Cu–Zr–Ta ternary thin film metallic glasses (TFMGs) were deposited through the direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering of pure metallic targets in a dynamic mode. The effect of tantalum addition on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and thermal behavior of TFMGs were investigated. Nanoindentation measurements showed that an increase in tantalum content from 0 to 47 at % favored hardness and Young’s modulus, which rose from 5.8 to 11.23 Gpa and from 90 to 136 Gpa, respectively. XRD analysis and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements highlighted an improvement of thermal stability with the tantalum addition from 377 to 582 °C when the tantalum content increased from 0 to 31 at %.

In this paper the effect of LDPE content in PVC foams are examined on the structure of both the foam and the LDPE. We attempt to understand how LDPE content affects the structure of PVC in blends and how it changes the glass-transition (Tg). These parameters often provide important information related to the overall macromolecular structure of the polymer blend. Thermal analytical techniques such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) often used to determine the structural transformation of samples. The effect of the miscibility and composition of the PVC/LDPE foam blends on the thermal stability were also investigated.

We studied the transformation and mechanical properties of Ti- 54.8-51.6 at % Ni shape memory alloy thin film actuators sputter-deposited at different argon pressures of 0.47-3.4 Pa. The higher the argon pressure, the lower the nickel composition. TiNi thin films were crystallized at 800C for 10min, aged at 400C for 6h, and analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry and tensile tests. All films showed 2-step transformation of martensite, R, and austenite phases. The maximum generative stress of 365MPa was obtained when the TiNi thin film actuator deposited at 2.0Pa was heated electrically to 30A/mm2 after deformation of 3.0% at room temperature.

In this article,polyethersulfone and flourene-coating epoxy resin were utilized tomodify both the toughness and the mechanical properties of traditional epoxy resins. The cure kineticsand the thermal stabilityof the resultedblends were tested by differential scanning calorimetry technology and thermogravimetric analysis, respectively. Additionally, the mechanical properties of resulted thermosets were discussed after tested by Dynamic Thermomechanical Analyzer.When compared to the traditional epoxides, the obtained blends exhibit much better heat resistance, thermal stability and mechanical properties.

Inorganic-organic hybrids (M–O–PDMS hybrids) have been synthesized from silanolterminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and inorganic sources of Al(O–sec–C4H9)3, Ti(OC2H5)4, and Ta(OC2H5)5. The molar ratio of M(OR)n/PDMS and the inorganic component derived from the different metal alkoxides were found to influence the structure and mechanical properties of the hybrids. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements showed that the interaction between the inorganic component and PDMS increased in the order Al–O–PDMS < Ta–O–PDMS < Ti–O–PDMS hybrid. The stress-strain experiments revealed that the mechanical properties of the M–O–PDMS hybrids differed by the inorganic component, reflecting the network structure and strength of the interaction between the inorganic component and PDMS.

Zr-based thin film metallic glasses (TFMG) were fabricated from a polycrystalline Zr48Cu36Al8Ag8 (at.%) target by DC magnetron sputtering. A series of characterization techniques were employed to study the structure, composition and thermal stability of the glassy coating. Annealing studies show nanocrystallites of CuZr2 in an amorphous matrix.

AbstractIn this article, the thermal and mechanical properties of hydroxyapatite (HA)/polyetheretherketone (PEEK) nanocomposites were investigated. The surface of the HA particles was modified by stearic acid. Subsequently, the modified HA and PEEK were ultrasonically dispersed in ethanol and then subjected to drying and ball milling treatments. By controlling the concentration of modified HA, HA/PEEK nanocomposite powders containing various amounts of modified HA were successfully prepared. The tensile strength, impact strength, and flexural strength of the nanocomposite reached maximum values at 2.5 wt% HA and were 18.5%, 38.2%, and 5.7% higher than those of the pure PEEK, respectively. Moreover, the flexural modulus of the HA/PEEK nanocomposites increased at 2.5 wt% HA and was approximately 30% higher than that of the pure PEEK. The thermal property measurements (differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis) showed that the nanocomposites with 2.5 wt%-modified HA exhibited enhanced thermal stability as compared to the pure PEEK, showing potential for selective laser sintering.

AbstractLignin was used to study the mechanical properties and thermal stability of polymers. The lignin was blended with three kinds of polymers, and the addition of lignin was 0.5 wt%. Under the condition of thermal oxidation, the thermal stability of lignin/polymer samples varies with the structure of lignin. The effects of lignin on the mechanical properties and thermal stability of the polymers were investigated by oxidation induction time (OIT), rheological properties, mechanical properties and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results show that the effect of lignin on the thermal properties of polymer samples is 2~3°C. It can be inferred that lignin can effectively improve the interaction between polymer molecular chain segments, and improve the crystallization rate and rigidity to a certain extent, so it can be seen that lignin has good compatibility and thermal stability.

Amorphous Zr–Rh and Zr–Pd hydrides are prepared both by hydriding metallic glasses and by hydriding metastable, polycrystalline fcc alloys. The thermal stabilities of the amorphous hydrides produced by these two distinct methods are examined by means of differential scanning calorimetry and are found to be similar. The enthalpy difference between the fcc phase and the amorphous phase of Zr81Rh19 is determined to be 0.6 kcal/mol. The thermal stability of Zr–Rh hydrides as a function of hydrogen concentration is investigated.

The series of compositions containing thermodynamically incompatible flexible blocks of aliphatic polyesters and rigid blocks of aromatic bis (urethane) imides in the volume of polymers was obtained on the basis of multiblock (segmented) poly (urethane-imides) and related aromatic polyimides. The series includes segmented poly (urethane-imides) with different relative content of flexible and rigid blocks, non-segregating mixtures of poly (urethane-imides) and thermoplastic partially crystalline polyimide, statistical copolymers of poly (urethane-imide) with imide, and non-segregating mixtures of statistical copolymers with thermoplastic polyimide. The derived polymer systems were studied using thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and dynamic mechanical analysis. The deformation and strength properties of film samples are determined. It is shown that the properties of the studied polymers change as their content of imides blocks increases, and the transition from thermoplastic poly (urethane-imide) elastomers to thermoplastic polyimides is observed.
