Mechanical testing the behaviour of polybutadiene-cellulose diacetate (functionallized) was performed. The cellulose diacetate was chemically modified to improve the interfacial bonding between the components. The results indicate that the Young's modulus is increased substantially as the content of the functionallized component is increased. Finally, a comparison to theoretical mechanical models is shown.

ABSTRACTSynthesis, mechanical testing, and modeling have been performed for a carbon nanotube material in which the nanotubes are functionalized with variable stiffness tethers (VST) capable of cross-linking the nanotubes. Tests using nanoindentation indicated a six-fold enhancement in the storage modulus when comparing the base material (the cross-linking agent with no nanotubes) to the composite (functionalized nanotube material) that contained 5.3 wt% of nanotubes. To understand how crosslinking the nanotubes may further alter the stiffness, a model of the system was constructed using nanotubes crosslinked with the VST. The model predicted that for a composite with 5 wt% nanotubes at random orientations, crosslinked with the VST, the bulk Young's modulus was reduced to 30% that of the non-crosslinked equivalent.

In this paper, two kinds of micro-mechanical models are utilized to predict the effective Young's modulus for hybrid composites including fiber-like, spherical and needle inclusions in an isotropic matrix. The two models of Multi-Phase Mori-Tanaka Model (MP model) and Multi-Step Mori-Tanaka Model (MS model) are proposed by the authors in a series of interrelated research. The results show that the shape and the Young’s modulus of inclusion, aspect ratio of fiber-like inclusion are the controlling factors to influence the Young's modulus, and MP model is more rational to predict the effective Young’s modulus of hybrid composites reinforced with multi-shape inclusions.

In this study, the mechanical properties and creep behavior of hybrid sol-gel silica-based coatings on copper substrates were investigated. Sol-gel processing was used to synthesize the organically modified silanes using mixtures of tetraethoxysilane and vinyltrimethoxysilane or glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane precursors. The mechanical and creep properties of the coatings were assessed using nanoindentation. The link between film structure and creep behavior from nanoindentation experiments was examined, and simple mechanical models were used to extract Young’s modulus and viscosity from fits to creep data. It is shown that the creep response of the coatings was influenced dramatically by the chain length and amount of organic substituent.

FeAl20Si20 (wt.%) powders prepared by mechanical alloying from different initial feedstock materials (Fe, Al, Si, FeAl27) were investigated in this study. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and nanoindentation techniques were used to analyze microstructure, phase composition and mechanical properties (hardness and Young’s modulus). Finite element model was developed to account for the decrease in measured values of mechanical properties of powder particles with increasing penetration depth caused by surrounding soft resin used for embedding powder particles. Progressive homogenization of the powders’ microstructure and an increase of hardness and Young’s modulus with milling time were observed and the time for complete homogenization was estimated.
