Effect of KH550 on the Preparation and Compatibility of Carbon Fibers Reinforced Silicone Rubber Composites

Silicone rubber has good heat resistance, but its mechanical properties are poor. To improve the mechanical properties of the silicone rubber, the carbon fiber / silicone rubber composites were prepared in this paper, in which the silicone rubber was used as the matrix, the high-performance carbon fiber (CF) treated with coupling agent is used as the reinforcement. The best composite formulation, the types and content of coupling agent are determined by testing mechanical properties of the composites. The morphology structures of the composites were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), the compatibility between carbon fiber and silicone rubber was studied by infrared spectrum analysis (IR), dynamic thermal mechanical analysis (DMA) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results show that the best composite formulation is silicone rubber of 100 phr, carbon fiber of 12 phr, coupling agent KH550 of 2.5 phr. The best first curing conditions are at 175 ^°C under 10 MPa for 30 min, the postcuring conditions are at 200 ^°C for 2h. The compatibility between carbon fiber treated with KH550 and silicon rubber is the best by SEM, IR, DMA and XPS analysis, and confirm that the coupling agent KH550 plays a compatilizer role in the preparation process of the carbon fiber/silicone rubber composites.

Mechanical properties study of micro‐ and nano‐hydroxyapatite reinforced ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene composites

This is a comparative study between ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) reinforced with micro‐ and nano‐hydroxyapatite (HA) under different filler content. The micro‐ and nano‐HA/UHMWPE composites were prepared by hot‐pressing method, and then compression strength, ball indentation hardness, creep resistance, friction, and wear properties were investigated. To explore mechanisms of these properties, differential scanning calorimetry, infrared spectrum, wettability, and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometry analysis were carried out on the samples. The results demonstrated that UHMWPE reinforced with micro‐ and nano‐HA would improve the ball indentation hardness, compression strength, creep resistance, wettability, and wear behavior. The mechanical properties for both micro‐ and nano‐HA/UHMWPE composites were comparable with pure UHMWPE. The mechanical properties of nano‐HA/UHMWPE composites are better compared with micro‐HA/UHMWPE composites and pure UHMWPE. The optimum filler quantity of micro‐ and nano‐HA/UHMWPE composites is found to be at 15 wt % and 10 wt %, separately. The micro‐ and nano‐HA/UHMWPE composites exhibit a low friction coefficient and good wear resistance at this content. The worn surface of HA/UHMWPE composites shows the wear mechanisms changed from furrow and scratch to surface rupture and delamination when the weight percent of micro‐ and nano‐HA exceed 15 wt % and 10 wt %. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Toughening and reinforcement of rigid PVC with silicone rubber/nano‐CACO3 shell‐core structured fillers

To improve the mechanical properties and structure of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)/nano‐CaCO₃ nano composite, a core (nano‐CaCO₃)/shell (SR) structured filler (40–60 nm) was successfully prepared by refluxing methyl vinyl silicone rubber (SR) and nano‐CaCO₃ particles (coupling agent KH550, KH560, or NDZ‐101 as interfacial modifier) in toluene with vigorous stirring, according to an encapsulation model. It is effective in rigid PVC composite's toughness and reinforcement. The interfacial modifier's structure and interaction of nanocomposites of PVC/SR/nano‐CaCO₃ were studied. The results indicate that KH560 has the optimal interfacial modificatory effect. The environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) study testified that PVC/SR/nano‐CaCO₃ nanocomposites had a typical rubber–plastics‐toughening mechanism. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Silica and diatomite fillers modified fluorine rubber composites treated by silane‐coupling agents

The fluorine rubber nanocomposites were prepared by using the silane‐coupling agents treated silica and diatomite, in which 3‐amino propyltriethoxysilane (KH550), 3‐mercapto‐propyl trimethoxysilane (KH590), and bis‐(γ‐triethoxysilylpropyl)‐tetrasulfide (Si69) of the coupling agent were used as the filler modifiers to increase the compatibility between filler and fluorine rubber. The structure and morphology of the composites were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The T_g and thermal stability of the composites were investigated by dynamic mechanical analysis and thermogravimetric analysis. The results showed that the best coupling agent was KH550 and 2 phr (parts per hundred rubber). The KH550‐modified compound filler was crosslinked with fluorine rubber, and the compatibility between filler and fluorine rubber was improved and further confirmed to improve the thermal properties of fluorine rubber with the KH550‐modified filler.

Fabrication and properties of nano‐ZnO/glass‐fiber‐reinforced polypropylene composites

Polypropylene (PP) is widely used in many fields, such as automobiles, medical devices, office equipment, pipe, and architecture. However, its high brittle transformation temperature, low mechanical strength, dyeing properties, antistatic properties, and poor impact resistance, considerably limit its further applications. Nano‐ZnO treated by KH550 coupling agent and glass fibers (GFs) were introduced in order to improve the mechanical performance and flowability of PP in this research. The crystallization behavior and microstructure of nano‐ZnO/GFs/PP hybrid composites were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The effect of crystallization behavior on the mechanical properties of the nanocomposites was investigated and analyzed. The results indicated that nano‐ZnO surface‐coupled by KH550 could be uniformly dispersed in the PP matrix. The incorporation of nano‐ZnO and GFs resulted in increases of the crystallization temperature and crystallization rate of PP and a decrease of the crystallization degree. The introduction of nano‐ZnO and GFs also enhanced the tensile strength and impact toughness of the hybrid composites and improved their fluidity. Composites containing 2% of nano‐ZnO and 40% of GFs possessed the optimum mechanical properties. J. VINYL ADDIT. TECHNOL., 2010. © 2010 Society of Plastics Engineers

