Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Of Peo Coating On Aluminum Alloy In Nacl Solution

Various Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) ceramic coatings were prepared on LY12 aluminum alloy by adjusting the concentration of sodium silicate solution. Optical microscope (OM), XRD and EIS were used to study their morphology, composition and anti corrosion behavior in NaCl solution. Increasing concentration of sodium silicate leads to the increase of the total coating thickness while too high and too low concentration lead to the decrease of inner dense layer. The main composition of PEO coatings prepared in 20, 40 and above 60g/L concentration solution are correspondingly alumina, alumina with mullite, and amorphous phase. The corrosion resistance is determined by the inner dense layer. Increasing the thickness of inner dense layer can improve the anti-corrosion performance. PEO coating's corrosion resistance in acidic, alkaline and neutral NaCl solution is proved and the corrosion mechanism involved is also discussed.

Growth Mechanism And Corrosion Behavior Of Ceramic Coatings On Aluminum Produced By Autocontrol Ac Pulse Peo

Ceramic coatings are produced on aluminum alloy by autocontrol AC pulse Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) with stabilized average current. Transient signal gathering system is used to study the current, voltage, and the transient wave during the PEO process. SEM, OM, XRD and EDS are used to study the coatings evolution of morphologies, composition and structure. TEM is used to study the micro profile of the outer looser layer and inner compact layer. Polarization test is used to study the corrosion property of PEO coatings in NaCl solution. According to the test results, AC pulse PEO process can be divided into four stages with different aspects of discharge phenomena, voltage and current. The growth mechanism of AC PEO coating is characterized as anodic reaction and discharge sintering effect. PEO coating can increase the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy by one order or two; however, too long process time is not necessarily needed to increase the corrosion resistance. In condition of this paper, PEO coating at 60 min is the most protective coating for aluminum alloy substrate. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All fights reserved.

Interface Fracture Property Of Peo Ceramic Coatings On Aluminum Alloy

This paper combines the four-point bending test, SEM and finite element method to study the interface fracture property of PEO coatings on aluminum alloy. The interface failure mode of the coating on the compression side is revealed. The ceramic coating crack firstly along the 45 degrees to the interface, then the micro crack in the coating deduces the interface crack. The plastic deformation observed by SEM shows excellent adhesion property between the coating and substrate. The plastic deformation in the substrate is due to the interfacial crack extension, so the interface crack mode of PEO coatings is ductile crack. The results of FEM show that the compression strength is about 600 MPa. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The mechanism of PEO process on Al–Si alloys with the bulk primary silicon

This study focuses on mechanism of ceramic coating on Al-Si alloys with bulk primary Si using plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) technology. Al-Si alloys with 27-32% Si in weight were used as substrates. The morphologies, composition and microstructure of PEO coatings were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray system (EDX). Results showed that the PEO process had four different stages. The effect of bulk Si is greatly on the morphology and composition of coatings at first three stages. Anodic oxide films formed on Al and Si phases, respectively. When the voltage exceeded 40 V, glow appeared and concentrated on the localized zone of interface of Al and Si phase. Al-Si-O compounds formed and covered on the dendrite Si phase surface, and the coating on bulk Si, which was silicon oxide, was rougher than that on other phase. If the treatment time was long enough, the coatings with uniform surface morphologies and elements distribution will be obtained but the microstructure of inner layer is looser due to the bulk Si.

