Abstract:

The thermoset polymers and the thermoplastic polymers matrix composites require different forming techniques due to the different properties of two classes of polymers. While the forming technique for thermoset polymer matrix composites does not require the use of special equipment, the thermoplastic polymer matrix composites imposes the rigorous control of temperature and pressure values. Each type of polymer transfers to the composite a set of properties that may be required for a certain application. It is difficult to design a composite with commonly brittle thermoset polymer matrix showing properties of a viscoelastic thermoplastic polymer matrix composite. One solution may consist in mixing a thermoset and a thermoplastic polymer getting a polymer blend that can be used as matrix to form a composite. This study is about using PMMA solutions to obtain thermoset-thermoplastic blends and to mechanically characterize the obtained materials. Three well known organic solvents were used to obtain the PMMA solutions, based on a previous study concerning with the effect of solvents presence into the epoxy structure.

Abstract:

In the past few years, a new passion for the growth of biodegradable polymers based on elements derived from natural sources has been getting much attention. Natural fiber-based polymer matrix composites offer weight loss, reduction in cost and carbon dioxide emission, and recyclability. In addition, natural fiber composites have a minimal impact on the environment in regards to global warming, health, and pollution. Polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the best natural resource polymers available among biodegradable polymers. Natural fiber–reinforced PLA polymer composites have been extensively researched by polymer researchers to compete with conventional polymers. The type of fiber used plays a massive part in fiber and matrix bonds and, thereby, influences the composite’s mechanical properties and thermal properties. Among the various natural fibers, low density, high strength bamboo fibers (BF) have attracted attention. PLA and bamboo fiber composites play a vital character in an extensive range of structural and non-structural applications. This review briefly discussed on currently developed PLA-based natural bamboo fiber–reinforced polymer composites concentrating on the property affiliation of fibers. PLA polymer–reinforced natural bamboo fiber used to establish composite materials, various composite fabrication methods, various pretreatment methods on fibers, their effect on mechanical properties, as well as thermal properties and applications on different fields of such composites are discussed in this study. This review also presents a summary of the issues in the fabrication of natural fiber composites.

AbstractFabrication of composites based on micro- and nanostructured hybrid polymers have been studied. A new technology for nanoparticle immobilization in the polymer matrix of the composite has been suggested. Its essence is to produce functional electronegative polymer segments in the polymer matrix, which are the main agents preventing nanoparticle mobilization in the polymer phase of a composite.

Abstract:

The mechanical response of polymer matrix composites exhibits a temperature dependency even if the service temperature range is lower than the glass transition temperature of the polymer matrix. This dependency is mainly due to the temperature effect on the mechanical behaviour of the polymer matrix. However, the micro- and meso-structures driving the composite anisotropy and local stress distribution play an essential role regarding the effect of temperature on damage mechanisms specific to reinforced polymers. There are few data in the literature on the sensitivity to temperature of damage mechanisms and scenarios of polymer matrix composites regardless of loading type. In this paper, after a synthetic literature review of the effect of temperature on polymers and polymer composites, several complementary tests are proposed to analyse the temperature effect on damage mechanisms undergone by laminated composites under in-plane quasi static loadings. These tests are applied to an acrylic-thermoplastic composite reinforced by glass fibres in its service temperature range of –20℃ to 60℃. The results show that the testing temperature has a significant impact on the mechanical response and damage mechanisms of the composite material in the selected temperature range, which is markedly lower than the glass transition temperature (around 100℃). While the temperature rise generates a gradual decrease in matrix stiffness and strength, the increase in matrix ductility associated to the stress heterogeneity in the composite microstructure produces a rise in the transverse cracking threshold and removes this damage mode during quasi-static tensile tests when the temperature shifts from 15℃ to 40℃.

Abstract:

Recently, advances have been made in the design, manufacture and application of composite materials. A great deal of this progress has been made in the field of Fibre-Reinforced-Plastics (FRP). FRP often have greater strength to weight and stiffness to weight ratios than traditional materials such as metals, which makes them ideal for use in many application especially in aeronautical and aerospace sectors. For example Carbon-Fibre-Reinforced-Plastics (CFRP) are becoming more common in civil and military aircraft structures. However, there remain many unanswered questions regarding the behaviour of these materials especially under in-service conditions such as fatigue. There is an increasingly urgent need to gain an understanding of how FRPs behave. To fully understand the fatigue of a material it is necessary to gain an understanding of how damage initiates and accumulates and how the damage will affect the materials properties. It is also clear that to fully utilise FRPs it is necessary to be able to model the relationship between microstructural damage and the materials mechanical properties. This work has characterised the fatigue life of a quasi-isotropic carbon fibre reinforced composite, HS/919, at four R ratios. These are R=0.1 (tension-tension), R=+10 (compression-compression), R = -0.3 and R=-3.3 (both tension-compression). Those R ratios with a majority compression loading cycle experienced lower fatigue lives than those with a mainly tensile loading cycle. The work also highlighted the delaminations were a major damage mechanism. Post failure analysis of the fatigue specimens showed that the primary delamination, was occurring at different interfaces dependent on the loading cycle. With a mainly tensile loading cycle the delamination was occurring at the 0°/90° interface. While the mainly compressive loading cycle showed delaminations at the 0°/45° interface. This phenomenon was investigated using a modified mixed-mode bending technique developed by Reeder and Crews at Nasa. Static and fatigue tests were carried out on both the highlighted interfaces at three mixed-modes, M_I/M_II of 1/3, 1/1 and 3/1. Static tests showed that the 0°/45° interface was the weaker. In the fatigue tests two phenomena were observed, 1) that the strain energy release rate steadily decreased with crack length, 2) the strain energy release rate initially increased and then decreased. This is due to fibre bridging which was seen in both interface but was more apparent for the tests at the 0°/90° interface. There was a large amount of scatter in the fatigue data, especially at the 0°/45° interface. This made fitting a Paris type law to crack growth rates impossible for this interface. A Paris law was fitted to the 0°/90° data. It was hoped to transfer this knowledge to fatigue coupons with inserts.

