Summary: Graphite/epoxy resin (G/EP) composites are widely used in fuel cell bipolar plates due to their excellent electrical and mechanical properties. However, the mechanical strength of these composites is significantly reduced due to inadequate bonding interface between graphite and epoxy resin. This study used molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the influence of graphite surface functionalization on the interfacial structures of composites. The results showed that functionalization of the graphite surface increased the interface thickness of the composite, attributed to interdiffusion and hydrogen bond formation. Additionally, the adsorption rate of graphite to the epoxy resin significantly improved after functionalization. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the microscopic process of interface formation in G/EP composites and provide guidance for improving the interface bonding and mechanical strength of composite bipolar plates.

Summary: SiC/SiBCN composites were prepared using the PIP technique, and the evolution of their structural composition and properties under high-temperature environment was investigated to understand the failure mechanism. It was found that below 1500℃, the degradation of SiC fiber was the main factor for the decrease in flexural strength, while above 1600℃, both the mechanical properties of SiC fiber and the structure of SiBCN ceramic matrix contributed to the deterioration of the composite.

Summary: In this study, porous graphene oxide was used as a nanoscale reinforcement to improve the interfacial adhesion in composites, resulting in significantly higher interfacial shear strength compared to untreated fiber and GO/fiber reinforcement. The enhancement was attributed to rich interfacial interactions and improved surface energy through the synergistic effects of polyethylenimine, as well as the formation of a rigid-soft transition zone for stress dissipation. The advantages of porous graphene oxide suggest potential for further advancements in composite materials by carefully designing its properties.

Summary: A core-shell ZrO2@GO hybrid was prepared and incorporated onto carbon fiber via dip-coating to enhance the interfacial adhesion of epoxy composites. The ZrO2@GO functionalized fiber composite showed the highest interfacial shear strength, with significant improvements over untreated fiber, only epoxy sizing coated fiber, and silane coupling agent-encapsulated ZrO2 decorated fiber composites. The enhanced adhesion was attributed to improved resin wettability, multiple interactions between GO and epoxy resin, and the formation of a mobile network absorbing energy.

Summary: A mechanistic model for mode I fatigue delamination growth based on the hybrid fiber bridging zone is developed and described. The model incorporates microfracture mechanisms of striation, fiber peeloff, and fiber bridging stress, measured through scanning electron microscopy analysis. Moreover, it considers the effects of carbon and glass fiber delamination features at the microscopic level to predict the crack propagation behavior in a hybrid laminate. The experimental SERR based on the fiber bridging zone model is used as the similitude parameter for crack growth rate, following a power law.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanical behavior of a carbon-glass/epoxy hybrid composite under cyclic loading and provide a physical-based interpretation for mode I delamination modeling. The results showed that the hybrid composite exhibited a higher surface roughness due to micro-changes at the carbon/epoxy and glass/epoxy interfaces, with the simultaneous presence of both reinforcements along the fracture surface. The inclusion of organosilane bond extended the interphase chain, increasing the deformation interfacial area.

Summary: This study investigated the wear and corrosion properties of AISI 4340 steel coated with HVOF-sprayed WC- and NiCr-based coatings as a substitution for EHC coating. Among the coatings evaluated, Ni-20Cr and WC-CrC-C-Ni showed superior corrosion resistance compared to EHC, while Ni-Cr-B-Si-Fe had inferior performance. In terms of wear resistance, Ni-20Cr coating performed the best, followed by Ni-Cr-B-Si-Fe and WC-CrC-Ni coatings, with both Ni-20Cr and Ni-Cr-B-Si-Fe showing better wear performance than EHC.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
