porosity of anodic aluminum oxide typically exceeds this value. In the present work, the possibility of the application of anodic aluminum oxide for obtaining hyperbolic metamaterials in the form of nanocomposites with the metal volume fraction smaller than the template porosity is demonstrated for the first time. A decrease in the fraction of the pores accessible for electrodeposition is achieved by controlled blocking of the portion of pores during anodization when the template is formed. The effectiveness of the proposed approach has been shown in the example of obtaining nanocomposites containing Au nanorods arrays. The possibility for the control over the position of the resonance absorption band corresponding to the excitation of collective longitudinal oscillations of the electron gas in the nanorods in a wide range of wavelengths by controlled decreasing of the metal volume fraction, is shown.

The purpose of the work was the effect of metal volume fraction of fiber metal laminates on damage after dynamic loads based upon the example of innovative hybrid titanium–carbon composite laminates. The subject of the study was metal–fiber hybrid titanium–carbon composite laminates. Four types of hybrid titanium–carbon laminates were designed with various metal volume fraction coefficient but constant thickness. Based on the results, it can be stated that changes in the metal volume fraction coefficient in the range of 0.375–0.6 in constant thickness titanium–carbon composite laminates do not significantly affect their resistance to impacts in the energy range of 5–45 J. It was concluded that there were no significant differences in maximum force values, total contact time, and damage range. Some tendency towards a reduction in the energy accumulation capacity was observed with an increase in thickness of the metal part in relation to the total thickness of the laminate, especially in the lower impact energy range. This can result in the lower bending stiffness of laminates with lower metal content and potential elastic strain of the composite part before the initiation of the fiber damage process.
