Abstract:
The paper critically analyzed different interfacial enhancing methods used in thermoplastic composites. Although the absence of cross-linked polymer chains and chemical bonds on solidification enables the thermoplastics to be remelted, it creates weak interfacial adhesion between fibre reinforcements and the thermoplastic matrix. The weak fibre-matrix interface bonding reduces the efficiency with which the applied load can be transferred between these composite constituents, causing the composite to fail prematurely. Their need for high-temperature processing, poor compatibility with other polymer matrices, and relatively high viscosity render thermoplastics challenging when used to manufacture composite laminates. Therefore, various methods, including nanoparticles, changing the polarity of the fibre surface by plasma etching, chemical treatment with ozone, or an oxidative attack at the fibre surface, have been applied to improve the fibre/matrix bonding in thermoplastic composites. The fabrication steps followed in these techniques, their progress in research, and the associated toughening mechanisms are comprehensively discussed in this paper. The effect of different fibre-matrix interfacial enhancement methods on the mechanical properties of thermoplastic composites is also deliberated.

Abstract:
Using natural wood-fiber as reinforcement in commercial thermoplastics is gaining momentum due to its high specific properties and renewable resources. In this study, the effect of wood particle geometry size on mechanical properties of thermoplastics composite was investigated. The wood species that has been chosen is Kelempayan species (Neolamarckia cadamba) and reinforced with polypropylene using fiber geometry size of 75 and 250 ?m. Thermoplastic composites were produced from two types of ratio (30:70 and 10:90) between wood-fiber and polypropylene. Static bending and tensile strength were tested. The result showed that wood-fiber from 75 ?m geometry sizes with ratio of 30:70 between wood-fiber and polypropylene was most suitable in producing thermoplastic composites. The geometry sizes of wood particle as well as the ratio between wood-fiber and polypropylene were found to influence the mechanical properties of the thermoplastic composites.

Abstract:
Direct digital manufacturing of continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastics exhibits the potential to relieve many of the constraints placed on the current design and manufacture of composite structures. At present, the additive manufacturing of continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastics is demonstrated to varying extents; however, a comprehensive investigation of manufacturing defects and the quality of additively manufactured high fiber volume fraction continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites is limited. Considering the preliminary nature of the additive manufacturing of continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastics, composites processed in this manner are typically subject to various manufacturing defects, including excessive void content in the thermoplastic matrix. Generally, quality evaluation of processed composites in the literature is limited to test methods that are largely influenced by the properties of the continuous fiber reinforcement, and as such, defects in the thermoplastic matrix are usually less impactful on the results and are often overlooked. Hardware to facilitate the direct digital manufacturing of continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic matrix composites was developed, and specimens were successfully processed with intentionally varied void content. The quality of the additively manufactured specimens was then evaluated in terms of the measured maximum storage modulus, maximum loss modulus, damping factor and the glass transition temperature by means of dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). DMA allows for thermomechanical (i.e., highly matrix sensitive) evaluation of the composite specimens, specifically in terms of the measured elastic storage modulus, viscous loss modulus, damping factor and the glass transition temperature. Within the tested range of void contents from roughly 4–10%, evaluation by DMA resulted in a distinct reduction in the maximum measured storage modulus, maximum loss modulus and glass transition temperature with increasing void content, while the damping factor increased. Thus, the results of this work, which focused on the effect of void content on DMA measured properties, have demonstrated that DMA exhibits multi-faceted sensitivity to the presence of voids in the additively manufactured continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic specimens.

Abstract:
Joining of dissimilar thermoplastics and their composites is a challenge for thermal welding techniques due to different melting points. Reactive welding with an auxiliary functional material can offer the clear opportunities to develop joining processes due to robustness to joining dissimilar thermoplastic polymers and their composites. The current study employed reactive compatibilization to offer the possibility of joining an acrylic-based glass fiber composite to polyamide (PA)-12 by applying a hot-tool welding technique. For this purpose, composite plates are fabricated by a typical vacuum infusion and thin layer thermoplastic films are formed by a thermostamping of PA12 granules. Subsequently, the reactive welding of the interposed PA12 sheet and Elium®-GMA-Glass composite is conducted by hot-plate welding. A glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) as a compatibilizing agent is copolymerized with methyl methacrylate Elium® resin. During the hot-tool welding process of dissimilar thermoplastic material, GMA can react with the polyamide end groups. The heat distribution at the Elium® GMA/PA-12 interface is responsible for obtaining a strong joint. This study focuses on the functionality of the compatibilizer on the welding of acrylic-based composites with polyamide (PA)-12 while varying the assembly temperature. The flatwise tensile test proved the effectiveness of GMA on the interface bounding. The excellent bounding incompatible polymers Elium® resin (PMMA) and PA12 was achieved at 200 °C.

