We explored the environmental aging behavior of banana‐fiber‐reinforced phenol formaldehyde (PF) composites. The composites were subjected to water aging, thermal aging, soil burial, and outdoor weathering. The effects of chemical modification and hybridization with glass fibers on the degradability of the composites in different environments were analyzed. The extent of degradation was measured by changes in the weight and tensile properties after aging. Absorbed water increased the weight of water‐aged composites, and chemical treatments and hybridization decreased water absorption. The tensile strength and modulus of the banana/PF composites were increased by water aging, whereas the strength and modulus of the glass/PF composites were decreased by water aging. As the glass‐fiber loading was increased in the hybrid composites, the increase in strength by water aging was reduced, and at higher glass‐fiber loadings, a decrease in strength was observed. The tensile properties of the composites were increased by oven aging. The percentage weight loss was higher for soil‐aged samples than for samples weathered outdoors. The weight loss and tensile strength of the glass/PF composites and banana/glass/hybrid/PF composites were much lower than those of the banana/PF composites. Silane treatment, NaOH treatment, and acetylation improved the resistance of the banana/PF composites on outdoor exposure and soil burial. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Microfibers and nanofibers were prepared from macro banana fibers by a steam explosion process. The fiber surface of chemically modified and unmodified banana fibers was investigated by atomic force microscopy, the studies revealed a reduction in fiber diameter during steam explosion followed by acid treatments. Zeta potential measurements were carried out to measure the acidic property of the fiber surface; the surface acidity was found to be increased from macrofibers to nanofibers. The thermal behavior of macrofibers, microfibers, and nanofibers were compared. Substantial increase in thermal stability was observed from macroscale to nanoscale, which proved the high thermal stability of nanofibers to processing conditions of biocomposite preparation. The composition of the fibers before and after steam explosion and acid hydrolysis were also analyzed using FT‐IR. It was found that the isolation of cellulose nanofibres occurs in the final step of the processing stage. Further macrocomposites, microcomposites, and nanocomposites were prepared and mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural and impact properties were measured and compared. The composites with small amount of nanofibers induces a significant increase in tensile strength (142%), flexural strength (280%), and impact strength (133%) of the phenol formaldehyde (PF) matrix, this increase is due to the interconnected web like structure of the nanofibers. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Two types of environmentally friendly jute‐fiber‐reinforced green composites based on Mesua ferrea L. were prepared with poly(urethane ester) and poly(urethane amide) resin blends with commercially available partially butylated melamine–formaldehyde and epoxy resins through solution impregnation and hot‐curing methods. The composites were cured at a temperature of about 130–140°C under a pressure of 35 ± 5 kg/cm2 for about 2 h. The mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, flexural strength, elongation at break, hardness, and density, of all of the composites were measured and compared. The mode of interaction between the filler and the matrix were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy of the fractured composite samples. The water uptake in different chemical media was observed, and we found that all of the composites possessed excellent hydrolytic stability against almost all of the media except the alkali. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to analyze the thermal behavior of the composites. TGA of the composites showed degradation much above that of the virgin blends, which indicated their high thermostability. The glass‐transition temperatures, as shown by DSC analysis, were found to be much higher. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010 相似文献

Short ramie fiber (RF) was used to reinforce the polypropylene (PP). The composites were prepared in a twin‐screw extruder followed by injection molding. The experimental results showed that both the strength and the modulus of the composites increase considerably with increasing RF content. The tensile strength and flexural strength are as high as 67 and 80 MPa by the incorporation of ramie up to 30 wt %. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the best results for short natural fiber‐reinforced PP composites. However, the preparation method in this study is more simple and economic. This short RF‐reinforced PP composites extend the application field for short‐nature fiber‐reinforced PP composites. Morphological analysis revealed that it is the high aspect ratio of the fiber and good interfacial compatibility that result in the high performance of the composites. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The water sorption characteristics of banana fiber–reinforced polyester composites were studied by immersion in distilled water at 28, 50, 70, and 90°C. The effect of hybridization with glass fiber and the chemical modification of the fiber on the water absorption properties of the prepared composites were also evaluated. In the case of hybrid composites, water uptake decreased with increase of glass fiber content. In the case of chemically modified fiber composites, water uptake was found to be dependent on the chemical treatment done on the fiber surface. Weight change profiles of the composites at higher temperature indicated that the diffusion is close to Fickian. The water absorption showed a multistage mechanism in all cases at lower temperatures. Chemical modification was found to affect the water uptake of the composite. Among the treated composites the lowest water uptake was observed for composites treated with silane A1100. Finally, parameters like diffusion, sorption, and permeability coefficients were determined. It was observed that equilibrium water uptake is dependent on the nature of the composite and temperature. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 91: 3856–3865, 2004 相似文献

