Viscoelastically generated prestress from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibres

The viscoelastic characteristics of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibres are investigated, in terms of creep-induced recovery strain and force output, to evaluate their potential for producing a novel form of prestressed composite. Composite production involves subjecting fibres to tensile creep, the applied load being removed before moulding the fibres into a resin matrix. After matrix curing, the viscoelastically strained fibres impart compressive stresses to the surrounding matrix, to produce a viscoelastically prestressed polymeric matrix composite (VPPMC). Previous research has demonstrated that nylon fibre-based VPPMCs can improve mechanical properties without needing to increase mass or section dimensions. The viability of UHMWPE fibre-based VPPMCs is demonstrated through flexural stiffness tests. Compared with control (unstressed) counterparts, these VPPMCs typically show increases of 20–40 % in flexural modulus. Studies on the viscoelastic characteristics indicate that these fibres can release mechanical energy over a long-timescale and fibre core–skin interactions may have an important role.

Mechanical properties of natural fibre reinforced polymer composites

During the last few years, natural fibres have received much more attention than ever before from the research community all over the world. These natural fibres offer a number of advantages over traditional synthetic fibres. In the present communication, a study on the synthesis and mechanical properties of new series of green composites involving Hibiscus sabdariffa fibre as a reinforcing material in urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin based polymer matrix has been reported. Static mechanical properties of randomly oriented intimately mixed Hibiscus sabdariffa fibre reinforced polymer composites such as tensile, compressive and wear properties were investigated as a function of fibre loading. Initially urea-formaldehyde resin prepared was subjected to evaluation of its optimum mechanical properties. Then reinforcing of the resin with Hibiscus sabdariffa fibre was accomplished in three different forms: particle size, short fibre and long fibre by employing optimized resin. Present work reveals that mechanical properties such as tensile strength, compressive strength and wear resistance etc of the urea-formaldehyde resin increases to considerable extent when reinforced with the fibre. Thermal (TGA/DTA/DTG) and morphological studies (SEM) of the resin and biocomposites have also been carried out.     

Fibre reinforcement in heat-cured,microwave-cured and visible light-cured base resins

The mechanical properties at transverse deflection, bending and impact tests were examined in three fibre reinforced resins including reinforcing materials such as inorganic glass fibre and cloth, organic Kevlar fibre and combined fibres. Both heat-cured and microwave-cured reinforced materials had almost the similar pattern to the changes in the mechanical properties, as compared with those in visible light-cured reinforced resin. Their reinforcing materials increased modulus and impact energy by about two times as compared with the bases. The visible light-cured resin was, however, not effective as a base resin when reinforced with fibres tested here, indicating that the transverse deflection and modulus values in light-cured reinforced resin were similar to that in the plain base resin.     

Thermal residual microstress generation during the processing of unidirectional carbon fibre/epoxy resin composites: regular fibre arrays

The thermal residual microstresses generated during the processing of unidirectional carbon fibre/epoxy resin composites are predicted, assuming regular fibre arrays. Stresses are determined in unit cells covering a range of fibre coordinations, fibre diameters, minimum interfibre distances and fibre volume fractions. The method of calculation involves the finite element method. Elastic material behaviour with temperature-dependent epoxy resin properties are assumed, together with transversely isotropic carbon fibres. Of the parameters studied, the greatest effect on the maximum principal stress was produced by the minimum thickness of epoxy resin between the fibres and the ratio of this thickness to the fibre radius. Values of the maximum principal stress were found in some cases to exceed the tensile strength of the epoxy resin. However, there was little experimental evidence to support this prediction. Cracks occurred only to a limited extent and occurred around the fibre/epoxy interface, rather than between the fibres, as predicted by the model. Reasons suggested for this discrepancy include relatively weak fibre/epoxy resin bonds and limitations on the accuracy of the stress generation model. Methods by which the model may be improved are discussed.

Effect of resin system on the mechanical properties and water absorption of kenaf fibre reinforced laminates

The objective of this study is to compare the mechanical and water absorption properties of kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) fibre reinforced laminates made of three different resin systems. The use of different resin systems is considered so that potentially complex and expensive fibre treatments are avoided. The resin systems used include a polyester, a vinyl ester and an epoxy. Laminates of 15%, 22.5% and 30% fibre volume fraction were manufactured by resin transfer moulding. The laminates were tested for strength and modulus under tensile and flexural loading. Additionally, tests were carried out on laminates to determine the impact energy, impact strength and water absorption. The results revealed that properties were affected in markedly different ways by the resin system and the fibre volume fraction. Polyester laminates showed good modulus and impact properties, epoxy laminates displayed good strength values and vinyl ester laminates exhibited good water absorption characteristics. Scanning electron microscope studies show that epoxy laminates fail by fibre fracture, polyester laminates by fibre pull-out and vinyl ester laminates by a combination of the two. A comparison between kenaf and glass laminates revealed that the specific tensile and flexural moduli of both laminates are comparable at the volume fraction of 15%. However, glass laminates have much better specific properties than the kenaf laminates at high fibre volume fractions for all three resins used.
