Next generation high‐performance carbon fiber thermoplastic composites based on polyaryletherketones

Interest in carbon fiber reinforced composites based on polyaryl ether ketones (PAEKs) continues to grow, and is driven by their increasing use as metal replacement materials in high temperature, high‐performance applications. Though these materials have seen widespread use in oil, gas, aerospace, medical and transportation industries, applications are currently limited by the thermal and mechanical properties of available PAEK polymer chemistries and their carbon fiber composites as well as interfacial bonding with carbon fiber surfaces. This article reviews the state of the art of PAEK polymer chemistries, mechanical properties of their carbon fiber reinforced composites, and interfacial engineering techniques used to improve the fiber‐matrix interfacial bond strength. We also propose a roadmap to develop the next generation of high‐performance long fiber thermoplastic composites based on PAEKs. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Recycling of polypropylene‐based eco‐composites

BACKGROUND: Renewable resources and recyclable thermoplastic polymers provide an attractive eco‐friendly quality as well as environmental sustainability to the resulting natural fibre‐reinforced composites. The properties of polypropylene (PP)‐based composites reinforced with rice hulls or kenaf fibres were investigated with respect to their recyclability. Rice hulls from rice processing plants and natural lignocellulosic kenaf fibres from the bast of the plant Hibiscus cannabinus represent renewable sources that could be utilized for composites. Maleic anhydride‐grafted PP was used as a coupling agent to improve the interfacial adhesion between fillers and matrix. Composites containing 30 wt% reinforcement were manufactured by melt mixing and their mechanical and thermal properties were determined. The composites were then pelletized and reprocessed by melt mixing. Finally, structure/properties relationships were investigated as a function of the number of reprocessing cycles. RESULTS: It is found that the recycling processes do not induce very significant changes in flexural strength and thermal stability of the composites. In particular PP‐based composites reinforced with kenaf fibres are less sensitive to reprocessing cycles with respect to PP‐based composites reinforced with rice hulls. CONCLUSION: The response of PP‐based composites reinforced with rice hulls or kenaf fibres is promising since their properties remain almost unchanged after recycling processes. Moreover, the recycled composites are suitable for applications as construction materials for indoor applications. In fact, the flexural strength and modulus of these materials are comparable to those of conventional formaldehyde wood medium‐density fibreboards. Copyright © 2008 Society of Chemical Industry     

Effect of imbibed moisture on monotonic and low-velocity impact behavior of injection over-molded short/continuous fiber reinforced polypropylene composites

Design of automotive components with over-molded short/continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites necessitates understanding of their behavior under extreme outdoor conditions. The short, quasi-isotropic and over-molded short/continuous glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP) composite specimens were prepared as per standard and immersed in water until equilibration to study their relative moisture absorption characteristics and consequent mechanical behavior. As the absorbed moisture mostly occupied the interface between fiber and matrix in laminated composite inserts and moisture absorption of short fiber composite core is insignificant, the moisture absorption of over-molded composites is just above 50% of that of laminated composites. The flexural, interlaminar shear and impact behavior of equilibrated composites is primarily governed by the quantum of imbibed moisture of composite materials. Optical analysis of failed moisture equilibrated over-molded specimens showed a marginal delamination between plies of the inserts without any perceptible damage within the short fiber composite similar to dry as molded specimens.

Novel hybrid of clay,cellulose, and thermoplastics. I. Preparation and characterization of composites of ethylene–propylene copolymer

The present study is aimed to prepare hybrid materials by incorporating layered silicates and microcrystalline cellulose into thermoplastic polymer. Using ethylene–propylene (EP) copolymer as thermoplastic polymer matrix and maleated EP (MEP) copolymer as compatibilizer, three types of composites were prepared by (i) melt mixing of cellulose with thermoplastics [I], (ii) melt mixing of clay with thermoplastics [II], and (iii) melt mixing of cellulose with the thermoplastic clay nanocomposites [III]. They were characterized by X‐ray diffractometry (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Instron was used to measure the mechanical properties. The composites [II] and [III] that contain layered silicates were intercalated nanocomposites as confirmed by XRD and transmission electron microscopy. The improvement in tensile properties was observed in cellulose–fiber‐reinforced composites with increasing cellulose content. In nanocomposites [II] and [III], the tensile modulus was improved. The resistance of the cellulose composites [I] for water absorption decreased with increasing content of cellulose fibers. The incorporation of layered silicates reduced the water absorption of cellulose composites. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 104: 2672–2682, 2007

Welding of thermoplastics reinforced with random glass mat

Thermoplastics reinforced with random glass mat have high strength and stiffness; the fibers dominate the mechanical behavior of these composites. The results of this investigation have shown that fibers are ineffective for reinforcing hot-tool and vibration welded butt welds. The maximum weld strengths attained with GMT are comparable to the strengths of good welds of the unfilled material. The optimum hot-tool welding parameters for the reinforced materials are different from those for the unfilled material. Unfilled polypropylene is easier to weld than unfilled polyamide. This characteristic is also true of the reinforced materials. In vibration welding, high welding pressures and high amplitudes result in lower mechanical properties. The optimum penetration depends on the fiber content of the bulk material. This penetration dependence is different from that for unfilled thermoplastic, for which the mechanical properties are independent of the penetration once a steady state has been attained.     

