Polypropylene (PP)/aluminum hydroxide (ATH) composites were prepared in a melt mixer with addition of polypropylene functionalized with vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) as a coupling agent. The effects of ATH and PP‐VTES on the melt flow indices (MFI), tensile properties, decomposition temperatures, and flame retardancy of composites were analyzed. It was verified that increased ATH concentration reduced MFI and tensile properties, but increased the decomposition temperature under oxidative atmosphere and improved the flammability properties. Addition of PP modified with VTES slightly improved tensile strength and maximum elongation and granted the best results for the flammability tests of the materials showing that it can be an effective coupling agent for PP/ATH composites. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this work, poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)/organoclay nanocomposites with three different types of nanoclays (Cloisite 30B, Somasif JAD400, and Somasif JAD230) were prepared by melt mixing with a laboratory kneader followed by compression molding. The nanocomposites were characterized by atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Their crystallization behavior on a hot stage was investigated with polarized optical microscopy. The size and regularity of the spherulites of the PEO matrix were altered significantly by the incorporation of Cloisite 30B, but there was not as much variation with the other two clays. The dynamic viscoelastic behavior of the PEO/organoclay nanocomposites was assessed with a strain‐controlled parallel‐plate rheometer. The effects of clay modification on the thermomechanical and rheological properties were addressed. The reinforcing effect of the organoclay was determined with dynamic mechanical analysis and tensile testing. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010 相似文献

Nanocomposites of polypropylene with montmorillonite modified with dimethyldioctadecylammonium ions were prepared and the effect of compatibilizers on the mechanical and permeation properties was investigated. Compatibilizers were selected on the basis of their chemical nature, molecular weight, amount of grafting and location of the polar groups. Addition of small amount of compatibilizers led to improvements in the basal spacings of clay platelets indicating enhanced exfoliation. The modulus of the composites increased as compared with the values without compatibilizer. The oxygen permeation through the composite films either increased or remained unaffected due to possible interfacial free volume enhancement owing to the incompatibility of the surface modification and the compatibilizer. Increasing the amount of compatibilizer also increased correspondingly the extent of exfoliation. The modulus reached a plateau value after which the increasing compatibilizer led to its decrease. The gas permeation through the composite films remained unchanged with increase in the amount of compatibilizer owing to a possible balance between the decrease in permeation due to path tortuity and exfoliation and increase in permeation due to interfacial incompatibility. The improving exfoliation improved the yield and break stress indicating that the absence of tactoids can hinder the premature failure owing to better stress transfer. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The effect of the delignification of hornbeam fibers on the mechanical properties of wood fiber–polypropylene (PP) composites was studied. Original fibers and delignified fibers at three levels of delignification were mixed with PP at a weight ratio of 40:60 in an internal mixer. Maleic anhydride (0.5 wt %) as the coupling agent and dicumyl peroxide (0.1 wt %) as the initiator were applied. The produced composites were then hot‐pressed, and specimens for physical and mechanical testing were prepared. The results of the properties of the composite materials indicate that delignified fibers showed better performance in the enhancement of tensile strength and tensile modulus, whereas the hardness of the composites was unaffected by delignification. Delignified fibers also exhibited better water absorption resistance. Notched impact strength was higher for delignified fiber composites, but it was reduced at higher delignification levels. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 102: 4759–4763, 2006 相似文献

Syndiotactic polypropylenes (sPPs) with several microstructures (i.e., syndiotacticities and molecular weights) and synthesized by means of two metallocenic catalysts were melt‐blended with 1 and 3 wt % organophilic layered silicates in the presence of a compatibilizer. X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analysis showed that the clay was well dispersed in the composites, although the filler morphology depended on the polymer microstructure. Polypropylenes with low syndiotacticities and molecular weights presented the best clay dispersion. Nonisothermal differential scanning calorimetry analysis showed that the polymer microstructure and the clay content modified the thermal behavior of the composites. The compatibilizer and the clay acted as nucleant agents to increase the crystallization temperature of the matrix. Moreover, the double endothermic peak observed during heating scan and associated with the melt/recrystallization/remelt processes of the pure polymer matrix was reduced in the composites. With regard to the mechanical properties under tensile conditions, a synergic effect of the compatibilizer and the clay was observed. In particular, the addition of the compatibilizer alone was able to increase by about 20% the elastic modulus relative to the neat samples, whereas increases between 35 and 50% were measured when the clay was also added, depending on the polymer microstructure. Our results show that the microstructure of sPPs had strong effects on the behavior of its composites with clay in the presence of a compatibilizer. