The carbon fiber (CF) reinforced polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) composite was modified by aminated polyphenylene sulfide (PPS-NH2) with different mass fractions. The quantified influence of aminated PPS on PPS/CF composites was investigated. The PPS/CF composite with 7wt% PPS-NH2 showed the best mechanical properties. The tensile strength, flexural strength, flexural modulus and impact strength of the composites increased by 12.5%, 13.0%, 38.5% and 31.5%, respectively. PPS-NH2 hardly influenced the melting process of PPS/CF composite. But the crystallization temperature (Tc) of PPS were obviously increased with the present of aminated PPS.
The phase-field model coupling with the concentration field and flow field was used to simulate the dendrite growth during isothermal solidification of Fe-C alloy in a forced flow. The effects of anisotropy modulus and anisotropy strength on the dendrite growth are studied. The results indicate that the dendrites have four preferential growth orientation and the side-branches growth is not perpendicular to the primary branch while the dendrite along with crystallographic directions. When the dendrite along with crystallographic directions, the dendrites have six preferential growth orientation and the side-branches are parallel to the neighborly primary branch. At a anisotropy strength of 0.01, the crystal have no apparent principal branch and grows into coral shapes.With an increase in anisotropy strength, the tip solute concentration decreases, makes the dendrite growth become fast, the tip velocity increased continuously.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
