The aim of the current investigation is an analysis of the mechanical and thermal properties of epoxy/ nano-silica/ Kevlar fiber hybrid composites. The ultrasonic vibration-assisted hand layup process was used for the preparation of composite with different weight percentages (1%, 2%, 3%, and 4%) of Nano SiO2 particles and 2 layers of the Kevlar fiber. For the evolution of mechanical properties tensile tests, hardness tests, impact tests, and flexural tests were done. For evaluation of morphological analysis Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy, X-RD, and FT-IR tests were performed. A heat deflection temperature test was performed for the evaluation of the thermal characteristic of the hybrid composite. The results show the improvement of mechanical and thermal properties of the hybrid composite with increasing wt.% of nano SiO2 particles in the hybrid composites. As per the observation of experimental results, the Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy,Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction test also show the enhancement of surface morphology and chemical structure of hybrid composites. The heat diffraction test shows the improvement of thermal resistance and heat absorption capability.As per the observation of experimental results, the tensile strength, hardness, and impact strength increased up to 98%, 16%, and 42% respectively. The flexural test shows the improvement of flexural modulus and stresses 46% and 35% respectively. The heat deflection temperature of hybrid composite improves up to 30%.

Abstract In this work, nanosilica and micro carbon black (CB) as a fillers were used to improve the properties of styrene butadiene rubber/natural rubber blends (SBR/NR) crosslinked by γ radiation. Nanosilica was prepared from silica sand and used as eco-friendly material. These composites were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and the measurements of the physic-mechanical and thermal properties were measured. Field emission scanning electron microscopy showed that the composites reinforced by nanosilica and the measurements of the CB are uniformly dispersed in the blends matrix. The results showed that the physico-mechanical and thermal properties were improved indicating a good interaction between the fillers and rubber matrix. The volume fraction measurements confirmed the formation of crosslinking network structure. Meanwhile, the reinforcement of SBR/NR blend loaded with nanosilica showed improved mechanical than blend loaded with both the nanosilica/carbon black and the CB alone. The highest enhancement was obtained for the three fillers by using a concentration of 35 phr at a dose of 150 kGy of γ-irradiation. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) indicated that the thermal stability of SBR/NR blend reinforced by nanosilica is higher than those blends reinforced with combined filler the silica. It was also found that the irradiated SBR/NR nanocomposites were more stable than the un-irradiated ones.

Porcelain reinforced polyester resin composites (PPCs) having different compositions have been prepared by compression molding. Thermal properties of PPCs were studied by means of TG-DTA and TMA. The influence of porcelain content on thermal properties of PPCs was studied in detail. Thermal conductivities of PPCs decreased from 0.00068 cal/cm sec°C to 0.00030 cal/cm sec°C by the addition of porcelain from 10 to 60%. The results of this study reveal their good thermal stabilities. The 50% degradation temperature of pure Polyester resin was 401.5°C, but that of the PPC-1, PPC-2 and PPC-4 were 406.3°C, 407.8°C, and 417.3°C respectively. The morphology of the composites was studied with scanning electron microscopy (SEM).Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 52(2), 147-152, 2017

In this present investigation, at first, Dially bisphenol A (DABA)/Bismaleimide (BMI) system was modified with gamma-aminopropyltriethoxy silane (KH550). The objective of the work was to study the effect of addition of various weight percentages of KH550 into BMI/DABA composites on its mechanical properties, thermal properties and morphorogy. Further modification was carried out with fumed silica. The role of KH550 was discussed in these composites prepared. Nancomposites were characterized by differential DSC, TGA, and scanning electron microscopy SEM. TGA results confirmed that the heat stability of the nano composite DABA/BMI/KH550 is improved compared with DABA/BMI system. SEM results indicated that the fumed silica dispersed homogeneously in DABA/BMI/KH550 matrix on nanoscale. Mechanical results shows that newly developed system has improved bending modulus to 4.0GPa, while with incorporation of fumed SiO2 impacted strength also improved to 20.60kJ/m2.

This present study details an experimental investigation on understanding the effects of surface-modified waste hemp fibers on the overall properties of thermosetting resin blends composed of dicyanate ester of bisphenol-A and bisphenol-A-based benzoxazine resins. At first, the hemp fibers were subjected to sodium bicarbonate treatment, and then various experimental tests in terms of the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis tests were, respectively, carried out to understand the influence of the as-used treatment on the structural, morphological, and thermal properties of the hemp fibers. The obtained results from the surface characterization evidently demonstrated the positive sodium bicarbonate impacts on the properties of the hemp fibers. After that, various amounts of the treated fibers were incorporated within the dicyanate ester of bisphenol-A/bisphenol-A-based benzoxazine resin blends and the obtained composite materials were characterized for their structural, mechanical behavior and thermal properties. The obtained results clearly revealed that the prepared blend composites were identified to possess good bending and impact strength properties; however, a slight decline was observed in the thermal properties. The scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy investigations demonstrated a good dispersion of the fibers within the blend matrix, and also an enhanced fiber–blend matrix interfacial adhesion, which were plausibly behind the improved mechanical properties of the prepared blend composites.

Electrospun poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) nanofibrous were prepared by electrospinning. Various concentration of polyurethane (PU) were added to PVC solution for plasticization of the electrospun nanofibrous. The pristine and plasticized nanofibrous were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), differencial thermal analysis (DTA), and thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), respectively. Thermal properties form DTA and TGA results indicated that the addition of PU decreased glass transition temperature (Tg) of PVC and increased heat resistance of PVC nanofiber. The dielectric constant of plasticized nanofibrous measured using precision LCR meter indicated that the membrane were dense.

Environmental problems caused by extensive use of polymeric materials can be solved by replacing the synthetic petroleum-based resins with natural biodegradable resins, and synthetic fiber with natural plant fiber. The blend based on euphorbia coagulum and polyester resin with different ratio of both the polymers is produced. In the polymer blend, methyl ethyl ketone peroxide used as an initiator and cobalt naphthenate as an accelerator was added. Bamboo fiber was incorporated into the polymer blend as the natural filler to fabricate composite. Herein, untreated as well as alkali treated bamboo fiber was used to fabricate the composite. Alkali treatment enhanced the compatibility between the polymer blend and the fiber. To evaluate the properties of composites, water absorption, scanning electron microscopy, mechanical test, thermogravimetric analysis, and infrared spectroscopy have been performed. Scanning electron microscopy analysis of composite shows better interlocking between the polymer blend and the fiber. The maximum enhancement in mechanical properties were observed in composite with 30% euphorbia coagulum such as tensile strength, Young’s modulus, flexural strength, and impact strength were increased up to 11%, 48%, 8%, and 60%, respectively, and water absorption decreased up to 47%. Thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry analysis of composite with 30% euphorbia coagulum show enhanced thermal stability up to 8%. Composite material developed was ecofriendly and can be useful for the multipurpose panel, beam, and pedestrian bridge and can replace petroleum products.
