Abstract:

Although most materials contain more than one phase, and thus are multiphase materials, the definition of composite materials is commonly used to describe those materials containing more than one phase deliberately added to obtain certain desired physical properties. Composite materials are often classified according to their application, i.e. structural composites and electronic composites, but may also be classified according to the type of compounds making up the composite, i.e. metal/ceramic, ceramic/ceramie and metal/semiconductor composites. For structural composites it is also common to refer to the type of structural reinforcement; whisker-reinforced, fiber-reinforced, or particulate reinforced composites [1-4].For all types of composite materials, it is of fundamental importance to understand the relationship between the microstructure and the observed physical properties, and it is therefore vital to properly characterize the microstructure. The interfaces separating the different phases comprising the composite are of particular interest to understand. In structural composites the interface is often the weakest part, where fracture will nucleate, and in electronic composites structural defects at or near the interface will affect the critical electronic properties.

In the present investigations, Most of the engineering applications of metallic materials are replaced by polymeric based composite materials. Because of the low cost and accessible handling of polymer composite materials such as Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) matrix materials are used to make the composites with additions of filler enhance the properties of the matrix materials. In the present study, ABS matrix material is used to make the composite materials by adding the Teflon materials. Investigations are carried out to find the enhancement of the composites' mechanical properties. Optimizing the process parameters is done to identify the composite's most optimum used to get composite with better mechanical properties. SEM analysis and wear Debris are investigated to study the microscopic surface nature and behavior of the composites.

Abstract:

The state and prospects of development of production of composites based on various types of multicomponent raw materials (silicon oxide, slag, etc.) and their components are considered. Modern achievements in the field of condensed matter physics of composite materials with mineral matrices and various dimensional levels of fillers are considered. The approaches of leading scientific schools to the creation of composites are analyzed; it is revealed that many issues of obtaining multicomponent composite materials remain open. It is concluded that the optimization of the process of obtaining composites based on multicomponent raw materials should be carried out by changing the target functions and parameters that take into account all types of interaction of components. A method for selecting mineral matrices for the production of composite materials has been developed, the essence of which is to compare the component compositions of raw materials and composite materials, and the search for matrices is performed by the maximum optimal value of intermolecular distances in multicomponent raw materials and composite materials.

Abstract:

The waterproof and flame-retardant properties of corrugated paper (CP) reinforced epoxy resin sandwich composites are discussed. Two composites, a CP-reinforced epoxy composite (CP/E composite) and a CP-reinforced flame-retardant epoxy composite (CP/FRE composite), were developed in this study. A dipping bath was developed for impregnating the paper with epoxy and a flame-retardant epoxy solution to make the CP/P and CP/FRE composite panels. A room-temperature-cured epoxy resin was blended with various contents (10%, 20%, and 30%) of phosphorus-based flame-retardant compounds and then was used as a matrix to make CP/FRE-10, CP/FRE-20, and CP/FRE-30 composite materials. Water absorption tests of these composites were used to estimate the waterproof properties. In addition, vertical and horizontal burning tests were used to evaluate the flame-retardant properties of the composites.

Abstract:

Polymer composites materials are the subject of extensive studies because of their novel properties compared with their constituent materials. Dispersion stability of sub-micron sized particles in the medium is important from the point of colloidal views. In the present study, dispersion of nano-materials in the matrix polymer is one of the most important problems to enhance their mechanical properties. We tackled this problem to carry out surface modification of the nano-materials, such as carbon nano tubes (CNTs), using amphiphilic polymers, polyNvinylacetamide (PNVA), synthesized thorough radical polymerization. Hydrogen bond worked between PNVA onto the modified nano-materials and hydrophilic matrix, such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), to enhance surface adhesions and dispersions of the nano-materials in the matrix. As a result, the mechanical properties of their composites materials were strengthened. When CNTs were used in PVA, the transparency of the composite was also increased due to improvement of their dispersions. In addition, if the CNTs formed the networks in the composites, the highly conductive and transparent polymer composite films were fabricated.

Abstract:

Unlike conventional materials, composites have become a suitable form for a range of current applications in industry, hospital and sports. This is combined with their remarkable physical, thermal, galvanic and mechanical properties, as well as, in addition, their low weight and investment cost in the given cases. This review article attempts to provide a general concept of composite materials, definition and classification of composite materials, most commonly polymer matrix composites and metal matrix composites. Polypropylene polyurethane and aluminum alloy were selected as matrices for this extract given their attractive properties and their use in various applications. All kinds of research are devoted to a variety of building materials, material processing and various properties. The determination of mechanical data appears to be a significant iterative process in the development and design of composite materials and their components. With regard to the mechanical properties of composite materials, this article highlights some of the uncertainties and limitations that affect the evaluation of mechanical properties, ranging from material constituents, industrial process, test characteristics and environmental conditions.