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The effect of oxidized polypropylene (OPP) as new compatibilizer on the water absorption and mechanical properties of wood flour–polypropylene (PP) composites were studied and compared with maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP). The oxidation of PP was performed in the molten state in the presence of air. Wood flour, PP, and the compatibilizers (OPP and MAPP) were mixed in an internal mixer at temperature of 190°C. The amorphous composites removed from the mixer were then pressed into plates that had a nominal thickness of 2 mm and nominal dimensions of 15 × 15 cm2 with a laboratory hydraulic hot press at 190°C. Physical and mechanical tests showed that the wood flour–PP composites with OPP exhibited higher flexural and impact properties but lower water absorption than MAPP. All of the composites with 2% compatibilizers (OPP and MAPP) gave higher flexural and impact properties and lower water absorption compared to those with 4% compatibilizers. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The effect of nanoclay additive on the structure, morphology, and mechanical properties of polypropylene meltblown webs is reported here for the first time. Effect of nanoclay on the meltblown processing, resultant fiber web structure, and properties are discussed. Combination of wide‐angle x‐ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and transmission electron microscopy were used to determine the nature of clay dispersion in the polypropylene fiber matrix and resultant morphology. Transmission electron microscopy micrographs revealed nanolevel dispersion of the additive in the fiber web. Clay additive did not offer any benefit as far as the mechanical properties of the meltblown web are concerned. Meltblown web samples with nanoclay had higher variability in web structure, high air permeability, high stiffness, and lower mechanical properties. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This research examines the effect of a microsize/nanosize talc filler on the physicochemical and mechanical properties of filled polypropylene (108MF10 and 33MBTU from Saudi Basic Industries Corp. and HE125MO grade from Borealis) composite matrices. A range of mechanical properties were measured [tensile properties, bending properties, fracture toughness, notched impact strength (at the ambient temperature and ?20°C), strain at break, and impact strength] along with microhardness testing and thermal stability testing from 40 to 600°C as measured by differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetric analysis. Increasing filler content lead to an increase in the mechanical strength of the composite material with a simultaneous decrease in the fracture toughness. The observed increase in tensile strength ranged from 15 to 25% (the maximum tensile strength at break was found to be 22 MPa). The increase in mechanical strength simultaneously led to a higher brittleness, which was reflected in a decrease in the mean impact strength from the initial 18 kJ/m2 (for the virgin polypropylene sample) to 14 kJ/m2, that is, a 23% decrease. A similar dependency was also obtained for the samples conditioned at ?20°C (a decrease of 12.5%). With increasing degree of filling of the talc–polypropylene composite matrix, the thermooxidative stability increased; the highest magnitude was obtained for the 20 wt % sample (decomposition temperature = 482°C, cf. 392°C for the virgin polymer). © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

With the rising cost of petroleum‐based fibers, the utilization of plant fibers in the manufacture of polymer–matrix composites is gaining importance worldwide. The scope of this study was to examine the perspective of the use of pineapple leaf fibers (PALFs) as reinforcements for polypropylene (PP). These fibers are environmentally friendly, low‐cost byproducts of pineapple cultivation and are readily available in the northeastern region of India. Here, both untreated and treated pineapple fibers were used. Maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MA‐g‐PP) was used as a compatibilizing agent. The polymer matrix of PP was used to prepare composite specimens with different volume fractions (5–20%) of fibers by the addition of 5% of MA‐g‐PP. These specimens were tested for their mechanical properties, and additional assessments were made via observations by scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and IR spectroscopy. Increase in the impact behavior, flexural properties, and tensile moduli of the composites were noticed, and these were more appreciable in the treated fibers mixed with MA‐g‐PP. PALF in 10 vol % in PP mixed with MA‐g‐PP was the optimum and recommended composition, where the flexural properties were the maximum. The impact strength and the tensile modulus were also considerably high. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008 相似文献

The main aim of this work was to study and compare the mechanical and thermal properties of hybrid polypropylene (PP) composites and single‐filler PP composites. With two main types of mineral fillers—calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and talc—PP composites of different filler weight ratios (talc/CaCO3) were compounded with a twin‐screw extruder and then injection‐molded into dumbbell specimens with an injection‐molding machine. Tensile, flexural, and impact tests were performed to determine and compare the mechanical properties of the hybrid and single‐filler PP composites. A synergistic hybridization effect was successfully achieved; the flexural strength and impact strength were highest among the hybrids when the PP/talc/CaCO3 weight ratio was 70:15:15. The nucleating ability of the fillers and its effects on the mechanical properties were also studied with differential scanning calorimetry. Because of the influence of talc as the main nucleating agent, the hybrid fillers showed significant improvements in terms of the nucleating ability, and this contributed to the increase in or retention of the mechanical properties of the hybrid composites. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The effect of multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) dimensions and surface modification on the morphology, mechanical reinforcement, and electrical properties of PP‐based composites, prepared by melt mixing, has been studied. The MWCNTs of small (d < 10 nm) and large (d = 40–60 nm) diameters with various intrinsic aspect ratios (L/d) have been used as filler. Transmission electron microscopy and very cold neutrons (VCN) scattering showed that both as‐received and surface modified small diameter MWCNT(1)s exhibit a strong tendency to bundle or cluster together in melt compared to both long MWCNT(3)s and short MWCNT(2)s large diameter nanotubes. The fractions of isolated nanotubes are higher and the mass‐fractal dimensions are lower for thick MWCNT‐based nanocomposites. The nanotubes of all types are heterogeneous nucleation sites for PP crystallization. The tensile and DMA testing results revealed that both long thick MWCNT(3)s with L/d ≈ 300 and thin MWCNT(1)s with highest intrinsic L/d > 1000 exhibit similar reinforcing effects, because drastically decreasing the effective aspect ratio (L/d)eff of the thin flexibly nanotubes within polymer matrix. The nanocomposites based on the long large diameter MWCNT(3)s demonstrated the lowest percolation threshold equal to 1.5 vol % loading, highest dielectric and electromagnetic waves shielding properties. It was concluded that the choice of optimal diameter and length of MWCNTs is right approach to the improvement in the dispersion state and straightness of multiwelled carbon nanotubes in polymer melt as well as to enhancement of their efficiency as reinforcing and conductive nanosized filler. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The effects of the bark content on the water absorption and thickness swelling of wood–plastic composites prepared from polypropylene, wood flour, and bark flour were studied. Samples were made with a laboratory twin‐screw extruder. The results showed that among composites free of maleic anhydride polypropylene, those composites containing a higher bark flour content exhibited lower water absorption and lower thickness swelling. Maleic anhydride polypropylene reduced water absorption and thickness swelling in composites containing wood flour and a lower content of bark flour but had no influence on the hygroscopic properties of composites made with higher bark contents. Adding maleic anhydride polypropylene had no effect on the water diffusion coefficients and swelling rate parameters of composites made with a higher bark flour content. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A novel self‐supported emulsion‐based catalyst and a conventional MgCl2‐supported Ziegler–Natta catalyst were used in the copolymerization of propylene and ethylene under industrial conditions using triethyl aluminium as cocatalyst and dicyclopentyl dimethoxy silane as external donor. The effects of the concentration of ethylene and hydrogen on the polymerization behaviors and polymer properties were investigated. The combined effect of both ethylene and hydrogen increased the relative activity of the novel catalyst more than for the conventional catalyst. This trend was consistent with our earlier observed higher degree of dormancy, due to 2,1 insertions, found with the novel catalyst. More importantly, the work has uncovered that the self‐supported catalyst incorporates ethylene in a more random fashion and produces copolymers with relatively narrow molecular weight distribution (MWD). These results in combination with polymer microstructure studies using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 13C‐NMR spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry all indicated that the novel catalyst has a narrower distribution of active site types than the conventional reference catalyst. The narrow composition of active site structures, the narrow MWD, and the random incorporation of ethylene into the polymer chain indicated that the emulsion‐based catalyst possesses features that to a certain degree tend to be more indicative for a single‐site‐like catalyst structure and behavior. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Blends of poly(propylene) (PP) and poly(ethylene terephthalate‐co‐isophthalate) (co‐PET) (95/5) with and without compatibilizing agent (maleic anhydride PP), as well as composites of these blends with glass beads (50 wt%) with and without silane coupling agent surface‐treatment, were prepared and studied on a basis of the material microstructure and thermomechanical properties. Infrared and Raman spectroscopy, as well as transmission electron microscopy, displayed evidence of MAPP compatibilizing action for the blend. Differential scanning calorimetry showed a remarkable effect of nucleation rate increase exerted by co‐PET on the PP crystallization. Moreover, glass beads were found to increase the PP nucleation rate slightly. PP crystallinity hardly varied with the composition. Wide angle X‐ray diffraction allowed determination of differences in the orientation of the poly(propylene) b‐axis, with more homogeneous orientations in the presence of both co‐PET and glass beads. MAPP promoted the PP b‐axis orientation. Differences in PP α′ relaxation could be analyzed through dynamic‐mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In situ microfibrillar composites (PP/mPA66) of modified polyamide66 (mPA66) with polypropylene (PP) were prepared by using a “post‐compatibilization” technique. The mPA66 was firstly obtained by reactive extrusion of PA66 resin with a specially designed compatibilizer, which was then blended with PP through extrusion combined with a hot stretching and subsequently quenching process. The PP/mPA66 in situ microfibrillar composites were comparatively studied with simply blended samples of PP/PA66 that were prepared by blending PA66 and PP together with (or without) the same compatibilizer through extrusion. PA66‐g‐PP (and/or elastomers) graft copolymer formation in mPA66 was identified by dissolution test and infrared spectroscopy measurement, the compatibilizer is unevenly dispersed with large domains in PA66 as observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). In PP/mPA66 composites, the in situ generated PA66 microfibrils have a rather nonuniform diameter distribution and a very rough surface. SEM observations for the fractured surface illustrated that PP/mPA66 composites have structural characteristics of stronger adhesion and moderate flexibility of the interface. Enhanced compatibilization between the PA66 microfibrils with the PP matrix resulted in improved mechanical properties of the PP/mPA66 composites. With optimized composition, the PP/mPA66 composite has notched Izod impact strength, flexural modulus, and tensile yield stress of 1.49, 1.16, and 0.99 times as those of the neat PP, respectively. Such enhanced mechanical properties balance and improved interface adhesion were not found in the simply blended samples of PP/PA66 with or without the specially designed compatibilizer. