ABSTRACTThe tensile properties of poly (paraphenylene benzobisoxazole) or PBO fiber strands were studied using two variables: gage length and the number of twists per inch. The gage length was varied from 1 to 10 inches with 2 twists of the fiber per inch. The effect of the number of twists per inch was studied by varying the number of twists from zero to 10 along a 5-inch gage length. The trends of tensile strength and modulus due to these variables were established and appropriate explanations of these behaviors are provided.The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) was studied on bare strands of PBO and Kevlar 49 (a product of Du Pont de Nemours & Co.) fibers, using a Du Pont 943 Thermomechanical Analyzer (TMA) equipped with a film and fiber tension assembly. The axial CTE of both fibers exhibited a dependence on the small dead load employed to keep the fibers straight. Kevlar 49 fiber, when wet, attained a much less negative value of CTE than when dry. In contrast, PBO fiber absorbed very little moisture, and the CTE remained unchanged.

Two castable thermoplastic polyurethane formulations have been developed for use as removable electronics packaging materials. The first formulation would be employed in situations where some elastomeric properties are desired. Mechanical properties for this formulation are: tensile strength 1675 psi, elongation 480%, and modulus 2.2 X 104 psi. The second formulation more closely simulates an epoxy resin and the mechanical properties are: tensile strength 6040 psi, elongation 6.5%, and modulus 2.8 X 105 psi. Both casting resins can be filled (e.g., with Al2O3) which reduces the coefficient of thermal expansion (~ 80 X 10-6 to ~ 40 X 10-6/°C) and susceptibility to creep. The two formulations are soluble in polar organic solvents such as dimethylformamide and tetrahydrofuran. Both formulations were synthesized in bulk and based on reaction rate studies, they exhibit a diffusion controlled process in the latter stages of reaction.

The awareness of the impact of high temperatures on rock properties is essential to the design of deep geotechnical applications. The purpose of this research is to assess the influence of heating and cooling treatments on the physical and mechanical properties of Egyptian granodiorite as a degrading factor. The samples were heated to various temperatures (200, 400, 600, and 800 °C) and then cooled at different rates, either slowly cooled in the oven and air or quickly cooled in water. The porosity, water absorption, P-wave velocity, tensile strength, failure mode, and associated microstructural alterations due to thermal effect have been studied. The study revealed that the granodiorite has a slight drop in tensile strength, up to 400 °C, for slow cooling routes and that most of the physical attributes are comparable to natural rock. Despite this, granodiorite thermal deterioration is substantially higher for quick cooling than for slow cooling. Between 400:600 °C is ‘the transitional stage’, where the physical and mechanical characteristics degraded exponentially for all cooling pathways. Independent of the cooling method, the granodiorite showed a ductile failure mode associated with reduced peak tensile strengths. Additionally, the microstructure altered from predominantly intergranular cracking to more trans-granular cracking at 600 °C. The integrity of the granodiorite structure was compromised at 800 °C, the physical parameters deteriorated, and the rock tensile strength was negligible. In this research, the temperatures of 400, 600, and 800 °C were remarked to be typical of three divergent phases of granodiorite mechanical and physical properties evolution. Furthermore, 400 °C could be considered as the threshold limit for Egyptian granodiorite physical and mechanical properties for typical thermal underground applications.

In this study, Kraft lignin was esterified with phthalic anhydride and was served as reinforcing filler for poly(butylene succinate) (PBS). Composites with different ratios of PBS, lignin (L), modified lignin (ML) and kenaf core fibers (KCF) were fabricated using a compounding method. The fabricated PBS composites and its counterparts were tested for thermal, physical and mechanical properties. Weight percent gain of 4.5% after lignin modification and the FTIR spectra has confirmed the occurrence of an esterification reaction. Better thermo-mechanical properties were observed in the PBS composites reinforced with modified lignin and KCF, as higher storage modulus and loss modulus were recorded using dynamic mechanical analysis. The density of the composites fabricated ranged from 1.26 to 1.43 g/cm3. Water absorption of the composites with the addition of modified lignin is higher than that of composites with unmodified lignin. Pure PBS exhibited the highest tensile strength of 18.62 MPa. Incorporation of lignin and KCF into PBS resulted in different extents of reduction in tensile strength (15.78 to 18.60 MPa). However, PBS composite reinforced with modified lignin exhibited better tensile and flexural strength compared to its unmodified lignin counterpart. PBS composite reinforced with 30 wt% ML and 20 wt% KCF had the highest Izod impact, as fibers could diverge the cracking propagation of the matrix. The thermal conductivity value of the composites ranged from 0.0903 to 0.0983 W/mK, showing great potential as a heat insulator.

The effect of castor oil on the physical and mechanical properties of bacterial cellulose is described. Bacterial cellulose (BC) was impregnated with 0.5–2% (w/v) castor oil (CO) in acetone–water, providing BCCO films. Scanning electron micrographs revealed that the castor oil penetrated the pores of the bacterial cellulose, resulting in a smoother morphology and enhanced hydrophilicity. Castor oil caused a slight change in crystallinity indices and resulted in reduced tensile strength and Young's modulus but increased elongation at break. A significant reduction in tensile strength and Young's modulus was achieved in BCCO films with 2% castor oil, and there was an improvement in elongation at break and hydrophilicity. Impregnation with castor oil, a biodegradable and safe plasticiser, resulted in less rigid and more ductile composites.
