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:
Carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRPs) can be classified according to whether the matrix is a thermoset or a thermoplastic. Thermoset-matrix composites are by tradition far more common, but thermoplastic-matrix composites are gaining in importance. There are several techniques for combining carbon fibres with a thermoplastic-matrix system. The composite’s characteristics as well as its manufacturing costs are dependent on the impregnation technique of the carbon fibre and the textile structure respectively. Carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastics (CFRTPs) are suitable for fast and economic production of high-performance components. Despite the higher material costs thermoplastic-matrix systems show cost benefits in comparison to thermoset-matrix due to substantial time savings in the production process. Moreover CFRTPs can be manufactured in large production runs. The commingling of reinforcement fibres with matrix fibres is a well-established process. Another approach is the coating of the carbon fibre with a thermoplastic subsequent to the carbon fibre production (carbonization, activation and deposition of sizing). The latter point is currently subject of research and is a promising method for further increasing the production speed. This paper presents the different possibilities of impregnating carbon fibres with a thermoplastic matrix. Diverse technologies along the process chain of the CFRTP production will be discussed.

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:
Interest in advanced thermoplastic composites for use in high performance structures stems from their order of magnitude improvement in fracture toughness and delamination resistance over epoxy based composites, their strong solvent resistance, and the possibility of dramatically lower fabrication costs through processing flexibility. The chemical and mechanical properties of semicrystalline thermoplastics depend on the morphology of the material, such as the crystallinity content and spherulite size. We describe here the use of x-ray diffraction to characterize the degree of crystallinity of the polyetheretherketone-graphite composite system, a leading thermoplastic candidate for use in aerospace vehicles. In reflection, diffraction from the microcrystalline graphite fibers dominates the scattered signal and must be adequately accounted for. The technique is useful on large samples and for quality control. In transmission, the graphite signal is weak, thus simplifying data analysis; however, sample thickness must be limited.

Abstract:
Carbon fiber–reinforced thermoplastic composites are gaining increasing interest in various applications thanks to their combined properties of high specific stiffness, high specific strength, and superior toughness. Their mechanical properties are highly dependent on the carbon fiber content. In this study, the carbonization-in-nitrogen method (CIN) developed in previous work is used to measure the fiber content of carbon fiber thermoplastic composites. Three types of carbon fiber thermoplastic composite samples were prepared using hot-melt impregnation. The carbon fiber thermoplastic composite sample is carbonized in a nitrogen environment alongside a neat resin sample that is used for calibrating the resin carbonization percentage. A good agreement is achieved between the nominal carbon fiber content and the carbon fiber content measured using the CIN method. It is concluded that the CIN method is an accurate and efficient way to characterize the carbon fiber content for carbon fiber thermoplastic composites. This work completes the verification of the CIN method, which enables extended application to thermoplastic composites. Moreover, it has its unique merits on evaluating the carbon fiber content for high-temperature and solvent-resistant thermoplastic composites that would encounter challenges using other methods.

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:

Wood-thermoplastic composites are a more environmental friendly alternative for pressure-treated lumber but can also replace engineering plastic products. These composites have been on the market for more than ten years now and have mainly been used in building and automotive applications. The use of these materials has shown that long-term properties, durability, and toughness are the main problems. The aim of this study was to investigate if silane crosslinking could be one way of solving these problems. Silane crosslinked woodthermoplastic composites with polyethylene as the matrix and wood flour as reinforcement were manufactured by melt compounding. A reactive extrusion process was developed where compounding of polyethylene and wood flour and silane grafting were carried out simultaneously. The extrusion process was optimized and used in larger scale profiling of crosslinked composites. The composite materials were evaluated using chemical analysis, mechanical testing, spectroscopic analysis, thermal analysis, and electron microscopy. The crosslinking reaction was shown to be initiated during compounding of the composites and was significantly increased upon storage in a high humidity sauna at elevated temperature. The crosslinked composites showed toughness, impact strength and creep properties superior to the non-crosslinked composites. Scanning electron microscopy on the fracture surface of the crosslinked composites revealed good interfacial adhesion between the wood fibres and the polyethylene matrix. Based on results from this study, it is proposed that silane crosslinking creates a three dimensional network in the polyethylene matrix with chemical bonding to the wood fibres.

Future evaluation of results from accelerated weathering studies will reveal if silane crosslinking can improve the durability of wood-thermoplastic composites during outdoor exposure. Investigation of the potential of silane crosslinking on other type of composite systems with other thermoplastic matrices and natural fibres would also be of interest.

Abstract:
A non-isothermal autohesion model was developed by combining a transient finite element heat transfer model with the isothermal autohesion model. Heat transfer analyses and the interfacial strength development analyses were conducted using the non-isothermal autohesion model on a polysulfone (Udel P1700) compact tension specimen, a 64-ply graphic (Thomel T300)/P1700 unidirectional composite, and a 192-ply graphite (Hercules AS4)/P1700 unidirectional composite. A 64-ply T300/P1700 unidirectional composite was processed in a matched metal mold. Temperature data were taken and compared with the calculated values. Good agreement was observed between the calculated and the measured temperature values. A healing test which aimed at studying the interplay bond development in AS4/P1700 unidirectional composites was performed. The double cantilevered beam (DCD) Mode l fracture toughness test was selected. The DCB specimens were fractured and healed in a special fixture with different combinations of temperature pressure, and time. The healed DCB specimens were refractured and the critical strain energy release rates (GIC) were measured. The pressure was found to be a key factor in the healing process. Temperature and time dependencies of the interply bond development were also observed. The non-isothermal autohesion model predicted a higher strength achieved in a shorter time. This was due to the extra time which was needed for the fracture interface to achieve intimate contact, and the assumption of the initial intimate contact achievement of the non-isothermal autohesion model.

