Multifunctional ferrofluid-infused surfaces with reconfigurable multiscale topography

Developing adaptive materials with geometries that change in response to external stimuli provides fundamental insights into the links between the physical forces involved and the resultant morphologies and creates a foundation for technologically relevant dynamic systems. In particular, reconfigurable surface topography as a means to control interfacial properties has recently been explored using responsive gels, shape-memory polymers, liquid crystals and hybrid composites, including magnetically active slippery surfaces. However, these designs exhibit a limited range of topographical changes and thus a restricted scope of function. Here we introduce a hierarchical magneto-responsive composite surface, made by infiltrating a ferrofluid into a microstructured matrix (termed ferrofluid-containing liquid-infused porous surfaces, or FLIPS). We demonstrate various topographical reconfigurations at multiple length scales and a broad range of associated emergent behaviours. An applied magnetic-field gradient induces the movement of magnetic nanoparticles suspended in a viscous fluid, which leads to microscale flow of this ferrofluid first above and then within the microstructured surface. This redistribution changes the initially smooth surface of the ferrofluid (which is immobilized by the porous matrix through capillary forces) into various multiscale hierarchical topographies shaped by the size, arrangement and orientation of the confining microstructures in the magnetic field. We analyse the spatial and temporal dynamics of these reconfigurations theoretically and experimentally as a function of the balance between capillary and magnetic pressures and of the geometric anisotropy of the FLIPS system. Several interesting functions at three different length scales are demonstrated: self-assembly of colloidal particles at the micrometre scale; regulated flow of liquid droplets at the millimetre scale; and switchable adhesion and friction, liquid pumping and removal of biofilms at the centimetre scale. We envision that FLIPS could be used as part of integrated control systems for the manipulation and transport of matter, thermal management, microfluidics and fouling-release materials.

Further Development Of Aperture: A Precise Extremely Large Reflective Telescope Using Re-Configurable Elements: NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) - Phase II

One of the pressing needs for space ultraviolet-visible astronomy is a design to allow larger mirrors than the James Webb Space Telescope primary. The diameter of the rocket fairing limits the mirror diameter such that all future missions calling for mirrors up to 16 meters in diameter or larger will require a mirror that is deployed post-launch. In response to the deployment requirement, we address the issues of this concept called "A Precise Extremely Large Reflective Telescope Using Reconfigurable Elements (APERTURE) with both hardware experiments and software simulations... We designed and built several fixtures with O-rings to hold a membrane. We established a coating process to make a membrane that was coated on one side with Cr and the other side with Cr-Terfenol-D-NiCo. The Terfenol-D (T-D hereafter) is the MSM (Magnetic Smart Memory) we use. We bought and established a procedure for measuring a deformation over time and purchased a Shack Hartmann system from Imagine Optic (https://www.imagine-optic.com). The first substrate we used was DuPont (TM) Kapton® polyimide film. Due to material creep, we found the stability over a 48-hour period with a Kapton substrate was not as good as desired (greater than 1 micron). We then switched to CP1 Polyimide. We found the CP1 much more stable to creep, being stable from about 3 hours to 48 hours to within a measurement error to below approximately 0.1 micron. We produced a 13 micron maximum deviation on a 50-millimeter-diameter piece of CP1 (25 microns thick). The T-D coating was about 2 microns, and the other layers, about 10 nanometers. The magnetic field at the base was about 0.1 teslas. We can make the T-D film at least 5 times thicker and the magnetic field at least 5 times stronger, and hence make deformations as much as 25 times larger. We have a formed a collaboration produced at the NIAC (NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts) mid-term review with Dr. Ron Shiri of Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) to explore making controlled deviations on lambda/14-lambda/20 scales which are required to bring a surface to the diffraction limit. We carried out only preliminary work on Si using a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM), which produced deviations on the 1 micron level. We are still working on a program to bring to GSFC a flat enough (radius of curvature greater than 10 microns) -coated a Si piece with Cr, T-D, NiCo. Then we plan to carry out tests with an interferometer. Further, we formed a new collaboration with Prof. Rajan Vaidyanathan of the University of Central Florida to replace the CP1 with a shape memory alloy (SMA). With his collaboration, we acquired new Federal funding outside of NASA to explore the use of SMAs (we use NiTi). Our preliminary results indicate that we can produce deformations greater than 1 micron on approximately 100 microns thick. Furthermore we have shown that the NiTi can deploy to better than 1 micron of its set original and then trained shape.

