Surface treatments of subdenier monofilament polypropylene fibers to optimize their reinforcing efficiency in cementitious composites

The surface properties of polypropylene (PP) fibers have an important effect on their reinforcing efficiency in cementitious composites. Two new methods of modifying the surface of subdenier monofilament polypropylene fibers were introduced, as well as the performances of the fiber‐reinforced mortar. The results show that the surface modification improved the mechanical performance of the fiber‐reinforced mortars, such as compressive strength and flexural strength, and the reinforcing efficiency depends on the adopted method. The enhanced interfacial bonding between treated fibers and the cementitious matrix, compared with that of unmodified fibers, was investigated using scanning electronic microscopy. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Cracking control of concretes modified with short AR-glass fibers at early age. Experimental results on standard concrete and SCC

At early ages (less than 24 h), cracking can occur in concrete because it can be subjected to dimensional changes, due to shrinkage, can generate loads which are greater than the low strength capacity of the material at this age. This is especially the case in members with highly exposed surfaces, such as floor slabs or precast panels.

As any other cement based composite, Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) shrinks at an early age and can crack when shrinkage is restrained.

One possible solution to reduce the impact of early age shrinkage on concrete durability is to include low volumetric fractions of short fibers in order to control crack growth. To evaluate the cracking control ability of Alkali Resistant (AR) glass fibers in standard concrete and SCC, an experimental program, developed in accordance with the AR-glass fiber producer, was conducted. Two different types of AR-glass dispersible fibers, two concrete compositions and several volumetric fractions of fiber have been studied.

The experimental program included a mechanical characterization of the different concrete compositions (compression and flexural strength tests), free shrinkage tests, with and without air flow over the samples, and double restrained slab cracking tests (Kraai slab modified test).

The results obtained show that the inclusion of low volumetric fractions of the two types of AR-glass fiber under study can control the cracking produced due to very early age shrinkage on both standard concrete and SCC in two different ways: reducing the total cracked area and the maximum length of the cracks. Although, a non-linear dependence of cracked area on AR-glass fiber amount was found. A microscopic study of the cracked surface confirms the favorable effect of the presence of dispersed AR-glass fibers on cracking control.

When standard concrete and SCC results were compared, it was observed that, although SCC drying shrinkage was larger, standard concrete with a similar performance in the hardened state produced equivalent cracking area.     

PP/甘蔗皮纤维复合材料的拉伸性能

采用热压工艺制造聚丙烯(PP)/甘蔗皮纤维复合材料,并研究其拉伸性能。研究热压温度为175℃、压力为2 MPa、时间15 min工艺条件下纤维粒径大小和质量分数对复合材料拉伸强度和拉伸弹性模量的影响。结果表明:在甘蔗皮纤维质量分数为40%条件下,复合材料拉伸性能随着粒径减小呈现先增加后减少的趋势,当纤维粒径为40~60目(0.45~0.3 mm)时材料拉伸强度最大,为8.58 MPa,此时弹性模量为2.44 GPa;在相同纤维粒径40~60目条件下,纤维质量分数为40%时PP复合材料拉伸强度最大,纤维质量分数为50%时PP复合材料拉伸弹性模量最大,达到2.65 GPa。根据实验结果,甘蔗皮纤维增强PP复合材料在纤维粒径为40~60目、质量分数在40%时综合拉伸性能最佳。     

Pullout behavior of polypropylene fibers from cementitious matrix

A comprehensive experimental investigation was performed to understand the pullout behavior of polypropylene fibers from a cementitious matrix. The effect of embedded length on the pullout characteristics, the development of the interfacial bond with age of curing of matrix and the effect of exposure to degrading environments, like seawater and salt water, on the interfacial bond between the fibers and cementitious matrix were studied. The aim of these experiments was to understand the properties of fiber/matrix interface, which are of primary significance in predicting the overall behavior of fiber-reinforced cement-based composites. Polypropylene fibers have a weak bond with cementitious matrix because of smooth surface of fibers, which does not allow for sufficient friction to develop between the two. In this study a new method to improve the frictional bond by means of mechanical indentations of fibers was also proposed. The bonding performance was characterized by means of pullout tests of the plain and modified fibers from a cementitious matrix. An optimum level of fiber modification for maximization of bond efficiency was determined experimentally.     

