Performance of long glass fiber‐reinforced polypropylene composites at different injection temperature

Long glass fiber‐reinforced polypropylene composites were prepared using self‐designed impregnation device. Effects of the different injection temperature on mechanical properties, crystallization, thermal, and dynamic mechanical properties of long glass fiber‐reinforced polypropylene composites were discussed. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results indicate that the melting peak temperature of PP/LGF composites gradually reduced, however, the crystallinity of PP/LGF composites gradually increased with increasing injection temperature. Thermo‐gravimetric analyzer (TGA) results demonstrate that with increasing injection temperature, the temperature of the PP/LGF composites melt increased, the viscosity of the PP/LGF composites melt lowered, the mold filling of the PP/LGF composites melt was easy, the shear force of glass fiber was relatively low, which made the residual length of glass fiber in products increase. Dynamic thermal mechanical analyzer (DMA) results show that the storage modulus of PP/LGF composites is the highest while the injection temperature is at 290°C, and the peak value of tan σ of PP /LGF composites at 290°C is minimal, which indicates that the mechanical properties of PP /LGF composites at 290°C is the best. What' more, the injection temperature at 290°C significantly ameliorated “glass fiber rich skin” of products of glass fiber‐reinforced composites. J. VINYL ADDIT.

Mechanical,thermal, and dynamic mechanical properties of long glass fiber‐reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane/polyoxymethylene composites

Long glass fiber (LGF)‐reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) elastomers and polyoxymethylene (POM) (LGF/TPU/POM) composites were prepared by using self‐designed impregnation device. Dynamic mechanical properties of the LGF/TPU/POM composites have been investigated by using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis.

In addition, the Arrhenius relationship has been used to calculate the activation energy of α‐transition of the LGF/TPU/POM composites. The thermal stability of the LGF/TPU/POM composites was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis. The consequence demonstrated that the thermal stability increase with augmenting the content of glass fibers.

Preparation and Mechanical Properties of Long Glass Fiber Reinforced PA6 Composites Prepared by a Novel Process

Summary: Long glass fiber reinforced PA6 (LGF/PA6) prepregs were prepared by impregnating PA6 oligomer melt into reinforcing glass fiber followed by subsequent solid‐state polymerization (SSP) to obtain LGF/PA6 composite pellets. A conventional injection‐molding machine suitable for short glass fiber reinforced composites was applied to the processing of the prepared composites, which reduced the fiber length in the final products. Mechanical properties, thermal property, and fiber length distribution of injection molding bars were investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the impact fracture surfaces and the surfaces of glass fiber after the SSP. It was found that the LGF/PA6 composites were of favorable mechanical properties, especially the impact strength, although the average length of glass fiber was rather short. By this novel process, the content of glass fiber in composite could be high up to 60 wt.‐% and the maximum level of heat distortion temperature (HDT) was close to the melting temperature of PA6. SEM images indicated the favorable interfacial properties between the glass fiber and matrix. The glass fiber surfaces were further observed by SEM after removing the matrix PA6 with a solvent, the results showed that PA6 macromolecules were grafted onto the surface. Furthermore, the grafting amount of PA6 was increased with SSP time.

Long jute fiber‐reinforced polypropylene composite: Effects of jute fiber bundle and glass fiber hybridization

Two types of long jute fiber pellet consisting of twisted‐jute yarn (LFT‐JF/PP) and untwisted‐jute yarn (UT‐JF/PP) pellets are used to prepare jute fiber–reinforced polypropylene (JF/PP) composites. The mechanical properties of both long fiber composites are compared with that of re‐pelletized pellet (RP‐JF/PP) of LFT‐JF/PP pellet, which is re‐compounded by extrusion compounding. High stiffness and high impact strength of JF/PP composites are as a result of using long fiber. However, the longer fiber bundle consequently affects the distribution of jute fiber. The incorporation of 10 wt % glass fibers is found to improve mechanical properties of JF/PP composites. Increasing mechanical properties of hybrid composites is dependent on the type of JF/PP pellets, which directly affect the fiber length and fiber orientation of glass fiber within hybrid composites. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thermal stability and thermal degradation kinetics of short and long glass fiber reinforced PA10T composites

