This study focus on the preparation of kenaf fibre reinforced unsaturated polyester composite through the compressing molding technique. The composite characterizations in flexural and morphological properties. Flexural test revealed that the incorporation of multiple layers of kenaf mat into unsaturated polymer composite (UPE) resulted in the increase of flexural strength. Nevertheless, the UPE alone still showed superior flexural strength since the presence of natural filler/fibre in polymer tends to reduce strength properties. The results proved that the UPE revealed the formation of microcracks. Thus, it has been noticed that the fiber fracture, fiber debondings and holes are some of the defects, which are observed due to the application of the load on the specimen.

This study investigated the effect of pressurized temperature on the thermal, mechanical, and morphological properties of nanocomposites made from recycled polyethylene with the weight ratio of 50%. Nanosilica was applied at 3 levels (0, 4, 8 %) and wood flour had a weight ratio of 50%. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) went through multiple procedures. It was found that by increasing the nanosilica content, the tensile and flexural strength properties, the residual ash content, and the thermal stability increased along with a reduction in the tensile and flexural modulus and impact resistance. As the temperature increased, the tensile and flexural strength and modulus and the impact resistance decreased. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images revealed that samples with 8% nanosilica showed different polymerization than the wood flour particles.

Laminated composites based on polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and polyimide (PI) matrices were fabricated by hot compression. Reinforcing materials (unidirectional carbon-fiber (CF) tapes or carbon fabric) and their layout patterns were varied. Stress–strain diagrams after three-point flexural tests were analyzed, and both lateral faces of the fractured specimens and fractured surfaces (obtained by optical and scanning electron microscopy, respectively) were studied. It was shown that the laminated composites possessed the maximum mechanical properties (flexural elastic modulus and strength) in the case of the unidirectional CF (0°/0°) layout. These composites were also not subjected to catastrophic failure during the tests. The PEEK-based composites showed twice the flexural strength of the PI-based ones (0.4 and 0.2 GPa, respectively), while the flexural modulus was four times higher (60 and 15 GPa, correspondently). The reason was associated with different melt flowability of the used polymer matrices and varied inter- (intra)layer adhesion levels. The effect of adhesion was additionally studied by computer simulation using a developed two-dimensional FE-model. It considered initial defects between the binder and CF, as well as subsequent delamination and failure under loads. Based on the developed FE-model, the influence of defects and delamination on the strength properties of the composites was shown at different stress states, and the corresponding quantitative estimates were reported. Moreover, another model was developed to determine the three-point flexural properties of the composites reinforced with CF and carbon fabric, taking into account different fiber layouts. It was shown within this model framework that the flexural strength of the studied composites could be increased by an order of magnitude by enhancing the adhesion level (considered through the contact area between CF and the binder).

Curing Method

In this study, the effect of curing conditions on the mechanical properties of slurry infiltrated fiber reinforced concrete (SIFCON) was investigated. For this purpose, SIFCON samples containing 4% and 8% steel fiber with two different aspect ratios were produced. The samples were subjected to three different curing types, namely standard, dry and accelerated curing methods. Ultrasonic wave velocity, flexural strength, fracture toughness, compressive strength, impact resistance and capillary water absorption tests were performed on the samples. The highest flexural strength was found to be achieved in the samples with an aspect ratio of 55 and a content of 8% steel fiber. The most suitable curing method was determined as the standard curing method and the best flexural strength was achieved at the rate of 8%. According to the test results, the best strength properties were achieved in the samples exposed to the standard curing method. In addition, the samples exposed to the accelerated curing method showed satisfactory values. The accelerated curing method can be used as an alternative in SIFCON production especially in applications requiring mass production.