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:
Studies on weight reduction in aviation and space vehicles have gained momentum recently. Thermoplastic matrix composite materials are important alternative materials, especially due to their high specific strength, formability and recyclability. In this study, it is aimed to investigate the mechanical behavior of fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites for different fiber and layer configurations. Thermoplastic composite materials used in the study were produced by lamination technique. In composite production; Glass fiber and carbon-aramid hybrid fabrics were used as fiber, and polyethylene granules were used as matrix. Thermoplastic sheets were obtained by keeping polyethylene granules and woven fibers in the hot press for a certain period of time. The damage behavior of the composite test specimens under tensile load was tested for the number of layers and fiber type. As the number of layers increased, stiffness, damage load and deformations increased in thermoplastic composites. Using hybrid fabric instead of glass as fiber material increased the maximum damage load by 100%.

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:
Fiber-reinforced thermoplastic matrix composite laminates pose great potential for current and future aircraft components. Thermoplastic composites' recyclability, long shelf life, resistance to environmental conditions, and high toughness properties are rapidly increasing their application areas. In addition, its environmental hazardous is much lower compared to thermosets. Thermoplastic composites have gained an important position in aviation due to these properties. In this study, some joining methods that can be used for a thermoplastic matrix composite aircraft structure have been experimentally examined. The methods were compared by performing a single lap shear test (ASTM D5868) at the coupon level. In addition, details about a novel ultrasonic welding machine that performs the welded joining method are also given. Results show that the joint strength of thermoplastic composites can be tailored by the chosen method and corresponding parameters.

Abstract:
An effective integration of natural fibers into engineering thermoplastics requires sufficient thermal stability of natural fibers during processing, since melting temperature of engineering thermoplastics lies above 200 °C. The aim of the work was to protect natural fibers from the heat of the molten thermoplastic via coating with a modified epoxy resin, thus enabling manufacture of natural fiber-reinforced engineering thermoplastic composites with minimized thermal degradation of the fibers. Processing temperature comprised the range of engineering thermoplastic polyamide 6 (PA6), which was 225 °C. Flax fabrics were spray coated with partially bio-based epoxy resin and incorporated via hot press technique into a PA6 matrix. The composite samples including spray coated flax fibers as well as the reference flax fibers without coating were characterized with regard to their mechanical properties, namely bending and tensile tests, thermal properties with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) as well as thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and optical via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and computer tomography (CT). The results show that this approach enables manufacture of composites with reproducible mechanical properties, i.e. bending and tensile properties as well as enhanced thermal stabilities.

Abstract:
Fabrication of high-quality composites from thennoplastic prepregs requires careful selection of the processing cycles so that intimate contact at the ply interfaces is achieved resulting in the formation of strong interply bonds and the process-induced residual stress is minimized to ensure superior mechanical performance. The void formation and the consolidation mechanism were studied experimentally. A refined model was developed to relate the processing parameters of pressure, temperature and time to the interply intimate contact of thermoplastic composites. The model was developed by integrating a prepreg surface topology characterization with a resin flow analysis. Both unidirectional and cross-ply lay-ups were modeled. Two-ply unidirectional laminae fabricated from graphite-polysulfone and graphite-PEEK prepregs and [0/90/0]<sub>T</sub> laminates were consolidated using different processing cycles. Optical microscopy and scanning acoustic microscopy were used to obtain the degree of intimate contact data. Agreement between the measured and calculated degree of intimate contact was good. A finite element model was developed to analyze residual stresses in thermoplastic composites by combining a plane-strain elasticity analysis and a temperature-dependent matrix properties. The residual stress model takes into account the mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficients and the crystallization shrinkage of the matrix. [O₁₀/90₆]<sub>T</sub> graphite-PEEK laminates were manufactured at different cooling rates to verify the model. The induced residual thermal defonnations were measured by a shadow moire system. The model accurately estimated the out-of-plane displacement of the non-symmetrical laminates.<br>Ph. D.

