To enhance the adhesion between the natural fibre and the thermoplastic matrix, a coupling agent of maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene MAPP is applied. In literature, there are different guidelines of the optimum percentage required of MAPP. Therefore, a systematic work is carried out to optimise the MAPP percent with respect to the type of the natural fibre. Different parameters are investigated namely; Coupling agent ratio to the fibre (0%, 6.67%, 10%, 13.3%, 16.67%), coupling agent source, fibre type (flax, hemp, sisal), and fibre content (30%, 50%). Composite is produced using a kneader and the resulting material is assessed mechanically, thermally, microscopically and for water absorption. For different MAPP source and the natural fibre type, optimum MAPP to fibre ratio is found in average to range between 10% and 13.3% according to the investigated property (stiffness, strength and impact). Increase of MAPP is found to decrease the melting temperature. The thermal behaviour is also linked to the copolymer molecular weight. 相似文献

The effect of fibre treatment on the thermal degradation and surface energy characteristics of hemp fibre reinforced unsaturated polyester (HFRUP) composites was investigated by means of a thermogravimetric analyser (TGA) in a nitrogen atmosphere and contact angle measurement. In order to modify the fibre/matrix interface, NaOH treatment and glass fibre hybridisation were employed. HFRUP composites were compared to the unreinforced UP, NaOH treated hemp and glass fibre hybridised hemp/UP composites. TGA test results show that the weight loss for all samples occurred between 200 and 415 °C. The unreinforced UP had a maximum weight loss of 1.011%/°C. For the HFRUP composites, the maximum rate of weight loss was 0.81%/°C. For the NaOH treated and glass fibre hybridised hemp/UP composites, the maximum rate of weight loss was 0.78%/°C and 0.79%/°C, respectively. The effect of fibre treatment on the surface energy of studied samples and their dispersive and polar components were also investigated. Surface energy characteristics obtained from contact angle measurement revealed that for unreinforced UP, the contact angle measured with glycerol is 49.37°. For hemp/UP composites, the contact angle is 76.05°. For NaOH treated hemp/UP composites sample, the contact angle was recorded 78.89°, higher than untreated one. For hemp/CSM/UP specimen, the contact angle was recorded 69.80°. Both TGA and contact angle results indicated that surface treatment and glass fibre hybridisation led to better thermal stability and the wetting behaviour of hemp/UP composites. 相似文献

Copper reinforced by continuous carbon fibres is a candidate material for heat sinks of electronic modules. The thermal expansion can be matched to the adjacent ceramics and the thermal conductivity is higher than that of alternative materials. Because the material is expected to work in cyclic thermal conditions during application its structure must withstand such a load without any severe damage. The structure of unidirectionally and cross-ply fibre reinforced samples was observed before and after thermal cycling by optical microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). SEM was used for examining the fibre-matrix interface before and after thermal cycling. Optical microscopy showed the arrangement of individual monolayers. The influence of adding copper foils between individual monolayers on the structure of the material is reflected in a reduction in the number of cracks in monolayers. 相似文献

This paper presents a novel process for the fabrication of pultruded polyurethane (PU) composites. The effects of the processing parameters on the mechanical properties (flexural strength and flexural modulus, etc.) and thermal properties (HDT) of the fibre reinforced PU composites by pultrusion have been studied. The processing parameters investigated include pulling rate (in-line speed), die temperature, filler type and content, and post-cure time and temperature. Results show that the composites possessed various optimum pulling rates at different die temperatures. On the basis of the DSC diagram, the swelling ratio, the mechanical properties and the thermal properties of composites, the optimum die temperature can be determined. It is found that the mechanical and thermal properties increase with filler content for various types of filler. The mechanical and thermal properties increase at a suitable post-cure temperature and time. Furthermore, the properties which decreased due to the degradation of composite materials for a long post-cure time will be discussed. 相似文献

The effect of polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (pMDI) on mechanical and thermal properties of Kenaf fibre (KF) reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) composites was studied. Various percentages viz. 2%, 4% and 6%, were studied. The composites were characterized by using tensile testing, thermogravimetric analysis (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). It was noticed that the addition of pMDI 2%, 4% and 6% did not induce a better tensile nor thermal properties. 相似文献