Performance of fibers embedded in a cementitious matrix

Reinforcement of cementitious materials with short fibers has been proved to be an economical and effective way to convert these brittle materials to ductile products. Many fibers with different geometries have been used as reinforcement materials. Fibers bonding to cementitious materials play an important role in mechanical performance of these composites. This article describes the performance of (homemade) fibers as reinforcement in cement‐based materials by investigation on bonding characteristic of fiber to cement matrix. To this end, the fibers (glass, polypropylene, polyacrylonitrile (PAN), and high strength nylon 66 (N66)) are characterized using microscopy analysis, tensile strength, and alkali attack tests. The fibers embedded in the cement matrix, then, pulled‐out to evaluate their bonding to cementitious materials. SEM analysis is used to study fiber/cement interfacial transition zone. The results show that PAN fibers have the advantages of preparing for cementitious reinforcement. It was found that the reinforcing efficiency of fibers‐reinforced cementitious composites was strongly depending on interfacial contact area in fiber/matrix interface and chemical/physical properties of fibers. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Manufacture and properties of a structural synthetic polymer fiber‐containing nanoclay for concrete reinforcement

This study established the optimum conditions for structural synthetic polymer fiber manufacture to make a fiber having excellent tensile strength. Two polypropylene resins, differing in their melt indices, and four different draw ratio values were investigated, that is, 6, 7, 8, and 9, to establish which had the greatest influence on tensile strength. The tensile strength and the modulus of elasticity were measured for the manufactured fibers. In addition, nanoclay was added to polypropylene and polyolefin fibers to improve the mechanical properties of fiber‐reinforced cementitious composites. The optimum mixing ratio and draw ratio of the synthetic polymer fibers were established prior to nanoclay addition. Fiber mixing ratios (polypropylene:polyethylene) of 100:0, 90:10, and 85:15, a draw ratio of 8, and nanoclay additions of 1, 3, and 5 wt% were studied. The modulus of elasticity improved with nanoclay addition, while the tensile strength remained almost unchanged, except in the case of 100% polypropylene with 5 wt% nanoclay. POLYM.

Modelling of ageing effects on crack-bridging behaviour of AR-glass multifilament yarns embedded in cement-based matrix

This article focus on modelling of ageing effects on crack-bridging behaviour of AR-glass multifilament yarns embedded in cement-based matrix. In the first step, age-dependent changes in the crack-bridging behaviour of AR-glass multifilament yarns were investigated at the meso and micro levels. Two cementitious matrices were considered where the binder contained Portland cement clinker and ground granulated blast furnace slag cement, respectively. Mechanical characteristics of the bond between matrix and multifilament yarns after accelerated ageing were measured by means of double-sided yarn pullout tests. In these tests the multifilament yarns bridged a single crack in the matrix arising in a notched area of the specimen. Losses in performance with increasing age differed widely depending on matrix material composition. The essential cause of such losses was discovered to be the microscopic densification of the fibre-to-matrix interface. This led to increased bond intensity and restricted slip-ability of the filaments. Subsequently, these micro-structural phenomena were related to the mesoscopic material behaviour by means of a phenomenological bond model. This cross-linkage model describes the crack-bridging effect of the entire multifilament yarn at the single filament level. According to the model, each filament possesses a specific deformation length depending on its position in the cross-section of the yarn. This deformation length depends on bond characteristics between single filament and cementitious matrix, which vary with age. Characteristic values of the model were computed from load-crack width curves obtained from the yarn pullout tests. The changes in the microstructure were represented by the characteristic values of the model.     

Modification of Low-surface Energy Fibers used as Reinforcement in Cementitious Composites: A Review

This paper provides a review on the surface modification of low-surface energy fibers (polypropylene, polyethylene, and nylon) and discusses on the effects of these treatments toward the physical/mechanical properties of cement-based composite materials. These properties include the tensile, flexural, compressive strength and toughness, stress–strain behavior, modulus of elasticity, and workability. The effects of these treatments on the changes in the fiber/cement matrix interfacial properties are also presented. Studies have shown that various surface treatments have been used to improve the efficiency of the low-surface energy synthetic fibers in the cementitious composites. The modifications are on the basis of physical, chemical, and mechanical methods. The main achievements found have been the development of fibers with modified surface to optimize fiber–matrix adhesion. Moreover, the recently developed surface modifications will allow obtaining high-performance cementitious materials reinforced with the synthetic fibers.     

Adhesion of Polypropylene Fiber to Cement Matrix

Abstract

In this research, the adhesion of polypropylene (PP) fibers to cementitious matrix has been investigated and the chemical bonding and mechanical interlocking between PP fiber and hardened cement paste has been studied. Furthermore, thermodynamic work of adhesion and loss-function (dissipation energy) has been calculated in the PP-cement matrix model system. To investigate the work of adhesion, the pull-out test has been used. Also, the surface free energy and contact angle of the PP monofilaments and cement matrix have been measured using a tensiometer and the fiber–cement interfacial interactions and thermodynamic work of adhesion and loss-function were calculated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was used to study the fiber–cement matrix interfacial transition zone (ITZ). The results showed that the application of theories of polymer–polymer adhesion in fiber–cement matrix systems was feasible. To verify the accuracy of the method, the adhesion of two other fibers (nylon 6,6 and acrylic polymer) was studied.     

