Improvement of PBO fiber surface and PBO/PPESK composite interface properties with air DBD plasma treatment

The interface of fibrous composites is a key factor to the whole properties of the composites. In this study, the effects of air dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma discharge power density on surface properties of poly(p‐phenylene benzobisoxazole) (PBO) fiber and the interfacial adhesion of PBO fiber reinforced poly(phthalazinone ether sulfone ketone) (PPESK) composite were investigated by several characterization methods, including XPS, SEM, signal fiber tensile strength, interlaminar shear strength, and water absorption. After the air DBD plasma treatment at a power density of 41.4 W/cm³, XPS analysis showed that some polar functional groups were introduced on the PBO fiber surface, especially the emergence of a new oxygen‐containing group (?O–C = O group). SEM observations revealed that the air DBD plasma treatment had a great influence on surface morphologies of the PBO fiber, while the signal fiber tensile strength results showed only a small decline of 5.9% for the plasma‐treated fiber. Meanwhile, interlaminar shear strength value of PBO/PPESK composite was increased to 44.71 MPa by 34.5% and water absorption of the composite decreased from 0.46% for the untreated specimen to 0.27%. The results showed that the air DBD plasma treatment can effectively improve the properties of the PBO fiber surface and the PBO/PPESK composite interface. Results obtained from the above analyses also showed that both the fiber surface and the composite interface performance would be reduced when an undue plasma discharge power density was applied.

Interface characteristic of aramid fiber reinforced poly(phthalazinone ether sulfone ketone) composite

Interface is an important microstructure for advanced polymer‐matrix composite. The composite interface is the bridge and the link for stress transferring between the fiber and the matrix resin. In this work, oxygen plasma treatment was used for modification of aramid fiber surface. The effects of plasma treatment power on interlaminar shear strength of composite were evaluated by short‐beam shear test. The morphologies of both the aramid fiber surface and its composite interface fracture were observed by SEM. The chemical structure and surface chemical composition of the plasma‐treated and separated fibers were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and XPS, respectively. The results showed that the interlaminar shear strength of composite was enhanced by 33% with plasma treatment power of 200 W. The FTIR and XPS results indicated that the active functional groups were introduced onto the aramid fiber surface by plasma treatment forming chemical bonds with the poly(phthalazinone ether sulfone ketone) resin. The SEM results proved that the aramid fiber surface was roughened by plasma treatment enhancing the mechanical bond with the poly(phthalazinone ether sulfone ketone) resin. The composite rupture occurred from the composite interface to the fiber or the matrix resin. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The direct architecture of carbon fiber‐carbon nanofiber hierarchical reinforcements for superior interfacial properties of CF/epoxy composites

A simple and efficient chemical method was developed to graft directly carbon nanofibers (CNFs) onto carbon fiber (CF) surface to construct a CF‐CNF hierarchical reinforcing structure. The grafted CF reinforcements via covalent ester linkage at low temperature without any usage of dendrimer or catalyst was investigated by FTIR, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, dynamic contact angle analysis, and single fiber tensile testing. The results indicated that the CNFs with high density could effectively increase the polarity, wettability, and roughness of the CF surface. Simultaneous enhancements of the interfacial shear strength, flexural strength, and dynamic mechanical properties as well as the tensile strength of CFs were achieved, for an increase of 75.8%, 21.9%, 21.7%, and 0.5%, respectively. We believe the facile and effective method may provide a novel and promising interface design strategy for next‐generation advanced composite structures.     

Preparation of starch-based biocomposites reinforced with mercerized lignocellulosic fibers: Evaluation of their thermal,morphological, mechanical,and biodegradable properties

In the present paper, starch-based biocomposites have been prepared by reinforcing corn starch matrix with mercerized Abelmoschus esculentus lignocellulosic fibers. The effect of fiber content on mechanical properties of composite was investigated and found that tensile strength, compressive strength, and flexural strength at optimum fiber content were 69.1%, 93.7% and 105.1% increased to that of cross-linked corn starch matrix, respectively. The corn starch matrix and its composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric (TGA) analysis. The fiber reinforced composites were found to be highly thermal stable as compared to natural corn starch and cross-linked corn starch matrix. Further, water uptake and biodegradation studies of matrix and composites have also been studied.     

Mechanical properties and characteristic of surface treated bamboo fiber reinforced PP/PS blends

Bamboo fiber (BF) as organic filler is characterized by mechanical properties analysis and morphology examination for polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS) matrix blends. Effects of different filler content on tensile strength, flexural properties, and impact strength are proposed. It is observed from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies that addition of BF is beneficial in increasing mechanical strength via increasing the interface dispersed phase. The optimum tensile properties and impact properties of BF content were at 40 wt% for PP/PS/BF composite on melt mixing conditions. The results showed a significant improvement in mechanical properties of PP/PS/BF ternary blend composite. Comparing with untreated BF, content of carbon and nitrogen of treated BF decreased to 66.57 and 2.31%, oxygen content increased to 21.07%, and silicon content increased from 0 to 10.04%. The element ratio of O/C, N/C, and Si/C changed to 31.65, 3.47, and 15.08, respectively.     

Enhancement of mechanical and thermal properties of oil palm empty fruit bunch fiber poly(butylene adipate-co-terephtalate) biocomposites by matrix esterification using succinic anhydride

In this work, the oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) fiber was used as a source of lignocellulosic filler to fabricate a novel type of cost effective biodegradable composite, based on the aliphatic aromatic co-polyester poly(butylene adipate-co-terephtalate) PBAT (Ecoflex?), as a fully biodegradable thermoplastic polymer matrix. The aim of this research was to improve the new biocomposites' performance by chemical modification using succinic anhydride (SAH) as a coupling agent in the presence and absence of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) and benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as initiators. For the composite preparation, several blends were prepared with varying ratios of filler and matrix using the melt blending technique. The composites were prepared at various fiber contents of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 (wt %) and characterized. The effects of fiber loading and coupling agent loading on the thermal properties of biodegradable polymer composites were evaluated using thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used for morphological studies. The chemical structure of the new biocomposites was also analyzed using the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy technique. The PBAT biocomposite reinforced with 40 (wt %) of EFB fiber showed the best mechanical properties compared to the other PBAT/EFB fiber biocomposites. Biocomposite treatment with 4 (wt %) succinic anhydride (SAH) and 1 (wt %) dicumyl peroxide (DCP) improved both tensile and flexural strength as well as tensile and flexural modulus. The FTIR analyses proved the mechanical test results by presenting the evidence of successful esterification using SAH/DCP in the biocomposites' spectra. The SEM micrograph of the tensile fractured surfaces showed the improvement of fiber-matrix adhesion after using SAH. The TGA results showed that chemical modification using SAH/DCP improved the thermal stability of the PBAT/EFB biocomposite.     

The mechanical properties of plasma‐treated carbon fiber reinforced PA6 composites with CNT

The aim of this work is the evaluation of the effects of plasma treatment and the addition of CNT on the mechanical properties of carbon fibre/PA6 composite. A powder impregnation process with integrated inline continuous plasma of carbon fibers was used to produce CF/PA6 composite. CF/PA6 composite was processed into test laminates by compression moulding, and interface dominated composite properties were studied. The tensile and impact strength of composites containing CNT and plasma‐treated carbon fibres improved obviously. The tensile strength of nanocomposite largely increases with the increasing of the CNT content and then decreases when the CNT content is over 2%. The hydroxyl groups of the fibers surface are in favor of the wettability of carbon fibers by the polar matrix resin, which is resulting in a further interaction of the fiber surface with the curing system of the matrix resin.