PS-b-PEO嵌段共聚物薄膜的结晶与微相分离

半结晶性嵌段共聚物中，嵌段间的不相容性导致的微相分离与结晶嵌段的结晶行为之间存在相互竞争与协同作用。现阶段的大部分工作主要集中于半结晶性嵌段共聚物相分离发生后的结晶行为的结晶动力学和内部链折叠，而对于结晶与微相分离同时发生时的结晶与微相分离行为的研究还较少。 本论文以半结晶性的聚苯乙烯和聚环氧乙烷的二嵌段共聚物（PS-b-PEO）薄膜为研究对象，研究其破坏性（break out）结晶行为，以及研究方形片晶与微相分离结构的关系。 首先，本论文研究了不同相分离取向对结晶行为的影响。我们通过控制膜厚得到垂直基底和平行基底的微相分离薄膜。在溶剂蒸汽中，微相分离取向垂直基底时，仅仅是有序度增加，片晶协同生成。退火时间增加，结晶成核控制生长向扩散控制生长转变，导致片晶周围树枝晶生长。微相分离结构为平行基底取向时，焓主要用于取向转变和有序度增加，体系没有片晶生成，仅边缘效应使树枝晶产生。在结晶取向方面，研究了溶剂蒸汽氛围内界面作用改变使分子链轴垂直基底（flat-on）结晶向分子链轴平行基底（edge-on）结晶的转变。随着溶剂分子扩散到基底界面，结晶嵌段PEO与基底相互作用从强变弱，是发生这种转变的决定因素。 其次，从片晶与微相分离相互转变和片晶上微相分离刷的形成两方面研究片晶与微相分离的竞争与协同关系。退火溶剂的选择性影响片晶与微相分离的竞争。在PEO不良溶剂蒸汽环己烷中发生以下转变：片晶生成，逐渐被微相分离破坏，片晶重新生成；PEO良溶剂水中仅存在结晶到微相分离的转变。即晶体溶解，与PS发生微相分离以获得能量上的有利状态。可溶解嵌段的自由体积增加和结晶嵌段的低溶胀性分别是微相分离和结晶发生的关键因素。片晶与微相分离协同关系研究上，通过调控二嵌段共聚物片晶上聚合物刷的密度（小于14.3大于3.8），获得具有微相分离结构的聚合物刷。PS-PS刷的弱相互作用以及PS与PEO（连接PEO片层结构未结晶的PEO链）之间的强不相容性对片层上微相分离刷的形成起来决定作用。

PEO／PH共混体系的相容性、结晶结构、等温及非等温结晶动力学研究

PEO／PH共混体系的组份之间存在着氢键的相互作用，从偏光显微镜观察及熔点下降法测定，PEO／PH共混体系是相容体系，且PEO是在非晶区与PH相容，PH分子链不进入到PEO的晶格中，不引起晶胞参数的改变。对PEO／PH共混体系的等温结晶动力学研究表明，随共混体系中非晶组份PH含量的增加，体系的结晶生长方式由盘状生长转化为原纤状生长，成核方式由方式I(Kg=Kg(I)=4b. σσeTm/ΔHf.K)转化为方式II(Kg=Kg(Ii)=2b. σσeTm/ΔHf.K)析叠链表面自由能（σe）逐渐增大，体系的平衡溶点降低。在PEO／PH共混体系非等温结晶动力学的研究中，DSC实验表明，在常冷却速率下，PEO／PH共混体系符合Avrami方程所揭示的规律，为更好地反映非等温结晶特点，从Avrami方程和Ozawa方程出发，导出一个新的基本方程，根据这个方程，获得了描述非等温结晶过程的一些基本参数，在一定冷却速率下，随非晶组份PH含量的增加，东混体系的结晶速率降低；对于同一组成，冷却速率越大，体系结晶速率越快。WAXD和SAXS分析表明，随非晶组份PH含量的增加，PEO／PH共混体系的结晶度降低，长周期增大，过渡层厚略有变化，但变化很小。进一步表明，过渡层基本上是PEO的非晶相的贡献，PH不进入到PEO的晶格中，PEO是在非晶区与PH相容。

PEO/PCL两嵌段共聚物结晶过程的研究

本文以聚环氧乙烷/聚（ε-已内酯）PEO/PCL两嵌段共聚物为研究对象，研究了其等温结晶和非等温结晶过程及其熔融过程。对PEO/PCL嵌段共聚物的等温结晶过程的研究表明，只有PCL嵌段能发生结晶；在不同温度下等温结晶的PEO/PCL嵌段共聚物在熔融过程中一个显著的特点是在DSC熔融曲线上表现为双峰，而且随着结晶温度的升高，PEO/PCL嵌段共聚物的熔融峰由双峰转变为单峰；PEO/PCL嵌段共聚物在非等温结晶的熔融过程中，与其在等温结晶的熔融过程一样，即熔融曲线表现为双峰。PEO/PCL嵌段共聚物这种熔融双峰现象及其双峰的位置和变化情况，与PEO嵌段的作用有很大的关系。本文进一步讨论了PEO的这种影响和作用。

