In this study, surface roughness and burr were investigated in drilling of pure and carbon black reinforced high-density polyethylene at three cutting speeds and feeds with three drill point angles. The measurement results of surface roughness of drilled holes were evaluated by Taguchi and analysis of variance statistical methods to specify the optimal drilling parameters and the effects of selected drilling parameters. According to the results, lower surface roughness and fewer burrs were obtained in drilling at high cutting speed and low feed with drill tools having small point angle and it was specified that the carbon black reinforcement reduced the surface roughness. Additionally, the optimal drilling parameters were determined as drill point angle of 80°, feed of 0.1 mm/rev and cutting speed of 120 m/min and the most effective parameter was found as drill point angle and the least effective parameter was found as feed.

Polymer composite materials can be produced by reinforcing carbon black, carbon fiber, graphite, graphene, metals and metal oxides, nanotubes, and so on. These types of composite materials can be employed in applications demanding electrical conductivity besides high specific strength and stiffness properties of polymer materials. In the literature, there is a lack of knowledge on the examination of drilling of particle-reinforced composite materials. In this study, drilling of pure polypropylene and carbon black–reinforced polypropylene composite material was investigated at different drill point angles, cutting speeds, and feeds. The cutting temperature of drill point and surface roughness of holes were examined. The experimental studies were designed by L27 full-factorial design, and analysis of variance statistical method was performed. According to the results, cutting temperature increased and surface roughness decreased with the increase in the cutting speed and feed and decrease in the drill point angle.

In this study, the alkali treatment of sawdust using different concentration of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is performed. The purpose of this treatment is to improve the filler-matrix compatibility, thus, enhance the properties of tested specimens under various strain rate condition. The outcome shows the alkali treated sawdust did improve its surface roughness through reduction of sawdust diameter. With this increasing of surface roughness, it will enhance the compatibility between sawdust filler and HDPE matrix. For comparison purpose, the treated and untreated sawdust filler were reinforce in High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) matrix and have been test under static and dynamic loading using Universal Testing Machine (UTM) and Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus. The results indicate that the stiffness and compression strength properties were improved on treated sawdust composites for both static and dynamic loading compare to untreated sawdust composites.

AbstractThis paper presents a statistical analysis of process parameters for surface roughness in drilling of Al/Al2O3p metal matrix composite. The experimental studies were conducted under varying spindle speed, feed rate, point angle of drill. The settings of drilling parameters were determined by using Taguchi experimental design method. The level of importance of the drilling parameters is determined by using analysis of variance. The optimum drilling parameter combination was obtained by using the analysis of signal-to-noise ratio. Through statistical analysis of response variables and signal-to-noise ratios, the determined significant factors are depth of cut and drill point angle with the contributions of 87% and 12% respectively, whereas the cutting speed is insignificant contributing by 1% only. Confirmation tests verified that the selected optimal combination of process parameter through Taguchi design was able to achieve desired surface roughness.

The influence of carbon black on the deformation-strength properties of high density polyethylene is considered. It was found that the deformation-strength properties of the polymer matrix change over the entire range of the filler content. The amount of carbon black that can be introduced into high-density polyethylene and obtained a composite material with the optimal combination of stiffness, strength and ductility is established. It was shown that the change in the deformation-strength properties of composites is due to the behavior and influence of carbon black particles on the structure of the polymer matrix.

Coating quality for scrimber products against exterior conditions is largely dependent on the surface properties. The wettability, morphology, and chemical composition of pine scrimber surfaces were investigated to better understand the surface properties. The scrimber was found to be a hydrophilic material because the water contact angles were less than 90°. The panels with a density of 1.20 g/cm3 had the largest angle change rate (k = 0.212). As the panel density increased, the instantaneous contact angle of each test liquid (i.e., water, formamide, and diiodomethane) on the panels decreased, and so did surface free energy. Panels with higher density showed lower surface roughness. Surface roughness across the wood grain was greater than that along the grain. SEM observations showed the high-density panels had a smoother surface with fewer irregular grooves in comparison with the low-density panels. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis indicated that more unoxygenated groups appeared on the surface of high-density panels.

The present study investigates the effect of the carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotube (0~3 wt %) content on the electrical and thermal properties of high density polyethylene/carbon black/carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotube (HDPE/CB/c-MWNT) hybrid nanocomposites. The room temperature electrical resistivity and positive temperature coefficient (PTC) intensity of the nanocomposites significantly improved with the addition of c-MWNT. However, the heat of fusion decreases as the amount of c-MWNT increases. Further, the microstructural parameters such as the fractional free volume (Fv) and free volume hole size (Vf) of the nanocomposites shows appreciable changes around the percolation threshold. Secondly, the PALS results seem to correlate well with the electrical and thermal properties of the composites.
