Mechanical properties of hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete at low fiber volume fraction

Concretes containing different types of hybrid fibers at the same volume fraction (0.5%) were compared in terms of compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural properties. Three types of hybrid composites were constructed using fiber combinations of polypropylene (PP) and carbon, carbon and steel, and steel and PP fibers. Test results showed that the fibers, when used in a hybrid form, could result in superior composite performance compared to their individual fiber-reinforced concretes. Among the three types of hybrids, the carbon-steel combination gave concrete of the highest strength and flexural toughness because of the similar modulus and the synergistic interaction between the two reinforcing fibers.     

Thermal and mechanical properties of a polypropylene nanocomposite

An experimental polypropylene (PP) nanocomposite, containing approximately 4 wt % of an organophilic montmorillonite clay, was prepared and characterized, and its properties were compared with those of talc‐filled (20–40 wt %) compositions. Weight reduction, with maintained or even improved flexural and tensile moduli, especially at temperatures up to 70°C, was a major driving force behind this work. By a comparison with the analytical data from a nylon 6 (PA‐6) nanocomposite, it was found that the PP nanocomposite contained well‐dispersed, intercalated clay particles; however, X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, dynamic mechanical analysis, and permeability measurements confirmed that exfoliation of the clay in PP was largely absent. The increased glass‐transition temperature (T_g) of a PA‐6 nanocomposite, which possessed fully exfoliated particles, indicated the molecular character of the matrix–particle interaction, whereas the PP nanocomposite exhibited simple matrix–filler interactions with no increase in T_g. The PP nanocomposite exhibited a weight reduction of approximately 12% in comparison with the 20% talc‐filled PP, while maintaining comparable stiffness. Undoubtedly, considerable advantages may be available if a fully exfoliated PP nanocomposite is fabricated; however, with the materials available, a combination of talc, or alternative reinforcements, and nanocomposite filler particles may provide optimum performance. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and characterization of novel polyesterimides

A series of soluble novel polyesterimides was synthesized from diamines [a mixture of 2,2‐bis(4‐(4‐aminophenoxy)phenyl)propane (BAPP) with amine‐terminated polysiloxane (ATPS) in various mole ratios] and the ester‐group‐containing dianhydrides. The ester group containing dianhydrides in turn was synthesized by the transesterification reaction of trimellitic anhydride (TMA) with diacetate ester of hydroquinone (HQ), 4,4′‐dihydrophenyl (BP), 1,6‐hexanediol, or ethylene glycol. The resulted polyesterimides were characterized by using Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy, inherent viscosity, solubility, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The polyesterimides of BP and HQ had relatively high glass transition temperatures in the range of 214.7–227.2 and 195.7–210.5°C, respectively. The glass transitions decreased rather slowly with the increase in polysiloxane content. Thermal stability and the weight‐loss behavior of polyesterimides were studied by TGA. All polyesterimides of BP and HQ (BPI and HQI) showed no significant weight loss below 500°C in a N₂ environment, and the decomposition temperatures (T_d5%) of BPI and HQI were >520°C. Most polyesterimides were soluble in polar aprotic solvents and m‐cresol. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 94: 730–738, 2004

Mechanical properties of a cryogenically mechanically alloyed polycarbonate–poly(aryl ether ether ketone) system

The processing–property relationship of a model cryogenically mechanically alloyed polymer–polymer system [polycarbonate (PC) and poly(aryl ether ether ketone) (PEEK)] was investigated. PC and PEEK powders were cryogenically mechanically alloyed for 10 h, and the resulting two‐phase powder particles were processed into testable coupons with a miniature ram‐injection molder. The bulk mechanical properties of the coupons made from the mechanically alloyed powders and nonmechanically alloyed powders were investigated as a function of mechanical alloying and injection‐molding parameters. The injection‐molded coupons were mechanically tested in the three‐point‐bending mode. The results demonstrated that no measurable improvement was achieved in the energy to break, strain at failure, or failure strength in the coupons made from the mechanically alloyed materials in comparison with those of the coupons made from the nonmechanically alloyed powders. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Reactive surfactants in heterophase polymerization. XVII. Influence of the surfactant on the mechanical properties and hydration of the films

In the context of a European union‐supported network on “Reactive Surfactants for Heterophase Polymerization,” different polymerizable surfactants (surfmers) have been synthesized and engaged in the emulsion polymerization of styrene, butyl acrylate, and acrylic acid. The thermomechanical properties of films cast from these different latices are reported in this article. The evolution of the mechanical properties with temperature and the effect of water molecules on these properties are studied. We observed that the studied surfactants do not influence the properties of the dry films. However, some differences due to grafting of reactive surfactants appeared when the films were wet. The amount of water uptake is drastically decreased when only reactive surfactants are present in the film. Concerning the mechanical behavior of the wet films, a decrease of the plastic flow stress is observed for all the samples whatever the nature of the surfactant (reactive or conventional). Hence, calorimetric measurements and dynamic mechanical analysis are used to identify the possible mechanisms that induce the change in the mechanical behavior of the latex films. In the case of reactive surfactant grafted to the polymer, the very low value of water uptake is accompanied by a plasticization of the polymer. In contrast, no plasticizing effect is observed in the case of nonreactive surfactant, even if the amount of water is very large. Finally, the tensile behavior of the styrene–butyl acrylate copolymer versus temperature is analyzed in the frame of the quasi point defects (qpd) model. Both rubber elasticity and chain orientation effects are taken into account to describe the behavior laws at large extensions (i.e., ? ≈ 1.2). © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

BPO和AIBN作引发剂对阳离子交换膜性能的影响

改进传统制备聚偏氟乙烯(PVDF)均相阳离子交换膜的方法,利用引发剂和浓硫酸磺化直接制备PVDF均相阳离子交换膜。通过溶剂蒸发法制备了含引发剂过氧化苯甲酰(BPO)和/或偶氮二异丁腈(AIBN)的PVDF阳离子交换膜,研究不同引发剂及其含量对膜结构和膜性能的影响。利用FE-SEM和FTIR分析了膜的形貌结构。结果表明:含有BPO的阳离子交换膜中PVDF与苯乙烯形成了半互穿网络结构,而含有AIBN的阳离子交换膜中苯乙烯接枝在线性PVDF链上并形成相分离结构。PVDF阳离子交换膜的结构和性能受膜制备时AIBN和BPO的添加量影响。当AIBN占PVDF5%(质量分数)、BPO占PVDF2%(质量分数)时,离子交换膜的膜电阻达最低值4.2Ω×cm~2,离子交换容量最高为1.59 meq/g;当AIBN占PVDF 3%(质量分数)、BPO占PVDF2%(质量分数)时,离子交换膜的迁移数为95.15%。最后通过循环伏安法和计时电位法进一步验证了引发剂对膜电阻和迁移数影响的实验结论。
