Mechanical properties of surface‐modified ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene fiber reinforced natural rubber composites

The mechanical properties of ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers reinforced natural rubber (NR) composites were determined, and the effects of fiber surface treatment and fiber mass fraction on the mechanical properties of the composites were investigated. Chromic acid was used to modify the UHMWPE fibers, and the results showed that the surface roughness and the oxygen‐containing groups on the surface of the fibers could be effectively increased. The NR matrix composites were prepared with as‐received and chromic acid treated UHMWPE fibers added 0–6 wt%. The treated UHMWPE fibers increased the elongation at break, tear strength, and hardness of the NR composites, especially the tensile stress at a given elongation, but reduced the tensile strength. The elongation at break increased markedly with increasing fiber mass fraction, attained maximum values at 3.0 wt%, and then decreased. The tear strength and hardness exhibited continuous increase with increasing the fiber content. Several microfibrillations between the fiber and NR matrix were observed from SEM images of the fractured surfaces of the treated UHMWPE fibers/NR composites, which meant that the interfacial adhesion strength was improved.

Radiation‐induced graft copolymerization of MMA monomer onto UHMWPE: Adhesion improvement

Graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate monomer onto ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and acid‐etched UHMWPE was conducted using preirradiation method in air in the presence of a Mohr salt and sulfuric acid to improve adhesion to the bone cement. The grafted samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, gravimetric method, goniometry, and interfacial bonding strength measurements. The FTIR results showed the presence of ether, carbonyl, and hydroxyl groups for grafted films. The gravimetric results showed that the chromic acid etching and graft copolymerization had a synergetic effect so, the irradiated, then chromic acid etched at room temperature and grafted sample (Rad etch25) had the highest grafting degree. The interfacial bonding strength between UHMWPE and poly methyl methacrylate bone cement was considerably improved by graft copolymerization and chromic acid etching. The surface morphology was studied by scanning electron microscopy. The substitution of polar groups into the backbone of UHMWPE by chromic acid etching and graft copolymerization changed its contact angles with water and methylene iodide and increased its surface energy, as evidenced by contact angle measurements. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Irradiation grafting of methyl methacrylate monomer onto ultra‐high‐molecular‐weight polyethylene: An experimental design approach for improving adhesion to bone cement

The grafting of methyl methacrylate (MMA) onto ultra‐high‐molecular‐weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and chromic acid etched UHMWPE was conducted with a preirradiation method in air in the presence of a Mohr salt and sulfuric acid. The grafted samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, a gravimetric method, differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and interfacial bonding strength measurements. The FTIR results showed the presence of ether and carbonyl groups in the MMA‐grafted UHMWPE (MMA‐g‐UHMWPE) samples. The Taguchi experimental design method was used to find the best degree of grafting (DG) and bonding strength. The efficient levels for different variables were calculated with an analysis of variance of the results. SEM micrographs of MMA‐g‐UHMWPE samples showed that with increasing DG and chromic acid etching, the MMA‐g‐UHMWPE rich phase increased on the surface; this confirmed the high interfacial bonding strength of the grafted samples with bone cement. The grafting of the MMA units onto UHMWPE resulted in a lower crystallinity, and the crystallization process proceeded at a higher rate for the MMA‐g‐UHMWPE samples compared to the initial UHMWPE; this suggested that the MMA grafted units acted as nucleating agents for the crystallization of UHMWPE. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The relationship between zeta-potential and pull-out shear strength on modified UHMWPE fiber reinforced epoxy composites

UHMWPE fiber exhibits high performance, featuring high tensile strength and modulus, because of its extended chain structure. However, this fiber demonstrates some defects, such as low melting point, creep, and poor interfacial bonding with resin. Therefore, it is still not widely applied in composites. This research attempted to improve the performance by applying interfacial treatment to the fiber, using polypyrrole (PPy) synthesized through oxidation. The interfacial shear strength was evaluated using the results of a pull-out test and a Zeta Potential. The UHMWPE fiber was exposed to PPy treatment at various temperatures. The PPy-modified fiber was then impregnated with epoxy to generate the composites. The effects of the modification were also examined. The performance of the composites was determined by the Zeta Potentials of the fiber and resin, using an EKA electrokinetic analyzer. The interfacial shear strength was determined by the pull-out test. The morphology of fiber was observed by SEM. Results show that the shear strength of the interface between the PPy-treated UHMWPE fiber and epoxy increased 215%. The correlation between the Zeta Potential and the interfacial shear strength was also observed.
