AbstractIn this article, the thermal and mechanical properties of hydroxyapatite (HA)/polyetheretherketone (PEEK) nanocomposites were investigated. The surface of the HA particles was modified by stearic acid. Subsequently, the modified HA and PEEK were ultrasonically dispersed in ethanol and then subjected to drying and ball milling treatments. By controlling the concentration of modified HA, HA/PEEK nanocomposite powders containing various amounts of modified HA were successfully prepared. The tensile strength, impact strength, and flexural strength of the nanocomposite reached maximum values at 2.5 wt% HA and were 18.5%, 38.2%, and 5.7% higher than those of the pure PEEK, respectively. Moreover, the flexural modulus of the HA/PEEK nanocomposites increased at 2.5 wt% HA and was approximately 30% higher than that of the pure PEEK. The thermal property measurements (differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis) showed that the nanocomposites with 2.5 wt%-modified HA exhibited enhanced thermal stability as compared to the pure PEEK, showing potential for selective laser sintering.

ABSTRACTWe have studied some of the physical and mechanical properties of cyclized polybutadiene (CBR) dielectrics by dynamic mechanical analysis, thermal mechanical analysis, thermogravimetry, infrared analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry. Of interest is the difference in properties between thin (<30 μm) films which have been cured under vacuum and those which have been cured in air. Our results indicate that curing under vacuum prevents oxidation and reduces crosslinking. Vacuum cured films have 20% smaller moduli and 200 lower glass transition temperature than do films produced in air.

Wood–plastic composites have emerged and represent an alternative to conventional composites reinforced with synthetic carbon fiber or glass fiber–polymer. A wide variety of wood fibers are used in WPCs including birch fiber. Birch is a common hardwood tree that grows in cool areas such as the province of Quebec, Canada. The effect of the filler proportion on the mechanical properties, wettability, and thermal degradation of high-density polyethylene/birch fiber composite was studied. High-density polyethylene, birch fiber and maleic anhydride polyethylene as coupling agent were mixed and pressed to obtain test specimens. Tensile and flexural tests, scanning electron microscopy, dynamic mechanical analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry analysis and surface energy measurement were carried out. The tensile elastic modulus increased by 210% as the fiber content reached 50% by weight while the flexural modulus increased by 236%. The water droplet contact angle always exceeded 90°, meaning that the material remained hydrophobic. The thermal decomposition mass loss increased proportional with the percentage of fiber, which degraded at a lower temperature than the HDPE did. Both the storage modulus and the loss modulus increased with the proportion of fiber. Based on differential scanning calorimetry, neither the fiber proportion nor the coupling agent proportion affected the material melting temperature.

This research has focused on the effect of modified cellulose and clay on the thermal and mechanical properties of PLA bio-nanocomposite. Cellulose was chemically modified with silane coupling agent in order to enhance compatiblization with PLA. Successful modification was confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and EDX-SEM. PLA was compounded with various amounts and ratios of the modified cellulose and clay by a twin-screw extruder. Thermal properties of the bio-nanocomposites were characterized by Thermogravimetric Analysis and Differential Scanning Calorimetry. Glass transition temperature of the bio-nanocomposite slightly decreased whereas melting temperature remained constant when the amount of both fillers was increased. In addition, crystallization behaviour of PLA has been influenced by the type and amount of the fillers. Clay showed a greater effect on the crystallization of PLA than the modified cellulose and unmodified one, respectively. The flexural modulus of the composite containing equal amount between clay and cellulose was increased with an increasing in fillers contents. But the flexural and impact strength of composite were gradually decreased with an increase in fillers contents. Variation of clay and cellulose ratio resulted in the change of mechanical properties. The composite containing higher ratio between clay:cellulose or cellulose:clay showed a better mechnical properties comparing to the ratio of clay:cellulose equal to 1:1.

The techniques of Rapid Prototyping, also known as Additive Manufacturing, have prompted research into methods of manufacturing polymeric materials with controlled porosity. This paper presents the characterization of the structure and mechanical properties of porous polycaprolactone (PCL) fabricated by Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) using two different particle sizes and laser processing conditions. The results of this study indicated that it is possible to control the microstructure, that is, pore size and degree of porosity, of the polycaprolactone matrix using the SLS technique, by varying the particle size and laser energy density, obtaining materials suitable for different applications, scaffolds and drug delivery and fluid mechanical devices. The specimens manufactured with smaller particles and higher laser energy density showed a higher degree of sintering, flexural modulus, and fatigue resistance when compared with the other specimens.

