This study presents the mechanical and thermal properties of environment-friendly composites made from recycled newspaper fibers reinforced recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (rPET) resin with the addition of styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene grafted maleic anhydride (SEBS-g-MA) as compatibilizer. The effect of SEBS-g-MA addition (i.e., 10 phr) by using a twin-screw extruder to the rPET resin, followed by different fiber content (5, 10 and 15 wt.%) on the tensile, flexural and impact properties of the composites were determined. Stiffness of composites increased significantly compared to those of rPET/SEBS-g-MA blend. Fiber addition resulted in moderate increases in both tensile and flexural strength of the composites. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) photomicrographs of the impact fracture surfaces demonstrate good adhesion at 5 and 10 % fiber content. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed that the presence of newspaper fibers enhanced the nonisothermal crystallization kinetics and crystallinity. Thermal stability of the composites was improved as indicated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).  相似文献

Although thermally conductive composites that can efficiently dissipate the heat generated from electronic devices are in high demand, most neat polymers used as matrix materials are problematic because they have poor thermal conductivities. The low thermal conductivity of polymeric materials is caused by structural defects; therefore, it can be improved by increasing the orientational regularity of the polymer chains. Here, main-chain liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) were designed and synthesized to investigate the effects of liquid crystallinity-induced structural regularity on the thermal conductivity of the polymers. In addition, an in-situ polymerization method was devised for commercial applicability, and the thermal conductivity of the obtained polymer was compared to that of a conventionally polymerized polymer having the same structure. The designed polymers exhibited thermotropic liquid crystalline characteristics, and the polymer with longer spacers between the rigid segments showed relatively higher thermal conductivity exceeding 0.5 W·m-1· K-1 after sample preparation by injection molding. In addition, X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the differences in the thermal conductivity, depending on the molding temperature during specimen preparation, were caused by variations in chain orientation within the same polymer. Based on the obtained results, it was concluded that LCPs are strong candidate matrix materials for thermally conductive composites; the suggested in-situ polymerization method could be applied practically to the polymerization of polyester-type LCPs.  相似文献

Unsaturated polyester (UP) resin has been blended with phenolic resin (PF) resole type at various ratios to obtain a homogeneous blend with improved flame resistance compared to its parent polymers. The polymer blend was reinforced with 20 wt% kenaf using hand lay out technique. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was used to characterize changes in the chemical structure of the synthesized composites. The thermal properties of the composites were investigated using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The thermal stability of UP/PF kenaf composites co-varies with the PF content, as shown by the degradation temperature at 50 % weight loss. The char yield of the composites increases linearly with PF content as shown by the TGA results. The flammability properties of the composites were determined using the limiting oxygen index (LOI) and UL-94 fire tests. The LOI increased with the PF content while the composites exhibit improved flame retardancy as demonstrated by UL-94 test. The mechanical and morphological properties of the composites were determined by tensile test and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The tensile strength and the Young’s modulus of the blend/composites slightly decreased with increasing PF content albeit higher than PF/kenaf fiber composites.  相似文献

In this article, we demonstrated the preparation of carbon-fiber-reinforced composites using a polyamide 6 (PA6)/thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) blend, in which the addition of TPU resulted in superior mechanical performances and increased thermal stability. According to various characterization techniques, these results are attributed to an enhanced adhesion and a homogeneous dispersion of long-carbon-fibers (LCFs) with TPU sizing in blended polymer matrix. Above all, dynamic-mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) measurements clearly show that the dynamic storage modulus (E') of the blend composites is increased by threefold with temperature ranges below and above the glass transition temperature. The presence of LCFs in TPU systems induces effective fiber orientation, exhibiting simultaneous improvements in the tensile strength, flexural strength, and thermal stability.  相似文献

To study the effects of short carbon fiber (SCF) on the properties of the polyolefin elastomers (POEs), we prepared the poly(ethylene-co-1-hexene) (PEH)/SCF composites at different percentages of SCF. We also prepared polyethylene (PE)/SCF composites to compare with PEH/SCF composites. PEH was synthesized by the copolymerization of ethylene and 1-hexene using metallocene catalyst/cocatalyst system. Optimum stirring speed, Al/Zr feeding molar ratio, polymerization time, and polymerization temperature were 700 rpm, 600, 30 min, and 60 °C, respectively. We investigated the morphology of the composites using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and found that the wettability of SCF in PEH/SCF composites was fairly better than that of SCF in PE/SCF composites. It was observed from mechanical tests that the ultimate tensile strength and tensile modulus of PEH/SCF composites were remarkably enhanced as the SCF content increased, whereas those of PE/SCF composites were a little increased. PEH/SCF composites exhibited lower crystallinity than PE/SCF ones. Thermal stability of the composites was enhanced by the addition of SCF.  相似文献

