Glass bead effects on mechanical and tribological properties of the plasticized polyvinyl chloride polymer, which is used for the vehicle's wire and cable insulation, are studied. Glass beads filler is added to the plasticized polyvinyl chloride thermoplastic polymer at ratios of 5, 10, and 20 wt.% by weight in the experimental study. Tensile, hardness, and tribological tests of the plasticized polyvinyl chloride were performed in the study. Tensile strength, tensile modulus, elongation at break, hardness, coefficient of friction, and wear rate values of the glass bead filled plasticized polyvinyl chloride composites were determined for measuring performance. As for the results of the study, the tensile strength, elongation at break, coefficient of friction, and wear rate values decreased while the tensile modulus and hardness values increased with the increase of the glass beads filler content in plasticized polyvinyl chloride composites for use in vehicle’s wire and cable insulation.

Effect of abrasive particle size on tribological behaviour of different elastomers was investigated experimentally in this study. The size of abrasive particle size was varied from coarse (425 µm) to fine (82 µm). Wear rate and coefficient of friction were calculated and analyzed accordingly followed by the examination of worn surfaces by a scanning electron microscope to unravel the wear mechanism. Experimental results showed that abrasive size had a significant effect on wear and friction behaviour of the elastomers. As the abrasive particle size increased, wear rate and coefficient of friction also increased at different rates and exhibited different wear mechanisms that changed from friction to fatigue and roll formation. Mechanical properties of elastomers such as hardness, tensile strength, tear strength, and elongation at break also contributed to wear and friction. The effect of elongation at break and tensile strength on wear rate is more pronounced at lower abrasive particle size, whereas hardness and tear strength play a pivotal role at the higher abrasive size.

Polypropylene/Cocoa Pod Husk (PP/CPH) biocomposites with different maleated polypropylene (MAPP) content were prepared via melt blending process using Brabender Plastrograph mixer. The tensile strength and tensile modulus of PP/CPH biocomposites increased with increasing of MAPP content. The PP/CPH biocomposites with 5 phr of MAPP showed the optimum improvement on tensile properties. However, the increased of MAPP content reduced the elongation at break of PP/CPH biocomposites. At 5 phr of MAPP content, PP/CPH biocomposites showed lowest elongation at break. Scanning electron microscope confirms the PP/CPH biocomposites with MAPP have better filler-matrix interaction and adhesion due to the effect of MAPP.

Effects of alkanolamide (ALK) addition on cure characteristics, swelling behaviour and tensile properties of silica-filled natural rubber (NR)/chloroprene rubber (CR) blends were investigated. The ALK was synthesized from Refined Bleached Deodorized Palm Stearin (RBDPS) and diethanolamine, and incorporated into the silica-filled NR/CR blends as a non-toxic rubber additive. The ALK loadings were 0.0, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0 and 7.0 phr. It was found that the ALK exhibited shorter scorch and cure times and higher elongation at break of the silica-filled NR/CR blends. The ALK also exhibited higher torque differences, tensile modulus and tensile strength at a 1.0 phr of ALK loading and then decreased with further increases in the ALK loading. The swelling measurement proved that the 1.0 phr loading of ALK caused the highest degree in crosslink density of the silica-filled NR/CR blends.

Plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) was fabricated using epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO) as a secondary bioplasticizer with dioctyl phthalate (DOP). The PVC/MFA/CB composites were prepared by melt mixing of the plasticized PVC with modified fly ash (MFA), carbon black N330 (CB), and polychloroprene (CR) in a Haake Rheomix mixer using a rotation speed of 50 rpm at 175°C for 6 min and then compressed by Toyoseiki pressure machine under 15 MPa. The effect of ESBO content on morphology, melt viscosity, tensile properties, and flame retardancy of PVC/MFA/CB composites was investigated. The obtained results showed that the incorporation of ESBO has significantly enhanced the processing ability, Young’s modulus, tensile strength, and elongation at break of the PVC/MFA/CB composites. The torque of PVC/MFA/CB composites was increased to approximately 12% when 50 wt% of DOP was replaced by ESBO. When ESBO was 20 wt% in comparison with DOP weight, the elongation at break, tensile strength, and Young’s modulus of the composites were increased to 48%, 24%, and 4.5%, respectively. Correspondingly, thermogravimetric analysis results confirmed that ESBO had improved the thermostability of the PVC composites. The ESBO have potential as a secondary bioplasticizer replacement material for DOP owing to their better thermomechanical stability.