Micro-Ball-Lens Optical Switch Driven by SMA Actuator

The figure is a simplified cross section of a microscopic optical switch that was partially developed at the time of reporting the information for this article. In a fully developed version, light would be coupled from an input optical fiber to one of two side-by-side output optical fibers. The optical connection between the input and the selected output fiber would be made via a microscopic ball lens. Switching of the optical connection from one output fiber to another would be effected by using a pair of thin-film shape-memory-alloy (SMA) actuators to toggle the lens between two resting switch positions. There are many optical switches some made of macroscopic parts by conventional fabrication techniques and some that are microfabricated and, hence, belong to the class of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). Conventionally fabricated optical switches tend to be expensive. MEMS switches can be mass-produced at relatively low cost, but their attractiveness has been diminished by the fact that, heretofore, MEMS switches have usually been found to exhibit high insertion losses. The present switch is intended to serve as a prototype of low-loss MEMS switches. In addition, this is the first reported SMA-based optical switch. The optical fibers would be held in V grooves in a silicon frame. The lens would have a diameter of 1 m; it would be held by, and positioned between, the SMA actuators, which would be made of thin films of TiNi alloy. Although the SMA actuators are depicted here as having simple shapes for the sake of clarity of illustration, the real actuators would have complex, partly net-like shapes. With the exception of the lens and the optical fibers, the SMA actuators and other components of the switch would be made by microfabrication techniques. The components would be assembled into a sandwich structure to complete the fabrication of the switch. To effect switching, an electric current would be passed through one of the SMA actuators to heat it above its transition temperature, thereby causing it to deform to a different "remembered" shape. The two SMA actuators would be stiff enough that once switching had taken place and the electrical current was turned off, the lens would remain latched in the most recently selected position. In a test, the partially developed switch exhibited an insertion loss of only -1.9 dB and a switching contrast of 70 dB. One the basis of prior research on SMA actuators and assuming a lens displacement of 125 m between extreme positions, it has been estimated that the fully developed switch would be capable of operating at a frequency as high as 10 Hz.

Antiferroelectric Ceramics for Energy–Efficient Capacitors by Theory–Guided Discovery

Antiferroelectric ceramics, via the electric-field-induced antiferroelectric (AFE)–ferroelectric (FE) phase transitions, show great promise for high-energy-density capacitors. Yet, currently, only 70–80% energy release is found during a charge–discharge cycle. Here, for PbZrO 3 -based oxides, geometric nonlinear theory of martensitic phase transitions is applied (first used to guide supercompatible shape-memory alloys) to predict the reversibility of the AFE–FE transition by using density-functional theory to assess AFE/FE interfacial lattice-mismatch strain that assures ultralow electric hysteresis and extended fatigue lifetime. A good correlation of mismatch strain with electric hysteresis, hence, with energy efficiency of AFE capacitors is observed. Here, guided by theory, high-throughput material search is conducted and AFE compositions with a near-perfect charge–discharge energy efficiency (98.2%), i.e., near-zero hysteresis are discovered. And the fatigue life of the capacitor reaches 79.5 million charge–discharge cycles, a factor of 80 enhancement over AFE ceramics with large electric hysteresis.

