Experimental Investigation and Design Analysis of Hollow Glass Microsphere loaded PP/ABS Composites

Abstract: The objective of the present is to investigate hollow glass microspheres (HGMs) experimentally and carry out design analysis of hollow glass microsphere loaded PP/ABS composites. The tensile and notched Charpy impact test of HGM-filled acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS) and Polypropylene (PP) composites will be studied with varying the concentrations of PP/ABS composite with HGM. Also further the design analysis will be studied by conducting the simulation under the same criteria and comparing the results at the end. This is done to introduce a light weight material without compromising specific strength of PP/ABS composite by adding HGM to the composite. Keywords: Hollow Glass Microsphere (HGM), ABS-Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, PP- Polypropylene, Composites.

Industrialisation and the development of manufacturing process nowadays demand a more efficient and environmental friendly production. Microwave energy can be seen as the alternative heating application to meet the demands due to its ability to heat materials volumetrically. In this study, the usage of microwave energy to join thermoplastic is investigated. One of the key features of thermoplastic is the ability to shape when heated to their glass transition temperature and return to the moulded shape when it is cooled. Engineering thermoplastic Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) was used as member while charcoal powder was used as susceptor material. The joining process was carried out with timing varying from 3 to 5 minutes, adhesive method and direct heating method. Upon the completion of joining, tensile test, 3 points test, hardness test and charpy impact test were conducted and compared to determine the strength of the joint.
