Mechanical,Electrical and Water Absorption Study of Jute/Glass/Jute-bamboo/Glass-bamboo-bisphenol-C-formaldehyde-acrylate a Value Added Composites

Bisphenol-C-formaldehyde-acrylate (BCFA) resin was synthesized by reacting 0.1 mol bisphenol-C-formaldehyde resin, 0.4 mol acrylic acid in 25 ml 1,4-dioxane and 1.5 g phenothiazine catalyst at 80°C for 6 h. Jute, glass, jute-bamboo, and glass-bamboo composites were prepared by compression molding technique at 150°C for 2 h under 30.4 MPa pressure. Jute-BCFA, Glass-BCFA, Jute-bamboo-BCFA, Glass-Bamboo-BCFA possess 50, 114, 49, and 65 MPa tensile strength; 58, 185, 69, and 70 MPa flexural strength; 1.2, 3.3, 1.3, and 1.9 kV/mm electric strength and 6.2 × 10¹², 2.5 × 10¹³, 6.6 × 10¹², and 1.5 × 10¹³ ohm cm volume resistivity. The data are interpreted in terms of nature of fibers and resin and fiber loading and orientation. Water absorption behavior of composites is tested in pure water, 10% NaCl and 10% Hcl solutions at room temperature as well as in boiling water. Observed diffusivity order for each of composite is H₂O < NaCl < HCl. Sandwich composites shown high water absorption in all media due to high bamboo fiber loading and fiber agglomeration. The presence of HCl and NaCl affected the water structure and hence diffusivity. Jute-bamboo-BCFA and Glass-Bamboo-BCFA delaminated in boiling water within half an hour. Mechanical and electrical properties and water absorption behavior are affected by the nature of fibers and matrix, fiber loading and fiber arrangement. Fairly good mechanical and electrical properties of Jute-BCFA and Glass-BCFA and their low water absorption behavior signify their usefulness as low load bearing applications. Composites signify their use for low load bearing applications in construction, electrical and marine industries.     

Preparation and Physico-Chemical Study of Sandwich Glass-Jute-Bisphenol-C-Formaldehyde Resin Composites

Glass-Jute-bisphenol-C-formaldehyde (Glass-Jute-BCF) sandwich composites were prepared by hand lay-up technique at 150°C under 30.4 MPa pressure for 2 h. The resin, glass and jute fiber content in the sandwich composite were 33.3, 10.4 and 56.3 wt%, respectively. 10 prepregs containing 8 inner prepregs of jute mats sandwiched between 2 outer prepregs of glass mats. Glass-Jute-BCF sandwich composite has 23 MPa tensile strength, 119 MPa flexural strength, 1.72 kV/mm electric strength and 1.25 × 10¹² ohm cm volume resistivity. Tensile strength and volume resistivity both decreased, while flexural strength and electrical strength both improved upon hybridization. Sandwich composite showed high diffusivity in water, 10% NaCl and 10% HCl solutions as compared to Glass-BCF composite. Equilibrium water absorption time is found to be 72 h in all 3 environments. Comparatively low diffusivity is observed due to silane treated glass fibers. No effect of boiling water is observed on stability of composite. Saturation time in boiling water reduced 18 times without any damage to the composite. Glass-Jute-BCF sandwich composite may be useful for low load bearing applications in construction, electrical and electronic industries as well as in harsh acidic and saline environments.     

