Current studies on tailoring the coefficient of thermal expansion of metamaterials focused on either complex bending-dominated lattice or the stretching-dominated lattice which transforms the spaces of triangle and tetrahedron. This paper proposes a kind of dual-material rectangular cell of tailorable thermal expansion, which reduces the complexities of design, calculation, and manufacture of lattice materials. The theoretical derivation using the matrix displacement method is adopted to study the thermal expansion properties of rectangular cell in the direction of height, the analytical expressions of coefficient of thermal expansion and optimization model are used to design the sizes of rectangular cell, and experimental verification is carried out. It is found that the middle cell of lattice had the same thermal expansion law as that of the unit cell. The rectangular cells of negative coefficient of thermal expansion −7 ppm/℃, zero coefficient of thermal expansion, and large positive coefficient of thermal expansion 36.2 ppm/℃ in the direction of height were realized, respectively. The consistency of theory, simulation, and experiment verifies that rectangular lattice material made of two kinds of common materials with a different coefficient of thermal expansions can achieve the design of coefficient of thermal expansion in the direction of height by choosing different material distribution and geometric parameters.

Matrix Nanocomposites

Metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs) with high specific strength have been of interest for numerous researchers. In the current study, Mg matrix nanocomposites reinforced with AlN nanoparticles were produced using the mechanical stirring-assisted casting method. Microstructure, hardness, physical, thermal and electrical properties of the produced composites were characterized in this work. According to the microstructural evaluations, the ceramic nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed within the matrix by applying a mechanical stirring. At higher AlN contents, however, some agglomerates were observed as a consequence of a particle-pushing mechanism during the solidification. Microhardness results showed a slight improvement in the mechanical strength of the nanocomposites following the addition of AlN nanoparticles. Interestingly, nanocomposite samples were featured with higher electrical and thermal conductivities, which can be attributed to the structural effect of nanoparticles within the matrix. Moreover, thermal expansion analysis of the nanocomposites indicated that the presence of nanoparticles lowered the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) in the case of nanocomposites. All in all, this combination of properties, including high mechanical strength, thermal and electrical conductivity, together with low CTE, make these new nanocomposites very promising materials for electro packaging applications.

In this study, new composite coatings are fabricated and investigated for their applications as the metal coating. The studied coatings consist of two-layered composites with various nanoparticulates as fillers in a polymeric matrix (styrene acrylic). The first layer bonded to the steel plate uses a combination of zinc particles, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and graphene nanoplatelets. For the second layer, hexagonal boron nitride with high electrical insulation properties is added to the matrix. The morphology of the nanoparticulates is conducted using a scanning electron microscope. The coefficient of thermal expansion, cathodic disbondment resistance, gas penetration, and scratch resistance of the coatings are evaluated. The corroded area on the cathodic disbondment test specimens reduced down up to 90% for the composite with zinc (20 wt%), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (2 wt%), and graphene nanoplatelets (2 wt%), compared to a specimen coated with a pure polymer. It is seen that the presence of nanoparticulates decreased gas permeation and thermal expansion of the matrix by 75% and 65%, respectively. The addition of nanoparticulates also enhanced scratch resistance of the coating composites.

The aim of this paper is to propose a microstructure modeling for prediction of thermal conductivity of plain weave C/SiC fibre bundles considering manufacturing flaws. Utilizing photomicrographs taken by scanning electron microscope (SEM), we established an accurate sub representative volume element (sub-RVE) model for carbon fiber bundles and RVE for the plain weave C/SiC composite with consideration of four classes of manufacturing porosity. The thermal expansion coefficient of carbon fibre bundles on axial and transverse coefficient of thermal expansion is calculated, respectively. Based on which thermal expansion coefficient of plain weave C/SiC is obtained with the value of 2.71×10-6 in-plain, which has a good correlation with experimental value. The influences of different manufacturing flaws on material’s thermal expansion coefficient are studied. The study shows that as the matrix porosity or crack volume fraction is increasing, thermal expansion coefficient of plain weave C/SiC is decreasing correspondingly while the speed gradually slows.

ABSTRACTIt is important to achieve materials with large coefficient of thermal expansion in science and engineering applications. In this paper, we propose an experimentally-validated metamaterial approach to amplify the thermal expansion of materials based on the guiding principles of flexible hinges and displacement amplification mechanism. The thermal expansion property of the designed metamaterial is demonstrated by simulation and experiment with a temperature increase of 245 K for the two-dimensional sample. Both experimental and simulation results display amplified thermal expansion property of the metamaterial. The effective coefficient of thermal expansion of the metamaterials is demonstrated to be dependent on the size parameters of the structure, which means by appropriately tailoring these parameters, the thermal expansion of materials could be amplified with different amplification factor. This work provides an important method to control the thermal expansion coefficient of materials and could be applied in various industry domain.

