Enhanced switching electric field and breakdown strength of epoxy composites with core‐shell silicon carbide nanoparticles

Thermal Sensitive Shape Memory Behavior of Epoxy Composites Reinforced with Silicon Carbide Whiskers

A novel shape memory polymer composite was fabricated by introducing various amounts of silicon carbide whiskers (SiCws) into a shape memory epoxy. The relationship between the thermomechanical properties of the system and structural changes were investigated via dynamic mechanical analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and bending tests. The results show that the bend strength of composites c...

Development of AlN/Epoxy Composites with Enhanced Thermal Conductivity

AlN/epoxy composites with high thermal conductivity were successfully prepared by infiltrating epoxy into AlN porous ceramics which were fabricated by gelcasting of foaming method. The microstructure, mechanical, and thermal properties of the resulting composites were investigated. The compressive strengths of the AlN/epoxy composites were enhanced compared with the pure epoxy. The AlN/epoxy co...

Dielectric strength of ion irradiated polyimide and epoxy/fiber composites

During long-term operation of the new FAIR facility, parts of the superconducting magnets will be exposed to high radiation levels, cryogenic temperatures, and dynamic mechanical loads (Lorentzian forces during pulsed operation). Depending on the position of the different components, the radiation due to beam losses consists of a cocktail of gammas, neutrons, protons, and heavier particles [1]....
