Creep of aromatic polyamide fibres

Creep of Kevlar 29, Kevlar 49 and PRD 49-III fibres was investigated. The fibres exhibited transient creep and the strain-time relationship was represented by a logarithmic time law. The creep strain recovered with time when the load was removed. Upon reloading to the same creep stress the strain-time relationship was again logarithmic but the creep rate was reduced. Modulus measurements were made during the creep test and these showed that the modulus increased with time. This result indicated a crystallite rotation mechanism which could account for the experimentally observed creep strain. Creep in PRD 49-III fibres exhibited a small temperature dependence over the temperature range 20°C to 150°C. The apparent creep activation energy was consistent with the range of values reported for hydrogen bonding. This suggests one possible creep mechanism in which the combined action of stress and thermal activation causes rearrangement of intercrystalline bonds in the crystallite boundaries resulting in boundary creep. Boundary creep allows crystallite rotation which produces the macroscopic creep strain. Boundary creep is discussed in terms of the fibre morphology and a model of delayed elasticity.

Asbestos replacement aspects: Modification of the fibre-matrix interphase in lonomer based composites

Asbestos fibres, of the chrysotile variety, and chopped carbon fibres were pretreated by an in-situ polycondensation technique eventually resulting in a polyamide coating on the fibre surface. Ionomer based composites containing either carbon or asbestos fibres in random in plane fibre orientation were prepared, and the influence of this coating process on the tensile properties was investigated. It was found that for the asbestos-filled composites the presence of the nylon 6,6 interlayer improves the tensile performance, especially at moderate polyamide depositions. This is not the case with the pretreated carbon-filled composites for which carbon fibres with higher polyamide contents are preferred. Combinations of the treated asbestos fibres with carbon and/or aramid fibres may be used to reduce the asbestos content in asbestos-only based engineering plastics.     

Comparison of the toughening behavior of nylon 6 versus an amorphous polyamide using various maleated elastomers

The toughening effect of two types of elastomers based on ethylene/α-olefin copolymers, viz, an ethylene/propylene copolymer (EPR) with its maleated version, EPR-g-MA, and an ethylene/1-octene copolymer (EOR) with its maleated versions, EOR-g-MA-X% (X=0.35, 1.6, 2.5), for two classes of polyamides: semi-crystalline nylon 6 versus an amorphous polyamide (Zytel 330 from DuPont), designated as a-PA, was explored. The results are compared with those reported earlier based on a styrenic triblock copolymer having a hydrogenated midblock, SEBS, and its maleated version, SEBS-g-MA, elastomer system. Izod impact strength was examined as a function of rubber content, rubber particle size and temperature. All three factors influence the impact behavior considerably for the two polyamide matrices. The a-PA is found to require a somewhat lower content of rubber for toughening than nylon 6. Very similar optimum ranges of rubber particle sizes were observed for ternary blends of EOR-g-MA/EOR with each of the two polyamides while blends based on mixtures of EPR-g-MA/EPR and SEBS-g-MA/SEBS (where the total rubber content is 20% by weight) show only an upper limit for a-PA but an optimum range of particle sizes for nylon 6 for effective toughening. Higher EPR-g-MA contents lead to lower ductile-brittle transition temperatures (T_db) as expected; however, a-PA binary blends with EPR-g-MA have a much lower T_db than do nylon 6 blends when the content of the maleated elastomer is not high. A minimum in plots of ductile-brittle transition temperature versus particle size appears for ternary blends of each of the matrices with EOR-g-MA/EOR; blends based on SEBS-g-MA/SEBS, in most cases, show higher ductile-brittle transition temperatures, regardless of the matrix. However, blends with EPR-g-MA/EPR show comparable T_db with those based on EOR-g-MA/EOR for the amorphous polyamide but show the lowest ductile-brittle transition temperatures for nylon 6 within the range of particle sizes examined. For the blends with a bimodal size distribution, the global weight average rubber particle size is inappropriate for correlating the Izod impact strength and ductile-brittle transition temperature. In general, trends for this amorphous polyamide are rather similar to those of semi-crystalline nylon 6.     

Study on the long‐term thermal‐oxidative aging behavior of polyamide 6

The long‐term thermal‐oxidative aging behavior of polyamide 6 (PA6) was studied by comparison with the stabilized sample in this work. The variation of mechanical properties of the pure and the stabilized samples of PA6 with aging time at 110°C, 130°C, and 150°C were investigated, respectively. The aging mechanism of PA6 under heat and oxygen was studied in terms of the reduced viscosity, crystallization behavior, dynamic mechanical behavior, and chemical composition through the methods of polarized light microscopy (PLM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), X‐ray photoelectron energy spectrum (XPS), and so on. The results indicated that at the initial stage of aging, the molecular crosslinking reaction of PA6 dominated resulting in the increase of the mechanical strength, reduced viscosity, and the glass transition temperature of the sample. And the molecular degradation dominated in the subsequent aging process resulting in the decrease of the melting temperature, the increase of the crystallinity, and the formation of the oxides and peroxides products. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Toward Largely Enhanced Toughness and Balanced Strength in PA1012/EPDM Blends via Synergistic Effect of Sacrificial Bonds and Network Structure

Here, zinc-neutralized ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) ionomers with different neutralization levels are prepared through melt blending, and are then incorporated with polyamide 1012 (PA1012) to fabricate PA1012/EPDM ionomer blends. Interestingly, complex crosslinking networks are formed in the blends due to the construction of sacrificial bonds (Zn²⁺-carboxyl, Zn²⁺-amide). The as-formed network structure and sacrificial bond endow the PA/EPDM blends with largely enhanced toughness (16 times higher than that of neat PA), as well as balanced strength and stiffness. Meanwhile, the rheological behaviors of PA1012/EPDM ionomer blends indicate their relative low melting viscosity, which can avoid the processing shortcomings of plastics toughened with rubber. Moreover, PA1012/EPDM ionomer blends show obvious gelation behavior, and a maximum notched Izod impact strength exhibited at the gel point, in which unique double network structure can be observed obviously, indicating that there is a corresponding correlation between the rheological and mechanical parameters. Furthermore, the supper-toughening mechanism of PA1012/EPDM ionomer blends at gel point is explored, which origins from the large deformation and cavitation of rubber particles and the destruction of special double network morphologies. This study provides a novel and effective strategy to fabricate PA materials with outstanding toughness and excellent strength simultaneously.

The role of castor oil in epoxy and polyamide systems for coating and adhesive application

Summary  Over the past few years, the challenges of globalisation, consolidation and economical point of view have meant that manufacturers of epoxy formulations have to constantly improve their capability to meet the needs of customers. An active area for advancement is that of epoxy and polyamide resin with castor oil. Generally, people working in the coating industries are familiar with castor oil, but this paper provides information on the new use of castor oil in epoxy and polyamide resin. This novel product (castor oil-modified epoxy resin/castor oil-modified polyamide) provides a previously unattainable combination and improved flexibility and toughness to a variety of ambient cure applications. This communication will review the performance of these castor oil-modified epoxy and polyamide resin surface coatings and adhesives. Based on the results of this study, these systems offer some advantages without much affecting the traditional properties of epoxy and polyamide resin in a variety of applications.