Glassy Phenomena and Precursors in the Lattice Dynamics

Broad classes of functional materials exhibit glass-like phenomena originating with the frustration of a soft phonon driven phase transition, including relaxor ferroelectrics and shape memory strain glasses. While the soft phonon mechanism is mostly understood, how this mechanism becomes frustrated in the presence of disorder remains intensely debated. A common structural feature of the frustrated state is nanoscale regions of local ferroic displacements that form well above the ordering temperature; these are called polar nanoregions (PNRs) in relaxor ferroelectrics and ferroelastic nanodomains (FND) in the strain glasses. The existence of these small regions provides a basis to explain glass-like slow relaxation phenomena, which can manifest in the lattice dynamics as phonon over damping. However, this does not explain why the long-range order becomes localized into PNRs or FNDs, or why this happens specifically at the nanoscale. Recent scattering experiments and theories suggest an exciting new way to think about these problems in terms of the physics of lattice vibrations in chemically disordered crystals. More generally, probing the lattice dynamics of these systems sheds new light on the microscopic origin of the nanoregions, glassy behavior, and enhanced functional properties.

Progress and Challenges in Self-Healing Cementitious Materials

Concrete is the most used man-made material today consisting of a mixture of aggregates (sand, gravel, crashed rock) and paste. The paste component, made up of cement and water, cracks with time. Despite this shortcoming, research towards next-generation cement and concrete has only taken a boost in the past 10-15 years. In particular, self-healing cementitious materials is a research area that has attracted a great deal of attention. A number of reported novel formulations have demonstrated an increase in mechanical and chemical stability with respect to conventional Portland cement, through the addition of inorganic, organic, and even biological additives. This review reports on the latest advances in cement research related to the synthesis of self-healing cements applied in concrete structures. These include geopolymers, engineered cementitious materials (ECC), bacterial cement composites, microencapsulated self-healing materials, shape memory alloys (SMA), and polymer-cement composites. This work describes the performance of each cementitious material and the mechanism responsible for self-healing, including a section on the latest computational modeling studies towards this end. A detailed understanding of these various self-healing cement technologies, including their strengths and weaknesses, is critical at the time of determining the type of structures that these materials could be used for.

Stimuli-responsive petroleum cement composite with giant expansion and enhanced mechanical properties

Shrinkage, as an inherent property of cement during the curing process, has been a concern in the oil & gas industry for centuries. Therefore, expansive cement has been studied for many decades, primarily through incorporation of expansive additives. Nevertheless, traditional expansive additives are not able to achieve the required expansive ratio or maintain a good mechanical property for the cement composite at extreme underground condition. Accordingly, a new generation of expansive additive, which not only has the required expansion, but also work at the downhole high temperature and high pressure environment, and maintain or even enhance the mechanical property, is highly desired. In this work, a high enthalpy storage shape memory polymer (SMP) as a new class of expansive additive is investigated. It is found that the cement composite achieves 1.4% circumferential expansion by only 6% by weight of SMP additives. The compressive strength and flexural strength are also enhanced at the same time, which is hardly achievable by other expansive additives with the same concertation. Good pumpability is also proved by rheological study. The mechanism controlling the enhanced properties is reveled through morphological study and element mapping analysis at the SMP/cement interface.

Uniaxial, Pure Bending, and Column Buckling Experiments on Superelastic NiTi Rods and Tubes