Abstract:
CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO<br>Os materiais termoplásticos compósitos, tais como o polipropileno reforçado com fibras de vidro curtas, são usados cada vez mais em diversos setores industriais. O reforço da fibra de vidro é uma forma utilizada para melhorar as propriedades mecânicas dos termoplásticos, devido ao elevado módulo das fibras e à melhor adesão entre as fibras e a matriz polimérica. No entanto, há poucas informações referentes às propriedades desses fluidos na literatura. No presente trabalho, um estudo das propriedades cisalhantes e elongacionais do polipropileno reforçado com fibras de vidros curtas é apresentado. As viscosidades cisalhantes e elongacionais foram obtidas em um reômetro capilar através da medição da queda de pressão na entrada convergente de um capilar axissimétrico. Utilizaram-se duas geometrias diferentes na entrada do capilar, para a obtenção dos dados experimentais: as geometrias semi-hiperbólica convergente e cônica convergente. Neste último, a viscosidade elongacional foi obtida a partir da queda de pressão na entrada, utilizando as análises de Cogswell e Binding. Simulações numéricas foram realizadas com o objetivo de investigar o comportamento do polipropileno em um processo de extrusão. As equações de conservação de massa e quantidade de movimento foram resolvidas utilizando o método dos elementos finitos a partir do programa comercial Polyflow (Ansys). Para modelar o comportamento da mecânico viscoelástico do polipropileno foram utilizados os modelos de Maxwell, Oldroyd-B e Phan-Thien Tanner (PTT), no entanto a comparação entre os resultados numéricos e os experimentais obtidos no reômetro capilar não apresentaram concordância satisfatória.<br>Composite thermoplastic materials, like glass fiber reforced polypropropylene, are used increasingly in several industries. In particular, glass fiber reinforcement is used to improve the mechanical properties of thermoplastics, due to the high fiber modulous and to the better adesion between the fibers and the polymeric matrix. However, few data of material properties of these fluids are avaiable in the literature. In this work, a study of shear and elongational properties of a commercial short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene is presented. The shear and elongational viscosities were obtained using the pressure drop measured at a capillary rheometer, with axisymmetric converging dies. Two different die geometries were used: semihyperbolically convergent dies and conical convergent dies. In the last case, the elongational viscosity was obtained using the Cogswell and Binding analysis. Numerical simulations were also performed, to investigate the flow field through the extrusion die process, and to evaluate the pressure drop and elongational viscosity. The conservation equations of mass and momentum were solved via the finite element method, using the commercial program POLYFLOW (Ansys). The Maxwell, Oldroyd B and Phan Thien-Tanner (PTT) constitutive equations were used to model the viscoelastic mechanical behavior of Polypropylene, but the comparison between numerical results and experimental data obtained from the capillary rheometer did not show good agreement.

Abstract:
The goal of this research was to develop a controllable process to convert a thermoplastic powder-coated carbon-fiber towpreg into uniform and consolidated ribbon. The approach comprised four primary activities. (1) The patent and processing literature was studied to evaluate the state of the art. (2) A functional ribbon fabrication technique was developed by scaling-up, in a novel configuration, hardware components found in the literature. (3) The ex parte ribbonizing process was characterized by calibrating equipment, determining steady state and studying cause and effect between process parameters and ribbon quality. (4) Process design and control methods were derived from heat transfer and pulling force analyses. The ex parte ribbonizer process comprises a material handling system, a preheat region, a heated stationary bar assembly, and a cooled nip roller assembly. Appropriate timing of important contacts is key to fabricating quality ribbon. Process characterization and analyses revealed key flow mechanisms. Ribbon microstructure changes most at the bars. Ribbon macrostructure changes most at the nip. An isothermal bar contact is a practical processing constraint for ensuring uniform squeeze flow bar spreading. All bar drag force is attributed to shear stress in the interfacial viscous boundary layer between the towpreg and the stationary bar surface. Continually sensing pulling force is a good indication of process control. The research goal was achieved because the ex parte ribbonizer can be used to convert polymer powder towpreg into uniform and fully-consolidated ribbon in a controllable manner.