In this study, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were confined or localized in an immiscible blend of poly(ethylene terephthalate)/polyamide 6 (PET/PA6). A co-rotating twin-screw extruder and melt-compounding were used to prepare nanocomposites of PET/PA6 (60/40, w/w) and MWCNTs with various MWCNT contents in the range 0.001–2 phr. The raw, unfunctionalized MWCNTs were used as fillers. A remarkable change in the morphology of the blend happened on the basis of the amount of MWCNTs added to the blend: the PET phase converted into the PA6 phase at a certain MWCNT content. Although the PA6 phase was formed as a domain phase in the PET matrix in blends containing less than 0.01 phr of MWCNTs, the PET phase suddenly became discontinuous because of phase conversion in the PA6 matrix in blends containing 0.01 and 0.05 phr of MWCNTs. In the blends containing more than 0.1 phr of MWCNTs, the initial morphology was recovered, that is, the PET phase became the matrix phase again. Moreover, in the recovered state, the of the PA6 domain was much larger in the blends containing more than 0.1 phr of MWCNTs than it was in the composites that did not contain any MWCNTs and in those that contained 0.001 phr of MWCNTs. The MWCNTs, on the other hand, selectively located at the interface of the PET and PA6 phases. The rheological, electrical, and crystallization behaviors of the blends were also investigated to study the effects of the concentration of MWCNTs on the structure of the prepared composites.  相似文献

High thermal conductive polymer composites have recently attracted much attention, along with the quick development to the electronic devices toward higher speed. The addition of high thermal conductive fillers is an efficient method to solve this problem. Here, we introduced superfullerene (SF), a novel zero-dimensional carbon-based filler, and incorporated into PVDF by a solution method. The effects of SF filler on the thermal conductivity of PVDF composites were systematically investigated. It was found that PVDF composites exhibited an improvement in thermal conductivity at a low SF loading. PVDF composites with only 5 wt% SF filler present the thermal conductivity value of 0.365 Wm-1K-1, which is as much as 121 % enhancement in comparison with that of neat PVDF. In view of the excellent thermal transport performance, the composites may enable some applications in thermal management in the future.  相似文献

Composites were prepared with 13, 23 30 and 40 % fiber and evaluated the mechanical performance in tensile, flexural and impact. The mechanical properties of these composites were also evaluated function of time at 110 °C thermal exposure. Caroa fibers were characterized by techniques such as thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that the best mechanical properties were achieved for composites containing 23 to 30 % fiber. The incorporation of 23 % fiber caroa increased both the modulus of elasticity in the tensile test as the flexural strength and impact, the composite with 30 % fiber caroa showed higher tensile strength. The results show that the tensile and flexural strength of the composite decreased with time of thermal exposure. The thermal aging at 110 °C caused a decrease in tensile properties of the composites.  相似文献

This article describes the effect of compatibilising agent on natural rubber (NR)/chitosan (CS) blends. Maleic anhydride (MA) was used as the compatibiliser. The mechanical properties such as tensile strength, elongation at break, and modulus at various elongations of compatibilised NR/CS blends were studied by universal testing machine and the surface hardness was studied by Shore A Durometer. The interaction between the two components was analyzed by calculating the fraction of bound rubber in the blend from the relative weight loss data in benzene as the solvent. The incorporation of MA into NR/CS blends improved tensile strength up to 15 % of chitosan in the blend and above which it decreased. The elongations at break of the MA treated blends decreased and a drastic enhancement of surface hardness was observed by the addition of MA in the blend. The interfacial reactivity (adhesion) of NR/CS blends was studied as a function of the incorporation of compatibiliser by the estimation of relative weight loss. The data revealed an increase in the interfacial adhesion between NR and CS, resulting in an improvement of the gel fraction (%) in the blend. The effect of thermal ageing on the mechanical properties of the compatibilised blends was also studied. The morphology of the compatibilised blends was studied by scanning electron microscopy and it shows a continuous morphology.  相似文献

