Carbon fabric-reinforced thermoplastic (CFRP) composites, fortified with carbon fiber prepreg and epoxy base materials, have been mainly used for body parts for weight lightening, advanced high strength, and impact absorption In the current automotive industry However, as recycling of the composite material is required, attempts have been made to manufacture body parts using a thermoplastic polymeric material as a base substance. In order to produce various types of body parts by impregnating a liquid thermoplastic material into carbon fabric preform in methods of manufacturing a carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite material (CFRTP), it is important to understand the effect of the impregnation process parameters (time, temperature, pressing force) on the mechanical properties of the composite material. Therefore, in this study, the influence of impregnation process parameters on the mechanical properties of CFRTP is proposed. In addition, this paper presents the problems and solutions when polymeric materials are impregnated in carbon fabric.

This study focuses on the effect of impregnation process on the main mechanical properties in the production of veneer composite plank. The results showed that:①Under the normal pressure and temperature the drug absorption of impregnated veneer shall extend the volume with the growth in impregnation time, but growing faster early, the later change slowly. In the impregnation process under pressure, its absorption rate and speed are greatly increased. ②The Modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of elasticity (MOE) of veneer composite plank are gradually increased with the drug absorption increased, but after reached a certain peak value they gradually decrease, and the variation of MOE is smaller than MOR.

Bionanocomposites based on Polylactide (PLA) and Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) blends were successfully obtained through a combined extrusion and impregnation process using supercritical CO2 (scCO2). Graphene oxide (GO) and cinnamaldehyde (Ci) were incorporated into the blends as nano-reinforcement and an active compound, respectively, separately, and simultaneously. From the results, cinnamaldehyde quantification values varied between 5.7% and 6.1% (w/w). When GO and Ci were incorporated, elongation percentage increased up to 16%, and, therefore, the mechanical properties were improved, with respect to neat PLA. The results indicated that the Ci diffusion through the blends and bionanocomposites was influenced by the nano-reinforcing incorporation. The disintegration capacity of the developed materials decreased with the incorporation of GO and PHB, up to 14 and 23 days of testing, respectively, without compromising the biodegradability characteristics of the final material.

CdS-silica xerogel composites were prepared from tetramethoxysilane, acidic water, and formamide mixtures homogenized by high power ultrasounds. Different concentrations of Cd(NO3)2 were added. CdS semiconductor nanoparticles were precipitated by H2S gas diffusion through the sonogel porous structure. Composite mechanical properties were enhanced by an impregnation process by the gel soaking in the same sol as-prepared. Textural parameters evolution is compared to the salt content in order to find the best performance to CdS nanocrystal growth. The impregnation process allows a better composite protection.

In this study, the dimensional stability and mechanical properties of plywood made from untreated and plasma-pretreated beech veneers were compared. The wood veneers used (native and thermally modified) were impregnated with melamine resin in a simple dipping process prior to plywood production. The duration of the impregnation process was adjusted to give the same melamine resin loading for the different veneer types, with the plasma-pretreated veneers requiring only a fraction of the impregnation time compared with non-plasma-pretreated veneers. With comparable melamine loading, testing of the mechanical properties of the plywood for the different specimen collectives showed significant differences in some cases with respect to compressive strength, bending strength and tensile strength (with the associated moduli of elasticity). For example, it was shown that plywood made from plasma-pretreated native beech veneers shows an increase in bending strength of about 8%, and from plasma-pretreated and thermally modified beech veneers, there is an increase of about 10% compared to the reference.

Biolaminates of Ixtle and Henequen natural fibers reinforced bio-based epoxy resin were prepared using Vacuum Assisted Resin Infusion process. ZnO nanoparticles were added to the bio-based epoxy resin at 1, 2 and 3 wt. % content before impregnation process. The viscoelastic and mechanical properties, as well as the fracture behavior, were evaluated and related to the nature of the fibers and filler content. The viscoelastic results indicated the ZnO particles are effective fillers just at low concentrations, and induce different reinforcement mechanisms attributed to the interaction between the nature of fibers and nanoparticles. The mechanical properties of the Ixtle biolaminates decreased at higher filler concentrations, while Henequen biolaminates showed better mechanical properties just above the 2 wt. % of ZnO. The fracture behavior in mode I registered moderate changes in toughness, related to the ZnO fraction, which promoted different behaviors on the interlaminar adherence of the layers. The results point to the need to continue evaluating the potential application of these green composites for their use in construction and automotive industries.

Nanocomposites based on Poly ((hydroxy ether) of bisphenol A) (Phenoxy) filled with multiwalled carbon nanotubes has been prepared by extrusion. Rheological behaviour and thermal degradation of these nanocomposites have been studied by melt flow index and thermogravimetric analysis. The results show that the addition of carbon nanotubes up to 2wt% increases the viscosity but does not modify significantly the spinnability of the compounds. Moreover, incorporation of these nanofillers allows an improvement of the thermal decomposition. In a second step, these nanocomposites have been processed by melt spinning to produce multifilament yarn. Transmission electron microscopy observations have been done to study carbon nanotubes dispersion and orientation. Nanocomposite morphology correlated with electrical measurements reveal an electrical percolation around 1.5 wt.% without decreasing significantly mechanical properties.

Thyme oil, which is an anti-fungicide, was used to increase the physical and mechanical properties of wood as well as improve its strength, especially in outdoor conditions. For this purpose, Stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) wood samples classified according to the annual number of rings were exposed to either the impregnation process or the combined process, which was comprised of impregnation followed by heat treatment. As a result of the study, it was determined that the wood had different physical and mechanical properties based upon the number of annual rings. In addition, it was specified that the thyme oil used in the impregnation process improved the physical properties of the wood and also reduced the water absorption during the combined process. As a general conclusion, the impregnation process and the combined process increased the mechanical properties of the wood in parallel with an increase in the number of annual rings. The process of impregnation of wood materials with thyme oil is promising due to its anti-fungal and antibacterial properties, its ability to be used in small amounts in on-site impregnation, and it being an environmentally friendly product for the wood protection industry.

The mechanical properties of three titanium alloys (Ti-7Mo-3Al, Ti-7Mo- 3Cu and Ti-7Mo-3Ta) were evaluated as function of: 1) Solutionizing in the beta field and aging, 2) Thermal Mechanical Processing in the beta field and aging, 3) Solutionizing in the alpha + beta field and aging. The samples were isothermally aged in the temperature range 300° to 700*C for 4 to 24 hours, followed by a water quench. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray method were used to identify the phase formed. All three alloys solutionized at 1050°C (beta field) transformed to martensitic alpha (alpha prime) upon being water quenched. Despite this heavily strained alpha prime, which is characterized by microtwins the tensile strength of the as-quenched alloys is relatively low and the elongation is as high as 30%.
