Surfaces of E-glass fibers were modified by vinyl triethoxysilane (VTES), vinyl trimethoxysilane (VTMS) and γ-methacryloylpropyl trimethoxysilane (MPS). The treated glass fibers were analyzed by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) were employed to investigate the effect of glass fibers surface modification on viscoelastic behavior and thermal properties. The morphology of fracture surfaces of various composites was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results revealed that these coupling agents were connected to the surfaces of the fibers by chemical bonding. Dynamic mechanical properties as well as thermal stability of the composites were improved considerablely, but to varying degrees depending on the fiber modification. The diversities of improvement of properties were attributed to the different interfacial adhesion between CLPS matrix and the glass fibers.展开更多

In this paper, we report systematic high-resolution optical observation of the spontaneous crystallization of monodisperse polystyrene(PS) micro-spheres in aqueous solution into close-packed arrays in a static line optical tweezers. The experiments demonstrate that the crystal structure is mainly affected by the minimum potential energy of the system; however, the crystallization dynamics could be affected by various mechanical, physical, and geometric factors. The complicated dynamic transformation process from 1D crystallization to 2D crystallization and the creation and annihilation of dislocations and defects via crystal relaxation are clearly illustrated.Two major crystal growth modes, the epitaxy growth pattern and the inserted growth pattern, have been identified to play a key role in shaping the dynamics of the 1D and 2D crystallization process. These observations offer invaluable insights for in-depth research about colloidal crystal crystallization.展开更多
