Effects of a Nd—Fe—B magnetic filler on the crystallization of poly(phenylene sulfide)

The crystallization of poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS) in a polymer–magnetic Nd—Fe—B powder suspension was studied. Isothermal crystallization behavior was analyzed by way of differential scanning calorimetry, and the kinetics were described via the Avrami equation. The Avrami parameters and the crystallization times were strongly affected by both the particle size and the presence of a coupling agent coated on the filler particles. The small Nd—Fe—B particles exhibited long induction and half‐times, whereas the large particles tended to have short crystallization times. Particles ranging from 38 to 150 μ appeared to have similar crystallization times and to have no significant change in the value of Avrami index with melt crystallization temperature. As a result of these analyses, the dynamic mechanical properties were determined to correlate the fundamental polymer crystallization characteristics and the physical properties of the PPS binder. The enhancement of the wetting of the filler to the binder was promoted through the coupling agent, as confirmed by dynamic mechanical testing performed on the samples. The storage modulus typically decreased because of the presence of the uncoated small particles. Conversely, the loss modulus was enhanced because of the presence of the coated small particles in the PPS binder. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 83: 1091–1102, 2002

Corrosion and mechanical behavior of fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) in aqueous media

In recent years there have been many reported cases of corrosion failure in cement concrete pipelines. In the majority of cases, the failures have been attributed to rebar corrosion which is caused by the permeability of chloride from low resistivity soil and subsequent attack on a passive layer on an iron bar in the structure. As a possible alternative to cementitious materials, some organic coatings based on olefin, vinyl or epoxy-based polymers have been considered. However, due to a paucity of data on the behavior of these coatings in aqueous media— particularly product water—the possibility of their application in water transmission systems in the Kingdom has not been fully exploited. This paper deals with the studies carried out on the corrosion and mechanical behavior of fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) coating on steel in aqueous media which include product water, distilled water and saline water. The mechanical testings on coating include adhesion, bending and cathodic disbondment testings. The corrosion studies include immersion testing under static and dynamic conditions, autoclave tests and accelerated (salt-fog) tests. The analysis of results indicates chemical inertness of FBE coating in either of the aforementioned water used during testing, good adhesion and no damage to the coating during bending. Cathodic disbondment tests indicate that FBE coating sustains under cathodic protection (CP) conditions. In general, the results of mechanical and corrosion tests indicate that FBE is a promising material for internal coating on steel in water transmission systems.

Room Temperature Curing Epoxy Adhesives for Elevated Temperature Service. Part III. The Effect of Silane Coupling Agents

The effect of silane coupling agents incorporated into the bulk of previously-developed room-temperature-curing epoxy adhesives^8,9,10 was studied. The physical and mechanical properties of corresponding aluminum bonded joints were characterized in ambient and humid-hot environments. Experimental results have demonstrated significant advantages of silane addition to the performance of these epoxy adhesives, especially under exposure to humid atmosphere. Thermal analysis of the polymerization processes, taking place during curing of the various low-temperature-curing formulations containing silane coupling agents, indicates that curing is not complete after seven days at room temperature, showing an exotherm at 80-100°C and a residual small one at 120°C. The basic formulation, comprising a tetra- and trifunctional epoxy resin blend and a multifunctional amine and ATBN cross-linking mixture, developed a three-phase matrix-rubber microstructure when the silane was added to the system.

Modeling the temperature-dependent mode I fracture behavior of adhesively bonded joints

An ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber film has been used as an inhibitor and insulation in solid rocket motors (SRMs) due to its excellent heat-insulating property. EPDM is wrapped on the surface of the grain layer-by-layer via an adhesive; thus, the adhesive property between EPDM films is one of the key factors that influence the structural integrity of an SRM. The adhesive properties are largely temperature dependent, therefore, it is essential to study the effect of temperature on the properties of the bonding interface between EPDM films. In this article, double cantilever sandwich beam (DCSB) and uniaxial tensile experiments were performed to study the temperature-dependent mode I fracture of the bonding interface, in the service temperature range of the SRMs. A comparison of experimental and numerical results obtained using experimental parameters indicates that the fracture parameters determined by the simple beam theory (SBT) and the compliance-based beam method (CBBM) are not accurate. Next, we obtained accurate parameters using an inverse analysis method. Moreover, we made an initial attempt to establish a temperature-dependent cohesive zone model to predict the temperature-dependent fracture behavior of adhesively bonded joints. Good agreement between experimental and numerical results demonstrates that this temperature-dependent model is applicable.     

Theoretical Method to Predict the First Microcracks in a Scarf Joint

In this work, we have calculated the theoretical threshold (F _d) of the first microcracks in the scarf joint. This threshold is particularly important because it marks the end of the elastic behavior of the bonded structure. At this point, the mechanical behavior of the adhesive is nonlinear and becomes dependent on the type of loading applied (dynamic tests, fatigue). Our method takes into account the geometrical variations of the joint as the scarf angle varies. We have used and adapted to our study a theoretical model based on the asymptotic-expansion method. The comparison between the theoretical values and the experimental thresholds determined by strain gauges and acoustic-emission techniques showed that the model accurately forecasts the microcracking of the joint provided that the scarf-angle value is more than 10°. When α is smaller than 10°, the theoretical model can no longer predict the very complex micromechanical behavior at the extremities of the joint, where the sharp ends of the adhesive layer and the metallic adherends coexist and react among themselves.     

Direct determination of a new mode-dependent cohesive zone model to simulate metal-to-metal adhesive joints

In this paper, a new mode-dependent cohesive zone model for the simulation of metal to metal adhesive joints is directly determined. Three consecutive steps have been taken into account for this end. First, double cantilever beam (DCB) and end-notched flexure (ENF) specimens are utilized for the direct experimental extraction of the traction-separation laws (TSLs) for adhesive bonded joints subjected to pure mode I and mode II, respectively. Next, the results are implemented to obtain the relative cohesive zone parameters for defining the simplified Park-Paulino-Roesler cohesive zone model (S-PPR CZM). Finally, mixed-mode characteristics parameters are derived for an arbitrary mode-mixity ratio based on pure mode TSLs. The model is further implemented in ABAQUS® commercial software to be verified against the experimental results of pure mode loadings which leads to the direct extraction of TSLs. The experiments conducted on the strength of single lap joint (SLJ) and scarf joint (SJ) specimens, commonly tested for mixed-mode loading, confirm the accuracy of the developed mixed-mode S-PPR model for different mode-mixity conditions.