Three kinds of surface treatment, that is, the alkalization (5% w/v NaOH aqueous solution), the deposition of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) from toluene solution (1% w/v DGEBA), and the alkalization combined with the deposition of DGEBA (5% w/v NaOH/1% w/v DGEBA) were applied to modify interfacial bonding and to enhance mechanical properties of pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) reinforced epoxy composites. The fiber strength and strain were measured by single fiber test and the fiber strength variation was assessed using Weibull modulus. Furthermore, a fragmentation test was used to quantify the interfacial adhesion of PALF‐epoxy composite. It was verified that the interfacial shear strength of modified PALFs was substantially higher than that of untreated PALF by almost 2–2.7 times because of the greater interaction between the PALFs and epoxy resin matrix. The strongest interfacial adhesion was obtained from the fibers that had been received the alkalization combined with DGEBA deposition. Moreover, the flexural and impact properties of unidirectional PALF‐epoxy composites were greatly enhanced when reinforced with the modified PALFs due to an improvement in interfacial adhesion, particularly in the synergetic use of 5% NaOH and 5% NaOH/1% DGEBA. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This article presents the results of a study of the processing and physicomechanical properties of environmentally friendly wood‐fiber‐reinforced poly(lactic acid) composites that were produced with a microcompounding molding system. Wood‐fiber‐reinforced polypropylene composites were also processed under similar conditions and were compared to wood‐fiber‐reinforced poly(lactic acid) composites. The mechanical, thermomechanical, and morphological properties of these composites were studied. In terms of the mechanical properties, the wood‐fiber‐reinforced poly(lactic acid) composites were comparable to conventional polypropylene‐based thermoplastic composites. The mechanical properties of the wood‐fiber‐reinforced poly(lactic acid) composites were significantly higher than those of the virgin resin. The flexural modulus (8.9 GPa) of the wood‐fiber‐reinforced poly(lactic acid) composite (30 wt % fiber) was comparable to that of traditional (i.e., wood‐fiber‐reinforced polypropylene) composites (3.4 GPa). The incorporation of the wood fibers into poly(lactic acid) resulted in a considerable increase in the storage modulus (stiffness) of the resin. The addition of the maleated polypropylene coupling agent improved the mechanical properties of the composites. Microstructure studies using scanning electron microscopy indicated significant interfacial bonding between the matrix and the wood fibers. The specific performance evidenced by the wood‐fiber‐reinforced poly(lactic acid) composites may hint at potential applications in, for example, the automotive and packaging industries. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A novel composite material consisting of polypropylene (PP) fibers in a random poly(propylene‐co‐ethylene) (PPE) matrix was prepared and its properties were evaluated. The thermal and mechanical properties of PP–PPE composites were studied by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) with reference to the fiber concentration. Although, by increasing PP fiber concentration in PPE, no significant difference was found in melting and crystallization temperatures of the PPE, the storage, and the tensile and flexural modulus of the composites increased linearly with fiber concentrations up to 50%, 1.5, 1.0, 1.3 GPa, respectively, which was approximately four times higher than that for the pure PPE. There is a shift in glass transition temperature of the composite with increasing fiber concentration in the composite and the damping peak became flatter, which indicates the effectiveness of fiber–matrix interaction. A higher concentration of long fibers (>50% w/w) resulted in fiber packing problems, difficulty in dispersion, and an increase in void content, which led to a reduction in modulus. Cox–Krenchel and Haplin–Tsai equations were used to predict tensile modulus of random fiber‐reinforced composites. A Cole–Cole analysis was performed to understand the phase behavior of the composites. A master curve was constructed based on time–temperature superposition (TTS) by using data over the temperature range from −50 to 90°C, which allowed for the prediction of very long and short time behavior of the composite. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this work, we investigated the thermal behaviour of a carbon‐fibre composite impregnated with nano‐alumina‐based nanocomposites. First of all, we demonstrated that it is possible to obtain good dispersion and distribution of nanoparticles by mechanical mixing. In all the studied filler percentages, the presence of the ceramic filler did not affect the processability of the blends and the mechanical properties of the composites. First, the thermal stability of the nanocomposites was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Then, the fire reaction of the fibre‐reinforced composites was studied at different heat fluxes, by TGA, cone calorimeter and exposure to a direct flame. In presence of an oxidizing hyperthermal environment, the experimental data suggested the role of ceramic particles as anti‐oxidizer agent for the char and the carbon fibres. Moreover, the use of alumina nanoparticles allowed a slight reduction of heat release rate. Particularly at a heat flux of 35 kW/m2, the burnt material containing the higher quantity of nano‐alumina maintained a residual structural integrity because of the higher presence of char that bound together the fibres. To estimate the integrity of the composites after exposure to a direct flame (heat flux 500 kW/m2), mechanical tests were carried out on the burnt specimens.