Abstract:

Abstract The first part of the history of composites in aerospace emphasised materials with high specific strength and stiffness. This was followed by a quest for reliable manufacturing techniques that guaranteed sufficiently high fibre volume fractions in complex structural parts with reasonable cost. Further improvements are still possible leading, ultimately to an extension of the functionality of composite structures to non-mechanical functions. Reduction of material scatter and a more probability-based design approach, improved material properties, higher post buckling factors, improved crashworthiness concepts and improved NDI techniques are some of the evolutionary measures that could improve the performance of current composite structures. Modular design, increased co-curing, hybrid material structures, hybrid fabrication methods, innovative structural concepts and reduced development times are more revolutionary steps that could bring today’s solutions further. Manufacturing engineering is also important for achieving revolutionary change. Function integration such as embedded deicing, morphing,, and boundary-layer suction are among the next steps in weight and cost reduction, but now on the system level.

Abstract:

AbstractThe article presents the basic properties of composite materials used for the construction of special ships. Static and dynamic characteristics of materials such as wood and polyester-glass composites are presented. Noteworthy are materials such as surface modified wood and polyester-glass composites with the addition of recyclate. Composite materials are widely used materials for the construction of non-magnetic warships. The article describes the properties of surface modified wood with polymethyl methacrylate and a polyester-glass composite with the addition of recyclate. The recyclate is fragmented, milled polyester-glass scrap. The content of the recyclate greatly affects the mechanical properties of the composite. The properties of the composite with the addition of recyclate depend on the recyclate content as well as the production technology and size of the recycled granulates. The test results showed that the increase in the recycled content causes a decrease in the mechanical properties of the composite. However, it should be remembered that these materials originated from waste, waste that is not subject to self-degradation, which have a very negative impact on the natural environment. At present, where there is a very large pollution of the natural environment, the processing and management of huge amounts of composite waste is an essential goal. A significant amount of recyclate significantly reduces the mechanical properties of the composite; however, the same large amount of recycled material has been transformed and used. The manufactured material and its structural elements are still non-magnetic structures and can be used on a less loaded element. The choice of material for the construction of special ships elements is determined not only by its properties but also by knowledge, experience, method of processing, economic and technical risk.

Abstract:

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have high popularity, especially in the military field, but are now also being applied to the private and public sectors. One of the UAV components that require high material technology is the wing. The latest material technology developed as a material for unmanned aircraft wings is a composite material that has high strength and lightweight. This research aims to identify composite materials that can be used for unmanned aircraft wing structures. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with a literature study approach. The results of this theoretical study show that some of the latest composite materials that have been developed into materials for unmanned aircraft wings are Laminar Composites with a sandwich structure. Laminar and sandwich composites consist of various constituent materials such as Balsa wood fiber-glass and polyester resin, microparticles, Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer, polymer matrix composites reinforced with continuous fibers, Polymer matrix composites, E-glass/Epoxy, Kevlar/Epoxy, Carbon/Epoxy, woven fabrics, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene-carbon (ABS) laminated with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and uniaxial prepreg fabrics. Laminar and sandwich composite materials are a reference for developing unmanned aircraft wing structures that have resistant strength and lightweight.

Abstract:

A novel kind of environmentally friendly composite materials containing upper part of rice straw segments (URSS), poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and waste paper (WP) were prepared by hot-pressing at 140°C for 10 min. The tensile strength, tensile elongation and hardness of composites were measured. Results showed that the tensile strength and the strength at tensile break of the composites first increased and then decreased with increasing PVA content. Tensile strength was higher than the strength at tensile break at different PVA contents, indicating that URSS/PVA/WP composite materials had certain toughness. Otherwise, URSS/PVA/WP composite materials had higher tensile strength than URSS/PVA composites. The tensile strengths of them were respectively 9.25 MPa and 3.9 MPa when prepared at PVA content of 40%. The hardness of composites lay between 90 and 96. Negligible difference exists in every composite.

Abstract:

In the present study, the influence of the volume fraction of graphene on the tribological properties of copper matrix composites was examined. The composites were obtained by the spark plasma sintering technique in a vacuum. The designed sintering conditions (temperature 950°C, pressing pressure 50 MPa, time 15 min) allowed obtaining almost fully dense materials. The tribological behaviour of copper-graphene composite materials was analysed. The tests were conducted using a CSM Nano Tribometer employing ball-on-plate tribosystem. The friction and wear behaviour of copper-graphene composite materials were investigated. An optical microscope, interferometer, and scanning electron microscope were used to analyse the worn surfaces. In friction zone, the graphene acts as a solid lubricant, which results in the increase in the content in the composites positively influencing the tribological characteristics of the steel- Cu-graphene composite.