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Three types of mineral fillers—talc, calcium carbonate (CaCO3), and kaolin (10–40 wt % filler loadings)—were compounded with polypropylene (PP) with a twin‐screw extruder. The composites were injection‐molded, and the effects of the filler loading on the mechanical, flow, and thermal properties for the three different types of filled composites were investigated. The aim was to compare their properties and to deduce prospective filler combinations that would yield hybrid PP composites in following studies. The results showed that in most cases, the strength and stiffness of the talc‐filled PP composites was significantly higher than those of the CaCO3‐ and kaolin‐filled PP composites. However, CaCO3, being a nonreactive filler, increased the toughness of PP. The kaolin‐filled PP composites also showed some improvement in terms of strength and stiffness, although the increases in these properties were not as significant as those of the talc‐filled PP composites. The effects of interfacial interactions between the fillers and PP on the mechanical properties were also evaluated with semiempirical equations. The nucleating ability of all three fillers was studied with differential scanning calorimetry, and the strongest nucleating agent of the three was talc, followed by CaCO3 and kaolin. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Pliable and bioactive composites made of hydroxyapatite (HAP) and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer were developed for the repair of defective cranium. This article describes the mechanical properties of HAP–EVA composites. The effects of HAP particle size and morphology of HAP on the properties of resultant composites were investigated using various techniques. It was found that the composites containing smaller HAP particles had higher values of tensile modulus, flexural modulus, and impact strength. Examination of the fracture surfaces revealed that only a mechanical bond existed between the filler and the matrix. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011 相似文献

The effects of wood fibers on the melt rheological behavior of isotactic poly(propylene) (i‐PP)/wood fiber (WF) composites have been studied at WF concentrations of 0–32.2 vol % at 493 K. Shear stress–shear rate variations obeyed a power law equation, and the composites exhibited shear thinning, which increased with filler content. At a low shear rate, the apparent melt viscosity increased, while melt elasticity, after an initial decrease, also increased with WF concentration. At a higher shear rate, after an initial decrease, the melt viscosity showed an increase, as did melt elasticity, with increase in filler content. A titanate coupling agent, LICA 38, used to modify the wood fiber surface, modified these rheological parameters by functioning as a plasticizer/lubricant. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This work aims to assess the effect of maleic anhydride functionalized graphene oxide (MAH‐f‐GO) on the interfacial properties of carbon fibre/bismaleimide (BMI) composites by experimental and finite element (FE) methods. Transverse fibre bundle (TFB) specimens with different contents of MAH‐f‐GO nanoparticles were manufactured to investigate the interfacial strength of the carbon fibre/BMI composites. The fracture surface of the TFB specimens was examined by scanning electron microscopy to observe the morphologies of the fibre ? matrix interface. The coefficient of thermal expansion, cure shrinkage and elastic modulus were measured and included in the FE simulation. An FE analysis model was established to simulate the thermal residual stress distribution around the carbon fibre and to estimate the interfacial bonding strength of the TFB specimens. The combination of experimental and FE analysis results indicated that the addition of MAH‐f‐GO nanoparticles noticeably reduced the concentration of residual stress at the fibre ? matrix interface and enhanced the interfacial properties of the carbon fibre/BMI composites.© 2017 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

This work aims to study the effects of high loading (total 50 wt %) of inorganic calcite, zeolite particulates, and calcite/zeolite mixture with structurally different copolymer [CoPP; poly(propylene‐co‐ethylene)] and terpolymer [TerPP; poly(propylene‐co‐ethylene‐co‐1‐butene)] systems. Melt processing is the sole mode of mixing particulates with polymer for making master batch sample throughout this work. Mechanical properties, like the modulus and yield stress, continuously increase up to a critical zeolite ratio in calcite/zeolite mix and then decrease after exceeding the critical concentration. The impact strength of the composites is not improved by replacing the calcite portion from the mix with zeolite. Morphological study was carried out for matrix–filler dispersion observation. The complex melt viscosity, increased for both systems with increasing zeolite content, indicates extra processing difficulties because of high filler volume. Burning properties and thermal stability of CoPP and TerPP composites with 50 wt % filler systems were also studied. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2006 相似文献
