Design and development of bio-carbon reinforced hetero structured biophenolics polybenzoxazine-epoxy hybrid composites for high performance applications

LM25/A356 Aluminium Silicon alloy is characterized by high mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, machinabilty and excellent castability. Its prominent usage is found in high performance applications like in the automotive piston, cylinder blocks and heads, valve lifters, alloy wheels, brake pads and also in turbine blades. The prospects in applications of A356 are improved by heat treatment processes. Moreover the production of A356 Aluminium alloy composites renders provision for effectively tailoring the mechanical properties of the material by reinforcing the particulates of different ceramic materials at varying propositions. Although there are wide ranges of ceramic materials that could be potentially reinforced into A356 aluminium alloys, this paper exclusively reviews on SiC particulate reinforced A356 alloy composites and also its hybrid composites fabricated by strir casting method. This paper brings out the researches performed with A356/SiC composites under various experiment conditions to make this aluminium alloy available for other wide applications.

Due to fierce market competition, how to improve product quality and reduce development cost determines the core competitiveness of enterprises. However, design iteration generally causes increases of product cost and delays of development time as well, so how to identify and model couplings among tasks in product design and development has become an important issue for enterprises to settle. In this paper, the shortcomings existing in WTM model are discussed and tearing approach as well as inner iteration method is used to complement the classic WTM model. In addition, the ABC algorithm is also introduced to find out the optimal decoupling schemes. In this paper, firstly, tearing approach and inner iteration method are analyzed for solving coupled sets. Secondly, a hybrid iteration model combining these two technologies is set up. Thirdly, a high-performance swarm intelligence algorithm, artificial bee colony, is adopted to realize problem-solving. Finally, an engineering design of a chemical processing system is given in order to verify its reasonability and effectiveness.

Hybrid Fibers

The investigation and design of new polymeric materials with an astonishing combination of properties are nowadays of great importance to facilitate the manufacturing process of high-quality products intended to be utilized in different applications and technical fields. For this intent, novel high-performance blend composites composed of the cyanate ester/benzoxazine resin blend reinforced by different proportions of silane-surface modified Kevlar and glass fibers were successfully fabricated by a compression molding technique and characterized by different experimental tests. The mechanical test results revealed that the bending and impact strength properties were considerably improved when increasing the amount of the hybrid fibers. The studied materials also presented excellent thermal stabilities as compared to the unfilled blend’s properties. With respect to the properties of the reinforcing systems, these improvements seen in either the mechanical or thermal properties could be due to the good dispersion as well as excellent adhesion of the reinforcing fibers inside the resin matrix, which were further evidenced by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy results. Consequently, the improved mechanical and thermal properties promote the use of the fabricated hybrid composites in domestic and industrial applications requiring functional materials with advanced properties for aerospace and military applications.
