Experiments were conducted both to evaluate the potential for grain refinement, the subsequent mechanical properties at room temperature in samples of AZ31 Mg alloy and also to investigate the relationship between one-step and two-step high ratio extrusion (HRE). The one-step HRE was undertaken using a high extrusion ratio of 70:1 at 250, 300 and 350°C. And the two-step HRE was conducted with an extrusion ratio of 7 for the first step at 250, 300 and 350°C, followed by a second-step extrusion with an extrusion ratio of 10 at 250, 300 and 350°C. The initial grain size in the AZ31 ingot was 100μm and that after one-step HRE became similar to 5μm, after two-step HRE at 250, 300 and 350°C were 2, 4, 7μm, respectively, resulting in superior mechanical properties at ambient temperature. The microstructure of two-step HRE was finer and uniformer than that of one-step HRE and the strength of one-step and two-step HRE were similar, moreover, the elongation of one-step HRE was improved markedly than that of two-step HRE. Dynamic recrystallization and adjacent grain broking during HRE is introduced to explain the effects of one-step and two-step HRE on the microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ31 Mg alloy. The current results imply that the simple HRE method might be a feasible processing method for industry applications, and the multiply steps extrusion are effective to fabricate high strength of fine grained hcp metals.

ABSTRACTWe present a simple one-step methodology for direct structuring of porous nanomaterials on the micro- and nano-scale. Our technique, direct imprinting of porous substrates (DIPS), relies on the application of a pre-patterned and reusable stamp to directly imprint porous substrates. DIPS is performed at room temperature and pressure in less than one minute, and circumvents the conventional requirement for resist processing and etching procedures. It is shown that arbitrarily shaped patterns and structures can be transferred to porous nanomaterials with a very high (sub-100nm) feature resolution that is primarily limited by the pore dimensions of the substrate material. DIPS is demonstrated on a wide variety of porous nanomaterials including metals, semiconductors, and insulators. Furthermore, DIPS can be utilized to locally modify material properties including pore dimensions, density, dielectric function, and surface roughness. Lastly, example structures fabricated by DIPS are discussed for their relevance to important applications ranging from drug delivery and imaging, to solar energy conversion, and biosensing.

Abstract Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been widely investigated and employed as a powerful optical analytical technique providing fingerprint vibrational information of molecules with high sensitivity and resolution. In addition to metallic nanostructure, dielectric micro-/nano-structures with extraordinary optical manipulation properties have demonstrated capability in enhanced Raman scattering with ultralow energy losses. Here we report a facile cascaded structure composed of a large microsphere (LMS) and a small microsphere array with Ag nanoparticles as a novel hybrid SERS substrate, for the first time. The cascaded microsphere-coupled SERS substrate provides a platform to increase the molecular concentration, boost the intensity of localized excitation light, and direct the far-field emission, for giant Raman enhancement. It demonstrates the maximum enhancement factor of Raman intensity greater than 108 for the limit of detection down to 10−11 M of 4-nitrothiphenol molecules in aqueous solution. The present work inspires a novel strategy to fabricate cascaded dielectric/metallic micro-/nano-structures superior to traditional SERS substrates towards practical applications in cost-effective and ultrahigh-sensitive trace-detection.

PPy/silane composite film on a magnesium alloy surface was prepared by one-step cycle voltammetry. The mixed solution of methanol and water was used as the hydrolysis solvent of a γ-(2,3-glycidoxypropyl) trimethoxysilane coupling agent (KH-560). The surface morphology of the PPy/silane film, the electro-polymerization progress of KH-560 and PPy, the influence of the silane coupling agent and the corrosion behavior of the coated AZ31 Mg alloy were all investigated. The results indicated that the PPy/silane film on AZ31 Mg alloy via one-step cyclic voltammetry could provide better corrosion protection for an Mg alloy when the volume fraction of KH-560 in the hydrolysis solution was 15% and the time span of hydrolysis was 24 h with the 5.935 × 10−10 A cm−2 corrosion current density.