A major limitation to the spreading of natural fibre reinforced composites in semi-structural components is their unsatisfactory impact performance. As a potential solution, the production of synthetic/plant fibre hybrid laminates has been explored, trying to obtain materials with sufficient impact properties, while retaining a reduced cost and a substantial environmental gain. This study explores the effects of hybridisation of basalt fibre on post-impact behaviour and damage tolerance capability of hemp fibre reinforced composites. All reinforced laminates were impacted in a range of energies (3, 6, and 9 J) and subjected to both quasi-static and cyclic flexural tests with a step loading procedure. The tests have also been monitored by acoustic emission (AE), which has confirmed the existence of severe limitations to the use of natural fibre reinforced composites even when impacted at energies not so close to penetration and the enhanced damage tolerance offered by the hybridisation with basalt fibers. 相似文献

When a matrix crack encounters a fibre that is inclined relative to the direction of crack opening, geometry requires that the fibre flex is bridging between the crack faces. Conversely, the degree of flexing is a function of the crack face separation, as well as of (1) the compliance of the supporting matrix, (2) the crossing angle, (3) the bundle size, and (4) the shear coupling of the fibre to the matrix. At some crack face separation the stress level in the fibre bundle will cause it to fail. Other bundles, differing in size and orientation, will fail at other values of the crack separation. Such bridging contributes significantly to the resistance of the composite to crack propagation and to ultimate failure. The stress on the composite needed to produce a given crack face separation is inferred by analysing the forces and displacements involved. The resulting model computes stress versus crack-opening behaviour, ultimate strengths, and works of failure. Although the crack is assumed to be planar and to extend indefinitely, the model should also be applicable to finite cracks.Glossary of Symbols

Two commercially available carbon fibre reinforced composites (8552/IM7 and M18-1/G939) were exposed to heat above maximum operational temperature at various durations. Mass loss and mechanical properties were measured over time. A chemical analysis was also performed on these composites. The two primary components of each matrix, the epoxy resin and the thermoplastic, were observed to degrade at different rates under various thermal loading conditions. The epoxy resins degrade predominantly as measured by IR spectroscopy and thermal desorption/gas chromatography mass spectrometry. By using mass loss, strength, and IR spectroscopic data, a correlation was made between strength characteristics of each composite and the relative amount of the two primary matrix components. The developed relationship can be used to estimate rapidly the mechanical properties from the intensity ratio of IR bands characteristic of the two components. 相似文献

Acoustic emission output from fibre composites under load had two major sources: fibre fracture and matrix cracking. It is shown that the process is strain rate-insensitive in the presence of the first source alone, and rate-dependent when both are involved. The slower the strain rate, the longer the time available for crack development and the stronger the AE activity. 相似文献

Monofilament composites were prepared by plating nickel on Nicalon, a commercial SiC fibre obtained from a precursor of polycarbosilane. The surface condition of the fibre was controlled by pre-treatments prior to the nickel plating. The tensile strength of the monofilament composite decreased with increasing annealing temperature, especially above 973 K, where reaction between the fibre and nickel begins. The extent of degradation of the composite caused by the reaction was different for different pre-treatment and annealing temperatures. The degradation was explained by the Griffith theory. The calculated strength of annealed composites agreed fairly well with the measured values. SEM observations showed that the strength is closely related to the morphology of the reaction products. 相似文献

Deviations from ideal parallel packing in a unidirectional fibre-reinforced composite affect its resistance to splitting. In order to relate, quantitatively, the failure processes to such misorientation, it is necessary to characterize the departure from ideality and to measure the resistance to failure. Experimental observations are presented relating to: (i) a tendency for the carbon fibres in a tow to group into bundles that deviate somewhat from being parallel with each other, and (ii) the fracture toughness for the splitting of several imperfectly aligned composites. Statistical representations are offered for quantifying or modelling the degree of misalignment. 相似文献

Halloysite nanotubes (HNT) were effectively incorporated into epoxy resin and used for infusion of carbon fibre textiles, resulting in epoxy/halloysite nanotube/carbon fibre (EP/HNT/CF) multi-scale composites. The distribution of nanotubes in the composites was examined by SEM. The thermomechanical properties of the composites were characterized by dynamic mechanical analyser (DMA). A 25% enhancement was recorded for the storage modulus of EP/HNT/CF composite in the glassy state. Moreover, the Tg of the laminates increased with the addition of HNT, and the values were even higher than the Tg of their matrix. Additionally, the Izod impact strength of the composites has been improved. These results indicate a synergistic effect between HNT and carbon fibres. 相似文献