Effects of wheat straw fiber content and characteristics,and coupling agent concentration on the mechanical properties of wheat straw fiber‐polypropylene composites

Wheat straw fiber‐polypropylene (PP) composites were prepared to investigate the effects of wheat straw fiber content (10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 wt %), fiber size (9, 28, and 35 mesh), and maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP) concentration (1, 2, 5, and 10 wt %) on the static and dynamic mechanical properties of the wheat straw fiber‐PP composites in this study. The tensile modulus and strength of the composites increased linearly with increasing wheat straw fiber content up to 40%, whereas the elongation at break decreased dramatically to 3.78%. Compared with the composites made of the longer wheat straw fiber, the composites made of the fines (>35 mesh) had a slightly higher tensile strength of 31.2 MPa and tensile elongation of 5.39% at break. With increasing MAPP concentration, the composites showed an increase in tensile strength, and the highest tensile strength of 34.0 MPa occurred when the MAPP concentration reached 10 wt %. As wheat straw fiber content increased from 0 to 40%, the flexural modulus of the composites increased gradually from 1335 to 3437 MPa. The MAPP concentration and wheat straw fiber size distribution had no appreciable effect on the static flexural modulus of the composites. The storage flexural modulus of the composites increased with increasing wheat straw fiber content. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation on the fracture surface of the composites indicated that a high wheat straw fiber content (>30 wt %) resulted in fiber agglomeration and a reduction in interfacial bonding strength. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Study on molecular interaction in polyfunctional maleimide-modified polypropylene/pulp composites by ESCA,FTIR, and DSC

Explosion fiber and polypropylene were separately modified with m-phenylene bismaleimide. The surface properties of such a modified fiber were characterized by ESCA measurements and the chemical structure was identified by FTIR and ESCA. The modified fiber and the modified polypropylene were separately compounded with polypropylene and untreated fiber, and composites with two different concentrations of modifiers were prepared by compression molding. Most of the mechanical properties were improved when modified fiber or modified polypropylene was used. The modified composites also have better thermal properties. FTIR was used to quantify the adhesion between the fiber and polypropylene. It was found that the modifying agent is covalently bonded to the fiber and polypropylene. The change in percent crystallinity of polypropylene measured by DSC was found to be influenced by the presence of the modifier in the composite. A better understanding of the nature of adhesion has been achieved for the system.

The Effect of Sodium Ions on the Stability of the Interphase Region of Glass Fibre Reinforced Composites

The single embedded filament fragmentation and the short beam shear strength tests together with angle-resolved X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) have been used to investigate the interfacial region of vinyl ester composites reinforced with sized AR-glass fibres, with and without amino and vinyl functional adhesion promoters.

The 7-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS) deposit on AR-glass is susceptible to a thermal degradation during post-cure, which has been attributed to a base catalysed equilibration of the siloxane bonds. The functional groups of APS required for resin compatibility were buried beneath the surface layers, contributing to a low bond strength, furthermore, mobile sodium ions existed within the interfacial region. Aqueous extraction prior to fabrication enhanced the composite bond strength by removing the soluble silane oligomers, the sodium ions, and exposing the organo-functional groups for co-reaction with the matrix.

The silane deposit on AR-glass is made hygroscopic by the presence of sodium ions. This increased the equilibrium moisture content of AR-glass composites, and diminished their retained short beam shear strength in contrast to the E-glass control which retained its properties after redrying.

Some studies on mechanical properties of wood flour/continuous glass mat/polypropylene composite

The mechanical properties and the surface property of wood flour/continuous glass mat/polypropylene composites have been investigated. The suitability of wood flour as a filler for continuous glass mat–reinforced polypropylene has been tested using different mesh sizes (e.g., 20 and 40 mesh), as well as by varying the weight percentage of wood flour from 0%– 30%. Moreover, different treatments such as coupling agent A‐1100 and functionalized polypropylene grafting with maleic anhydride, and so forth, have also been used to improve the compatibility of wood flour and glass fiber with the polymer resin. In addition, the effects of the surface weight of glass mat and matrix resin have been studied. The extent of the improvement in mechanical properties depends on the wood flour content and size, the surface weight of the glass mat, the matrix resin, and the surface treatment of wood flour. After adding wood flour, the contact angle of distilled water on the composite surface decreases and the polar component of surface tension increases. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
