Fiber-reinforced rubber composites (FRRC) are widely used in automobile, aero tires, and conveyor belts , etc. In order to obtain high performance of FRRC, strong interfacial adhesion between fibers and rubber is a key. Resorcinol-formaldehyde-rubber latex (RFL) as the widely used dipping system in industry can do harm to human health and environment because of the release of resorcinol and formaldehyde in air. In this study, a new kind of eco-friendly dipping system for PA66 fibers was designed and successfully prepared, especially to meet the harsh service environment of aero tires. Such new dipping system is composed of the first coating of tea polyphenols (TP) on fiber surface through the hydrogen bonding between TP and PA66 fibers followed by the second coating with the mixture of glycerol triglycidyl ether (GTE), 2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole (MZ) and styrene-butadiene-vinyl-pyridine (VP) latex, in which the covalent bonding between TP and GTE, the crosslinking of GTE and the co-crosslinking of VP and NR matrix result in the formation of a solid transition bridge between PA66 fibers and NR matrix. By using such eco-friendly dipping system with optimized ratio of MZ/GTE, PA66 fibers/NR composites exhibit equivalent interfacial adhesion and aging stability as that using RFL system, while maintaining the strength and safety of composites. More importantly, PA66 fibers using the eco-friendly dipping system exhibit even better fatigue stability of interfacial adhesion after 46800 times of cyclic fatigue than that using RFL system. The relationship between the dipping layer structure and the interfacial adhesion of the composites was established.
The increase in energy consumption and its collateral damage on the environment has encouraged the development of environment-friendly ceramic materials with good energy storage properties. In this work, (1– x )Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 TiO 3 - x Ca(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 ceramics were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. The 0.88Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 TiO 3 -0.12Ca(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 ceramic exhibited a high recoverable energy storage density of 8.1 J/cm 3 and energy storage efficiency of 82.4% at 550 kV/cm. The introduction of Ca(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 reduced the grain size and increased the band gap, thereby enhancing the breakdown field strength of the ceramic materials. The method also resulted in good temperature stability (20–140 °C), frequency stability (1–200 Hz), and fatigue stability over 10 6 cycles. In addition, an ultrahigh power density of 187 MW/cm 3 and a fast charge-discharge rate ( t 0.9 = 57.2 ns) can be obtained simultaneously. Finite element method analysis revealed that the decrease of grain size was beneficial to the increase of breakdown field strength. Therefore, the 0.88Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 TiO 3 -0.12Ca(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 ceramics resulted in high energy storage properties with good stability and were promising environment-friendly materials for advanced pulsed power systems applications.
