Toughened and machinable glass matrix composites reinforced with graphene and graphene-oxide nano platelets

Abstract

The processing conditions for preparing well dispersed silica–graphene nanoplatelets and silica–graphene oxide nanoplatelets (GONP) composites were optimized using powder and colloidal processing routes. Fully dense silica–GONP composites with up to 2.5 vol% loading were consolidated using spark plasma sintering. The GONP aligned perpendicularly to the applied pressure during sintering. The fracture toughness of the composites increased linearly with increasing concentration of GONP and reached a value of ～0.9 MPa m^1/2 for 2.5 vol% loading. Various toughening mechanisms including GONP necking, GONP pull-out, crack bridging, crack deflection and crack branching were observed. GONP decreased the hardness and brittleness index (BI) of the composites by ～30 and ～50% respectively. The decrease in BI makes silica–GONP composites machinable compared to pure silica. When compared to silica–Carbon nanotube composites, silica–GONP composites show better process-ability and enhanced mechanical properties.     

Wear behavior of light-cured resin composites with bimodal silica nanostructures as fillers

To enhance wear behavior of resin composites, bimodal silica nanostructures including silica nanoparticles and silica nanoclusters were prepared and proposed as fillers. The silica nanoclusters, a combination of individually dispersed silica nanoparticles and their agglomerations, with size distribution of 0.07–2.70 μm, were fabricated by the coupling reaction between amino and epoxy functionalized silica nanoparticles, which were obtained by the surface modification of silica nanoparticles (~ 70 nm) using 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES) and 3-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane (GPS) as coupling agents, respectively. Silica nanoparticles and nanoclusters were then silanized with 3-methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane (γ-MPS) to prepare composites by mixing with bisphenol A glycerolate dimethacrylate (Bis-GMA) and tri (ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (TEGDMA). Experimental composites with various filler compositions were prepared and their wear behaviors were assessed in this work. The results suggested that composites with increasing addition of silica nanoparticles in co-fillers possessed lower wear volume and smoother worn surface. Particularly, the composite 53:17 with the optimum weight ratio of silica nanoparticles and silica nanoclusters presented the excellent wear behavior with respect to that of the commercial Esthet-X, although the smallest wear volume was achieved by Z350 XT. The introduction of bimodal silica nanostructures as fillers might provide a new sight for the design of resin composites with significantly improved wear resistance.

Effect of amorphous silica by rice husk ash on physical properties and microstructures of recycled aluminium chip AA7075

High strength to weight ratio of aluminium reinforced as metal matrix composites is a well known material used in automotive application. The effects of recycled aluminium chips AA7075 with amorphous silica by rice husk ash on the physical properties and microstructure were investigated. Recycled aluminium chip AA7075 was reinforced with agro waste of amorphous silica rice husk ash i. e., 2.5 %, 5 %, 7.5 %, 10 % and 12.5 %. Samples of these metal matrix composites were prepared by cold compaction method due to the lower energies consumption and operating cost compared to conventional recycling by casting. Physical testing of density, apparent porosity, water absorption and hardness tests of the metal matrix composites samples were examined in the current study. The density of metal matrix composites was increased up to 5 % of amorphous silica, and then decreased with increasing mass fraction of amorphous silica. Porosity and water absorption of metal matrix composites were significantly consistent at increasing mass fraction of amorphous silica, while the hardness of metal matrix composites was increased at increasing amorphous silica. Consequently, the microstructures of metal matrix composites were observed via optical microscope to analyze the dispersion of the reinforced composites. The microstructures of metal matrix composites were found non‐homogeneous and random distribution of amorphous silica and aluminium chip AA7075 compared to 100 % recycled aluminium chip AA7075. Based on investigation to aluminium reinforced rice husk ash composites, it has good potential to improve the material behavior of metal matrix composites by appropriate composition amorphous silica to composite.     

Preparation and characterization of conducting polyaniline/silica nanosheet composites

A series of polyaniline/silica nanosheet composites (PANI/SNS) with different contents of the silica nanosheets derived from vermiculite via acid-leaching were prepared via the in situ chemical oxidation polymerization. The PANI/SNS composites were characterized with Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and electrical conductivity measurement. It is interesting that the electrical conductivities of the PANI/SNS composites increased with the increasing of the contents of the silica nanosheets added because of the moisture absorption. It was confirmed by the TGA analysis.

Effect of flame retardants on mechanical properties,flammability and foamability of PP/wood–fiber composites

The mechanical properties, flame retardancy, thermal degradation and foaming properties of wood–fiber/PP composites have been investigated. Ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and silica were used as flame retardants. The limiting oxygen index (LOI), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and cone colorimeter (CONE) were employed for the study of fire retardance. At the same time, wood–fiber/PP composite foams were produced with the batch foaming technique using CO₂ as blowing agent. The effects of APP and silica content, pressure and temperature on the final cell structure were investigated. According to LOI, TGA and cone calorimeter results obtained from the experiments, APP and silica are effective flame retardants for wood–fiber/PP composites, and silica was shown to have a flame retardant synergistic effect with APP in wood–fiber/PP composite. The mechanical properties of the composites decreased with addition of flame retardants, except for the tensile strength of small amount of silica filled wood–fiber/PP composite. The results also revealed that the cellular morphologies of the foamed wood–fiber/PP composites are a strong function of the content of APP and silica as well as foaming conditions.     

Poly(vinyl alcohol)/silica hybrid nanocomposites by sol-gel technique: Synthesis and properties

Poly(vinyl alcohol)/silica organic inorganic hybrid composites were prepared by using sol-gel technique. Tetraethoxysilane was used as the precursor for silica. The reaction was carried out in an aqueous medium having a pH of 1.5 with concentrated hydrochloric acid, used as the catalyst. All the composites were optically clear. Interaction at organic-inorganic interfaces due to hydrogen bonds was speculated from infrared spectroscopic analysis of the hybrid composites. Transmission electron microscopic studies revealed the existence of silica nanoparticles, uniformly dispersed in the organic matrix, which were found to grow in size with increase in tetraethoxysilane loading in the composites. Uniform dispersion of silica particles within the hybrid nanocomposites was also supported from the energy dispersive X-ray mapping of silicon. Dynamic mechanical properties exhibited substantial mechanical reinforcements due to the dispersion of nanosilica particles in the matrix. The results were further supported by significant improvements in the Young's modulus and the tensile strengths of the samples. All the hybrid composites demonstrated excellent water resistance.