Abstract:
<p> Thermoplastic composite filament winding is an on-line consolidation process, where the composite experiences a complex temperature history and undergoes a number of temperature history affected microstructural changes that influence the structure's subsequent properties. These changes include melting, crystallization, void formation, degradation and consolidation. In the present study, models of the thermoplastic filament winding process were developed to identify and understand the relationships between process variables and the structure quality. These include models that describe the heat transfer, consolidation and crystallization processes that occur during fabrication of a filament wound composites structure.</p><p> A comprehensive thermal model of the thermoplastic filament winding process was developed to calculate the temperature profiles in the composite substrate and the towpreg temperature before entering the nippoint. A two-dimensional finite element heat transfer analysis for the composite-mandrel assembly was formulated in the polar coordinate system, which facilitates the description of the geometry and the boundary conditions. A four-node 'sector element' was used to describe the domain of interest. Sector elements were selected to give a better representation of the curved boundary shape which should improve accuracy with fewer elements compared to a finite element solution in the Cartesian-coordinate system. Hence the computational cost will be reduced. The second thermal analysis was a two-dimensional, Cartesian coordinate, finite element model of the towpreg as it enters the nippoint. The results show that the calculated temperature distribution in the composite substrate compared well with temperature data measured during winding and consolidation. The analysis also agrees with the experimental observation that the melt region is formed on the surface of the incoming towpreg in the nippoint and not on the substrate.</p><p> Incorporated with the heat transfer analysis were the consolidation and crystallization models. These models were used to calculate the degree of interply bonding and the crystallinity achieved during composite manufacture. Bonding and crystallinity developments during the winding process were investigated using the model. It is concluded that lower winding speed, higher hot-air heater nozzle temperature, and higher substrate preheating temperature yield higher nippoint temperature, better consolidation and a higher degree of crystallization. Complete consolidation and higher matrix crystallization will result in higher interlaminar strength of the wound composite structure.</p><br>Master of Science

Abstract:
One-, two- and three-dimensional transient heat transfer finite element models are developed to simulate the resistance welding process of pre-consolidated unidirectional AS4 carbon fibre reinforced Poly-ether-ether-ketone (APC-2/AS4) laminates with a metal mesh heating element, in a lap-shear configuration. The finite element models are used to investigate the effect of process and material parameters on the thermal behaviour of the coupon size welds, yielding to a better understanding of the process. The 1-D model determines: (a) the importance of including the latent heat of PEEK, and (b) the through-thickness temperature gradient away from the edges, for different tooling plate materials. The 2-D model simulates the cross-section of the process, considering the convective and irradiative heat losses from the areas of the heating element exposed to air. The 3-D model includes the heat conduction along the length of the laminates, to fully depict the thermal behaviour of the welds. Finally, the models are compared with experimental data.

Abstract:
This paper presents the methodology and results for ballistic impact testing of thermoplastic composite materials. Ten different materials are investigated. The impact behavior of Aluminum 6082 is used as a reference to compare the results. The impact tests are performed with a gas cannon. Force - time, displacement - time as well as velocity data are recorded. Analytic suggestions for the calculation of the penetration speed of the materials are compared with measured results. It can be seen that it is possible to calculate the penetration speed within a certain percentage of the measured value. Also, the absorbed energies during the penetration process are compared. The results show that glass fiber composites have a better impact material behavior than carbon fiber-reinforced composites (CFRP). Thermoplastic matrix systems are a cheap option for composites but they do not have a significant better high speed impact and damage behavior than duroplastic resins.

Abstract:
Thermoplastic composites offer many attractive characteristics such as no shelf life, high fracture toughness, high temperature resistance, recyclability etc. The short coming of thermoplastic composites is their high viscosity, even at processing temperature. Due to the high viscosity, techniques for the manufacturing of thermoplastic composite have been limited to molding processes such as compression molding, high temperature stamping, where high temperature, high pressure and long duration are used. The advent of automated fiber placement machine brings forward possibilities to manufacture of large thermoplastic composite components. This is due to the fact that heating and compaction is done on the go directly on the surface of the substrate, and the flexibility of the feeding head to conform to the shape of the mold. It is in the spirit of exploration for new manufacturing possibilities that Bell Helicopter has supported an inter industry- university project for the development of thermoplastic composite cones aimed at helicopter tail boom applications. The cone represents a segment of the helicopter tail boom. It is made using carbon/PEEK material and automated fiber placement. The work consists of the Determination of the lay-up sequence to address the loads, the Development of the manufacturing processes, the Measurement of temperature variation during the making of a ring, the Checking of the quality of the cone, Development of tube bending test set up, Development of theoretical calculations to determine the buckling load of the cone subjected to bending, Testing the cone under bending load, and Comparing the experimental buckling with calculated buckling load.