Abstract:

Paraffin and modified inorganic porous materials composites as phase change energy storage materials were prepared by absorbing paraffin in porous network of inorganic materials. In composite materials, paraffin was used as phase change material (PCM) for thermal energy storage, and γ-Al2O3 acted as supporting material, ethanol was solvent. A series of characterization were conducted to analyse and test the performance of the composite materials, and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) results showed that the PCM-3 composite has the melting latent heat of 115.9 kJ/kg with melting temperature of 63.0°C. Due to the capillary and surface tension forces between paraffin and γ-Al2O3, the leakage of melted paraffin from the composites can be prevented. Several kinds of paraffin mixtures were also studied by adsorbing into the supporting materials, so that the composite energy storage materials with different phase change temperature can be used in the building wall to storage thermal of different regions. In a word, the paraffin/γ-Al2O3 composites have a good thermal stability and can be used repeatedly.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate in vitro the shear bond strength to enamel, flexural strength, flexural modulus, and contraction stress of one orthodontic composite and two flowable composites. Orthodontic brackets were bonded to 45 human maxillary premolars with the composites Transbond XT, Filtek Z-350 flow and Opallis flow and tested for shear bond strength. For measurement of flexural strength and flexural modulus, specimens were fabricated and tested under flexion. For the contraction stress test, cylindrical specimens were tested and an extensometer determined the height of the specimens. The data were subjected to one-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=0.05). The shear bond strength values were significantly lower (p<0.05) for the flowable composites compared with the orthodontic composite. For the flexural strength, no statistically significant difference was found among the composites (p>0.05) while the flexural modulus was significantly higher (p<0.05) for Transbond XT than for Filtek Z-350 flow and Opallis flow. The orthodontic composite presented significantly lower contraction stress values than the flowable composites (p<0.05). The light-activated orthodontic composite material presented higher flexural modulus and shear bond strength and lower contraction stress than both flowable composites.

Full text

Abstract:

Magnetic composites of soft magnetic FeGa particles embedded in a silicone matrix have been synthesized. The Villari effect has been studied depending on the size and concentration of the particles and on the magnetic state of the composite. The results indicate a decrease in the Villari effect when the concentration of the magnetic particles increases. These results suggest a relationship between the Villari effect and the mechanical properties of the composites. The Young’s modulus of the composites has been obtained by microindentation and their values related to the intensity and slope of the Villari signals. The results are explained on the basis that the reduction in the cross section of the composite when submitted to stress is the main origin of the variation of the magnetic flux in the Villari effect in this kind of composite. It has also been obtained that the magnetic state of the composite plays an important role in the Villari signal. When the magnetization of the composite is greater, the magnetic flux across the composite is greater too and, so, the same reduction in the cross section originates a greater Villari signal.

This article reviews composite materials used for energy harvesting in electric vehicles, discussing mechanical characteristics, electrical conductivity, thermal stability, and cost-effectiveness. As a bonus, it delves into using composites in piezoelectric, electromagnetic, and thermoelectric energy harvesters. The high strength-to-weight ratio provided by composite materials is a major benefit for energy harvesting. Especially important in electric vehicles, where saving weight means saving money at the pump and driving farther between charges, this quality is a boon to the field. Many composite materials and their possible uses in energy harvesting systems are discussed in the article. These composites include polymer-based composites, metal-based composites, bio-waste-based hybrid composites and cement-based composites. In addition to describing the promising applications of composite materials for energy harvesting in electric vehicles, the article delves into the obstacles that must be overcome before the technology can reach its full potential. Energy harvesting devices could be more effective and reliable if composite materials were cheaper and less prone to damage. Further study is also required to determine the durability and dependability of composite materials for use in energy harvesting. However, composite materials show promise for energy harvesting in E.V.s. Further study and development are required before their full potential can be realized. This article discusses the significant challenges and potential for future research and development in composite materials for energy harvesting in electric vehicles. It thoroughly evaluates the latest advances and trends in this field.

Abstract:

Various composite materials have been developed for many of aircrafts feature and it is important to establish the composite materials characterization procedure based on the airworthiness requirement. Since properties of composites are a function of the properties of the constituent phases, their relative amounts, and processing methods, the overall processing must be carefully evaluated. This paper presents a composite materials evaluation procedure for composite aircraft and provide the effective statistical allowable to be approved by airworthiness certification agency. All material, specimens, fixtures and test results contained within this study were traceable and approved by the agency. In this study 8 different mechanical properties are obtained for 4 environmental conditions from 5 batches for robust sampling. By using modified coefficient of variation, the B-basis value of 0°tensile strength of carbon/epoxy unidirectional composite for elevated temperature/wet condition increases from 2,291MPa to 2,331MPa. The result would be applied to qualify domestic composite materials for aircraft within the level of a global standard.

