Dynamic Mechanical Behavior

The present article adequately supports a twofold objective. On one hand, the study of the dynamic mechanical behavior of polypropylene/polyamide-6 blends modified by a novel compatibilizer was the objective. This was previously obtained by chemical modification of an atactic polypropylene polymerization waste. On the other hand, the accurate predictions of these properties in the experimental space scanned was the objective. As a novelty, this compatibilizer contains grafts rather than just maleated ones. Therefore, it consists precisely of an atactic polymer containing succinic anhydride (SA) bridges and both backbone and terminal grafted succinyl-fluorescein groups (SFSA) attached to the atactic backbone (aPP-SFSA). Therefore, it contains 6.2% of total grafting (2.5% as SA and 3.7% as SF), which is equivalent to 6.2 × 10−4 g·mol−1. This interfacial agent was uniquely designed and obtained by the authors themselves. Essentially, this article focuses on how the beneficial effect of both PA6 and aPP-SFSA varies the elastic (E’) and the viscous (E’’) behavior of the iPP/aPP-SFSA/PA6 blend at the iPP glass transition. Thus, we accurately measured the Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) parameters (E’, E’’) at this specific point considering it represents an extremely unfavorable scenario for the interfacial modifier due to mobility restrictions. Hence, this evidences the real interfacial modifications caused by aPP-SFSA to the iPP/PA6 system. Even more, and since each of the necessary components in the blend typically interacts with one another, we employed a Box–Wilson experimental design by its marked resemblance to the “agent-based models”. In this manner, we obtained complex algorithms accurately forecasting the dynamic mechanical behavior of the blends for all the composition range of the iPP/aPP-SFSA/PA6 system at the glass transition of iPP.

A feasibility study was conducted to determine the use of polyphthalamide/glass-fiber and polyphthalamide/glass-fiber/polytetrafluoroethylene-based composites as substitutes for aluminum and steel, respectively, in the production of motorcycle oil pump parts (housing, shaft/inner gerotor and outer gerotor). New and used (80,000 km) oil pumps were subjected to performance tests, whose results indicated that the pressure and temperature of the used pump reached a maximum of 1.8 bar and 93℃, respectively. Thermogravimetric analysis indicated that the materials are stable at the maximum operating temperature, which is 20℃ lower than the minimum glass transition temperature obtained by dynamic mechanical analysis for both materials at the analyzed frequencies (defined after calculations based on rotations in neutral, medium and high gear). The pressure value was multiplied by a safety factor of at least 1.6 (i.e., 3 bar), which was used as input for a finite element analysis of the parts, as well as the elasticity modulus at glass transition temperatures obtained by dynamic mechanical analysis. The finite element analysis indicated that the von Mises stresses to which the composite parts were subjected are 7 to 50 times lower than those the materials can withstand. The results suggest that it is feasible to manufacture motorcycle oil pump parts with these composites.

Comprehensive experimental results of dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) of polymer reinforced textile composites are presented in the current investigation. Plain and 2x2 twill woven multilayer fabrics of monolithic kevlar and hybrid carbon-kevlar (C-K) are reinforced into the thermoset polymer matrix. Kevlar/epoxy and C-K/epoxy composite laminates are fabricated using an in-house facility of the vacuum-assisted resin infusion process. Variation of the visco-elastic behaviour (storage modulus, damping factor and glass transition temperature, Tg) along with time, temperature and frequency is studied for the composites. Dynamic mechanical analysis is performed under temperature sweep with frequency ranging from 1-50 Hz. Results depict the effect of inter yarn hybridisation of carbon with kevlar yarns on the storage modulus, damping performance, and creep behaviour of dry textile composites. Temperature swept dynamic characterisation is also performed to evaluate the degradation and damping performance of the composite laminates soaked in the deionised water at glass transition temperature Tg, ½ Tg, and ¾ Tg. The morphological study has been performed post the dynamic mechanical analysis using field emission scanning electron microscope.
