Methodological Procedures

he Bauschinger Effect is a phenomenon that occurs in metals to reduce mechanical strength and increase ductility. It is generally considered a deleterious effect on the mechanical properties of steel. In this context, the objective of this paper is to present a bibliometric study, to demonstrate the evolution of research on this effect and the main methodologies used to characterize this metallurgical phenomenon in steels. For this, methodological procedures were followed from the survey of three hundred and seventy publications, in national and international journals related to the theme in the period between 1990 to 2021. Then, the data found were arranged in spreadsheets, to identify the main methodologies and results, serving as a basis for the analysis of the general research scenarios regarding the Bauschinger Effect in steels, for deepening in future studies.

In this work, the effective mechanical reinforcement of polymeric nanocomposites containing spherical particle fillers is predicted based on a generalized analytical three-phase-series-parallel model, considering the concepts of percolation and the interfacial glassy region. While the concept of percolation is solely taken as a contribution of the filler-network, we herein show that the glassy interphase between filler and matrix, which is often in the nanometers range, is also to be considered while interpreting enhanced mechanical properties of particulate filled polymeric nanocomposites. To demonstrate the relevance of the proposed generalized equation, we have fitted several experimental results which show a good agreement with theoretical predictions. Thus, the approach presented here can be valuable to elucidate new possible conceptual routes for the creation of new materials with fundamental technological applications and can open a new research avenue for future studies.

AbstractRecycling of textiles is of importance due to the large amount of waste generated from the increasing consumption and use worldwide. Cotton-rich pre-consumer textiles are considered as potential raw material for production of man-made regenerated fibres, but demands purification from the blends with synthetic fibres as well as the dyes and finishing chemicals. In this study we explore the use of different pre-treatments of pre-consumer textiles to meet specific parameters for production of fibres in the cold NaOH(aq) or cellulose carbamate process. The pre-treatments consisted of different bleaching sequences and were performed on both uncoloured and coloured pre-consumer textiles. For the uncoloured textile, degree of polymerisation and amount of inorganic content was efficiently reduced making the material suitable for both the cold NaOH(aq) and the cellulose carbamate process. In case of the coloured textile, the pre-treatments were able to remove the dye and decrease the inorganic content as well as reduce the degree of polymerisation but only sufficiently enough for production of fibres in the cellulose carbamate process. The work was able to prove a fibre-to-fibre concept while further optimisation of the regeneration steps is expected to improve the mechanical properties of the produced fibres in future studies.

Fibrous Capsule Formation

The high mechanical strength and long-term resistance to the fibrous capsule formation are two major challenges for implantable materials. Unfortunately, these two distinct properties do not come together and instead compromise each other. Here, we report a unique class of materials by integrating two weak zwitterionic hydrogels into an elastomer-like high-strength pure zwitterionic hydrogel via a “swelling” and “locking” mechanism. These zwitterionic-elastomeric-networked (ZEN) hydrogels are further shown to efficaciously resist the fibrous capsule formation upon implantation in mice for up to 1 year. Such materials with both high mechanical properties and long-term fibrous capsule resistance have never been achieved before. This work not only demonstrates a class of durable and fibrous capsule–resistant materials but also provides design principles for zwitterionic elastomeric hydrogels.

AbstractVery recently, a novel phase of hydrogenated borophene, namely $$\alpha '$$ α ′ -4H, has been synthesized in a free-standing form. Unlike pure borophenes, this phase shows very good stability in the air environment and possesses semiconducting characteristics. Because of the interesting stiffness and flexibility of borophenes, herein, we systematically studied the mechanical properties of this novel hydrogenated phase. Our results show that the monolayer is stiffer (Y$$_\text {xy}$$ xy = $$\sim $$ ∼ 195 N/m) than group IV and V 2D materials and even than MoS$$_2$$ 2 , while it is softer than graphene. Moreover, similar to other phases of borophene, the inherent anisotropy of the pure monolayer increases with hydrogenation. The monolayer can bear biaxial, armchair, and zigzag strains up to 16, 10, and 14% with ideal strengths of approximately 14, 9, and 12 N/m, respectively. More interestingly, it can remain semiconductor under this range of tension. These outstanding results suggest that the $$\alpha '$$ α ′ -4H is a promising candidate for flexible nanoelectronics.

