摘要:

随着航空航天工业对更强的轻质材料的需求越来越高,具有高度对齐的碳纳米管(CNT)网络结构的超强CNT复合材料可能是答案。在这项工作中,一种新的方法,应用拓扑数据分析(TDA)的扫描电子显微镜(SEM)图像检测碳纳米管的取向。在某些方向上的CNT束延伸以代数方式总结并表示为可见条形码。然后计算条形码并转化为总扩散函数$V(X,θ)$,由此可以确定比对分数和优选方向。为了验证的目的,随机CNT片材在范围为$0-40\%$的各种应变比下机械拉伸,并且基于在随机位置处拍摄的SEM图像进行定量TDA分析。与来自偏振拉曼光谱和广角X射线散射分析的赫尔曼取向因子相比,结果显示出高度一致性($R^2=0.975$)。此外,TDA方法在改变SEM加速电压和放大率的情况下具有很强的鲁棒性,这可能会改变对准检测的范围。该研究提供了一种快速简单的方法来量化CNT的排列,这在将CNT特性转化为工程产品中起着至关重要的作用。

英文摘要:

As the aerospace industry becomes increasingly demanding for stronger lightweight materials, the ultra-strong carbon nanotube (CNT) composites with highly aligned CNT network structures could be the answer. In this work, a novel methodology applying topological data analysis (TDA) to the scanning electron microscope (SEM) images was developed to detect CNT orientation. The CNT bundle extensions in certain directions were summarized algebraically and expressed as visible barcodes. The barcodes were then calculated and converted into the total spread function $V(X,θ)$, from which the alignment fraction and the preferred direction could be determined. For validation purposes, the random CNT sheets were mechanically stretched at various strain ratios ranging from $0-40\%$, and quantitative TDA analysis was conducted based on the SEM images taken at random positions. The results showed high consistency ($R^2=0.975$) compared to the Herman's orientation factors derived from the polarized Raman spectroscopy and wide-angle X-ray scattering analysis. Additionally, the TDA method presented great robustness with varying SEM acceleration voltages and magnifications, which might alter the scope in alignment detection. With potential applications in nanofiber systems, this study offers a rapid and simple way to quantify CNT alignment, which plays a crucial role in transferring the CNT properties into engineering products.
