Interfacial improvement of carbon fiber-reinforced methylphenylsilicone resin composites with sizing agent containing functionalized carbon nanotubes

A liquid sizing agent containing multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was prepared for carbon fiber (CF) reinforced methylphenylsilicone resin (MPSR) composite applications. In order to improve the dispersion of MWCNTs in the sizing agent and interfacial adhesion between CF and MPSR, MWCNTs and CF were functioned by the chemical modification with tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) used as a MPSR curing agents. The CF before and after the sizing treatment-reinforced MPSR composites were prepared by a compression molding method. The microstructures, interfacial properties, and impact toughness of CF were systematically investigated. Experimental results revealed that a thin layer of MPSR coating containing functionalized MWCNTs (MWCNT-TEPA) was uniformly grafted onto the surface of CF. The sized CF-reinforced MPSR composite showed simultaneously remarkable enhancement in the interlaminar shear strength and impact toughness. Meanwhile, the tensile strength of CF had no obvious decrease after sizing treatment. In addition, the interfacial reinforcing and toughening mechanisms were also discussed. We believe that the facile and effective method in preparing multifunctional fibers provides a novel interface design strategy of carbon fiber composites for different applications.

Dielectric properties of epoxy composites with modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes

We report here a high dielectric percolative polymer nanocomposite, fabricated by a combination of triethylene-tetramine (TETA) modified multiwalled carbon nanotube (named as TETA-MWNT) within epoxy resin matrix. In this composite system, with various TETA-MWNT volume fractions, the dielectric constant (K) is well fitted by the scaling law of the percolation theory with the percolation threshold f _c is 0.042 and the critical exponent p is 0.786. At 1,000 Hz of room temperature, the value of the dielectric constant is as high as 421 with the TETA-MWNT content of 4.14vol%, which is almost 60 times higher than that of epoxy resin. In contrast, a simple blend of pristine MWNT in epoxy composite shows evident lower dielectric constant and much higher loss with the same volume fraction.

Improvements in interfacial and heat-resistant properties of carbon fiber/methylphenylsilicone resins composites by incorporating silica-coated multi-walled carbon nanotubes

The multi-scale reinforcement and interfacial strengthening on carbon fiber (CF)-reinforced methylphenylsilicone resin (MPSR) composites by adding silica-coated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (SiO₂-CNTs) were investigated. SiO₂-CNT has been successfully prepared via the hydrolysis of tetraethoxysilane in the presence of acid-oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy were carried out to examine the functional groups and structures of CNTs. Then, SiO₂-CNT was incorporated into MPSR matrix to prepare CF/MPSR-based composites by the compression molding method. The effects of the introduced SiO₂-CNT on the interfacial, impact, and heat-resistant properties of CF/MPSR composites were evaluated by short-beam bend method, impact test, and thermal oxygen aging experiments, respectively. Experimental results revealed that the CF/MPSR composites reinforced with 0.5 wt% SiO₂-CNT showed a significant increase 34.53% in the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and 20.10% in impact properties. Moreover, the heat-resistant properties of composites were enhanced significantly by adding SiO₂-CNT hybrid nanoparticles. These enhancements are mainly attributed to the improved matrix performance resulted from the molecular-level dispersion of SiO₂-CNT in MPSR matrix and the strong interfacial adhesion between SiO₂-CNT and matrix resin, which are beneficial to improve the mechanical stress transfer from MPSR matrix to CFs reinforcement and alleviate stress concentrations.

