Abstract In order to enhance the application properties of GAP in solid propellant, an energetic copolyurethane binder, (poly[3,3-bis(2,2,2-trifluoro-ethoxymethyl)oxetane] glycol-block-glycidylazide polymer (PBFMO-b-GAP) was developed. The PBFMO-b-GAP was prepared using poly[3,3-bis(2,2,2-trifluoro-ethoxymethyl)oxetane] glycol (PBFMO) which preparing from cationic polymerization and GAP as the raw materials, TDI as the coupling agent via a prepolymer process. The molecular structure of copolyurethane was confirmed by FT-IR, NMR, GPC. The impact sensitivity, mechanical properties and thermal behavior of PBFMO-b-GAP were studied by drop weight test, XPS, tensile test, SEM, DSC and TG/DTG respectively. The results proved that the introduction of fluoropolymer can evidently reduce the sensitivity of GAP based polyurethanes and enhance their mechanical behavior (the tensile strength up to 5.75MPa with a breaking elongation of 1660 %). Also, PBFMO-b-GAP exhibited an excellent resistance to thermal decomposition up to 200°C and good compatibility with Al and HMX. Cook-off test was used to investigate the reactive of copolyurethanes and Al, the results indicated that the copolyurethanes could react with Al efficiently and release significantly more heat. Therefore, the energetic copolyurethanes may serve as promising energetic binders for future propellant formulations.

Cement-based material is brittle and is easily damaged by an impact load with a few blows. The purpose of this paper is to study the relations between the impact resistance and tensile properties of cement-based materials reinforced by polyvinyl alcohol fiber (PVA-FRCM). A drop-weight test and uniaxial tension test were performed. The relations were studied based on the experimental results, including the relation between the blow number and the tensile stress at the first visible cracking (σc) and the relation between the blow number and the tensile strain at the ultimate failure (εf). Results showed that the blow number for the first visible crack for disc impact specimens increases obviously with the increase of σc of slab specimens. The crater diameter and blow number for ultimate failure of the disc specimens increase with the increase of εf of slab specimens. For the PVA-FRCM specimens with larger σc and εf, much more blows are needed to cause both the first visible crack and ultimate failure. Polyvinyl alcohol fibers can reinforce impact resistance and tensile properties of cement-based materials.

Effects of specimen size and ball size on the breakage throughput under the impact loading are investigated using a drop-weight test machine. Samples are square-shaped building stones ranging 20–60 mm in width and 22–256 g in mass. They include granite, marble, and two types of travertine with the thickness of 15 mm. The impact energies, up to 160 J, are achieved by falling balls in a drop-weight test machine. Several steel balls with the diameter of 60, 84, 96, and 120 mm have been used as an impactor. The ball size is a parameter whose effect on the breakage throughput is investigated here. Results show that the larger specimens have better breakage than the smaller ones at the same specific impact energy. It is also indicated that, at constant specific impact energy, the smaller balls behave more efficiently than the larger balls.

Effects by intercritical quenching, which is quenching from dual-phase of ferrite (α) and austenite (γ) region from 953 to 1068 K, on mechanical properties and microstructures of Cu-containing low alloy steel based on ASTM A707 5L grade (hereafter called A707 modified steel) were investigated using 50 kg test ingots. The mechanical properties of the A707 modified steel, i.e. strength at room temperature and fracture toughness at low temperature, were significantly improved by intercritical quenching. This is probably because its effective grain size decreased by intercritical quenching. Then, the optimum temperature of intercritical quenching for A707 modified steel was 1068 K near the AC3 point. Based on the experimental results of the test ingot, we applied intercritical quenching to a trial full-size forging production of about 20,000 mm in length, and researched the tensile, Charpy impact, crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) and drop weight test (DWT) properties across whole length of the trial production. It was found that the trial production has good mechanical properties across whole length. From the present work, an appropriate intercritical quenching is considered to apply for improvement method of the mechanical properties in A707 modified steel forgings.