Fiber reinforced self-consolidating concrete (FRSCC) has a tremendous potential to be used in construction industry as it combines the advantagees of both self-consolidating concrete (SCC) and fiber reinforced concrete (FRC). 18 concrete mixtures were developed by incorporating differenct volumes (0 to 0.3) of polyvinyl alchohol (PVA) and metallic fibers. Fresh, rheological, mechanical and durability (in terms of chloride penetration resistance) properties of all FRSCC mixtures were evaluated. The influences of fiber types/size/ dosages and fiber combination (used in hybrid mixes) on fresh (slump flow, L-box passing ability, V-funnel flow time and segregation index), rheological (plastic viscosity and yield stress) and hardened (fracture energy and compressive/flexural/splitting tensile strength) properties were critically analyzed to examine the relationships among various properties as well as to suggest suitable FRSCC mixtures. The fibers (especially metallic ones) wre more effective in increasing the fracture energy of FRSCC than compressive/splitting tensile/flexural strength. A fracture energy gain of about 730% was observed (which is substantial) compared to 10% of compressive strength, 39% of splitting tensil strength and 124% of flexural strength. The improved strength and fracture energy of FRSCC mixtures can significantly reduce the amount of tensile reinforcement and subsantially increase the energy absorbing capacity of concrete structures.

The Analysis of the Influence of the Polystyrene Patterns Shaping Parameters on the Resistance Properties This work presents the technology of making foam plastics patterns used in casting as well as the final shaping stand. The analysis of the sintering process was carried out aiming at determining the influence of the pressure and the time of sintering on the flexural strength properties. The analysis of the research results confirmed that when the sintering pressure grows to the value of Pa =1,7 bar the flexural strength also increases, when the pressure value is higher than that, the degradation of the material takes place and the strength properties decrease.

Abstract Aim The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of three commercially available light emitting diode (LED) light curing units (LCU) (Elipar FreeLight - 3M ESPE; UltraLume LED2 - Ultradent; and Single V - BioArt) for polymerizing Z250-A3 composite (3M ESPE) using Knoop hardness, polymerization depth, and flexural strength properties. Methods and Materials The XL 2500 (3M ESPE) LCU, which is a conventional halogen unit, was used as a control. In all cases the curing time was 20 seconds. Hardness was determined 24 hours after composite cure for 10 samples of 8 mm diameter and 2 mm height for each LCU tested. Samples were stored dry in a lightproof container prior to testing. The depth of cure of the composite was measured immediately after composite polymerization for each LCU using three samples 4 mm in diameter and 6 mm in height. Flexural strength was determined for five samples 24 hours after immersion in distilled water at 37°C. Each sample measured 25 mm in length, 2 mm in width, and 2 mm in height for each LCU tested. Conclusion The results were treated statistically for comparison of the LCUs. In all cases the results obtained by LED LCUs were not different or were higher than a conventional halogen LCU. Clinical Significance Second generation LED LCUs were as effective as/or more effective than a halogen LCU for polymerization of the used composite. The present study shows second generation LEDs have the potential to replace halogen LCUs. Citation Campregher UB, Samuel SMW, Fortes CBB, Medina ADC, Collares FMC, Ogliari FA.

Uptake Studies

This research studied the physicomechanical as well as morphological properties of alkali treated (NaOH and KMnO4) and untreated banana bark fiber (BBF) reinforced polypropylene composites. A detailed structural and morphological characterization was performed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and mechanical properties testing (tensile strength, flexural strength, and microhardness). Chemical treatments improved the hydrophobic property of the fiber and it is found to be better for KMnO4treatment. Composites with 0, 5, 10, and 15 wt.% loadings were then compared for water uptake studies and revealed that KMnO4treated fiber composites absorb less water compared to others. KMnO4treatment with 15% fiber loading improved the tensile strength, flexural strength, and microhardness of the composites compared to raw and NaOH treated fiber loadings. TGA analysis also shows onset temperature at 400~500°C that is associated with the decomposition of the banana fibers constituents including lignin, cellulose, and hemicelluloses which suggests better thermomechanical stability. All of the values suggest that 15% KMnO4treated banana bark fiber (BBF)/PP composites were found to be better than those of the raw and NaOH treated ones.