Thermal,dielectric, and mechanical properties of SiC particles filled linear low‐density polyethylene composites

A thermally conductive linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE) composite with silicon carbide (SiC) as filler was prepared in a heat press molding. The SiC particles distributions were found to be rather uniform in matrix at both low and high filler content due to a powder mixing process employed. Differential scanning calorimeter results indicated that the SiC filler decreases the degree of crystallinity of LLDPE, and has no obvious influence on the melting temperature of LLDPE. Experimental results demonstrated that the LLDPE composites displays a high thermal conductivity of 1.48 Wm^?1 K^?1 and improved thermal stability at 55 wt % SiC content as compared to pure LLDPE. The surface treatment of SiC particles has a beneficial effect on improving the thermal conductivity. The dielectric constant and loss increased with SiC content, however, they still remained at relatively low levels (<10² Hz); whereas, the composites showed poorer mechanical properties as compared to pure LLDPE. In addition, combined use of small amount of alumina short fiber and SiC gave rise to improved overall properties of LLDPE composites. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009

Effect of silane KH‐550 to polypropylene/brucite composite

The effect of the KH‐550 type silane coupling agent on the properties of polypropylene (PP)/brucite (BC) composite was studied. X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and polarization optical microscope indicated that morphology structure of PP changed with the addition of KH‐550, which activated the heterogeneous nucleation centers on BC surface, which made the distribution of the spherulite diameter become narrow and uniform, and improved the dispersibility of BC in the matrix. Therefore, KH‐550 enhanced the interfacial adhesion of matrix‐filler and improved the compatibility of the PP/BC composite, when KH‐550's content was 2.9% the tensile strength and impact strength increased approximately by 90% and by 30%, respectively than PP/BC. Flow tests and IR proved that some reactions took place between BC and KH‐550. All the investigations showed KH‐550 was a proper coupling agent in the PP/BC composite. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Mechanical and thermal properties of polypropylene/modified basalt fabric composites

Basalt fabric (BF) was first treated with silane coupling agent KH550, modified basalt fabric (MBF) was obtained. Then MBF were molded with polypropylene (PP) matrix, and polypropylene/modified basalt fabrics (PP/MBF) composites were obtained. The influence of concentration and treating time of KH550 on MBF were characterized by hydrophilicity and lipophilicity. The tensile strength and morphology of basalt fabric were tested by single filament strength tester and scanning electron microscopy. The mechanical properties of composites were measured with electronic universal testing machine and impact testing machine, and the thermal properties were tested by thermogravimetric analysis and dynamic mechanical analysis. The results showed that the lipophilicity of MBF is improved significantly by KH550 while the tensile is nearly damaged. The mechanical properties of composites are larger than that of pure PP, among which the impact property was improved the most, showing 194.12% enhancement. The thermal stability and dynamic viscoelasticity were better than pure PP; furthermore, the concentration of KH550 virtually had no effect on the thermal stability. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

Influence of the coupling agent on the mechanical properties of SiCf/poly(phenylene benzobisoxazole) composites

Poly(phenylene benzobisoxazole) (PBO) was first used as matrix to fabricate the two‐dimensional SiC_f/PBO composites by a lamination method. Different amounts of coupling agent were introduced to improve the bonding between silicon carbide (SiC) fibers and the PBO matrix during the fabrication of the SiC_f/PBO composites. The surface structure and composition of the as‐received PBO and PBO treated with the coupling agent were analyzed, and the morphology and flexural strength of the composites were characterized. The Fourier transform infrared analysis indicated that the hydroxyl groups from the coupling agent were successfully introduced to PBO. The flexural strength of the composites increased at first with increasing content of the coupling agent but decreased with excessive addition of the coupling agent. The flexural strength of the composites was improved from 15 to 89 MPa. The test results suggested that the interaction between the SiC fiber and the treated PBO with the coupling agent was intensified. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Preparation and properties of epoxy/BN highly thermal conductive composites reinforced with SiC whisker

A simple method is reported to increase the thermal conductivity and improve the poor mechanical properties caused by high filler loadings of epoxy composites, simultaneously. Epoxy composites were prepared with micro‐boron nitride (BN) and silicon carbon whisker (SiCw) chemically treated by 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH550) and 3‐glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (KH560), respectively. Effects of surface modification of BN particles on the thermal conductivity and flexural strength of epoxy/BN composites were investigated. About 3% SiCw particles grafted with KH560 were incorporated into composites with BN grafted with KH550, which led to about 13.8–17.8% increase of the flexural strength as well as a marginal improvement of the thermal conductivity of composites, and they possessed good dielectric properties. In addition, dynamic mechanical analysis results showed that the storage modulus of composites increased significantly with the addition of fillers, while the glass transition temperature exhibited a slight decrease.