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]T 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]T 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.

Abstract:
The objective of this study was to develop tests that could be used to characterize autohesive strength development in amorphous thermoplastic resins and fiber-reinforced thermoplastic prepregs. All tests were performed using polysulfone P1700 thermoplastic resin and AS4/P1700 graphite-polysulfone prepreg. Two test methods were examined to measure autohesion in neat resin samples. These included an interfacial tension test based on the ASTM tensile adhesion test (ASTM D897) and a fracture toughness test using a compact tension (CT) specimen (based on the ASTM toughness test for metals ASTM E399-83). The interfacial tensile test proved to be very difficult to perform and with an unacceptable amount of data scatter. The data obtained using the compact tension test were repeatable and could be correlated with temperature and contact time. Autohesive strength development in fiber-reinforced prepreg samples was measured using a double cantilever beam (DCB) interlaminar fracture toughness test. The fracture mechanisms were determined to be different in the healed DCB specimen than the virgin specimen due to resin flow at the crack plane during the healing tests. The CT test was found suitable for use in determining the autohesive properties and self-diffusion coefficient of neat resin. The DCB test, although not suitable for autohesive testing, indicated that repair of thermoplastic matrix composites is possible; however, the repair will not be as tough as the virgin material.

Abstract:
Thermoplastics have shown promise as a choice of material for production of lightweight structures for cryogenic storage. To fully utilize thermoplastics for such applications, cryogenic fuel leakage through transverse cracks in these structures must be studied. Thermoplastic composites (carbon fiber reinforced PEEK and Nylon) were 3D printed using fused deposition modeling. Test specimens were thermally cycled from ambient (23ºC) to cryogenic (-196ºC) temperatures and gas permeability measurements were conducted at selected cryogenic cycles. Results show that carbon fiber/PEEK specimens had the lowest gas permeability after 50 cryogenic cycles with no through-thickness crack networks. The gas permeability of 3D printed thermoplastic composites was several magnitudes lower than the leak rate allowables for different launch vehicles. Tensile tests, post cryogenic cycling, revealed a reduction in the tensile strength and modulus of the 3D printed specimens with CF/PEEK having the best mechanical and permeability performance.

Abstract:
Abstract Thermoplastic composites are highly recommended for structural application, not only for their superior characteristics derived from the fiber and matrix materials but also for their recycling possibilities, which is a major issue in the today’s engineering practice. The manufacturing techniques for thermoplastics are different from those for the well-established thermoset composites. This paper addresses the quality of the thermoplastic composites by assessing the distribution of the fiber, the void contents and the waviness of the fibers, compared to the thermoset composites. IM7/PEEK and AS4/PA12 are the two thermoplastic composite systems used for this study, whereas, IM7/8552 is the thermoset composite used as reference. The specimens were examined using optical microscopy and computed tomography (CT) and the results were statistically treated using circular statistics. Compared to the IM7/8552 composite, the analysis reveals that the IM7/PEEK and AS4/PA12 composites, manufactured by ATP result in a higher volume of voids. On the other hand, ATP processing improves the alignment of the fibers, as the solidification process occurs while the fibers are in tension. The microscopy studies also show that the ATP manufactured composites have an area in between the different layers of tape with a low number of fibers, compared to the other areas.

Abstract:
Wear reduction by Carbon Nanotube (CNT) addition in composites with Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE), Polyimide (PI), Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and epoxy resins have been reported separately. We studied Polypropylene (PP) and Polyamide (PA) composites and showed that with the addition of Multi-wall Carbon Nanotube (VGCF: Vapor Grown Carbon Fiber), wear decreased for PA composites but increased for PP composites. Differences in tribological characteristics of CNT composites with different resins were not well understood. In this paper, we compared tribological and mechanical characteristics of VGCF composites with PE, PP, and Polyacetal (POM) resins. Ball-on-Disk wear tests and mechanical strength measurements were performed. It was found that with the increase in VGCF content, specific wear amount (SWA) of VGCF-PE composite decreased while SWA of VGCF-POM composite stayed almost constant and SWA of VGCF-PP composite increased. On the other hand, with the increase in VGCF content, the tensile strength of VGCF-PE composite was increased but those of VGCF-PP and VGCF-POM composite were decreased. Decrease in SWA of VGCF-PE composite corresponded to the increase in tensile strength with VGCF content. We considered that the intermolecular force between side wall of VGCF and PE was strong enough to make both the SWA small and the tensile strength large.

Abstract:
There are many options for tribological applications of basic polymers primarily as matrices and fillers of compound material due to the structural peculiarities of polymers. The polymer materials for tribosystems and their processing technique are briefly described. It is shown that composites with thermoplastic matrix are effective antifriction materials just as composites with thermosetting matrix is basically used as brake materials. Information on tribological behavior of polymer-based materials is presented. Polymer nanocomposites made by mixing nanofillers with melted thermoplastics are considered. The use cases of polymer composites and nanocomposites in industry are described.