The Matrix

The demand of today’s and future spacecrafts for a stable platform for critical payloads is the driving force behind the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) measurement of different aerospace materials. The CTE of a composite is different from that given by a simple rule of mixtures. This is because of the presence of reinforcement. The expansion coefficient of reinforcement is less than that of the matrix which introduces a mechanical constraint on the matrix. The degree of constraint is also dependent on the nature of the reinforcement. It is important to point out that interface can exert some influence on the value of CTE, especially for very small particle size. In addition to the interface, the CTE of particle reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs) is affected by several other factors. To cater the needs of various requirements in a spacecraft making, a wide variety of materials are used. Besides, the indigenization efforts and development of new materials for space-use emphasizes the measurement of CTE before their actual use. Stir casting technique was used to fabricate composites containing Si Cp as reinforcements and special thermo physical properties of the material are found. CTE of the composites are measured by TMA. The experiments have been carried out in the temperature range -1400 C to 5750 C.

Syntactic foams are commonly fabricated with sodalime–borosilicate glass hollow microsphere fillers, which are susceptible to degradation after long-term or high temperature moisture exposure. In comparison, borosilicate glass hollow particles offer higher degradation resistance to moisture, lower thermal expansion, and higher softening temperature. This work explores borosilicate glass hollow microspheres for use as fillers in syntactic foams and studies their thermophysical properties. The coefficient of thermal expansion over the temperature range 35–90℃ was observed to decrease from 62.4 μ/K for the matrix resin to a minimum of 24.3 μ/K for syntactic foams, representing higher thermophysical stability of syntactic foams. Theoretical models are used to conduct parametric studies and understand the correlation between material parameters and coefficient of thermal expansion of syntactic foams. The dynamic mechanical analysis results show that the storage modulus of syntactic foams increases with increasing glass hollow microsphere wall thickness and with decreasing glass hollow microsphere volume fraction in the glassy region at 40℃. The β-relaxation of the matrix resin found at 66.1 ± 2.0℃ was suppressed in the majority of syntactic foams, further improving the stability around typical application temperatures.

A numerical method RFPA-T (Thermal Induced Rock Failure Process Analysis) code is used to study the thermal cracking processes of quasi-brittle materials subjected to high or low temperature. The numerical results indicate that thermal stress concentrating along the interface between the matrix and the embedded grains due to their different coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). The modeling results indicate that θ-crack is generated during temperature increment as the CTE of the embedded grain is smaller than that of the matrix. However, radial-cracks emerged when the temperature decrease. The results obtained from RFPA-T code show a good agreement with experimental evidence of crack patterns caused by thermal expansion mismatch.

A series of innovative thermosetting polymer nanocomposites comprising of polysiloxane-imide-containing benzoxazine (PSiBZ) as the matrix and double-decker silsesquioxane (DDSQ) epoxy or polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) epoxy were prepared for improving thermosetting performance. Thermomechanical and dynamic mechanical characterizations indicated that both DDSQ and POSS could effectively lower the coefficient of thermal expansion by up to approximately 34% and considerably increase the storage modulus (up to 183%). Therefore, DDSQ and POSS are promising materials for low-stress encapsulation for electronic packaging applications.

Asymmetric 2-(4′-maleimido)phenyl-2-(4′-maleimidophenoxyl)phenylbutane (EBA-BMI) was successfully mixed with N, N′-(4,4′-diphenylmethane)bismaleimide (DDM-BMI) to prepare the matrix resins for high-temperature fiber-reinforced polymeric composites (glass transition temperature ( Tg) > 400°C). Experimental results imply that DDM-BMI/EBA-BMI (DE-BMIs) show excellent melting performance with wide processing temperature window and low molten viscosity, suggesting excellent compatibility between DDM-BMI and EBA-BMI. For example, the viscosity of DE-BMI41 (DDM-BMI/EBA-BMI, 4/1) is about 474–51 mPa·s in the temperature range of 148–180 °C. In addition, cured DE-BMIs represent remarkable thermal properties with Tg over 400°C, under which the storage modulus could still reach as high as 3.2 GPa. Meanwhile, the coefficient of thermal expansion of these cured resins is about 36–40 ppm °C−1 at 50–250°C, and the 5% weight loss temperature is about 470°C.

Dual-material lattices with tailorable coefficients of thermal expansion have been applied to a wide range of modern engineering systems. As supporting techniques for fabricating dual-material lattices with given coefficients of thermal expansion, the current existing methods for measuring the coefficient of thermal expansion have limited anti-interference ability. They ignore the measuring error caused by micro-displacement between the measurement sensor and the test sample. In this paper, we report a robust interferometric test method which can eliminate the measurement error caused by micro-displacement between the measurement sensor and the test sample. In the presented method, two parallel plane lenses are utilized to avoid the measurement error caused by translation, and the right lens is utilized as an angle detector to eliminate the measurement error caused by rotation. A robust interferometric testing setup was established using a distance measuring set and two plane lenses. The experiment results indicated that the method can avoid the measurement error induced by translation and has the potential to eliminate the measurement error induced by rotation using the rotational angle. This method can improve the anti-interference ability and accuracy by eliminating the measurement error. It is especially useful for high-precision thermal expansion measurement of dual-material lattices.
