The effect of nano-scaled Si 3 N 4 particles on the microstructure, mechanical and electrochemical behavior of hopeite (Zn 3 (PO 4 ) 2 ·4H 2 O) conversion coating on pure titanium was investigated. Different concentrations of nanoparticles were dispersed into the phosphating bath to incorporate the process of coating deposition. The XRD results demonstrated that nano-Si 3 N 4 were doped into the coatings without any decomposition or reaction with the hopeite phase. A finer and denser microstructure of the composite coating could be obtained at the addition of 0.5 g/L Si 3 N 4 in comparison with the pure hopeite coating. Moreover, the composite coating presented a higher bonding strength and corrosion resistance related to the refinement of microstructure and filling of the embedded nanoparticles. It is suggested that the incorporation of nano-Si 3 N 4 particles in conversion coating is a promising approach for performance optimization.
Polyimide (PI) refers to a polymer containing an imide ring characteristic structure on the main chain. It has excellent thermal stability, insulation properties and other characteristics. The Tesla transformer is the core component of the primary pulse source of the high-current electron beam accelerator. It is also an essential component of the energy storage pulse power supply. Therefore, it has broad application prospects in the fields of national defense and civil industry. If the insulation performance of the turn-to-turn coils of the Tesla transformer does not meet the standards, it will break down during high-voltage corona discharge, causing transformer failure. Therefore, it is crucial to improve the insulation performance of Tesla transformer inter-turn wrapping materials. The incorporation of fluorine-containing groups has proven to be a transformative strategy that significantly enhances the physical, chemical, optical, and electrical properties of PI films. In addition, numerous studies have demonstrated that introducing inorganic fillers into the polyimide matrix can substantially enhance the insulating properties of polyimide films. This paper specifically concentrates on elevating the insulating and thermal attributes of polyimide. Initially, a range of polyimide films was synthesized for performance assessment by employing various fluorinated dianhydride and diamine components, utilizing them as substrates. Then, we used nano-silicon nitride (nano-Si 3 N 4 ) and nano-alumina (nano-Al 2 O 3 ) as doping phases to prepare PI composite films, which reduced the dielectric constant and increased the breakdown strength.
