초록
In this paper, layered boron carbide (B4C) particles were successfully synthesized by sol-gel-low temperature pyrolysis methodusing boron acid and glycerin as raw materials with self-made reduced graphene oxide (RGO) as additives. The structure ofthe sol-gel condensation product was analyzed by FT-IR. The phase, morphology and particle size of the B4C werecharacterized by XRD, FE-SEM and LPSA. The results showed that boron carbide was rhombic crystal phase, but the surfaceof the particles was wrinkled and more layered. The B4C powders with uniform morphology and some particle sizes less than100 nm were prepared with the RGO content of 0.6%. Testing the neutron-shielding properties of the polypropylene-B4Ccomposites suggested that neutron transmittance with the B4C content of 35 wt% was 94.1% lower (from 70.6% to 4.1%) thanneat polypropylene, and the total macroscopic absorption cross-section was about 18 times larger (from 0.0857 ± 0.0031 cm-1 to1.5521 ± 0.0008 cm-1). The relative density, fracture toughness and hardness of self-made B4C ceramics (sB4C) were higherthan the commercially available B4C ceramics (cB4C). This study provided a new method for the preparation of B4C powderswith excellent neutron absorption properties and good sintering activity.
Abstract
In this paper, layered boron carbide (B4C) particles were successfully synthesized by sol-gel-low temperature pyrolysis methodusing boron acid and glycerin as raw materials with self-made reduced graphene oxide (RGO) as additives. The structure ofthe sol-gel condensation product was analyzed by FT-IR. The phase, morphology and particle size of the B4C werecharacterized by XRD, FE-SEM and LPSA. The results showed that boron carbide was rhombic crystal phase, but the surfaceof the particles was wrinkled and more layered. The B4C powders with uniform morphology and some particle sizes less than100 nm were prepared with the RGO content of 0.6%. Testing the neutron-shielding properties of the polypropylene-B4Ccomposites suggested that neutron transmittance with the B4C content of 35 wt% was 94.1% lower (from 70.6% to 4.1%) thanneat polypropylene, and the total macroscopic absorption cross-section was about 18 times larger (from 0.0857 ± 0.0031 cm-1 to1.5521 ± 0.0008 cm-1). The relative density, fracture toughness and hardness of self-made B4C ceramics (sB4C) were higherthan the commercially available B4C ceramics (cB4C). This study provided a new method for the preparation of B4C powderswith excellent neutron absorption properties and good sintering activity.