Many existing shape memory alloy (SMA) devices consist of slender beams and frames. To better understand SMA beam behavior, we experimentally examined the isothermal, room temperature response of superelastic NiTi rods and tubes, of similar outer diameters, subjected to four different modes of loading. Pure tension, pure compression, and pure bending experiments were first performed to establish and compare the baseline uniaxial and bending behaviors of rods and tubes. Column buckling experiments were then performed on rod and tube columns of several slenderness ratios to investigate their mechanical responses, phase transformation kinetics under combined uniaxial and bending deformation, and the interaction between material and structural instabilities. In all experiments, stereo digital image correlation measured local displacement fields in order to capture phenomena such as strain localization and propagating phase boundaries. Superelastic mechanical behavior and the nature of stress-induced phase transformation were found to be strongly affected by specimen geometry and the deformation mode. Under uniaxial tension, both the rod and tube had well-defined loading and unloading plateaus in their superelastic responses, during which stress-induced phase transformation propagated along the length of the specimen in the form of a high/low strain front. Due to the dependence of strain localization on kinematic compatibility, the high/low strain front morphologies differed between the rod and tube: for the rod, the high/low strain front consisted of a diffuse “neck”, while the high/low strain front in the tube consisted of distinct, criss-crossing “fingers.” During uniaxial compression, both cross-sectional forms exhibited higher transformation stresses and smaller transformation strains than uniaxial tension, highlighting the now well-known tension-compression asymmetry of SMAs. Additionally, phase transformation localization and propagation were absent under compressive loading. During pure bending, the moment-curvature response of both forms exhibited plateaus and strain localization during forward and reverse transformations. Rod specimens developed localized, high-curvature regions that propagated along the specimen axis and caused shear strain near the high/low curvature interface; whereas, the tube specimens exhibited finger/wedge-like high strain regions over the tensile side of the tube which caused nonlinear strain profiles through the thickness of the specimen that did not propagate. Here, it was therefore found that classical beam theory assumptions did not hold in the presence of phase transformation localization (although, the assumptions did hold on average for the tube). During column buckling, the structures were loaded into the post-buckling regime yet recovered nearly-straight forms upon unloading. Strain localization was observed only for high aspect ratio (slender) tubes, but the mechanical responses were similar to that of rods of the same slenderness ratio. Also, an interesting “unbuckling” phenomenon was discovered in certain low aspect ratio (stout) columns, where late post-buckling straightening was observed despite continuous monotonic loading. Thus, these behaviors are some of the challenging phenomena which must be captured when developing SMA constitutive models and executing structural simulations.

Hardenability and microstructural evolution of a precipitation strengthened Ni 50 Ti 21 Hf 25 Al 4 alloy

NiTi-based quaternary alloys are used in a variety of mechanical components, such as bearings, actuators, and dampers, owing to their good hardenability, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Additionally, one of the most notable characteristics of NiTi-based alloys is their shape memory effect and pseudoelastic properties. Connecting the macroscopic processing parameters employed in the design of new intermetallic alloys to the nanoscale structural characteristics dictating their behavior is crucial for improving their mechanical properties and expanding the spectrum of potential applications. Here, in this work, an arc melted Ni 50 Ti 21 Hf 25 Al 4 (at%) alloy was solution treated at 1050 °C followed by quenching and aging at 600 °C to investigate the effect of aging time on the microstructure and mechanical properties. Two types of nano-sized precipitates were observed and determined as face-centered orthorhombic H-phase (TiHf)Ni and L2 1 Heusler precipitates Ni 2 TiAl. The morphology and orientation of the H-phase were investigated using scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM), elucidating the coarsening kinetics and strengthening contribution of that phase to the intermetallic mechanical behavior. Following coarsening, the presence of Heusler nanoprecipitates was detected under overaged conditions through TEM imaging and nanobeam electron diffraction patterns. A peak hardness condition of 756 HV was achieved after 70 h of aging, indicating that the co-precipitation of H-phase and Heusler precipitates through a well-designed aging treatment can lead to optimal mechanical performance, thus elevating the alloy’s potential as a viable material for industrial applications.

Ionic complexation of endblock-sulfonated thermoplastic elastomers and their physical gels for improved thermomechanical performance

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) composed of nonpolar triblock copolymers constitute a broadly important class of (re)processable network-forming macromolecules employed in ubiquitous commercial applications. Physical gelation of these materials in the presence of a low-volatility oil that is midblock-selective yields tunably soft TPE gels (TPEGs) that are suitable for emergent technologies ranging from electroactive, phase-change and shape-memory responsive media to patternable soft substrates for flexible electronics and microfluidics. Many of the high-volume TPEs used for these purposes possess styrenic endblocks that are inherently limited by a relatively low glass transition temperature. To mitigate this shortcoming, we sulfonate and subsequently complex (and physically crosslink) the endblocks with trivalent Al3+ ions. Doing so reduces the effective hydrophilicity of the sulfonated endblocks, as evidenced by water uptake measurements, while concurrently enhancing the thermomechanical stability of the corresponding TPEGs. Chemical modification results, as well as morphological and property development, are investigated as functions of the degree of sulfonation, complexation and TPEG composition.