Abstract:

Low density polyethylene (LDPE) and Hytrel (a thermoplastic elastomer) were used as polymeric matrices in polymer + metal composites. The concentration of micrometric (Al, Ag and Ni) as well as nanometric particles (Al and Ag) was varied from 0 to 10 %. Composites were prepared by blending followed by injection molding. The resulting samples were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and focused ion beam (FIB) in order to determine their microstructure. Certain mechanical properties of the composites were also determined. Static and dynamic friction was measured. The scratch resistance of the specimens was determined. A study of the wear mechanisms in the samples was performed. The Al micro- and nanoparticles as well as Ni microparticles are well dispersed throughout the material while Ag micro and nanoparticles tend to form agglomerates. Generally the presence of microcomposites affects negatively the mechanical properties. For the nanoparticles, composites with a higher elastic modulus than that of the neat materials are achievable. For both micro- and nanocomposites it is feasible to lower the friction values with respective to the neat polymers. The addition of metal particles to polymers also improves the scratch resistance of the composites, particularly so for microcomposites. The inclusion of Ag and Ni particles causes an increase in the wear loss volume while Al can reduce the wear for both polymeric matrices.

Abstract:

Abstract The authors of this paper obtained residual strength and damage accumulation data on an unaged composite material system consisting of a graphite reinforced polymer [[0/90]2w]s five harness satin weave. Tests were conducted under ambient conditions as well as typical aircraft temperature (120°C). The data was intended to be used to develop models of damage and failure modes to predict remaining strength and life of the material as a function of material properties and environmental factors. The models are based on damage tolerance concepts where remaining strength is used as a measure of damage accumulated in the composite and failure is assumed to occur when the remaining strength equals the applied strength. Initial mechanical properties appeared unchanged from room temperature to elevated temperature (120°C). Matrix cracking, however, was markedly lower at elevated temperature. The major fatigue damage modes observed were matrix cracking and delamination. Residual strength for specimens fatigued at room temperature was only minimally affected while a stiffness reduction of approximately 7% was seen for specimens tested at 85 and 74 percent UTS and 50 and 75% life. At room temperature, the saturation crack density as a result of fatigue was the same as the crack saturation density found from tensile failure. At elevated temperature, the strength was again unaffected but the stiffness reduction was greater at about 12%. In addition, the crack saturation density for specimens fatigued at elevated temperature was the same as the saturation crack density for specimens fatigued at room temperature. Because no changes in remaining strength were found, the model originally considered in this study for life prediction could not be used. Further consideration will be given to using or developing a more suitable model after more data at elevated temperature and with moisture are obtained.

This paper studies the response of carbon fiber polymer matrix composites subjected to DC electric currents. We have developed a new fully instrumented experimental setup that enables one to measure electric field characteristics (amperage, voltage, resistance) and temperature at the surface of the electrified composites in real time. The experimental procedure ensured a low contact resistance between the composite and electrodes, high uniformity in the density of the applied electric current, and low resistance heating. An extensive experimental study on the electrical characterization of carbon fiber polymer composites of different composition, ply sequence, thickness, etc. was conducted. The effect of the resistance heating was carefully analyzed through experimental analysis as well as the finite element modeling.

Abstract:

The performance of fiber-reinforced composites is strongly influenced by the functionality of composite interphases. Sizing, i.e. functional coating (interlayer), is therefore tailored to improve the transfer of stress from the polymer matrix to the fiber reinforcement by enhancing fiber wettability, adhesion, compatibility, etc. The world market is dominated by glass reinforcement in unsaturated polyester. However, commercially produced sizing (wet chemical process) is heterogeneous with respect to the thickness and uniformity, and hydrolytically unstable. Companies search for new ways of solving the above problems. One of the alternative technologies is plasma polymerization. Plasma polymer films of hexamethyldisiloxane, vinyltriethoxysilane, and tetravinylsilane, pure and in a mixture with oxygen gas, were engineered as compatible interlayers for the glass fiber/polyester composite. The interlayers of controlled physicochemical properties were tailored using the deposition conditions with regard to the elemental composition, chemical structure, and Young’s modulus in order to improve adhesion bonding at the interlayer/glass and polyester/interlayer interfaces and tune the cross-linking of the plasma polymer. The optimized interlayer enabled a 6.5-fold increase of the short-beam strength compared to the untreated fibers. The short-beam strength of GF/polyester composite with the plasma polymer interlayer was 32% higher than that with commercial sizing developed for fiber-reinforced composites with a polyester matrix. The progress in plasmachemical processing of composite reinforcements enabled us to release a new conception of composites without interfaces.

Abstract:

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Recycling of advanced composites made from carbon fibers in epoxy resins is essential for two primary reasons. First, the energy necessary to produce carbon fibers is very high and therefore reusing these fibers could greatly reduce the lifecycle energy of components which use them. Second, if the material is allowed to break down in the environment, it will contribute to the growing presence of microplastics and other synthetic pollutants.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph"><b>Recyclability and Embodied Energy of Advanced Polymer Matrix Composites</b> discusses current recycling and disposal disposal methods—which typically do not aim for full circularity, but rather successive downcycling—and addresses the major challenge of aligning fibers into unidirectional tows of real value in high-performance composites.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph"><a href="https://www.sae.org/publications/edge-research-reports" target="_blank">Click here to access the full SAE EDGE</a><sup>TM</sup><a href="https://www.sae.org/publications/edge-research-reports" target="_blank"> Research Report portfolio.</a></div></div>
