Mechanical properties, crystallization and melting behaviors of carbon fiber-reinforced PA6 composites

Polyamide-6 (PA6)/carbon fiber (CF) composites were prepared by melt-extrusion via continuous fiber fed during extruding. The mechanical, thermal properties, and crystallization behavior of PA6/CF composites were investigated. It was found that the tensile modulus and strength of the composites were increased with the addition of CF, while their elongations at break were decreased. Scanning electron microscopy observation on the fracture surfaces showed the fine dispersion of CF and strong interfacial adhesion between fibers and matrix. Dynamic mechanical analysis results showed that the storage modulus of PA6/CF composites was improved with the addition of CF. Non-isothermal crystallization analysis showed that the CF plays a role as nucleating agent in PA6 matrix, and the α-form crystalline structure was favorable in the PA6/CF composites, as confirmed from the X-ray diffraction analysis. A trans-crystallization layer around CF could be observed by polarizing optical microscopy, which proved the nucleation effect of carbon fiber surface on the crystallization of PA6. The thermal stability of PA6/CF composites was also enhanced.     

Influence of maleic anhydride-grafted EPDM and flame retardant on interfacial interaction of glass fiber reinforced PA-66

In this paper, the effects of melamine polyphosphate flame retardant (MPP-FR) and maleic anhydride-grafted EPDM (MA-EPDM) on the interfacial interaction of PA66/GF were investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), rheological behavior and mechanical properties. The experimental results demonstrate that MPP-FR and MA-EPDM could effectively improve interfacial interactions between the PA66 and GF. Based on SEM, good interfacial adhesion between PA66 and GF in PA66/GF/FR and PA66/GF/FR/MA-EPDM composites was observed, however, MPP-FR destroyed the PA66 matrix. DMA results show that MPP-FR increased glass transition temperature (T_g) and storage modulus, and lower tan δ, while MA-EPDM showed a little effect on them in PA66/GF/FR/MA-EPDM composite compared with PA66/GF/FR. MPP-FR made PA66 crystallization temperature and the activation energy of the macromolecular segments transport increase clearly, and enhanced crystallization degree of PA66 according to DSC results. These results demonstrate MPP-FR presented the nucleate effect for the crystallization of PA66. At the low shear rate, MPP-FR and MA-EPDM obviously enhanced apparent viscosities of the composites. This is attributed that MPP-FR improved the interfacial interaction of the composites, and MA-EPDM promoted the formation of high molecular weight structures by the reactions between MA and amine groups. All results in this paper were consistent, and showed the good interaction among PA66, GF, MPP and MA-EPDM, which were proved by the mechanical properties of the composites.

Influence of interfacial interactions on the mechanical behavior of hybrid composites of polypropylene / short glass fibers / hollow glass beads

Ternary composites of Polypropylene (PP)/Short Glass fibers (GF)/Hollow Glass Beads (HGB), with varying total and relative GF/HGB contents and using untreated and aminosilane-treated HGB compatibilized with maleated-PP, were prepared by direct injection molding of pre-extrusion compounded GF and HGB concentrates. The mechanical strength properties (tensile, flexural and Izod impact) were correlated with theoretical model predictions for hybrid composites, which identified synergistic gains over the rule of hybrid mixtures, depending upon the degree of interfacial interactions between the components of the hybrid composite. SEM analysis of cryofractured composites surfaces revealed that the presence of untreated HGB particles induces fiber-polymer interfacial decoupling under mechanical loading of the hybrid composites at much lower stress levels than in the presence of treated HGB particles. Higher storage modulus (E′) and lower mechanical damping (tan δ) from DMTA established the importance of strong polymer-hybrid reinforcement interfacial interactions in the development of lightweight/high strength PP syntactic foams.     