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) were extracted from corn cob and synthesized by alkaline treatment using 3 wt% sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Acid hydrolysis with 64 wt% sulfuric acid (H2SO4) at different reaction times (30, 45, 60 min) was performed to obtain CNC solutions. CNC was evaluated as a reinforcing agent in natural rubber (NR) at CNC loadings from 1-5 wt%. Gamma-ray radiation was used as vulcanization method and varied at 10 and 20 kGy. The tensile modulus and tensile strength of NR vulcanizates increased with addition of CNC and contents. In addition, radiation by gamma ray impacts the mechanical performance, where CNC/NR composites vulcanized with higher dose of radiation of 20 KGy were found to have the higher values in tensile strength, elongation at break, and modulus than with 10 KGy. Moreover, the tensile strength and elongation at break of the composites after aging were found to slightly increase due to post-curing during the aging process.

Hardness and tribological properties of microstructured coatings developed by conventional thermal spraying are significantly affected by the feedstock melting condition, however, their effect on the performance of nanostructured coatings by suspension high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) are inconclusive. In this work, nano-TiO2 coatings with different degrees of melting (12%, 51%, 81%) of nanosized feedstock were deposited via suspension HVOF spraying, using suspensions with a solid content of 5 wt.%. All the coatings produced had dense structures without visible pores and cracks. Two TiO2 crystal structures were identified in which the rutile content of the coatings increased with increased feedstock melting. Their mechanical, friction and wear behaviours largely relied on the extent of melting of the feedstock. The coating composed of mostly agglomerate particles (12% melted particles) had the lowest coefficient of friction and wear rate due to the formation of a smooth tribo-film on the wearing surface, while the coating composed of mostly fully melted splats (81% melted particles) presented the highest coefficient of friction and low wear rate, whose wear mechanism was dominated by abrasive wear and accompanied by the formation of cracks.

In this study, the response surface methodology was used to investigate the tensile properties of epoxy/graphene nano-platelets/carboxylated nitrile butadiene rubber ternary nanocomposites. Box–Benhken method was used to design experiments for four factors consisting of graphene nano-platelets (at 0, 0.75, and 1.5 wt%), carboxylated nitrile butadiene rubber (0, 5, and 10 wt%), hardener contents (80, 90, and 100 phr), and also different post curing temperature (130, 140, and 150°C). After the samples were prepared, a tensile test was performed to obtain the tensile strength, tensile modulus, and elongation at break of nanocomposites. Moreover, field-emission scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the state of graphene nano-platelets dispersion. The results obtained from the tensile tests showed that increasing the graphene nano-platelets, carboxylated nitrile butadiene rubber, and hardener contents and high post curing temperature reduced the tensile strength. The optimum value of tensile modulus was achieved at low concentration of carboxylated nitrile butadiene rubber and high contents of graphene nano-platelets, whereas maximum elongation at break occurred at high content of carboxylated nitrile butadiene rubber and low concentration of graphene nano-platelets and hardener. In addition, a second-order polynomial model was used to correlate the tensile properties of ternary nanocomposites to the desired factors. Finally, contour plots were used to determine optimum values of the desired factors. It was seen that the presence of 10 wt% of carboxylated nitrile butadiene rubber in the epoxy matrix increased the elongation at break by the considerable amount of ∼49%.

ABSTRACTMechanical properties (tensile modulus, tensile strength, elongation at break), thermal properties (T8' CTE, thermo-decomposition temperature, and rate of weight loss) and electrical properties of Problmlde 414 cured films have been determined. The mechanical properties of Probimide 414 thin films are highly dependent on the hard-bake temperature, hard-bake time, and purge gas, but not dependent on the level of the exposure energy or the presence of 1% Irganox 1010 (w/w) as a stabilizer. At a hard-bake temperature of 350ºC and a nitrogen purge rate of 15 SCFH, Probimide 414 films showed excellent retention of the mechanical properties during extended heat treatment.

PLGA (polylactic-co-glycolic acid) is an ideal material for biodegradable medical suture. PLGA fibers and fiber membrane was prepared by using electrostatic spinning, the surface morphology of PLGA fibers and fiber membranes was observed by SEM, and mechanical properties of PLGA fibers and fiber membranes were tested by self-developed micro-force loading system. Experimental results were found that the arrangement of PLGA fibers due to surface tension and friction between fibers was the main factor on mechanical properties of PLGA fibers. The tensile strength of two fibers in winding arrangement was 1.81 times of fibers arranged in parallel at a given number. The tensile strength of three fibers in winding arrangement was 1.25 times of fibers arranged in parallel at a given number. For 80.6 % porosity and 1.028-5.764 mm width PLGA fiber membranes, tensile strength was 1.06-1.47 MPa, tensile modulus was 9.14-13.6 MPa, and elongation at break was 10.8 % to 11.6 %. The tension of fiber membranes increased with its width.