In this work, the long glass fiber reinforced poly(decamethylene terephthalanide) (PA10T/LGF) composites and short glass fiber reinforced PA10T (PA10T/SGF) composites were prepared by two different extrusion processing methods, respectively. The results of mechanical properties reveal the introduction of glass fiber can improve the performance of the material, and the LGF reinforced PA10T composites can achieve much higher performance than the SGF reinforced ones at the same level of fiber contents. The thermal stabilities of neat PA10T, PA10T/SGF, and PA10T/LGF are investigated by nonisothermal TG analysis. The thermal degradation kinetics is introduced by using Kissinger and Flynn‐Wall‐Ozawa methods and the thermal degradation mechanism functions of the samples are calculated by the Coats‐Redfem model. The results show that the thermal stabilities of PA10T/SGF and neat PA10T are better than that of PA10T/LGF. In addition, the incorporation of glass fiber into PA10T do not have much effect on the reaction mechanism type of thermal degradation compared with that neat PA10T. Furthermore, the thermal stability analysis of the composites is verified by the computed results of Gibbs free energy (ΔG^#). POLYM. ENG.

Mechanical properties of injection molded long fiber polypropylene composites,Part 1: Tensile and flexural properties

Innovative polymers and composites are broadening the range of applications and commercial production of thermoplastics. Long fiber‐reinforced thermoplastics have received much attention due to their processability by conventional technologies. This study describes the development of long fiber reinforced polypropylene (LFPP) composites and the effect of fiber length and compatibilizer content on their mechanical properties. LFPP pellets of different sizes were prepared by extrusion process using a specially designed radial impregnation die and these pellets were injection molded to develop LFPP composites. Maleic‐anhydride grafted polypropylene (MA‐g‐PP) was chosen as a compatibilizer and its content was optimized by determining the interfacial properties through fiber pullout test. Critical fiber length was calculated using interfacial shear strength. Fiber length distributions were analyzed using profile projector and image analyzer software system. Fiber aspect ratio of more than 100 was achieved after injection molding. The results of the tensile and flexural properties of injection molded long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene with a glass fiber volume fraction of 0.18 are presented. It was found that the differences in pellet sizes improve the mechanical properties by 3–8%. Efforts are made to theoretically predict the tensile strength and modulus using the Kelly‐Tyson and Halpin‐Tsai model, respectively. POLYM.

Influence of thermooxidative aging on the static and dynamic mechanical properties of long‐glass‐fiber‐reinforced polyamide 6 composites

The static and dynamic mechanical properties, thermal behaviors, and morphology of pure long‐glass‐fiber‐reinforced samples [polyamide 6 (PA6)/long glass fiber (LGF)] with different thermal exposure times at 160°C were studied by comparison with stabilized samples in this study. The aging mechanism of the PA6/LGF samples under heat and oxygen was studied with the methods of thermal Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and so on. The results indicate that the static mechanical strength, melting temperature, and crystallization temperature decreased because of the decomposition of the macromolecular chain of PA6 resin and the debonding of the interface between the glass fibers and matrix. The glass‐transition temperature and crystallinity also increased and decreased, respectively, after aging. The macromolecular chain decomposition dominated in the subsequent aging process; this resulted in many sharp and brittle microcracks appearing on the surfaces of the aged samples, as shown by SEM and the FTIR spectra. The existence of stabilizers endowed the PA6/LGF composites with better retention of static and dynamic mechanical properties. The reason was that the metal ions of the copper salt antioxidant acted as an anti‐aging catalyst in the reinforced PA6 system. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2014 , 131, 39594.
