Properties of methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride‐cured epoxy resin modified with MITU

Methylimidazole‐terminated chain‐extended urea (MITU) containing polypropylene oxide spacer was synthesized and employed to modify epoxies composed of a diglycidyl ether of bisphenol‐A (E‐51) and methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride (MTHPA). The curing behavior, viscoelastic property, impact response, and fracture surface morphology of the curing systems were systematically investigated. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) analysis reveals that the curing reactivity of the epoxy system is greatly enhanced with the addition of MITU. From the dynamic mechanical analysis, besides the low‐temperature β relaxation, shoulder at higher temperature side appears for the MITU‐modified systems. Meanwhile, the addition of MITU leads to the increase of loss factor (tan δ) over the temperature range of 0–75°C. Impact tests show that the modifier can be effective in toughening the epoxy resin at relatively low loading, and the scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the fracture surface for the modified systems display signs of ductility.

Study on the toughening mechanism of PP/EVA dynamically crosslinked blend

The toughening mechanism of polypropylene (PP)/ethylene-co-vinyl acetate (EVA) dynamically crosslinked blend was investigated. The results indicated that dynamical crosslinking technology not only improved the interfacial adhesion between PP and EVA, but also increased the mechanical properties of PP/EVA blend. The quantitative and qualitative analysis of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs demonstrated that dynamical crosslinking technology could refine EVA particles in PP/EVA blend and promote the size distribution of EVA particles. The critical matrix ligament thickness of dynamically crosslinked and uncrosslinked blend was about 0.55 μm and 0.6 μm, respectively, indicating that the brittle-ductile transition occurred. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) results illustrated that the tan δ peak of PP component in the dynamically crosslinked blend moved toward lower temperature compared with that of pure PP and the PP component in uncrosslinked blend; and the tan δ value of the dynamically crosslinked blend was higher than that of the uncrosslinked blend, which interpreted the toughening mechanism of dynamical crosslinking technology from the dynamic mechanical property of the blend.     

Fracture Micromechanisms of Polypropylene/Polycarbonate/Poly(styrene-b-(ethylene-co-butylene)-b-styrene) (PP/ PC/SEBS) Ternary Blends: The Effects of SEBS Content

Ternary blends of polypropylene/polycarbonate/poly(styrene-b-(ethylene-co-butylene)-b-styrene) (PP/PC/SEBS) with varying SEBS contents were produced via melt blending in a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. The phase morphology of the resulting ternary blends and its relationship with bending and impact behaviors were studied. Transmission optical microscopy (TOM) of the crack tip damage zone and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of impact fractured surfaces were performed to characterize the fracture mechanism. With increasing SEBS content in the PP/PC/SEBS ternary blends, the number of PC/SEBS core-shell particles increased and the size of the core-shell particles enlarged. It was shown that with an SEBS content of 5%, the crack initiation resistance decreased and then was almost unchanged with further increase of SEBS content, while resistance to crack growth increased continuously with increasing of SEBS content. Preliminary analysis of the micromechanical deformation suggested that the high impact toughness observed for samples containing 20 and 30 wt% of SEBS could be attributed to cavitation of the rubbery shell and, consequently, shear yielding of the matrix. This plastic deformation absorbed a tremendous amount of energy. Due to low interfacial adhesion between PC particles and PP matrix in samples containing 5 and 10 wt% of SEBS, debonding occurred too early, so the occurrence of matrix shear yielding was delayed and resulted in premature interfacial failure and, hence, rapid crack propagation.     

纳米孪晶界对可动位错演化特性与金属Al强化机理探究

位错是金属塑性变形普遍形式,对其可动位错演化特性与规律探寻并充分利用,将在金属强韧化提升中有着潜在基础前瞻性研究价值.本文基于分子动力学法对金属Al塑性变形的可动位错迁演特性展开研究,洞悉纳米压痕诱导的可动位错与孪晶界面间作用规律,揭示出金属强化微观机制,并分析单层孪晶界高度与多层孪晶界层间距对可动位错迁演、位错密度、硬度、黏着效应的影响.研究发现:高速变形下的金属非晶产生和密排六方结构的出现会协同主导Al基塑性变形,而孪晶界会阻碍可动位错滑移、诱导可动位错缠绕及交滑移产生,在金属承载提升中扮演了位错墙和诱导位错胞形成的微观作用.通过在孪晶界形成钉扎位错和限制位错迁移,在受限域形成高密度局域可动位错,显著强化了金属硬度和韧性,降低了卸载时黏附于探针表面的原子数.结果表明:Al基受载会诱导上表面局部非接触区原子失配斑出现;单层孪晶界高度离基底上表面距离减小时,位错缠绕和交滑移作用越明显,抗黏着效应也随之下降;载荷持续增加会诱驱孪晶界成为位错萌生处与发射源,并伴随塑性环的繁衍增殖.     

NUMERICAL STUDY ON PROPERTIES OF WEAK INTERLAYER OF LAMINATED COMPOSITE

<正>With assumption of material inhomogeneity on meso level,a three-point bending beam model has been adopted to simulate crack propagation in two dimensional laminated composite and to verify the toughening mechanism of energy dissipation and crack deflection along the weak interlayer.Moreover,the effect of strength,elastic modulus and thickness of the weak interlayer on both strength and toughness of the laminated composite have also been investigated in this paper.     

Fatigue crack propagation and related failure in modified,andhydride-cured epoxy resins

The fatigue crack propagation (FCP) of neat and modified, anhydridecured epoxy resin (EP) was studied in tensile-tensile mode at ambient temperature. As modifiers, liquid carboxyl-terminated acrylonitrile-butadiene (CTBN) and silicon rubber (SI) dispersions were used. The latter modifier in a defined particle size distribution was produced by a special latex technology, whereas the former developed in situ in the EP by phase separation during curing. The dispersion-type morphologies of the EPs were characterized by using polished sections and viewing them in a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The resulting frequency distribution curves were compared with those analyzed from fatigue fracture surfaces. Probable failure mechanisms were also studied by SEM-fractography.Both modifiers improved the resistance to FCP by shifting the curves to higher stress intensity factor ranges (K) in relation to the reference curve determined for the neat EP-matrix. The failure mechanisms, summarized also schematically, differed basically for the various modifiers. According to this, rubber-induced cavitation and shear yielding of the matrix seemed to be dominant for CTBN, which did not affect the principal crack plane. In contrast to this, crack bifurcation, branching and, hence, a forced deviation in the fatigue crack path induced by debonded SI-particles in the EP-matrix were concluded for the SI modifier. The common use of both modifiers yielded a positive synergistic effect due to the superposition of the above failure mechanisms.Dedicated to the 60th birthday of Prof. H. H. Kausch     

BRITTLE-DUCTILE TRANSITION OF POLYMERS AND ITS PERCOLATION MODEL

The brittle-ductile transition (BDT) of particlc toughened polymers was extensively studied in terms ofmorphology, strain rate, and temperature. The calculation results showed that both the critical interparticle distance (ID_c) andthe brittle-ductile transition temperature (T_(BD)) of polymers were a function of strain rate. The ID_c reduced nonlinearly withincreasing strain rate, whereas T_(BD) increased considerably with increasing strain rate. The effects of temperature andplasticizer concentration on BDT were discussed using a percolation model. The results were in agreement with theexperiments.
