This paper is concerned with the interfacial thermal resistance for polymer composites reinforced by various covalently functionalised graphene. By using molecular dynamics simulations, obtained results show that covalent functionalisation in graphene plays a significant role reducing graphene-paraffin resistance. reduction dependent on coverage and type of functional groups. Among groups, butyl found to be most effective resistance, followed methyl, phenyl formyl. The other groups under...
Abstract Designing nanocomposite hydrogels with oriented nanosheets has emerged as a promising toolkit to achieve preferential performances that go beyond their disordered counterparts. Although current fabrication strategies via electric/magnetic force fields have made remarkable achievements, they necessitate special properties of and suffer from an inferior orientation degree nanosheets. Herein, facile universal approach is discovered elaborate MXene‐based highly oriented, heterogeneous...
Abstract Bionic adhesive materials with 3D complex micro/nanostructures have several advantages of low preload, strong adhesion, switchable etc. As the primary high‐precision fabrication method for such materials, lithography is inherently limited by its 2D processing capabilities. Achieving morphologies typically requires auxiliary processes, as dipping and double‐sided separate UV exposures, which increase both complexity limitations process. In this work, an efficient dimensional...

As a potential building block for the next generation of devices or multifunctional materials that are spreading almost every technology sector, one-dimensional (1D) carbon nanomaterial has received intensive research interests. Recently, new ultra-thin diamond nanothread (DNT) joined this palette, which is 1D structure with poly-benzene sections connected by Stone-Wales (SW) transformation defects. Using large-scale molecular dynamics simulations, we found sp3 bonded DNT can transit from...
This work explores the application of a new one-dimensional carbon nanomaterial, diamond nanothread (DNT), as reinforcement for nanocomposites. Owing to existence Stone-Wales transformation defects, DNT intrinsically possesses irregular surfaces, which is expected enhance non-covalent interfacial load transfer. Through series in silico pull-out studies polyethylene (PE) matrix, we found that transfer between and PE matrix dominated by interactions, particular van der Waals interactions....
Abstract Carbon fibres have attracted interest from both the scientific and engineering communities due to their outstanding physical properties. Here we report that recently synthesized ultrathin diamond nanothread not only possesses excellent torsional deformation capability, but also interfacial load-transfer efficiency. Compared with (10,10) carbon nanotube bundles, flattening of nanotubes is observed in which leads a high-torsional elastic limit almost three times higher. Pull-out tests...
Abstract The excellent mechanical properties of carbon nanofibers bring promise for energy-related applications. Through in silico studies and continuum elasticity theory, here we show that the ultra-thin nanothreads-based bundles exhibit a high energy storage density. Specifically, gravimetric density is found to decrease with number filaments, torsion tension as two dominant contributors. Due coupled stresses, nanothread bundle experiences fracture before reaching elastic limit any...
This work summarizes recent progress on the thermal transport properties of three-dimensional (3D) nanostructures, with an emphasis experimental results. Depending applications, different 3D nanostructures can be prepared or designed to either achieve a low conductivity for insulation thermoelectric devices, high interface materials used in continuing miniaturization electronics. A broad range have been discussed, ranging from colloidal crystals/assemblies, array structures, holey...

In this work, the trade-off between transformation toughening of ZrO2/TiO2 ceramic coatings and low temperature (293.15 K ∼ 203.15 K) was achieved by adjusting grain size t-ZrO2 (dt-ZrO2). A negative correlation dt - ZrO2 phase transition (Ms) also established based on strain energy chemical free in coatings. Interestingly, grains lost effects when dt-ZrO2 reaches critical (20 nm) even under cooling stress. This is attributed to number dislocations per unit volume increases 1.5 times with...