The effect of absorbed moisture on the notched tensile strength of multidirectional carbon fibre/epoxy laminates with two different ply stacking sequences has been evaluated at room temperature. In laminates made from fibres with either the standard commercial level or lower levels of fibre surface treatment, moisture resulted in a significant decrease in notched tensile strength and toughness for one stacking sequence but no decrease in the other. Examination of the fractured specimens showed that in the first case, less delamination and shear cracking parallel to the fibres had occurred in wet specimens. It was concluded that the effect of moisture on notch sensitivity was dependent on the mechanisms controlling failure at the notch and these depended on ply stacking sequence. The effect of moisture on the failure mechanisms occurring at the notch is discussed. 相似文献

The thermal conductivities of some 2 dimensional carbon fibre in carbon (CCF) composite materials were measured between 1.5 K and 80 K. Measurements upon one sample were made down to 0.15 K. An analysis of the results is made and a simple model of the system was used to predict the conductivities to within ~10%.The material is a very good thermal insulator (K < 0.01 Wm?1K?1 at 4.2 K) with very low thermal expansion and is easy to machine. As such it may be useful as a low temperature constructional material, though the readiness with which the material adsorbs gas may limit its applications. 相似文献

Novel aluminised E-glass fibre reinforced unsaturated polyester composites, originally formulated for enhanced thermal and electrical shielding properties were evaluated in terms of their water absorption. One of the major obstacles delaying the acceptance of novel composites in engineering applications is the degradation of the polymer matrix material by moisture, which effects the physical and mechanical performance over time. The objective of this study was to characterise and quantify the degree of water absorption of novel aluminised E-glass reinforced unsaturated polyester composites. Aluminised E-glass composites were compared alongside their unmetallised E-glass counterparts. Two sets of temperature were used for this study. Results show that aluminised E-glass significantly reduces the saturation point compared to unmetallised E-glass. The differences between aluminised and unmetallised are correlated to fibre coatings. At elevated temperatures the aluminised E-glass sample is unstable and exhibits significantly higher water absorption indicating that a new failure mechanism is occurring. 相似文献

Interface characteristics of carbon fibre reinforced copper matrix composites materials with various interface states and their effect on the flexural strength of composites have been studied. Interfacial states are mechanical bonding, dissolution bonding and reaction bonding. To a certain extent, raising the interfacial strength enables an increase in the flexural strength due to prevention of carbon fibre being pulled out under low stress during fracture process of composites. Raising the interfacial bondage strength, causes the brittleness of composites to increase; the fracture surface of composites is converted from a fibre pull-out model to a fibre even model. While strengthening the interface bondage, the extent of chemical reaction and dissolution at the interface must be controlled to avoid degrading the carbon fibre. 相似文献

The mechanical properties of dental resin composites need to be improved in order to extend their use to high stress-bearing applications such as crown and bridge restorations. Recent studies used single crystal ceramic whiskers to reinforce dental composites. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of thermal cycling on whisker-reinforced composites. It was hypothesized that the whisker composites would not show a reduction in mechanical properties or the breakdown of whisker–resin interface after thermal cycling. Silicon carbide whiskers were mixed with silica particles, thermally fused, then silanized and incorporated into resin to make flexural specimens. The filler mass fraction ranged from 0% to 70%. The specimens were thermal cycled in 5 °C and 60 °C water baths, and then fractured in three-point bending to measure strength. Nano-indentation was used to measure modulus and hardness. No significant loss in composite strength, modulus and hardness was found after 105 thermal cycles (family confidence coefficient=0.95; Tukey's multiple comparison test). The strength of whisker composite increased with filler level up to 60%, then plateaued when filler level was further increased to 70%; the modulus and hardness increased monotonically with filler level. The strength and modulus of whisker composite at 70% filler level were significantly higher than the non-whisker controls both before and after thermal cycling. SEM revealed no separation at the whisker–matrix interfaces, and observed resin remnants on the pulled-out whiskers, indicating strong whisker–resin bonding even after 105 thermal cycles. In conclusion, novel dental resin composites containing silica-fused whiskers possessed superior strength and modulus compared to non-whisker composites both before and after thermal cycling. The whisker–resin bonding appeared to be resistant to thermal cycling in water, so that no loss in composite strength or stiffness occurred after prolonged thermal cycling. 相似文献

A simple theoretical model is proposed to account for the effect of high fibre loading on the tensile properties of real, unidirectionally reinforced fibre composites. Based on the reduction of interfacial surfaces due to fibre-fibre interaction, a modification to the rule of mixtures is proposed. The experimentally observed non-linear variation of tensile strength with fibre volume can be predicted by the modified rule. Experimental data from the literature are used to validate and verify the model and show good agreement with the predictions. 相似文献
