Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

during the last years, a remarkable progress has been made in the development of new materials. Advanced structured materials open up new engineering possibilities because their specific properties (chemical, mechanical, physical) make them appropriate for certain applications. An understanding of the relationship between the structures and the properties has a crucial importance of practical utilization of these materials. The aim of this special issue is to gain new, unique knowledge about the relationships between structure and physico-mechanical and chemical properties, including finding ways to control the structure and function of homogeneous and heterogeneous materials at individual dimensional levels of structure and thus achieve the desired technical and functional properties. Another goal is the development of new methods for simulation and modeling of relationships between the structure and properties of homogeneous and heterogeneous advanced materials and their application potential. The study of the relationships between structure, physical, mechanical and chemical properties in interaction with the applied stress is followed by the description of physical and mathematical models for the design of predictive models.

The current and emerging applications of the following advanced structured materials are welcomed:

  • Advanced Composites Materials
  • Ceramics Matrix Composites
  • Polymer Matrix Composites (Thermosets, Thermoplastics)
  • Metal Matrix Composites
  • Cellular Materials
  • Nanocomposite Materials
  • Nanoporous Metals
  • Nanomaterials
  • Biomaterials
  • Textile Advanced Materials
  • Smart Materials

The scope of this special issue can be used as a valuable guide for academic researchers, material scientists, or product designers for their future research work.

The Influences of Projectile Material and Environmental Temperature on the High Velocity Impact Behavior of Triaxial Braided Composites

Two-dimensional (2D) triaxial braided composites with braiding angle (± 60°/0°) have been used as aero-engine containing casing material. In the current paper, three types of projectile with the same mass and equivalent diameter, including cylinder gelatin projectile, carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP), and titanium alloy blade-like projectile, were employed to impact on triaxial braided composites panels with thickness of 4.3 mm at room temperature (20 °C) to figure out the influences of projectile materials on the damage pattern and energy absorption behavior. Furthermore, the influences of environmental temperature were also discussed considering the aviation service condition by conducting ballistic impact tests using CFRP projectile at cryogenic temperature (−50 °C) and high temperature (150 °C). The triaxial braided target panel were pre-heated or cooled in a low-temperature chamber before mounted. It is found that soft gelatin project mainly causes global deformation of the target and therefore absorb much more energy. The triaxial braided composite absorb 77.59% more energy when impacted with CFRP projectile than that with titanium alloy projectile, which mainly results in shear fracture. The environmental temperature has influences on the damage pattern and energy absorption of triaxial braided composites. The cryogenic temperature deteriorates the impact resistance of the triaxial braided composite material with matrix cracking damage pattern, while high temperature condition improves its impact resistance with shearing fracture damage pattern.

Carbides are used extensively as cutting tools, forming dies, and recently in catalysis applications, among other industrial applications. In this work, the synthesis and characterization of a nanostructured MoW bimetallic carbide were carried out by mechanical alloying with a mixture of elemental powders with a nominal composition of W1.5Mo6C2.5 at different grinding times as follows: 25, 50, and 75 h in a low-energy ball mill at a speed of 500 rpm and 125 and 150 h in a high-energy ball mill at a speed of 1500 rpm. The formation of a solid solution was observed at 150 h of milling; the nanostructured bcc MoW carbide corresponded to the main phase in the sample, besides the presence of the nanostructured MoW alloy as a secondary phase with an average crystal size of 40.8 nm. The phases and morphology at every stage of milling were studied by: X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and Vickers hardness. As the milling time increased, the hardness of these particles increased from 10.5 to 31.48 GPa for the powder particles milled for 150 h. The samples obtained at 125 and 150 h of milling were evaluated during catalytic aqua-thermolysis of heavy oil to analyze fuel desulfurization properties by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) techniques. The results showed the breaking of S-S bonds, indicating the existence of a desulfurization reaction of heavy oil. Full article