Poly(L-lactide) (PLLA)/poly(D-lactide) (PDLA)/poly(ethylene octene) grafted with glycidyl methacrylate (GPOE) were prepared by simple melt blending method at PDLA loadings from 1 to 5 wt%. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) demonstrated the formation of the stereocomplex in the blends. The addition of PDLA led to the increase of nucleation density from polarized microscope (POM) observations. Rheological measurements indicated that the blends exhibited a rheological fluid-solid transition and an enhanced elastic behavior in that ternary system as the PDLA loadings reached up to 5 wt%. By adding 1-2 wt% PDLA, the ternary system has better tensile and impact properties. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) results showed that SC crystal formation and its effect on the enhancement of thermal stability at higher temperature. It is interesting that the enzymatic degradation rates have been enhanced clearly in the PLLA/PDLA/GPOE blends than in the PLLA/GPOE blend, which may be of great use and significance for the wider practical application of PLLA/GPOE blends.  相似文献

Textile fibers were obtained from secondary polyethylene terephtalate (PET) and its mixtures with primary PET at initial orientation of 18000–33000 %, rate of additional orientation drawing 3.5–6.5 times and temperature of thermal fixation 363–413 K. The fibers’ tensile strength was found to decrease and elongation at break to increase with the decrease of their linear density under the conditions of fibers formation. For the fibers based on polymer mixtures, the presence of oxidized fragments in the secondary PET limited the compatibility of the two polymers which resulted in deteriorated tensile properties. The linear density (4–16 dtex), tensile strength (30–50 cN/tex) and elongation at break (20–60 %) of the PET fibers obtained were close to these for the industrially produced polymer fibers. The values of the average diameter of the fibers formed and oriented under laboratory conditions allows classifying them between the fine and the coarse textile fibers which makes them suitable for the textile industry.  相似文献

Polymeric composites based on cotton burr and cottonseed bull have been prepared by melt blending and extrusion. For poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE), addition of the fillers slightly changed the composite's thermal properties but significantly decreased the composite's mechanical properties. Heat treatment prior to extrusion resulted in composites with better tensile strength and Young's modulus. The use of maleic anhydride and peroxide only slightly improved the physical properties of the LDPE materials, but the effect was less clear for the PLA materials. The PLA-filler composites may be useful for lowering the cost of the materials in applications that can tolerate the decreased properties. In addition, the addition of fillers to LDPE might be beneficial in applications to improve stiffness or to improve biodegradability.  相似文献

Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) composites containing 1 %, 3 % and 5 % silica nanoparticles were prepared by melt compounding method. The characteristics of the nanocomposites were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), tensile strength test (TST), reflectance spectroscopy (RS), electromagnetic transition test (ETT) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). XRD method showed successful incorporation of silica into the polymer matrix. SEM and AFM results showed the presence of silica aggregates on the surface of PBT sheets. Thermal analysis results demonstrated some changes in crystallinity of PBT after addition of silica. The PBT/silica nanocomposites were found to have higher electromagnetic reflection compared with the pure PBT. Silica nanoparticle is thus suggested as a good candidate for electromagnetic shielding purposes.  相似文献

The surface topography, tensile properties, and thermal properties of ramie fibers were investigated as reinforcement for fully biodegradable and environmental-friendly ‘green’ composites. SEM micrographs of a longitudinal and cross-sectional view of a single ramie fiber showed a fibrillar structure and rough surface with irregular cross-section, which is considered to provide good interfacial adhesion with polymer resin in composites. An average tensile strength, Young’s modulus, and fracture strain of ramie fibers were measured to be 627 MPa, 31.8 GPa, and 2.7 %, respectively. The specific tensile properties of the ramie fiber calculated per unit density were found to be comparable to those of E-glass fibers. Ramie fibers exhibited good thermal stability after aging up to 160°C with no decrease in tensile strength or Young’s modulus. However, at temperatures higher than 160°C the tensile strength decreased significantly and its fracture behavior was also affected. The moisture content of the ramie fiber was 9.9%. These properties make ramie fibers suitable as reinforcement for ‘green’ composites. Also, the green composites can be fabricated at temperatures up to 160°C without reducing the fiber properties.  相似文献

Cellulose nanowhiskers were used to improve the performance of poly (lactic acid) (PLA). The nanocomposites mixed with three different molecular weight of poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) were characterized by mechanical testing, thermal gravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. The tensile test showed an increase in tensile strength and elongation at break with the addition of PEG to PLA/CNW nanocomposites, the thermal analysis results showed an increase of crystallization temperature (T c) and crystallization compatibility (larger crystallization and melting areas), which indicated that the cellulose nanowhiskers (CNW) and PEG or CNW alone should not be considered as nucleating agents for the PLA matrix; The CNW was homo-dispersed which contributed to decreasing mobility of polymer chain segments. The compatibility between hydrophobic PLA matrix and the hydrophilic CNW was improved by the addition of different molecular weight polymeric-PEG. The thermo gravimetric analysis indicated that the thermal stability of the different composites were reflected well in the region between 25 °C and 245 oC. The structure of the PLA/CNW/PEG composites was characterized by AFM, which showed that the CNW dispersed in the PLA matrix evenly.  相似文献