PEO陶瓷层对铝基体上DLC薄膜承载特性的影响

重载作用下,类金刚石(DLC)薄膜直接应用于铝合金等软金属基体上易发生脆性破裂和剥离而导致过早失效.针对这一问题,以PEO陶瓷层作为承载层,采用有限元数值计算方法,对复合涂层在均布接触载荷作用下的应力场进行研究.结果表明:陶瓷层可明显降低DLC膜的表面拉应力和界面剪应力,起到了良好的载荷支撑作用;陶瓷层厚度对涂层表面拉应力,界面及基体内剪应力的分布有显著影响,其中陶瓷层厚度与接触半宽比为0.150.30时,涂层可以获得较为合理的表面和界面应力场,从而改善DLC膜在铝合金基体上的摩擦磨损性能

The influence of variant PE-b-PEO segments on physical properties of LLDPE graft copolymers

A method was adopted to fix a series of polymers of PE-b-PEO with different PEO/PE segments on the chains of LLDPE. Maleic anhydride (MA) reacting with hydroxyl group of PE-b-PEO (mPE-b-PEO) was used as the intermediate. The structures of intermediates and graft copolymers were approved by H-1 NMR and FTIR. XPS analysis revealed a great amount of oxygen on the surface of grafted copolymers although the end group of PEO was fixed on the LLDPE chains through MA. Thermal properties of the graft copolymers as determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed that PE segments in the grafted monomers could promote the heterogeneous nucleation of the polymer, increase T., and crystal growth rate.

Molecular weight dependence of phase Behavior of PEO/P(EO-b-DMS) blends: Application of Sanchez-Lacombe lattice fluid theory

Molecular weight dependence of phase separation behavior of the Poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO)/Poly(ethylene oxide-block-dimethylsiloxane) (P(EO-b-DMS)) blends was investigated by both experimental and theoretical methods. The cloud point curves of PEO/P(EO-b-DMS) blends were obtained by turbidity method. Based on Sanchez-Lacombe lattice fluid theory (SLLFT), the adjustable parameter, epsilon*(12)/k (quantifying the interaction energy between different components), was evaluated by fitting the experimental data in phase diagrams. To calculate the spinodals, binodals, and the volume changes of mixing for these blends, three modified combining rules of the scaling parameters for the block copolymer were introduced.

Microphase-Separated Brushes on Square Platelets in PS-b-PEO Thin Films

In polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene oxide) thin square platelets can be obtained via fast solvent evaporation by controlling the tethering density (0.08 < sigma < 0.11). The tethering density of the brushes is proportional to the thickness of the PEO crystal and increases with increasing initial solution heating temperature (T-i). When T-i < T-m, where T-m is the melting point of PEO, brushes with microphase-separated structures are observed. The formation of microphase-separated brushes depends on two factors: the strong incompatibility between PS and noncrystalline PEO chains (attached to the crystalline PEO) and the weak interaction between PS-PS brushes.

A stable PEO-tethered PDMS surface having controllable wetting property by a swelling-deswelling process

A PEO-tethered layer on a PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) cross-linked network has been prepared by a swelling-deswelling process. During swelling, the PDMS block of a PDMS-b-PEO diblock copolymer penetrates into the PDMS substrate and interacts with PDMS chains because of the van der Waals force and hydrophobic interaction between them. Upon deswelling, the PDMS block is trapped in the PDMS matrix while the PEO, as a hydrophilic block, is tethered to the surface. The PEO-tethered layer showed stability when treated in water for 16 h. The surface fraction of PEO and the wetting property of the PEO-tethered PDMS surface can be controlled by the cross linking density of the PDMS matrix. A patterned PEO-tethered layer on a PDMS network was also created by microcontact printing and water condensation figures (CFs) were used to study the patterned surface with different wetting properties.