碳纳米管预处理方法对天然橡胶/纯化碳纳米管复合材料力学性能的影响

纯化后的碳纳米管(CNT)分别经过球磨、表面活性剂十二烷基苯磺酸钠或分散-黏合体系预处理,再与100份(质量)天然橡胶(NR)混炼,可制备NR/纯化CNT复合材料。结果表明,纯化CNT直接与NR混炼,前者在NR中的分散效果不好,二者的界面结合欠佳。纯化CNT经球磨后,团聚程度增加,对复合材料力学性能影响不大。经表面活性剂十二烷基苯磺酸钠处理后的纯化CNT,内聚能下降,用差示扫描量热法(DSC)测定复合材料的DSC曲线表明,复合材料的结晶熔融峰面积增大,力学性能降低。用分散-黏合体系处理纯化CNT,可同时提高纯化CNT在橡胶中的分散效果及界面黏合性,试样结晶熔融峰变得不明显,因此该复合材料的邵尔A型硬度提高,拉伸强度、300％定伸应力和撕裂强度等优于其他试样。

Mechanical properties of woodflour unsaturated polyester composites

Agrowastes and woodflour are a potential and attractive alternative of cheap reinforcement for brittle polymeric materials because they can reduce costs and, at the same time, improve certain properties. On the other hand, their high moisture sorption and low microbial resistance are disadvantages that need to be considered and, as far as possible, corrected. Polyester resins are widely used throughout the world, and can be processed with reinforcing agents very easily. In this work, the effect of the addition of chemically modified woodflour on the final properties of unsaturated polyester composites was studied. The filler was treated with an alkaline solution to increase its interfacial area and then modified with maleic anhydride (MAN) under severe reaction conditions (140°C, 24 h). No improvement in the mechanical behavior of polyester–woodflour composites was found when particles were only alkali treated, while the composites prepared with MAN-treated woodflour offered better performance under compressive loads. Simple mechanical models used to fit the experimental flexural behavior indicated that a good compatibility between filler and matrix was obtained regardless of the kind (treated or untreated) of reinforcement used. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Investigation into the morphological and mechanical properties of date palm fiber-reinforced epoxy structural composites

This study aims to examine the morphology and mechanical properties (tensile, flexural, and compressive) of epoxy composites reinforced with epoxy date palm leaves (EDPL), epoxy date palm branch (EDPB), and epoxy/hardener date palm core shell (EDPC) fibers (particle size <1 μm depend on the date palm fibers). A three-step technique was used to obtain the composites. The EDPL composites showed a maximum tensile strength of 3.45 MPa, while the EDPB composites showed maximum compressive and flexural rigidity of 9.46 and 5.55 MPa, respectively, owing to the good compatibility of fiber-matrix bonding. In this work, epoxy composites reinforced with date palm fibers (DPF) leaves, branches, and core shell were recycled using a cost-effective and easily reproducible three-step technique. EDPC fibers fabricated with 64.65% weight carbon fibers content demonstrated improved tensile strengths and stiffness properties. The three samples of palm date composites revealed mechanical properties that could be used to trial these fibers for manufacturing purposes, and to exploit their extraordinary mechanical properties shown in current results.

Effect of fiber surface treatment on mechanical,interfacial, and moisture absorption properties of cattail fiber-reinforced composites

Surface treatment of cattail, a lignocellulosic renewable fiber, was investigated to determine the conditions that would reduce moisture absorption while maximizing the properties of cattail fiber-reinforced unsaturated polyester composites. Surface modification of cattail fiber was studied by treating them with 2.5, 5, and 10% of 1,6-diisocyanatohexane (DIH) and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) for three different immersion times (10, 20, and 30 min). DIH-HEA treated fibers were preformed into a non-woven mat and impregnated with unsaturated polyester resin to manufacture composite. The existence of covalent bonds on the treated fibers via N H and C N groups was confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy. The 10% DIH-HEA resulted in the best results; while the mean diameter of the treated fiber decreased by ~37%, the modulus and the strength of it increased by ~267 and ~151%, respectively. Equilibrium moisture regain of the treated fibers and their composites decreased by ~43% and ~40%, respectively. The tensile modulus of the composites increased by ~171%. Enhancement in tensile strength is observed but could not be quantified due to the difference in V_f and scatter in the data. SEM examination confirmed the enhancement in fiber–matrix bonding due to surface treatment.