The water absorption pattern and associated dimensional changes and solid loss of oil palm fiber–linear low density polyethylene composites was studied. The effects of fiber size (425–840, 177–425, and 75–177 μ), fiber loading (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50%), and time of immersion (192 h at an interval of 24 h) on these parameters were also studied. Alkali treatment of fibers was done to reduce the hydrophilic nature of the composites and its effect was studied. It was found that the water absorption in most of the combinations followed typical Fickian behavior. The rate of water absorption and swelling increased with fiber loading. However, alkali treatment of the fibers resulted in a reduction of water absorption at higher fiber loadings only, and composites with higher fiber sizes exhibited higher water absorption. A sharp increase in the thickness swelling was observed in the initial days of immersion, which remained constant thereafter. The thickness swelling also increased with fiber size; however, a constant trend was not observed for the 75–177 μ fiber size. In addition to thickness swelling, composites also expanded linearly during water absorption; however, linear expansion was considerably less than thickness swelling. Higher fiber loading and alkali treatment caused more linear expansion. We observed that maximum solid loss on water immersion occurred with small‐sized and also alkali‐treated fiber composites. An increase in thickness and a decrease in linear dimension were observed after one sorption–desorption cycle. This irreversible change was also found to be proportional to fiber loading and alkali treatment. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010 相似文献

The article describes the effect of structure of vinyl ester resins (VE) on the mechanical properties of neat sheets as well as glass fabric‐reinforced composites. Different samples of VE were prepared by reacting ester of hexahydrophthalic anhydride (ER) and methacrylic acid (MAA) (1 : 1 molar ratio) followed by reaction of monomethacrylate terminated epoxy resin with glutaric (E) or adipic (F) or sebacic acid (G) (2 : 1 molar ratio). The neat VE were diluted with styrene and sheets were fabricated by using a glass mold. A significant reduction in the mechanical properties was observed by increasing the methylene content of resin backbone (i.e., sample E to G). Glass fabric‐reinforced composites were fabricated by vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) technique. Resin content in the laminates was 50 ± 5 wt %. Increase in the number of methylene groups in the vinyl ester resin (i.e., increasing the bridge length) did not show any significant effect on limiting oxygen index (LOI) value (21 ± 1) of the laminates but tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength, and flexural modulus all increased though these values are significantly lower than observed in laminates based on resin B. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Glass fiber/epoxy composites were thermally conditioned at 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250°C for different periods of time and then immediately quenched directly in ice‐cold water from each stage of conditioning temperature. The polymerization or depolymerization by thermal conditioning and the debonding effect by concurrently following thermal shock in polymer composites are assessed in the present study. The short‐beam shear tests were performed at room temperature on the quenched samples to evaluate the value of interlaminar shear strength of the composites. The short conditioning time followed by thermal shock resulted in reduction of shear strength of the composites. The strength started regaining its original value with longer conditioning time. Conditioning at 250°C and thereafter quenching yielded a sharp and continuous fall in the shear strength. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 100: 2062–2066, 2006 相似文献

Phenol formaldehyde was filled with glass powder (GP) to optimize the strength and impact toughness of the composite for structural applications by a research center at the University of Southern Queensland. To reduce costs, the center wished to fill as much of the glass microspheres as possible to maintain sufficient strength and impact toughness in the composites in structural applications. In this project, we varied the weight percentages of the GP in the composites, which were then subjected to tensile tests. The best weight percentage of GP that could be added to the phenolic resin to give the optimum yield, tensile strengths, Young's modulus, and cost was found to be about 10%. The contribution of this study was the finding that if the tensile properties are the most important factors to be considered in the applications of the composites, GP is not a suitable filler. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This article focuses on the analysis of the curing kinetics of carbon‐fiber‐reinforced bismaleimide (BMI) composites during microwave (MW) curing. A nonisothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method was used to obtain an accurate kinetic model. The degree of curing, chemical characterization, and glass‐transition temperature of the resin and composites cured by thermal and MW heating were analyzed with DSC, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and dynamic mechanical analysis. The experimental results indicate that MW accelerated the crosslinking reaction of the BMI resin and had different effects on the reaction processes, especially for the glass‐transition temperature and chemical bonds. However, the curing reaction rate of the BMI resin decreased when the carbon fibers were added to the BMI resin during thermal and MW curing. According to the experimental results, the curing kinetic model of the BMI composite was used to provide a theoretical foundation for MW curing analysis. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.