Composites based on pure Basalt and Basalt/Jute fabrics were fabricated. The mechanical properties of the composites such as flexural modulus, tensile modulus and impact strength were measured depending upon weave, fiber contents and resin. Dynamic mechanical analysis of all composites were done. From the results it is found that pure basalt fiber combination maintains higher values in all mechanical tests. Thermo-gravimetric (TG/DTG) composites showed that thermal degradation temperatures of composites shifted to higher temperature regions compared to pure jute fabrics. Addition of basalt fiber improved the thermal stability of the composite considerably. Scanning electron microscopic images of tensile fractured composite samples illustrated that better fiber-matrix interfacial interaction occurred in hybrid composites. The thermal conductivity of composites are also investigated and thermal model is used to check their correlation.  相似文献

A simple method to decorate carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with silver nanoparticles was developed to enhance the electrical conductivity of CNTs. The acid-treated CNTs were suspended in the silver acetate solution, ammonia solution was then added, and the CNTs decorated with silver nanoparticles (Ag@CNTs) were produced. The Ag@CNTs were dispersed in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to fabricate electrically conducting polymer composites. The electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of the composites were measured. The electrical conductivity of the composites containing 0.8 % (o.w.f.) Ag@CNTs was more than four orders of magnitude higher than those of pristine and functionalized CNTs respectively, which confirmed the effectiveness of the Ag@CNTs as conducting filler. However, the improved electrical conductivity led to somewhat decrease of mechanical properties of PVA/Ag@CNTs composites.  相似文献

Research and development of biodegradable bio-composite can replacement the synthetic polymer materials, which is used for automobile interior materials, finishing materials of air conditioner and refrigerator. To develop both components as biodegradable bio-composite, this research used natural polymer starch as matrix and kenaf fiber as a filler. Various plasticizer(polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, glycerol) were added and examined the mechanical properties of the kenaf/starch bio-composites according to these plasticizer. The kenaf bast which cultivated in Korea was retted with 2 % NaOH solution. The plasticizer weighting 10 % of that of matrix was added. kenaf/starch composites were molded with hot press for 30 minutes at 130 °C and 3,500 PSI molding condition. The mechanical properties such as tensile strength, elongation, and young modulus of the kenaf/starch composites were measured. Also, we measured the SEM cross-section images in order to investigate interfacial adhesion properties of fractured surfaces. The order of strength size of composites were G (12.42 MPa) > PVA (9.72 MPa) > PEG (4.73 MPa) samples respectively. The tensile strength of PEG sample is lower than the control sample (5.40 MPa).  相似文献

Optimized palm press fiber composites of poly(?-caprolactone)/poly(lactic acid) were produced and their mechanical and thermal properties were studied. The composites were melt blended using twin screw extruder and test specimens were produced by injection molding. The composites mechanical and thermal performances were tested using standard methods. The incorporation of dicumyl peroxide as compatibilizer significantly increased the tensile strength, flexural modulus and impact strength of the composites as compared to the uncompatibilized composites. Crystallization temperature of the composites initially increased after which it dropped as fiber load increased. The composites melting point and percentage crystallinity slightly decreased as fiber load increased.  相似文献

We prepared itaconic acid based dispersants (IBDs) by the copolymerization of itaconic acid with acrylic acid, acrylamide, or vinyl sulfonic acid, and compared the efficacy of the IBDs on carbon fiber (CF) dispersion in a water-based system, against that of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) which is widely used as a dispersing agent. The procedure to fabricate nonwoven CF (NCF)/PP composites using IBDs includes the following steps: the synthesis of IBDs, the dispersion of CFs in water by the IBDs, the formation of a NCF, and hot pressing of NCF with polypropylene (PP) layer. We determined the tensile, thermal properties, and the electrical conductivity of non-woven CF/PP composites. It was found that using IBDs as a CF dispersing agent led to the CF/PP composites having better tensile, thermal, and electrical properties, as compared to when SDS was used as a dispersing agent.  相似文献