Optically Transparent

The dependence of the optical and mechanical properties of optically transparent polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) composites on the annealing temperature of BK10 glass fibers was investigated. Annealing was used to modify the refractive index (R.I.) of the glass fiber so that it would more closely match that of PMMA. Annealing increased the refractive index of the fibers and narrowed the distribution of refractive index of the fibers, but lowered their mechanical strength so the mechanical properties of composites reinforced with annealed fibers were not as good as for composites containing as-pulled (chilled) glass fibers. The refractive index of as-pulled 17.1 μm diameter fibers (R.I. = 1.4907) increased to 1.4918 and 1.4948 after annealing at 350 °C to 500 °C for 1 h or 0.5 h, respectively. The refractive index of glass fibers annealed at 400 °C/1 h best matched that of PMMA at 589.3 nm and 25 °C, so the composite reinforced with those fibers had the highest optical transmission. Because annealed glass fibers had a more uniform refractive index than unannealed fibers, the composites made with annealed fibers had a higher optical transmission. The mechanical strength of annealed fiber/PMMA composites decreased as the fiber annealing temperature increased. A composite containing fibers annealed at 450 °C/1 h had a tensile strength 26% lower than that of a composite made with as-pulled fibers, but 73% higher than that for unreinforced PMMA. This decrease was avoided by treating annealed fibers with HF. Composites made with annealed and HF (10 vol. %)-treated (for 30 s) glass fibers had a tensile strength (∼200 MPa) equivalent to that of the composites made with as-pulled fibers. However, as the treatment time in HF increased, the tensile strength of the composites decreased because of a significant reduction in diameter of the glass fiber which reduced the volume percent fiber in the composite.

Geotextiles are made of polymers, and their conjunction with different processes and materials can provide geotextiles with desirable characteristics and functions, such as filtration, separation, and drainage, and thereby meets the environmental requirements. Chemical resistant and mechanical strong polymers, including polyester (PET) and polypropylene (PP), are thus used to prolong the service life of the products made by such materials. This study proposes highly air permeable geotextiles that are made with different thicknesses and various needle punching speeds, and the influences of these two variables over the pore structure and mechanical properties are then examined. PET fibers, PP fibers, and recycled Kevlar fibers are blended, followed by being needle punched with differing spaces and speeds to form geotextiles with various thicknesses and porosities. The textiles are then evaluated for their mechanical strength and porosity. The test results show that a thickness of 4.5 cm and 1.5 cm demonstrate an influence on the tensile strength of the geotextiles, which is ascribed to the webs that are incompletely needle punched. However, the excessive needle punching speed corresponding to a thickness of 0.2 cm results in a decrease in tensile strength, but there is also an increase in the porosity of the geotextiles.

The inoculation and fading behavior of Sr-modified aluminum alloy A356. 2 were studied for air bag bracket produced by squeeze casting. The effects of Sr, P, B contents and casting temperature on the microstructure and eutectic silicon morphology in different periods of inoculation were investigated by SEM and direct-reading Spectrometer. The influence of inoculation fading rate and addition of Sr on the casting mechanical properties and hydrogen absorption was studied. The experimental results showed that the inoculation process was completed in 1 h, and the eutectic silicon morphology can be maintained in almost subsequent 40 h after the addition of Sr. The fading rate decreased appreciably with the increase of casing temperature, P and B contents. The deleterious effect of the inoculation fading of Sr on the casting mechanical property can be compensated by the squeeze casting.

Abstract The effect of freezing on the viability and mechanical strength of bioartificial tissues was determined under a variety of cooling conditions, with the ultimate aim of optimizing the cryopreservation process. Bioartificial tissues (i.e. tissue-equivalents or TEs) were prepared by incubating entrapped human foreskin fibroblasts in collagen gels for a period of 2 weeks. The bioartificial tissues were frozen using a controlled rate freezer at various cooling rates (0.5, 2, 5, 20, 40 and > 1000°C/min or slam freezing). The viability (< 60 min after thawing) of the fibroblasts in the bioartificial tissue was assessed using the Ethidium Homodimer (dead cells stain red) and Hoechst Give cells stain blue) assay. Uniaxial tension experiments were performed on an MTS Microbionix System (Eden Prairie, MN) to assess the post-thaw mechanical properties (Maximum Stiffness; Ultimate Tensile Stress; and Strain to Failure) of the frozen-thawed bioartificial tissue (≤ 3 hours after thawing). The results suggest that cooling rates of either 2 or 5°C/min are optimal for preserving both the cell viability and mechanical properties of the bioartificial tissues, post-freeze. Bioartificial tissues were also frozen using a directional solidification stage at 5°C/min. The post-thaw viability results are comparable in both the directionally cooled and the controlled rate freezer samples. However, the mechanical properties of the directionally cooled samples are significantly different (with a higher maximum stiffness and a lower strain to failure) than those obtained for samples frozen using a controlled rate freezer. This suggests that the directionality of ice propagation into the sample affects the measured mechanical properties.

Silk may possess superior mechanical strength while its resilience is very poor. In contrast, elastin in human arteries is very soft but extremely durable with an estimated half-life of 70 years. By combing polypeptide sequences derived from native silk and elastin, we have produced a series of silk-elastin-like proteins (SELPs), which have displayed a set of outstanding properties such as good biocompatibility and controllable biodegradation rates [1]. In this study, we will examine the crystallization of the silk-like blocks and the crosslinking of the elastin-like blocks, as well as their influences on the mechanical behavior of SELPs. The ultimate goal of this study is to explore the potential of SELPs for applications in the engineering of load-bearing tissues such as arteries.