An investigation on the rheology,morphology, thermal and mechanical properties of recycled poly (ethylene terephthalate) reinforced with modified short glass fibers

This work was done with the aim to solve an important environmental issue regarding poly (ethylene terephthalate), (PET) wastes. Samples of recycled PET (r-PET) were reinforced with 10 to 30 wt% modified short glass fibers (SGF) through a melt mixing process in an internal mixer and their performance were assessed and compared with those of commercial glass reinforced PET through investigation of their rheology, morphology, thermal, and mechanical properties. It was found that the mechanical properties of the glass reinforced r-PET composites in most cases were comparable or even higher than those of the commercial grades. The impact strength of the 30 wt% SGF filled r-PET composite was about 30% higher than the commercial grades. This led to a conclusion that the PET wastes can be successfully converted to easily moldable thermoplastic materials by incorporation of 30 wt% SGF having a good balance of properties. Through investigation of rheological and morphological properties the optimum conditions for the best reinforcement performance were determined. The r-PET with 30 wt% glass fiber content showed the highest level of orientation and improved interaction with the r-PET matrix while having an acceptable flow behavior and processability. In spite of significant fiber breakage during the melt mixing process, leading to about 20 times reduction in the fiber aspect ratio, the composites maintained their good mechanical properties and showed a shear thinning behavior at high shear rates. The incorporated glass fibers acted as nucleating agents and improved the crystallization rate of r-PET leading to an overall increase in the crystallinity. POLYM.

Molding of PBO fabric reinforced thermoplastic composite to achieve high fiber volume fraction

In fiber‐reinforced plastic materials, the fiber volume fraction is one of the most important parameters, and it strongly influences the composite properties. However, it is hard to improve impregnation and the fiber volume fraction in fiber‐reinforced thermoplastics because thermoplastic resins have high melt viscosities. This study explored a reformative solution impregnation method for molding fabric‐reinforced thermoplastic composites with a high fiber volume fraction. The fiber volume fraction was significantly increased, to 60%, which is equal to that of fiber‐reinforced thermosetting plastic materials. A comparison indicated that a fiber‐reinforced thermoplastic and a fiber‐reinforced thermosetting plastic with the same reinforcing fiber had similar tensile properties and that the proposed molding method is effective in thermoplastic composite manufacture.

Manufacturing and testing of long basalt fiber reinforced thermoplastic matrix composites

In this work, long basalt fiber reinforced composites were investigated and compared with short basalt fiber reinforced compounds. The results show that long fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites are particularly advantageous in the respects of dynamic mechanical properties and injection molding shrinkage. The fiber orientation in long basalt fiber reinforced products fundamentally differs from short basalt fiber reinforced ones. This results in more isotropic molding shrinkage in case of long basalt fiber reinforced composites. The main advantage of the used long fiber thermoplastic technology is that the special long fiber reinforced pellet can be processed by most conventional injection molding machines. During extrusion compounding the fibers in the compound containing 30 wt% fibers are fragmented to an average length of 0.48 mm (typical of short fiber reinforced thermoplastic compounds), this length decreases further during injection molding to 0.20 mm. Contrarily using long fiber reinforced pellets and cautious injection molding parameters, an average fiber length of 1.8 mm can be achieved with a conventional injection molding machine, which increased the average length/diameter ratio from 14 to 130.

Effects of alkali and silane treatment on the mechanical properties of jute‐fiber‐reinforced recycled polypropylene composites

Jute‐fibers‐reinforced thermoplastic composites are widely used in the automobile, packaging, and electronic industries because of their various advantages such as low cost, ease of recycling, and biodegradability. However, the applications of these kinds of composites are limited because of their unsatisfactory mechanical properties, which are caused by the poor interfacial compatibility between jute fibers and the thermoplastic matrix. In this work, four methods, including (i) alkali treatment, (ii) alkali and silane treatment, (iii) alkali and (maleic anhydride)‐polypropylene (MAPP) treatment, and (iv) alkali, silane, and MAPP treatment (ASMT) were used to treat jute fibers and improve the interfacial adhesion of jute‐fiber‐reinforced recycled polypropylene composites (JRPCS). The mechanical properties and impact fracture surfaces of the composites were observed, and their fracture mechanism was analyzed. The results showed that ASMT composites possessed the optimum comprehensive mechanical properties. When the weight fraction of jute fibers was 15%, the tensile strength and impact toughness were increased by 46 and 36%, respectively, compared to those of untreated composites. The strongest interfacial adhesion between jute fibers and recycled polypropylene was obtained for ASMT composites. The fracture styles of this kind of composite included fiber breakage, fiber pull‐out, and interfacial debonding. J. VINYL ADDIT. TECHNOL., 2010. © 2010 Society of Plastics Engineers.     

RIM-pultrusion of nylon-6 and rubber-toughened nylon-6 composites

Unidirectionally reinforced thermoplastic composites of Nylon-6 and polypropylene oxide-Nylon-6 block copolymers have been prepared by the reaction injection molding (RIM)-pultrusion process. This process takes advantage of both the RIM and the pultrusion techniques, while avoiding their inherent shortcomings. It also represents a novel way of incorporating toughening rubber domains into a thermoplastic composite. The composites produced exhibit excellent mechanical integrity with essentially zero void content. The chemical and physical states of the composites produced by the process were probed in terms of mechanical relaxation behavior using a dynamic mechanical spectrometer. Due to the simultaneous occurrence of both polymerization and crystallization processes in the reacting system, the resulting material is in a thermodynamically nonequilibrium state. An annealing effect is shown to correspond structurally to an increase in matrix crystallinity and the degree of phase separation, Izod impact tests were used to compare Nylon-6 and rubber-toughened Nylon-6 RIM-pultruded composites. The potential of secondary processing was, demonstrated by compression molding of the RIM-pultruded composite rods.