Magnetism and structure of Fe- and Co-substituted Mn 2 NiSn

Mn-containing Heuslers are important magnetic shape-memory alloys for fast and precise actuators in manufacturing, robotics, surgery, and other applications. Among the key requirements are a high magnetization and favorable thermal properties, especially a high Curie temperature. In this work, the effect of Fe and Co substitution on the structure and magnetism of Mn 2 NiSn alloys is investigated. The Heusler alloys have been produced by melt spinning and characterized by X-ray diffraction, magnetometry, and electron-transport measurements. It was found that Co substitution for Mn enhances the Curie temperature of Mn 2 NiSn and both Co and Fe substitution improve its magnetization. Further, these improvements are accompanied by reduced thermal and magnetic hysteresis losses and by interesting structural changes, namely improved chemical order and site occupancies characteristic of quaternary (Y-ordered) Heuslers.

Exploiting ultra-large linear elasticity over a wide temperature range in nanocrystalline NiTi alloy

Many shape memory alloys can support large recoverable strains of a few percent by reversible stress-induced martensite transformation, yet they behave non-linear within a narrow operating temperature range. Developing the bulk metallic materials with ultra-large linear elasticity over a wide temperature range has proven to be difficult. In this work, a material design concept was proposed, that is true elastic deformation and reversible twinning-detwinning deformation run in parallel to overcome this challenge. By engineering the residual internal stress to realize the concurrency of true elastic deformation and twinning-detwinning deformation, a bulk nanocrystalline NiTi that possesses an ultra-large linear elastic strain up to 5.1 % and a high yield stress of 2.16 GPa over a wide temperature range of 270 °C was developed. This study offers a new avenue for developing the metallic materials with ultra-large linear elasticity over a wide temperature range of 270 °C (from 70 °C to -197 °C).

In-situ synchrotron diffraction study of the localized phase transformation and deformation behavior in NiTi SMA

The accumulation of dislocation defect was generally recognized as the origin of residual strain and the pseudoelastic instability in NiTi shape memory alloys (SMAs). In the present work, the pseudoelastic instability was studied by comparing the characteristics of Luders-type and uniform transformation mechanism via in-situ synchrotron-based high-energy X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterization. The experimental results showed that the Liiders-type mechanism could result in an intense and sharp increase of stress-induced martensite at the expense of austenite. The residual austenite with high lattice strain within the Luders band might be fully martensitic beyond the stress plateau of the E-a curve. With the accumulation of dislocation defect, the uniform martensitic transformation took place by the progressively homogeneous nucleation and growth of martensite in a local region. While the residual martensite and dislocation density was stabilized during mechanical cycling, the deformation of NiTi SMA turned into a mixture of (i) a balanced forward and reverse phase transformation between austenite and martensite, as well as (ii) the elastic deformation of the aggregate. As a result, there was no apparent increase in dislocation density detected during further cycling.

Extracting energy from ocean thermal and salinity gradients to power unmanned underwater vehicles: State of the art, current limitations, and future outlook