The silicone succinate surfactant (PMPS) was synthesized by ring-opening reaction using polyether alcohol amine modified polysilosane (PAPS) with maleic anhydride (MA) as the raw materials, and p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) was used as the catalyst. Sulfated castor oil and sulfated rapeseed oil were combinated with PMPS to prepare a new leather fatliqour (PMPSF) composed mainly of PMPS. The molecular structure of PMPS was characterized by FTIR spectra; the thermal properties of PMPS was characterized and analyzed by TGA. PMPSF was used in sheepskin wet blue leather and compared with oxidative sulfited vegetable oils (L-3) and RF-1 fatliquor; the waterproof and mechanical properties of the leather were measured. The results show that the thermal decomposition temperature of PMPS is 192.8°C. Fatliquor PMPSF provids a good level-dyeing property, the leather oiled by it has good flexibility and fullness, the waterproofness and mechanical properties of leather are also good. Moreover, compared with the leather fatliquored by L-3, the thickening rate of leather oiled by PMPSF reaches 13.7%.

This study was conducted to compare the mechanical properties of fly ash artificial geopolymer aggregates with natural aggregate (rock) in term of its impact strength, specific gravity and water absorption.The raw materials used were fly ash, sodium hydroxide, sodium silicate and natural aggregate. After the artificial geopolymer aggregate has been produced, its water absorption, specific gravity and aggregate impact test has been done. All results obtained were compared to natural aggregate. The result shows that the fly ash geopolymer aggregate are lighter than natural aggregate in term of its specific gravity. The impact value for fly ash artificial geopolymer aggregate slightly high compared to natural aggregate while it has high water absorption value compared to natural aggregate. As conclusion, the fly ash artificial geopolymer aggregate can be used as one of the construction materials in concrete as an alternative for coarse aggregate besides natural aggregate with more lightweight properties.

The paper describes the production and the mechanical characteristics of composites made completely from renewable raw materials, the corn straw fiber and the biodegradable plastic, poly(lactic acid). The effect of straw fiber content on the mechanical properties of the composites was studied and the optimum mass fraction was 15%. To enhance the mechanical properties of the composites, two different methods were tested. Maleic anhydride as the compatilizer was introduced into the composites but the changes of the mechanical properties were small. While the other method, pre-treatment for straw fiber before blending, the mechanical properties increased obviously. The tensile strength and the impact strength were 35.6 MPa and 1.67 kJ/m2, respectively.

The functionalized TiO2 with poly(methyl methacrylate) (TiO2-PMMA) was prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), and its reinforcement for epoxy composites was studied. The functionalized TiO2 was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The properties of nanocomposites were measured by impact testing, bending experiment and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Because of the grafting of PMMA and the higher interaction between TiO2-PMMA and epoxy matrix, the composites exhibited the enhancement of mechanical properties at lower content. As the functionalized TiO2 content is 0.5 wt%, the impact strength and bending strength of composite increased nearly 142% and 37%, respectively, compared to the neat epoxy resin.

AbstractIn this study, the influence of the impactor shape on the dynamic response of E-glass/epoxy laminates was investigated. Composite samples were impacted using steel 90° and 120° conical, 24 mm and 12 mm in diameter hemispherical, pyramidal impactors via a specially developed drop weight test machine. The impact tests were performed at impactor mass (20 kg) for impact velocity (2.5 m/s). Plate specimens consisting of 18 plies for tests (180×50 mm) with a nominal thickness (7 mm) were used. Contact force-time and contact force-deflection data obtained from the experiments were interpreted. It was found that the contact force was smaller in the 90° conical impactor while it was bigger in the 24 mm hemispherical one. Absorbed energies were also investigated. The absorbed energy obtained for pyramidal impactor was greater than that of the others. Furthermore, overall damage areas caused by the impactor were evaluated.