Abstract:

Electrical and mechanical properties of polymer composite materials are investigated through the determination of resistivity and hardness for composites samples. Epoxy composite samples have been prepared with different concentrations of certain inorganic fillers such as; Titanium dioxide (TiO2) and Silica (SiO2), of various size (micro, nano and hybrid) to study the electrical and mechanical behavior. The volume resistivity reaches 3.23×1014 ohm.cm for the micro silica composite. Surface of composite material has been mechanically examined by hardness test. The results show that the resistivity of microcomposites and nanocmposites are increased with the decrease of filler concentration. But the resistivity of hybrid composites is increased with the increase of filler concentration. Maximum hardness value was obtained from hybrid silica composite with 0.1% filler concentration.

Abstract:

Several closed-form solutions exit to predict elastic constants of a composite material. Most of these methods give comparable results for epoxy matrix composites, but not for flexible matrix composites, where the matrix is much softer than the fiber. We have devised a method that uses energy values given by finite element analyses of composite models, subjected to various independent displacement conditions. Results for flexible matrix composites thus obtained are compared with those determined by some of the existing methods. Closed-form solutions are recommended for approximate prediction of the different elastic constants by this comparison.

Abstract:

Composite materials are created as a quite complex architecture which includes a fibre reinforcement structure and matrix material. Many material parameters play a role when composite structures are modelled, e.g. in finite element models. In addition to the properties of the raw fibre and matrix materials which are used, also geometrical parameters have a significant effect on structural characteristics. Fibre reinforcement geometry together with material properties of fibre and matrix determine homogenised material properties.The first part of the paper gives an overview of the most important processes which are used in composites processing industry. The factors which affect variability are also listed, and the effect of variability on material parameters is mentioned as well. The second part of the paper elaborates the identification of geometrical variability of the fibre reinforcement structure which is encountered with one particular type of composite material, namely a twill 2/2 carbon fibre weave with an epoxy matrix.

Abstract:

In the oil and gas industry, the demand for alternative materials is rising due to corrosion and the desire to reduce costs through weight reduction. Polymer composites are gaining attention for their corrosion resistance, favourable strength-to-weight ratio, and cost-effectiveness. The biopolymer composite is projected to have an output worth $4.95 billion between 2021 and 2025 and growth at a 5.38% compound annual growth rate. This review focuses on exploring the potential of natural fibres as reinforcement for biofibre polymer composite pipes in oil and gas, highlighting their ecofriendliness, biodegradability, and cost-efficiency. The paper assesses biopolymer composite pipes’ development, challenges, and applications, particularly those using continuous basalt and banana fibres. While basalt fibre has found field applications, banana fibre-reinforced polymer composites are still in the early research stages. Despite significant oil and gas industry players already endorsing polymer composites, further research is needed for biopolymer composites to address challenges like compatibility, environmental impact, standardisation, long-term durability, production processes, and regulatory acceptance. Advancing biocomposite research and exploring new research opportunities are essential for engineering advancements and advanced materials.

Abstract:

In recent trend, the most used fiber reinforced composite is the glass fiber composite. The glass-fiber composites have high strength and mechanical properties but it is costlier than sisal and jute fiber. Though the availability of the sisal and jute fiber is more, it cannot be used for high strength applications. A high strength-low cost fiber may serve the purpose. This project focuses on the experimental testing of hybrid composite materials. The hybrid composite materials are manufactured using three different fibers - sisal, glass and jute with epoxy resin with weight ratio of fiber to resin as 30:70. Four combinations of composite materials viz., sisal-epoxy, jute-epoxy, sisal-glass-epoxy and sisal-jute-epoxy are manufactured to the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards. The specimens are tested for their mechanical properties such as tensile and impact strength in Universal Testing machine. The results are compared with that of the individual properties of the glass fiber, sisal fiber, jute fiber composite and improvements in the strength-weight ratio and mechanical properties are studied.