Purpose Despite the recent progress in basic process understanding considering the selective laser sintering (SLS) of thermoplastics, several aspects of the mechanisms of the beam and powder interaction are not fully understood yet. Recent studies covered the correlation of mechanical properties and part density with the heating rate. The surface roughness of the test specimens was also considered but showed no distinct relation to the part mechanics. The purpose of this paper is to provide a new fundamental model for describing the decreasing mechanical properties with increasing beam speed. Design/methodology/approach While the dependence of mechanical properties with total energy input during exposure is well published, the correlation of the exposure speed with the degree of particle melt (DPM) is the subject of the present study. The DPM is accessible through differential scanning calorimetry measurements. Supporting the previously introduced method of the core-peak height, the interpretation via the core-peak area is proposed as a means to ascertain the melting behaviour for different processing conditions. Further support of the observations is given by x-ray computed tomography and microscopy which allows for a correlation with the respective porosity and inner structure of the parts. Findings The authors show a novel way of describing the decreasing mechanical properties with increasing speed of energy input by showing the dependence of the DPM on the heating rate during exposure. Practical implications The results offer an addition to the understanding considering the reliability and reproducibility of the SLS process. Originality/value The paper extends the existing models of the time-dependent material behaviour, which allows for the derivation of new efficient and stable process strategies.

AbstractSoak of polyurethane-based CMP pads in tungsten slurry and de-ionized water and its effect on retention of thermal and mechanical properties of the pads was studied using Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), Thermal Mechanical Analysis (TMA), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), and Modulated Differential Scanning Calorimetry (MDSC). Simultaneous cross-linking and plastisizing due to soak were established using DMA and MDSC analysis. The stable operating temperature range and its dependence on soak time were determined using TMA analysis. Substantial difference in diffusion behavior of the “soft” and “hard” pads was discovered: diffusion into the hard pads followed Fickian law [1], while diffusion into the multi-layer soft pads was dominated by the fast filling of the highly porous pad surface with liquid.During a traditional CMP process, which involves application of polishing pads and slurry, the pad properties can be substantially and irreversibly changed as the result of slurry/rinse water absorption.The retention of the pad properties after exposure was monitored using such thermal and mechanical techniques, as Thermal Mechanical Analysis (TMA), Dynamical Mechanical Analysis (DMA), Modulated Differential Scanning Calorimetry (MDSC), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA).

In this paper the effect of LDPE content in PVC foams are examined on the structure of both the foam and the LDPE. We attempt to understand how LDPE content affects the structure of PVC in blends and how it changes the glass-transition (Tg). These parameters often provide important information related to the overall macromolecular structure of the polymer blend. Thermal analytical techniques such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) often used to determine the structural transformation of samples. The effect of the miscibility and composition of the PVC/LDPE foam blends on the thermal stability were also investigated.

Thermal and mechanical properties of neat linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) hybrid biocomposite with sugarcane bagasse and eggshell as a reinforcing filler were investigated. Hybrid biocomposites with sugarcane bagasse/eggshell was varied in the range of 6/4, 12/8, 17/13, 20/20, 13/17, 8/12, and 4/6 wt.%, were prepared and examined. The sugarcane bagasse fiber (Sb) was surface-treated using a silane coupling agent (3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate) and eggshell (Es) was treated using titanium (IV) isopropoxide. The results showed that high calcium oxide content was 99 % by weight in eggshell and silicon dioxide content was 50 % by weight in sugarcane bagasse. The tensile and flexural modulus and hardness of the composites with treated Sb/Es were higher than that of the untreated. These values of the LLDPE/Sb/Es composites increased with Sb/Es content. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results show interesting trends in term of the influence of Sb/Es content, both with untreated and treated Sb/Es on the crystallization behavior of the composites but the melting and cold crystallization temperature of its composites did not obviously change. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) indicated their thermal stability of the composites, both untreated and surface-treated Sb/Es were lower than that of neat LLDPE. The sample molded from the biocomposite with surface-treated Sb/Es particles showed better dispersion of the materials inside.

Morphology Of Films

In this paper, silica–lignin hybrid materials were used as fillers for a polylactide (PLA) matrix. In order to simulate biodegradation, PLA/hybrid filler composite films were kept in soil of neutral pH for six months. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) allowed analysis of nonisothermal crystallization behavior of composites, thermal analysis provided information about their thermal stability, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was applied to define morphology of films. The influence of biodegradation was also investigated in terms of changes in mechanical properties and color of samples. It was found that application of silica–lignin hybrids as fillers for PLA matrix may be interesting not only in terms of increasing thermal stability, but also controlled biodegradation. To the best knowledge of the authors, this is the first publication regarding biodegradation of PLA composites loaded with silica–lignin hybrid fillers.