Abstract:
Thermoplastic composite driveshafts have demonstrated a 35% weight reduction and over 150% greater post ballistic damage survivability over legacy aluminum designs. This was achieved through the joint efforts of Automated Dynamics, NAVAIR, SURVICE Engineering, UTAS, and Sikorsky under a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II effort. An evolution of previous efforts, this paper describes subsequent work to optimize laminate architecture, materials, and structural qualifications to meet new performance requirements. SURVICE Engineering optimized the design of the driveshafts to meet new performance requirements supplied by Sikorsky. Automated Dynamics used its recently updated additive manufacturing process using high performance thermoplastic composites to rapidly manufacture prototype driveshafts. UTAS assembled and tested the composite driveshafts. The end goal is a high performance composite driveshaft that is a drop-in replacement for the legacy aluminum driveshaft. Driveshafts were tested to advance the program to a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 6.

Abstract:
Thermoplastic composites are serious competitor for classic epoxy composites. They have comparable properties to epoxy composites, but characterize much lower processing costs. There are several methods of manufacturing the components from thermoplastic composites. One of the most interesting method in terms of efficiency is thermoforming on a press. This technology allows to product of the aircraft parts such as: ribs, brackets, covers, stiffeners. Thermoplastic composites are resistant to most solvents such as grease, oil and aviation fuel. They are also non-flammable and heat-resistant. This all makes them suitable for use in aircraft as upholstery, casing or elements around the tank. PZL Mielec has been developing press thermoforming technologies since 2016 and is the owner of the several patents in this area.

Abstract:
A recent Phase II SBIR program focused on improving the survivability of driveshafts in rotorcraft applications while decreasing their weight. Thermoplastic composites were identified as a candidate material for achieving the goals of the program and a design was developed utilizing data from many previous sources and designs. Driveshafts were manufactured and validated against predicted static torque loads after withstanding a ballistic impact. The shafts showed a significant improvement in post-damaged strength over the legacy aluminum design with a weight reduction greater than 30%, exceeding all program goals. Automated Dynamics utilized recent process advancements in manufacturing both test coupons and driveshafts. This process takes advantage of unique aspects of in-situ composite consolidation to improve the bond affected between subsequent plies of pre-impregnated fiber reinforced thermoplastic materials on a continuous basis. Coupon test results demonstrated a 52% reduction in void content and greatly improved mechanical properties, further improving the performance over aluminum and thermoset composite driveshafts.

Abstract:
In the Cesar Department in Colombia, sustainable agriculture faces critical challenges despite its thriving livestock sector. Extensive cattle ranching and poor soil management worsen soil conditions. Additionally, significant environmental concerns arise from the substantial discharge of wastewater in the dairy processing industry. This study aims to valorize biosolids derived from wastewater during dairy plant disinfection to enhance sustainable livestock production. It explores the use of biosolids as the primary matrix for creating composted compounds and biopolymers for agricultural purposes. These composite materials utilize composted biosolids from the dairy industry as the main matrix (60%), blended with biodegradable polymers such as polybutylene adipate succinate (PBSA) and polylactic acid (PLA) as functional agents. This innovative approach contrasts with the prevailing literature on composite polymer materials, where polymers typically form the matrix and agricultural residues serve as fillers. Biosolids from Freskaleche S.A. undergo controlled thermal treatment and composting before being combined with PBSA and PLA polymers using an internal mixer. The development of these new compounds includes the evaluation of thermal stability, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and mechanical properties. It is noteworthy that Compost/PBSA composites exhibit promising compatibility and thermomechanical properties resembling pure PBSA, suggesting their potential as thermoplastic materials for producing plastic-based agricultural products. Regarding Compost/PLA blends, compost enhances chemical reactions in PLA polymeric chains, significantly altering their thermomechanical properties. This research provides valuable insights into the use of biosolids for manufacturing composite materials, offering a sustainable approach to address agricultural challenges in the Cesar region.
