A thermal-elastoplastic constitutive model is proposed for particle-filled composites in this paper. Particles are assumed to be linear thermoelastic while the matrix follows the thermal-elastoplastic responses with the generalized Ramberg-Osgood relation. Based on the micromechanics methodology and homogenization procedures, the effective thermal-mechanical constitutive functions are derived including the macroscopic Helmholtz free energy and the macroscopic yield function.First, it is assumed that in the case of plastic unloading or stress-strain state being in the macroscopic yield surface, the constitutive relation of the composites is linear thermoelastic expressed by the macroscopic Helmholtz free energy. The micromechanics-based thermoelastic properties of the composite are obtained including the effective elastic moduli, thermal expansion coefficients, and specific heats.Furthermore, with the concept of linear comparison composites, the variational principle is extended to consider the thermal effect, from which the lower bound of the macroscopic stress potential for the nonlinear composites can be computed. The associated macroscopic plastic strain is defined, and the macroscopic yield function in the temperature-strain space is therefore determined.Finally, the above two constitutive functions are combined with the thermal-elastoplastic constitutive theory proposed by Huang (1994) to develop the loading-unloading criterion in the temperature-strain space and the incremental thermal-elastoplastic constitutive relations for particulate composites. The results can be useful in the study of the thermomechanical behavior of particle-filled composites at elevated temperatures.

After the premier commercialization of OLED in 1997, OLED has been considered as the candidate for the next generation of flat panel display. In comparison to liquid crystal display (LCD) and plasma display panel (PDP), OLED exhibits promising merits for display, e. g., flexible, printable, micro-buildable and multiple designable. Although many efforts have been made on electroluminescent (EL) materials and devices, obtaining highly efficient and pure blue light is still a great challenge. In order to improve the emission efficiency and purity of the blue emission, a new bipolar blue light emitter, 2,7-di(2,2': 6', 2 `'-terpyridine)- 2,7-diethynyl-9,9-dioctyl-9H-fluorene (TPEF), was designed and synthesized. A blue OLED was obtained with the configuration of ITO/PEDOT/PVK:CBP:TPEF/LiF/Al. The device exhibits a turn-on voltage of 9 V and a maximum brightness of 12 cd/m(2) at 15 V. The device gives a deep blue emission located at 420 nm with the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.17, 0.10). We also use TPEF as electron transporting material in the device of ITO/PPV/TPEF/LiF/Al, the turn-on voltage is 3 V. It is proved the current in the device was enhanced indeed by using the new material.
The energy band of red light-emitting materials is usually very narrow, which easily results in non-radiative recombination of excited states. There also exists concentration q(1)uenching effect due to strong pi-pi interaction. To avoid this, host-guest doping system is mostly used. On the other hand, the ratio of singlet and triplet excited state caused by recombination is 1:3. In comparison with the fluorescence (singlet to singlet), phosphorescence (triplet to singlet, but spin-forbidden) is much weaker, and the quantum yield is much lower. To enhance it and make full use of triplet excited state energy, heavy atom effect is commonly used to induce strong spin-orbital coupling leading to mix of singlet and triplet and release the forbidden triplet energy. Based on this, we fabricated polymer light-emitting diodes adopting polyvinylcarbazole (PVK) as the host and a red fluorescent dye, 2-\2-methyl-6-[2-(2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-1H, 5H-pyrido[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-9-yl)-vinyl]-pyran-4-ylidene\-alononitril e (DCM2), as the dopant, and materials containing heavy-ion, kalium idode (KI) and bromo-carbazole, as energy transfer bridge to obtain complete energy transfer from excited states of both singlet and triplet energy level of PVK to ground state of singlet of DCM2. We found the current density of devices with heavy-ion materials were higher than device without it, and the weak blue emission from PVK host, existing in device of PVK:DCM2 device, can not be observed in electroluminescence spectra of device with heavy-ion materials, which indicates a complete energy transfer from both triplet and singlet energy levels.