Preparation and Physicochemical Study of Hybrid Glass-Jute (Treated and Untreated) Bisphenol-C-Based Mixed Epoxy Phenolic Resin Composites

Glass-jute (treated and untreated) composites of mixed matrix materials [epoxy resin of bisphenol-C (EBC) and bisphenol-C-formaldehyde (BCF) of 50 wt.% of glass-jute fibers] have been prepared by hand layup technique at 150°C under 7.6 MPa pressure for 2 h. The hydrophilic character of the jute fibers has been reduced by acrylation of alkali-treated fibers with acrylic acid. Tensile strength increased from 87 MPa to 112 MPa (28.73%) and flexural strength increased from 66 MPa to 89 MPa (34.84%) on alkali treatment and acrylation. Similarly, electric strength increased from 2.71 to 3.89 kV/mm (43.54%) and volume resistivity increased from 1.23 × 10¹² to 1.77 × 10¹² Ω cm (143.90%). The edges of the 5 cm × 5 cm specimens were sealed with matrix material and subjected to distilled water and 10% each of aq. HCl and aq. NaCl solutions at room temperature for a water uptake study. The equilibrium water uptake was reduced drastically from 12.07–7.69% to 6.17–3.39% on acrylation. Similarly, diffusivity was also found to be reduced from 1.99–0.99% to 0.96–0.45%. Drastic reductions in water uptake and diffusivity are due to the replacement of hydrophobic ester groups. The reduction of water uptake is probably due to weak H-bond formation with ester and CH=CH groups, and π-electrons of benzene rings. No effect of boiling water is observed on the stability of the composite. Saturation time in boiling water was reduced twenty-eight/twenty-one times without any damage to the untreated/treated jute-glass composites, respectively.     

Preparation,Mechanical and Electrical Properties and Water Absorption Study of Novel Bisphenol-C-Formaldehyde-Acrylate Treated and Untreated Jute Composites

The depolarization current spectra for polyvinyledenefluoride (PVDF), poly methylmethacrylate (PMMA), and their double-layered samples have been recorded under different polarizing conditions. When double-layered sample is polarized at 323 K with high field, a new TSDC peak is observed that is inherent in PMMA and PVDF when considered individually. This is because of the trapping charge carriers at the PVDF–PMMA interface. The space charge peak is shifted toward the lower temperature side for the PMMA and PVDF samples; however, this trend of peak shifting was not found for double-layered samples. The trapping of charge carriers in the metal polymer interface is responsible for space charge peak. This trapping of charge carriers in polymer-polymer interface is interesting, and this process is responsible for interfacial polarization in double-layered samples.

Dispersion,Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Epoxy Resin Composites Filled with the Nanometer Carbon Black

The nanometer carbon black (CB) was employed to prepare epoxy resin/carbon black (EP/CB) composites by blending-casting method. The different modified methods of silicone coupling agent were used to improve the dispersion of CB in epoxy resin. The mechanical and thermal properties of EP/CB composites were investigated. Experimental results showed that the mechanical properties increased at first, but decreased with excessive addition of CB. When the mass fraction of CB was 2%, the mechanical properties were maximum. The use of modified CB significantly enhanced the mechanical properties of the composites. For given CB loading, the CB modified by pretreatment method displayed better dispersion in the epoxy resin than that of the direct mixing method. SEM observation revealed that the tensile fracture surface of the composite filled with 2 wt% modified CB held more microcracks than that of 5 wt% modified CB, and the formed microcracks could consume more energy of rupture, finally to have better tensile strength. DSC analysis showed that the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the composites increased with the increasing mass fraction of CB.

Polypropylene Hybrid Composites: A Preliminary Study on the use of Glass and Coconut Fiber as Reinforcements in Polypropylene Composites

Polypropylene hybrid composites were made using coconut and glass fibers as reinforcing agents in the polypropylene matrix. The incorporation of both fibers into the PP matrix has resulted in the reduction of flex-ural, tensile, and impact strengths and elongation at break. The reduction has been attributed to the increased incompatibility between the fibers and the PP matrix, and the irregularity in fiber size, especially for biofibers as shown by scanning electron micrographs. Both the flexural and tensile moduli have been improved with the increasing level of fiber loading. Most of the properties tested for Composites with high glass fibers/low biofiber loading are comparable with the ones with low glass fiber/high biofiber loading. The results show that more biofibers could be incorporated in hybrid composites which would give the same range of properties as the composites with higher loading of glass fibers.
