Epoxy (Ep) resin modified with carboxyl-terminated polybutadiene (CTPB) liquid rubber was investigated in this study. Fourier transform infrared verified the chemical reactions between oxirane ring of Ep and carboxyl groups of CTPB using benzyldimethylamine as a catalyst. The decrease of the thermal stability could be due to the lower thermal stability of CTPB compared with that of pure Ep. The mechanical results showed that CTPB-modified Ep was superior to that of the pure Ep, and the best overall mechanical properties were normally achieved with 20 phr of CTPB content. The impact strength of the system containing 20 phr CTPB increased by 193% due to the two-phase nature of the system. The dielectric constant and dissipation factor of the modified Ep obviously declined with the CTPB content compared with pure Ep, for instance, the dissipation factor remained less than 0.02 in wide frequency range.

In this work, PLA /PEBA blends with the addition of different PEBA contents were prepared via self-made Triple-Single Screw Extruder, the phase morphology, mechanical properties thermal stability of PLA /PEBA blends with PEBA content were investigated. For the pure PLA, the tensile strength decreased, while the elongation at break and the impact strength increased significantly with addition of 15% PEBA. The which were improved nearly 23 and 5 times. The results illustrate that the soft component PEBA was beneficial to improve the tensile ductility and the toughness of PLA. SEM measurements indicate the PEBA and PLA intertwined with each other, two phases interface bond tightly, improving the compatibility of the blends when PEBA content is not more than 15 wt%, with further increasing PEBA, the two-phase interface appears and decreases the interfacial adhesion, resulting in the poor mechanical properties of blends.TG results reveal that thermal stability of PLA/PEBA blends was improved.

Rigid polyurethane (PUR) foams were reinforced with sugar beet pulp (BP) impregnated with Aminopropylisobutyl-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (APIB-POSS). BP filler was incorporated into PUR at different percentages—1, 2, and 5 wt.%. The impact of BP filler on morphology features, mechanical performances, and thermal stability of PUR was examined. The results revealed that the greatest improvement in physico-mechanical properties was observed at lower concentrations (1 and 2 wt.%) of BP filler. For example, when compared with neat PUR foams, the addition of 2 wt.% of BP resulted in the formation of PUR composite foams with increased compressive strength (~12%), greater flexural strength (~12%), and better impact strength (~6%). The results of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed that, due to the good thermal stability of POSS-impregnated BP filler, the reinforced PUR composite foams were characterized by better thermal stability—for example, by increasing the content of BP filler up to 5 wt.%, the mass residue measured at 600 °C increased from 29.0 to 31.9%. Moreover, the addition of each amount of filler resulted in the improvement of fire resistance of PUR composite foams, which was determined by measuring the value of heat peak release (pHRR), total heat release (THR), total smoke release (TSR), limiting oxygen index (LOI), and the amount of carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) released during the combustion. The greatest improvement was observed for PUR composite foams with 2 wt.% of BP filler. The results presented in the current study indicate that the addition of a proper amount of POSS-impregnated BP filler may be an effective approach to the synthesis of PUR composites with improved physico-mechanical properties. Due to the outstanding properties of PUR composite foams reinforced with POSS-impregnated BP, such developed materials may be successfully used as thermal insulation materials in the building and construction industry.

The thermal stability is important for tungsten based alloys as plasma facing materials to survive against high heat flux in fusion reactors. In this work, the thermal stability of W-5%V alloy fabricated following a powder metallurgy route by spark plasma sintering technique has been studied. To investigate the impact of temperature on the mechanical properties and microstructures, the alloy was subjected to heat treatment for 2 h over the temperature range 900–1500°C in a pure argon furnace. The micro-hardness values of the heat treated alloys were highly stable as compared to pure tungsten. A slight decrease flexural strength was observed with increasing annealing temperature. The maximum change flexural strength at the highest treated temperature was noted about 14% lower. The morphology analyses of the crack surfaces by scanning electron microscopy did not identify a drastic change in tungsten grain size, after heat treatment. The results indicate that the addition of vanadium in tungsten improves the overall thermal stability of microstructures and mechanical properties.

Refractory Composites

The present project investigated the thermal stability of cold-setting refractory composites under high-temperature cycles. The proposed route dealt with the feasibility of using fillers with different particle sizes and studying their influence on the thermo-mechanical properties of refractory geopolymer composites. The volumetric shrinkage was studied with respect to particle sizes of fillers (80, 200 and 500 µm), treatment temperature (1050–1250 °C) and amount of fillers (70–85 wt.%). The results, combined with thermal analysis, indicated the efficiency of refractory-based kyanite aggregates for enhancing thermo-mechanical properties. At low temperatures, larger amounts of kyanite aggregates promoted mechanical strength development. Flexural strengths of 45, 42 and 40 MPa were obtained for geopolymer samples, respectively, at 1200 °C, made with filler particles sieved at 80, 200 and 500 µm. In addition, a sintering temperature equal to 1200 °C appeared beneficial for the promotion of densification as well as bonding between kyanite aggregates and the matrix, contributing to the reinforcement of the refractory geopolymer composites without any sign of vitrification. From the obtained properties of thermal stability, good densification and high strength, kyanite aggregates are efficient and promising candidates for the production of environmentally friendly, castable refractory composites.

The Impact

The mechanical properties mainly tensile properties, impact toughness and high-cycle fatigue properties, of two-phase Al-20Zn alloy subjected to severe plastic deformation (SPD) via equal-channel angular extrusion (ECAE) using route A up to 2 passes were studied. The ECAE almost completely eliminated as-cast dendritic microstructure including casting defects such as micro porosities. A refined microstructure consisting of elongated micro constituents, α and α+η eutectic phases, formed after ECAE via route A. As a result of this microstructural change, mechanical properties mainly the impact toughness and fatigue performance of the as-cast Al-20Zn alloy increased significantly through the ECAE. The rates of increase in fatigue endurance limit are approximately 74 % after one pass and 89 % after two passes while the increase in impact toughness is 122 %. Also the yield and tensile strengths of the alloy increase with ECAE. However, no considerable change occurred in hardness and percentage elongation of the alloy. It was also observed that the ECAE changed the nature of the fatigue fracture characteristics of the as-cast Al-20Zn alloy.