Thermal gradient energy-generation technologies for powering unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) or autonomous sensing systems in the ocean are mainly in the research development phase or commercially available at a limited scale, and salinity-gradient energy-generation technologies have not been adequately researched yet. The demand for self-powered UUVs suitable for long-term deployments has been growing, and further research related to small-scale ocean gradient energy systems is needed. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive review about harvesting energy from ocean thermal or salinity gradients for powering UUVs, focusing on gliders and profiling floats. Thermal gradient energy systems for UUVs based on phase change materials (PCM) cannot provide the energy required for powering autonomous sensing systems because of the systems' low energy conversion efficiency. Besides reducing energy consumption by developing more efficient electrical-mechanical systems, enhancing the thermal conductivity of the PCMs may help address this challenge by increasing the power generation rate of the UUVs. Several other emerging technologies, such as thermoelectric generators, shape memory alloys, and small-scale thermodynamic cycle systems, have shown potential for powering UUVs, but they are still only at the laboratory testing or conceptual design phase. The most advanced power generation technologies based on salinity gradients, reverse electrodialysis and pressure-retarded osmosis, are still not economically viable for large-scale deployment, mainly because of the high cost of the components required to operate in harsh saline environments. Our feasibility evaluation showed that existing salinity gradient power generation technologies are not directly feasible for powering UUVs in the open ocean.

Evaluation of the Microstructure and Property of TiNi SMA Prepared using VIM in BaZrO3 Crucible

The contamination from the crucible has been recognized as the main drawback of using vacuum induction melting (VIM) method to prepare TiNi shape memory alloys (SMAs). In the present work, we evaluated the feasibility of utilizing the highly-stable BaZrO3 crucible to prepare TiNi SMAs, whose microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated by High-energy X-ray Diffraction (HE-XRD), analytical Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and tensile test. It was found that there were about 0.035 wt % oxygen and 0.039 wt % zirconium remained in the TiNi alloy after melting in BaZrO3 crucible, which fulfills the ASTM standard on biomedical TiNi alloys. Oxygen from the dissolution of BaZrO3 could form Ti4Ni2Ox phase, and zirconium exists as solute atoms in both of the matrix and second phase. After the thermomechanical processing and vacuum annealing at 850 degrees C, the alloy achieved 37.63% of fracture elongation and 880 MPa of tensile strength. The transformational strain and martensitic yield strain of the alloy reached about 8% and 21% respectively.

Multiscale Structural Characterization of a Smectic Liquid Crystalline Elastomer upon Mechanical Deformation Using Neutron Scattering

Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) exhibit unique shape memory behavior due to the combination of liquid crystalline orientation and rubber elasticity. Multiscale structural characterization of these materials upon deformation is crucial to understanding their structure–property relationships. In this work, the structure evolution of an epoxy-based, main-chain LCE with deuterated flexible spacers upon uniaxial mechanical deformation is investigated at different length scales. Wide-angle and small-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS/SAXS) reveal the presence of smectic polymorphism and rotations of the smectic domains upon mechanical stretching, which is also confirmed by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). Importantly, the selective deuteration enables an improved neutron scattering contrast between the smectic and amorphous domains. SANS patterns of the deformed, deuterated LCE exhibit strong scattering streaks that are not observed in SAXS or SANS of hydrogenated LCE, indicating the presence of highly aligned amorphous domains. The macroscopic orientation also results in the formation of structures in the micrometer scale revealed by the ultrasmall-angle neutron scattering (USANS) experiment.

Pseudoelasticity of SrNi2P2 Micropillar via Double Lattice Collapse and Expansion

The maximum recoverable strain of most crystalline solids is less than 1% because plastic deformation or fracture usually occurs at a small strain. In this work, we show that a SrNi 2 P 2 micropillar exhibits pseudoelasticity with a large maximum recoverable strain of ~14% under uniaxial compression via unique reversible structural transformation, double lattice collapse–expansion that is repeatable under cyclic loading. Its high yield strength (~3.8 ± 0.5 GPa) and large maximum recoverable strain bring out the ultrahigh modulus of resilience (~146 ± 19 MJ/m 3 ), a few orders of magnitude higher than that of most engineering materials. The double lattice collapse–expansion mechanism shows stress–strain behaviors similar to that of conventional shape-memory alloys, such as hysteresis and thermo-mechanical actuation, even though the structural changes involved are completely different. Our work suggests that the discovery of a new class of high-performance ThCr 2 Si 2 -structured materials will open new research opportunities in the field of pseudoelasticity.
