Abstract Although jute fibers-reinforced PLA composites shows strong application prospects, their low mechanical properties limit their applications to some extent. In this paper, nano-SiO2 particles as well as modified nano SiO2 by coupling agents which can efficiently improve the strength and toughness of composite materials are introduced into the PLA matrix. The bending, stretching and thermal properties of designed jute/PLA nonwoven composites were studied. The study shows that the nano-SiO2 particles are beneficial to the interface performance between the PLA matrix and jute leading to improvement in the mechanical property and thermal stability. Moreover, thermomechanical properties indicate that the addition of SiO2 can improve the jute/PLA interfacial adhesion and increase the glass transition temperature of the material. Finally, toughening mechanism of nano-SiO2 particles in the jute/PLA composite was analyzed.

Abstract In this paper, the combined effect of different weight percentages of silicon carbide (SiC) and graphite (Gr) reinforcement on the mechanical properties of polyamide (PA6) composite is studied. Test specimens of pure PA6, 85 wt% PA6+10 wt% SiC+5 wt% Gr and 85 wt% PA6+5 wt% SiC+10 wt% Gr are prepared using an injection molding machine. The tensile, impact, hardness, morphology and thermal properties of the injection molded composites were investigated. The obtained results showed that mechanical properties, such as tensile and impact strength and modulus of the PA6 composites, were significantly higher than the pure PA6, and hybridization with silicon carbide and graphite further enhanced the performance properties, as well as the thermal resistance of the composites. The tensile fracture morphology and the characterization of PA6 polymer composites were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic methods. SEM observation of the fracture surfaces showed the fine dispersion of SiC and Gr for strong interfacial adhesion between fibers and matrix. The individual and combined reinforcing effects of silicon carbide and graphite on the mechanical properties of PA6 hybrid composites were compared and interpreted in this study. Improved mechanical properties were observed by the addition of small amount of SiC and Gr concurrently reinforced with the pure PA6. Finally, thermogravimetric analysis showed that the heat resistance of the composites tended to increase with increasing silicon carbide and graphite content simultaneously.

This paper presents the investigation of moderate properties of solidified Al (LM6)+SiCp metal matrix composite (AMMC). These AMMC is fabricated by considering five different parts of casting and different weight of SiCp for reinforcement. The SiCp wt. % is varied from 5 wt. % to 15 wt. % with a step size 5 %. During casting, temperature is measured using K-thermocouple and temperature vs. solidification curve is traced. These results are compared with the solidification results of Al (LM6) alloy. It is observed that the solidifying duration of AMMC increased as well as decreased liquid temperature by adding SiCp to it. The trend of the curve is also presented that the cooling rate and the duration of solidification are different for different part of casting. Mechanical property of the each five parts of casting is tabulated. It is observed from the properties that the mechanical properties of AMMC increased by increasing the wt. % of the reinforced particles SiCp.

This paper presents recent studies on the processing and characterization of epoxy-alumina nanocomposites. Nano-sized alumina particles are incorporated into epoxy resin via solvent-assisted method, so that the particles are dispersed homogeneously in the epoxy matrix. The morphologies, mechanical and thermomechanical properties of the resulting nanocomposites are studied using transmission electron microscope (TEM), conventional tensile testing and thermomechanical testing methods. TEM results show that the alumina nano-particles with a higher specific surface area tend to agglomerate. Furthermore platelet shape particles shows a better dispersion homogeneity as well as better improvement in the mechanical properties of the composites compared to the rod shape particles.

This study is focused on the modification of wood fiber by using a reactive diisocyanate (toluene diisocyanate, TDI) linker to couple wood fiber with cetyl alcohol and the investigation of its effects on mechanical properties of wood fiber–HDPE composites. The reaction of TDI with wood fiber and then cetyl alcohol resulted in the formation of new urethane bonds assessed by FTIR analysis. Therefore, TDI ended cetyl alcohol was used as a coupling agent in the preparation of wood fiber/ HDPE composite. The outcomes showed that the addition of such coupling agents resulted in greater reinforcement of composites, as indicated by the improvement in mechanical properties. Tensile strength of prepared composites increased by almost 64%, whereas 47% increase in flexural strength and 113% increase in impact properties was observed. However, the moisture absorption of the composites decreased by about 43%. All chemically treated composites showed lower moisture uptake than the untreated composites. This may be due to chemical treatment of wood fiber which reduces its hydrophilicity. These chemical treatments promote interfacial adhesion of fiber and HDPE matrix. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed the improved morphology of the fractured surfaces of composites.

The new wood-plastic nanocomposites (WPC) based on acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resin was successfully blended with ABS and poplar flour (PF) through a HAAKE rheomix. The mechanical properties of nanocomposites, except for flexural modulus, were reduced after increasing the PF content. SEM photos show the reduction resulting from weak interfacial adhesion between the PF phase and ABS phase. Higher PF content leads to a low thermal stability and a high water absorption ratio. Different coupling agents (CA) were employed to improve the compatibility between PF and ABS. The results suggest that ABS-g-MAH is more effective than POE-g-MAH, EVA and SEBS. Maleic anhydride (MA) was blended in situ with PF and ABS as the reactive compatibilizer and mechanical properties of nanocomposites were improved except impact strength.

The PMMA/TiO2 nanocomposites were prepared by in situ polymerization，the dissolution, thermal stability and the mechanical property of the nanocomposites were studied. The results indicated that nano-TiO2 may be crosslinking points in the matrix and the thermal stability of the nanocomposites became higher. As the content of nano-TiO2 increased, the mechanical properties of the nanocomposites had great changes.
