The invention relates to a preparing method of silicon-carbon-nitrogen (SiCN) wave absorbing ceramic base composite materials. The preparing method includes: adopting chemical vapor deposition (CAD) or chemical vapor infiltration (CAI) technology, using SiC14, SiHC13 or other chlorine silicon compounds or silicane as a silicon source, using CH4, C3H6, C2H2 or other alkane, olefin or alkyne as a carbon source, using NH3 or N2 as a nitrogen source, using H2 as a carrier gas and a reaction gas, using argon as a diluting gas, synthesizing SiCN on substrate materials in situ, and obtaining a SiCN matrix and a coating which are uniform and compact, without impurities, and with devisable compositions and wave absorbing properties. The preparing method overcomes the shortcoming that CFCC-SiC prepared by adopting the prior art is insufficient in wave absorbing performance, and simultaneously facilitates achieving control of compositions, permeability, thickness and wave absorbing performance of a wave absorbing matrix.

The strength and reliability of railroad track structures, such as frogs, crossings, and guardrails, is enhanced. Filler members and filler blocks are fitted in to support and strengthen the structures. The filler members and filler blocks provide better matching and alignment of load transfer surfaces. The track structures with the improved components are more easy to align and assemble. The strength of the assembled track and structures is also increased, and the structures are more easily maintained.

A bond is created between a gypsum matrix and a silane-based sizing composition coated onto a glass fiber and gypsum matrix during manufacture of gypsum board. Hydrophilic water extraction at the gypsum matrix-sizing interface reduces void formation and promotes the growth of smaller calcium sulphate dihydrate crystals within larger calcium sulphate dihydrate crystals in microstructurally identifiable regions adjacent to the glass fiber. The resulting gypsum board exhibits excellent strength, flexure resistance and nail pull out resistance. An alternative approach utilizes a silane based sizing composition having branched chains that diffuse into a wet gypsum mix. During gypsum cure, the diffusion triggers formation of pseudo polymeric networks in a microstructurally identifiable region adjacent to the glass fiber. Bonds formed between the gypsum matrix and the silane based sizing composition increase the strength, flexure resistance and nail pull out resistance of the gypsum board.

This invention discloses a method for preparing a kind of Sn-based silver-graphene lead-free composite solder, including mixing a certain amount of graphene with sodium dodecyl sulfate, then adding a certain amount of dimethylformamide, sonicating for 2 hours, adding a certain amount of silver nitrate to the mixture, continuing the sonication and finally obtaining the homemade. The solders matrix powder is weighed according to different silver-graphene mass fraction required, then poured into a ball-milling tank milling for 5 h. The powder is poured into a stainless steel mold after drying, then placed under hydraulic pressure to 500 Mpa for pressure forming. Later, the cold-pressed cylinder is placed in a high vacuum tube resistance furnace and sintered at 175° C. for 2 hours. After cooling to room temperature, it is formed into a cylinder under the hydraulic press. In this invention, graphene modified with Ag particles is selected as a strengthening material so as to improve the load-transfer between the graphene modified by nano-silver and the Sn matrix, aiming to achieve better strengthening effect.

A bond is created between a gypsum matrix formed from an aqueous acidic gypsum slurry comprising a monomer mixture. The monomer mixture is composed of a monomer having acidic functionality and a monomer having hydroxyl or amine functionality. A silane-based sizing composition is coated onto glass fibers causing a cross-linking network of silane and monomer mixture to form during curing of the gypsum board. Hydrophilic water extraction at the gypsum matrix-sizing interface reduces void formation and promotes bonding with the crosslinked monomer mixture and growth of smaller gypsum crystals within larger crystals in microstructurally identifiable regions adjacent to the glass fiber.
