Infusion of solid perfluoroalkanes into polydimethylsiloxane gels provides a simple route to regenerating deicing surfaces, with low adhesion strength from the lower inherent cohesive energy perfluoroalkanes. Further, these surfaces are more hydrophobic and environmentally stable than their alkane analogues. The result is robust, surface which demonstrates ice (19.6 kPa), hydrophobicity (water contact angle, CA, >100°), high environmental stability.
Icephobic coatings are required for many applications in extremely cold environments, ranging from transport, communications, and infrastructure to energy systems. For practical applications, the ice adhesion strength (IAS) is most suitable parameter quantify icephobicity of a coating, since would form on any surface if conditions cold. From an engineering view point, icephobic coating should also be robust, durable, environmentally friendly, easy apply over large complex surfaces at low...
Hybrid coatings consisting of a heat resistant Y2O3-Al2O3-SiO2 (YAS) glass containing 2.3 wt % graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were developed by flame spraying homogeneous ceramic powders-GNP granules. Around 40% the GNPs survived high temperatures and distributed along splat-interfaces, forming percolated network. These YAS-GNP are potentially interesting in thermal protection systems electromagnetic interference shields for aerospace applications; therefore silicon carbide (SiC) materials at...
Novel tough multilayered ceramic/graphene materials that exhibit directional electrical transport with an increased conductivity of up to 16 orders magnitude for the in-plane direction are manufactured. The specimens produced by stacking alternative layers ceramics and graphene oxide films, which reduce during densification spark plasma sintering.
En la industria aeroespacial se necesitan materiales ligeros que tengan unas altas prestaciones mecánicas combinadas con una baja densidad. El carburo de silicio, el carbono reforzado fibra y silicio son cumplen estos requisitos, pero a temperaturas presentan problemas oxidación. Una las formas más efectivas prevenir este fenómeno es utilización recubrimientos cerámicos, cuya correcta adhesión sobre los distintos sustratos fundamental para garantizar su funcionamiento. caso del presente...
Glass compositions in the Y 2 O 3 –Al –SiO ( YAS ) system are envisaged as promising coatings for high‐temperature protection, particular thermal protection systems TPS looked aerospace applications. Recently, thermally sprayed hybrid containing a small amount of graphene nanoplateletes GNP s) showed enhanced performance compared to blank coating, demonstrated by occurrence unusual electrical conductivity these glasses and development better mechanical compliance, both phenomena associated...