Abstract:

Composite materials with plastic matrix consist of a fiber material, which is used as the core and a matrix material, which forms the volumetric majority around that fiber material. Glass fiber reinforced plastics (GRP) are polymer-based plastic matrix composites that are used in a wide range of applications. In this work, a plastic-based composite material, which is used in tractor bonnets, was produced and thermal analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of fracture surfaces for this material were performed. The SEM images of the fractured surfaces of the composites showed varied extents of fiber pull-outs under tensile failure modes. The nature of interfacial adhesion was discussed on the basis of the SEM study. A good correlation was established between the SEM study and the mechanical strength properties of the composites. However, it was observed that vinyl ester resin is a more suitable matrix for tractor bonnet parts due to its higher thermal resistance compared with orthophthalic resin.

Abstract:

Advanced composite materials are playing an increasingly important role in the design and fabrication of high performance space structures. Composite materials may be tailored for a particular application to establish a unique combination of high specific stiffness and strength, dimensional stability and specific damping which makes these materials ideal candidates for many applications in the hostile space environment. Demonstrative examples of typical applications to primary structures and payloads, each with a different set of performance requirements, are presented in this paper. Unfortunately, the use of polymer matrix composites for very long exposure to space has not been without problems due to various environmental effects which are discussed. The use of metal matrix composites is proposed as a possible solution to the problem. However, an understanding of the fundamental properties of composites and their response to space environmental effects is essential before the full benefit of these materials can be realized.

Abstract:

Copper-based composites strengthened with fullerene soot nanoparticles of 20–30 nm size in concentration up to 23 vol.% were prepared via two methods: mechanical mixing and molecular level mixing. The dependence of thermal conductivity on the carbon concentration was studied. Maxwell’s model describes well the change in the thermal conductivity of the composite obtained by molecular level mixing. However, thermal conductivity of the composite produced by mechanical mixing is significantly lower than the calculated values, due to structural inhomogeneity and residual stresses. Comparison of the thermal conductivity of Cu-fullerene soot composites with that of Cu-based composites described in the literature showed that the prepared materials are not inferior in thermal conductivity to composites containing carbon nanotubes, despite the fact that fullerene soot has a much lower thermal conductivity.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT This article investigates compressive and energy absorption characteristics for composites obtained by filling stainless steel micro lattice materials, manufactured via the selective laser melting method, with three different rubbers, including room temperature vulcanization silicone, natural rubber, and neoprene rubber. At the stage of building the composites with natural and neoprene rubbers, an experimental setup was designed for these two rubbers to be infiltrated into lattice spaces under vulcanization temperatures and high pressures. The results showed that the composites with silicone and neoprene matrix had a quite similar response as well as a seriously enhanced energy absorbing capacity and plateau stresses, in comparison with the corresponding lattice structures, for especially small sized lattice components. Also, the compression tests of the composite with natural rubber matrix clearly show that there should be no large differences between the individual mechanical properties of each component in the composite, and, in this way, the contribution of each component on the mechanical behavior of composite should be guaranteed to provide the satisfying performance.

Abstract:

The specific operating conditions of products made of thermoplastic materials necessitate targeted modification of polymer binders, which reduces the characteristic disadvantages of thermoplastics and enhances their advantages .The article examines some aspects of the use of composite materials based on thermoplastics. The most effective modifiers of polymer matrices, from the point of view of increasing their parameters of deformation-strength and tribotechnical characteristics, are components that prevent the development of thermo -oxidative destruction and tribocracking processes. In our opinion, the formed requirements for functional composite materials based on thermoplastics can be ensured by implementing the basic methodological principles, which consist in increasing the resistance to the effects of thermo oxidizing and operating environments and aging.

Abstract:

The mechanical properties for paper sheets composited with glucose (Glc), methyl cellulose (MC), and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) were investigated. The paper composites were prepared by immersing paper sheets in aqueous solutions of these materials and drying at 100 °C for 30 min. The stress–strain curves for these paper composites were measured by a uniaxial tensile apparatus with a stretching speed of 2 mm/min. The breaking stress and strain for untreated paper were 24 MPa and 0.016, respectively. The paper composites demonstrated stress–strain curves similar to the untreated paper; however, the breaking point largely differed for these composites. The breaking strain and breaking stress for the Glc composite slightly decreased and those for the MC composite gradually increased with the concentration of materials composited. Significant increases in the mechanical properties were observed for the CMC composite. The breaking stress, breaking strain, and breaking energy for the 3 wt.% CMC composite were 2.0-, 3.9-, and 8.0-fold higher than those for untreated paper, respectively. SEM photographs indicated that the CMC penetrated into the inner part of the paper. These results strongly suggest that the mechanical improvement for CMC composites can be understood as an enhancement of the bond strength between the paper fibrils by CMC, which acts as a bonding agent. It was also revealed that the breaking strain, breaking stress, and breaking energy for the CMC composites were at maximum at the first cycle and decreased gradually as the immersion cycles increased.