Short Twaron aramid fiber reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane

Mechanical, dynamic mechanical, and rheological behaviors of a short p‐aramid fiber reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) have been studied in the range of 0–30 wt% of fibers. The tensile strength of the composite is improved slightly at higher fiber content with a minimum at around 10 wt% of fibers. The addition of fibers markedly reduces elongation at break and entails a steady increase in the elastic modulus, but decreases the wear resistance of the matrix. Storage modulus (E′) is increased and the shapes of loss tangent (tan δ) peaks point to a possible fiber–matrix interaction. Rheological studies show a power law behavior for all composites and increased viscosity with fiber loading. Study of the tensile and cryogenic fracture surfaces by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicates good correlation between the modes of failure and strength of the composites. The micrographs reveal good interfacial adhesion and extensive peeling and fibrillation of the fibers in the compounded and fractured composites. Theoretical models have been used to fit the experimental modulus data. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Mechanical and viscoelastic properties of chitin fiber reinforced poly(ε-caprolactone)

Poly(ε-caprolactone)/chitin fiber (PCL-CF) composites as potential bone substitutes were prepared using a simple melt-processing method. The results from differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) showed that there was interaction between PCL and CF. Static mechanical testing showed that tensile strength, Young’s modulus and flexural strength were increased by the addition of CF. The measurements from DMTA and an advanced rheometric expansion system showed that both the storage modulus and loss modulus were enhanced by CF. The PCL-CF composite with CF of 45% by mass had the best properties among all the tested composites.

Synergistic effect of polyfunctional silane coupling agent and styrene acrylonitrile copolymer on the water‐resistant and mechanical performances of glass fiber–reinforced polyamide 6

Adverse effects of a high‐water absorption rate on properties of a glass fiber–reinforced polyamide 6 (GF‐PA6) composite significantly reduce performance and limit application in humid environments. In this paper, a polyfunctional silane (PFS) coupling agent with amino (–NH₂) and imino (–NH) groups and styrene acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN) were added to a composite, GF‐PA6, to prepare GF‐PA6/SAN/PFS composites via melt blending in a twin‐screw extruder. The effects of SAN and PFS content on the static and dynamic mechanical properties of the composites before and after water absorption were investigated in detail. The microstructure of the fracture surface was analyzed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that the addition of SAN and PFS could effectively inhibit water absorption of the GF‐PA6 composites. The alkoxyl groups on PFS reacted chemically with the nitrile groups of SAN, which enriched SAN on the interface between the fiber and matrix during the extrusion and mixing process to improve the effect of water prevention. Therefore, the mechanical properties of the wet state were notably improved while preventing water from permeating the interface by only the addition of a small amount of SAN and PFS. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) results showed that the addition of PFS improved the compatibility of PA6 with SAN and enhanced the interface adhesion between fiber and PA6. In terms of test result of the comprehensive performance, 10 phr SAN with 0.6 phr PFS was the best dosage.     

Ternary blends based on poly (ethylene-naphthalate)/glass fibers/nitrile rubber: Preparation,properties and effect of dynamic vulcanization

This work studied the possibility of utilizing nitrile rubber (NBR) to modify the impact properties of poly (ethylene-naphthalate) (PEN). The PEN/NBR ratio used changed from 100/0 to 60/40. At the same time, glass fibers (GF), 40% weight of the PEN component, were used to reinforce the blends to compensate for the loss of mechanical properties of PEN by incorporation of NBR. The results showed that the impact strength of the PEN/GF/NBR blend (PEN/NBR = 60/40) was increased up to 27.6J/m, nearly 5 times higher than that of the neat PEN. Meanwhile, the tensile strength and flexural strength were still maintained at as high as 66.1 MPa and 98.2 MPa, respectively. Dynamic vulcanization further improved the mechanical properties of the PEN/GF/NBR blends, which provided routes to the design of new PEN/elastomer blends. Other properties of the PEN/GF/NBR blends were also investigated in terms of morphology of fractured surface, dynamic mechanical behavior, thermal stability and crystallization, by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), respectively.
