A hyperbranched polyamine was prepared using an A 2 + B 3 approach. It acted as a hyperbranched charring and foaming agent (HCFA) in combination with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) to form a new intumescent flame retardant (IFR) system for polyamide 6 (PA6). Effect of HCFA on flame retardant and thermal degradation properties of IFR-PA6 was investigated by limiting oxygen index (LOI), UL-94 vertical burning, cone calorimeter, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) tests. The IFR system presented the most effective flame retardancy in PA6 when the weight ratio of APP to HCFA was 2:1. The LOI value of IFR-PA6 could reach 36.5 with V-0 rating when the IFR loading was 30 wt%. Even if the loading decreased to 25 wt%, IFR-PA6 could still maintain V-0 rating with an LOI value of 31. TGA curves indicated that APP would interact with both PA6 and HCFA in PA6/APP/HCFA composite under heating. The interaction between APP and HCFA improved the char formation ability of IFR system and then much more char was formed for PA6/APP/HCFA composite than for PA6/APP. Therefore, better flame retardancy was achieved. Moreover, the structure and morphology of char residue were studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that compact and foaming char layer containing P-O-C structure was formed for PA6/APP/HCFA system during combustion. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

To meet the high demand for ceramic/superalloy composite structural components in various fields, an advanced high-temperature adhesion technique was firstly developed by preparing a novel inorganic/organic hybrid adhesive suitable for ZrO 2 and TC4 . Chemical bonding started to work at ∼600°C, and became the crucial bonding mechanism at elevated temperatures. The formation of ZrSiO 4 and Ti 5 Si 3 at the interfaces of two substrates not only increased the interfacial connection strength , but also formed two gradient layers with a size of ∼2 μm to effectively alleviate the difference of composition and performance between the adhesive and substrates. In the temperature range of 500–900°C, the matching degree of CTE among ZrO 2 , adhesive and TC4 is higher, and the maximum difference does not exceed 3×10 -6 K -1 . Meanwhile, the formation of a composite structure containing various ceramics (ZrO 2 , SiC and ZrB 2 ) and intermetallics (Ni–Si, Al–Ni), and the improvement of structural compactness of adhesive from 500 to 900°C greatly improved the bonding strength to the maximum value of 31.4 MPa at 900°C. Also, the adhesive pretreated at 900°C showed good thermal cycling resistance, and the strength was still higher than 15 MPa after 50 cycles. For cured adhesive, when used directly in an extreme environment, it can provide bonding strength not less than 5 MPa in the whole temperature range, indicating that the adhesive possessed potential emergency repair convenience. This work significantly broadened the application of high-temperature-resistant adhesion technology in the connection of dissimilar ceramics and alloys.

Modified by Sm0.2Ce0.8O2−δ (SDC) nanoparticles (NPs), SmBaCo2O5+δ (SBCO) double perovskite oxide is evaluated as a promising cathode material for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells. The SDC NPs are epitaxially grown on the surface of SBCO with (220) planes of SDC aligning smoothly to (020) or (100) planes of SBCO, forming a tight, coherent connection at the interface. The influence of this modification on thermal expansion, oxygen diffusion, electrical conductivity and electrochemical properties is investigated thoroughly in this work. The designed SBCO–SDC cathode material demonstrates a lower thermal expansion coefficient (TEC), ∼16.4 × 10−6 K−1, than that of the unmodified SBCO, ∼20.9 × 10−6 K−1. While SDC coating results in a decreased total electrical conductivity, it facilitates oxygen bulk diffusion and improves the surface exchange reaction kinetics. Coating with SDC NPs can accelerate the rate-determining process of dissociation of the absorbed molecular oxygen, especially at intermediate temperatures. Accordingly, the constructed symmetrical cell with the La0.8Sr0.2Ga0.8Mg0.2O3−δ (LSGM) electrolyte shows lower polarization resistance values, if the SBCO–SDC cathode is utilized. Also, the LSGM electrolyte-supported (300 μm) full cell is found to deliver a high power density of 800 mW cm−2 at 800 °C. Owing to the strong and coherent interfacial connection, the developed cathode demonstrates a relatively steady electrochemical performance.

Transition-metal compounds have received extensive attention from researchers due to their high reversible capacity and suitable voltage platform as potassium-ion battery anodes. However, these materials commonly feature a poor conductivity and a large volume expansion, thus leading to underdeveloped rate capability and cyclic stability. Herein, we successfully encapsulated ultrafine CoP and CoSb nanoparticles into rich N-doped carbon nanofibers (NCFs) via electrospinning, carbonization, and phosphorization (antimonization). The N-doped carbon fiber prevents the aggregation of nanoparticles, buffers the volume expansion of CoP and CoSb during charging and discharging, and improves the conductivity of the composite material. As a result, the CoP/NCF anode exhibits excellent potassium-ion storage performance, including an outstanding reversible capacity of 335 mA h g −1 , a decent capacity retention of 79.3% after 1000 cycles at 1 A g −1 and a superior rate capability of 148 mA h g −1 at 5 A g −1 , superior to most of the reported transition-metalbased potassium-ion battery anode materials.