The incorporation of natural fibers with polymer matrix composites (PMCs) has increasing applications in many fields of engineering due to the growing concerns regarding the environmental impact and energy crisis. The objective of this work is to examine the effect of fiber orientation and fiber content on properties of sisal‐jute‐glass fiber‐reinforced polyester composites. In this experimental study, sisal‐jute‐glass fiber‐reinforced polyester composites are prepared with fiber orientations of 0° and 90° and fiber volume of sisal‐jute‐glass fibers are in the ratio of 40:0:60, 0:40:60, and 20:20:60 respectively, and the experiments were conducted. The results indicated that the hybrid composites had shown better performance and the fiber orientation and fiber content play major role in strength and water absorption properties. The morphological properties, internal structure, cracks, and fiber pull out of the fractured specimen during testing are also investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Calorimetry, coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), and tensile modulus were recorded to investigate the effect of thermal cycling on polyphenylene sulfides (PPS) carbon fiber composites. Thermal cycling at higher temperatures increased the degree of crystallinity of PPS, as indicated by increasing heat of melting. CTE measurements during thermal cycling were used to study the anisotropy of the composites in directions parallel and transverse to the fiber orientation. It was noted that increasing crystallinity enhanced the tensile modulus of unidirectional composites, while reducing the tensile modulus of quasi‐isotropic composites. The latter reduction may be due to internal damage or interlaminar slippage associated with the residual thermal stresses caused by thermal mismatch between multiply oriented plies. POLYM.

Composites of natural rubber (NR) and short pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) were prepared on a laboratory two‐roll mill. The influences of untreated fiber content and orientation on the processing and mechanical properties of the composites were investigated. The dependence of extent of orientation on fiber concentration was also established. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solutions (1, 3, 5, and 7% w/v) and benzoyl peroxide (BPO) (1, 3, and 5 wt % of fiber) were used to treat the surfaces of PALFs. FTIR and scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations were made of the treatments in terms of chemical composition and surface structure. The tensile strength and elongation at break of the composites were later studied. The fiber–matrix adhesion was also investigated using SEM technique. It was found that all surface modifications enhanced adhesion and tensile properties. The treatments with 5% NaOH and 1% BPO provided the best improvement of composite strength (28 and 57% respectively) when compared with that of untreated fiber. The PALF‐NR composites also exhibited better resistance to aging than its gum vulcanizate, especially when combined with the treated fibers. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thermal behavior of oil palm fiber‐reinforced phenol–formaldehyde (PF) resins with different chemical treatments were analyzed using Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC). A well‐defined peak of crystallization was observed in all the samples. However, in one of them a second exothermic peak also emerged, which indicates some structural changes at high temperature. Crystallization kinetics has been studied in terms of activation energy of crystallization, dimensionality of growth and stability using various recent theories developed for nonisothermal crystallization. The results indicate the surface nucleation and crystallization through one‐dimensional growth. Thermal stability of PF composites increases after chemical treatment, and is maximum for resin treated with peroxide PF composite in comparison to fiber‐treated PF composites. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The utilization of disposable chopsticks is very popular in Taiwan, China, and Japan and is one of the major sources of waste in these countries. In this study, recycled disposable chopstick fiber was chemically modified. Subsequently, this modified fiber and polypropylene‐graft‐maleic anhydride were added to polypropylene (PP) to form novel fiber‐reinforced green composites. A heat‐deflection temperature (HDT) test showed an increase of approximately 81% for PP with the addition of 60‐phr fibers, and the HDT of the composite could reach up to 144.8°C. In addition, the tensile strength, Young's modulus, and impact strength were 66, 160.3, and 97.1%, respectively, when the composite material was 40‐phr fibers. Furthermore, this type of reinforced PP would be more environmentally friendly than an artificial‐additive‐reinforced one. It could also effectively reduce and reuse the waste of disposable chopsticks and lower the costs of the materials. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2012 相似文献

The friction‐resistant sisal fiber/nano‐silica phenol formaldehyde resin composites were prepared through compression molding. To enhance the bonding between the sisal fiber (SF) and polymer matrix, SF were treated with different surface modifiers. The worn surfaces of composites were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The result shows that the matrix of nano‐silica phenol formaldehyde resin can relieve the heat fade of the friction materials. Meanwhile sisal fibers treated with borax have effectively improved the friction and wear properties of the composites when the fiber content was 15%. POLYM.
