Properties Of Composites

AbstractWood polymer composites (WPC) are widely used materials in different industries because of many application, processing and recycling advantages compared to traditional thermoplastic polymer composites containing mineral fillers [1]. However, the commercial success of these materials primarily depends on improvements in moisture performance, and ability to use recycled and waste material as a wood filler. The research regarding WPC is focused on the chemical interaction between dissimilar material components with an aim to provide strong adhesion to the surface of wood filler-polymer matrix [2]. The goal of this paper was to present results of investigations of exploitation properties of composites containing different plywood production industry byproducts and polypropylene. It was shown that modification of all composites with coupling agent maleated polypropylene (MAPP) considerably improve physical mechanical properties (tensile, flexural, impact strength) of WPC. MAPP (5 wt.%) additions also significantly improve water resistance of WPC. SEM investigations confirmed positive action of interfacial modifiers on strengthening of adhesion interaction between components wood and PP matrix that give considerable increase of exploitation properties of the WPC.

Fallen Leaves

The results of assessing the possibilities of using of biomass of fallen leaves as a filler of composite polymer materials with a polyvinyl chloride polymer matrix are presented. Samples of composites with biomass of fallen leaves we obtained by extrusion and hot pressing method. The dependences of their physical and mechanical properties on the content of the filler were determined. These de-pendencies are given in the form of polynomial of the second degree. In terms of most physical and mechanical properties (with the exception of impact strength) composites with biomass of fallen leaves are superior to samples of wood-polymer composites with wood flour with a similar degree of filling. Made of a comparison of the effectiveness of three different plasticizers: dimethyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate and dioctyl therephthalate. The most promising is the use of dibutyl phthalate as a plasticizer. It has been shown that the biomass of fallen leaves is an effective replacement for wood flour in the production of wood-polymer composite materials with a s fr.

Wood Polymer Composites

One of the areas of wood waste processing is their use in the production of wood-polymer composites (WPC). The relevance of wood-polymer products is due to the wide range of applications and qualities of this material. WPC does not rot, is not damaged by insects and fungi, does not contain harmful binders. Products from the duodenum do not crack, do not gouge, are waterproof, which makes them an excellent material for manufacturing a terrace board. However, the terrace board must have certain mechanical qualities, which will allow it to be used in fairly harsh conditions - under the action of humidity, UV radiation and under a certain load. This study aimed to determine the main physical and mechanical properties (density, strength at static bending, modulus of elasticity, water absorption, hardness, abrasion resistance, changes in linear dimensions with changing atmospheric environment) samples of terrace board manufacturing from duodenum with different fillers. Samples from a hollow terrace board, which were filled with polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), were used for the study. Based on experimental studies, it was found that the density of both samples is quite high, close to the maximum; the difference is not significant, but when examining microslices under a microscope in samples with PE as a binder, a larger number of voids is observed, indicating the presence of excess moisture or lack of mineral fillers. It may also indicate the destruction of the polymer. It was determined that a number of other important indicators such as strength at static bending, modulus of elasticity, water absorption, abrasion resistance were the best in the samples with a filler of polyvinylchloride. The greatest difference was in the bending strength index and was 35%. It was also found that the hardness of both samples were equivalent. However, the modulus of elasticity of the sample with a filler with PE exceeded the performance of the sample with a filler with PVC by almost 2.5 times. Thus, based on the research, it is possible to identify a number of clear relationships that indicate that theuse of polyvinylchlorideas a binder significantly improves the physical and mechanical properties of the terrace board based on wood-polymer composite. The results of the research will solve the problem of improving the strength characteristics of wood-composite material to expand the range based on wood waste Keywords: density, hardness, modulus of elasticity, water absorption, abrasion resistance.

The paper studies issues related to physicochemical and chemical techniques for the modification of wood-polymer composites with a thermoplastic polymer matrix (WPCs) to improve their physical and mechanical properties. The physicochemical modification was performed by photochemical crosslinking with the exposure of WPC specimens to UV irradiation. Chemical modification was performed by introducing benzoyl peroxide into the material composition, leading to chemical crosslinking of polyethylene macromolecules of the WPC polymer matrix. As a result of the study, quantitative characteristics of the effect of the benzoyl peroxide content in the composite, as well as the WPC specimen UV irradiation intensity and duration on the basic physical and mechanical properties of the material have been obtained. The efficiency of physicochemical techniques for modifying WPCs has been estimated by changing the specimen properties such as Brinell hardness, water absorption, and impact strength. It has been found that the Brinell hardness increases by 80 % as compared to unmodified WPC specimens. Effective modification of wood-polymer composites with polymer matrices based on high-density polyethylene may lead to a significant improvement in the quality of products made of these materials.

Properties Of Composites

This article is focused on cement based composites. Two cements differing in mineralogical composition are utilised as main binder in composites mixtures. Results of measured physical parameters of studied materials are presented. For the sake of comparison, a reference material with Portland cement was also prepared. Basic physical properties (measured by water vacuum saturation method and by helium pycnometry), characterizations of pore system (determined by mercury porosimetry) and mechanical properties are the matter of this study. Composites show various open porosity; the results of open porosity of materials containing special cements show higher values, in comparison with composite based on Portland cement. This fact of course influences other material characteristics - mainly mechanical properties.

Properties Of Composites

The change of matrix and usage of the aluminum alloys designed for the metal forming in making the composite suspension allows to extend the processing possibility of this type of materials. The possibility of the metal forming of the composites obtained by mechanical mixing will extend the range of composite materials usage. Applying of the metal forming e.g. matrix forging, embossing, pressing or rolling, will allow to remove the incoherence of the structure created while casting and removing casting failures. In order to avoid the appearance of the casting failures the homogenization conditions need to be changed. Inserting the particles into the matrix influences on the shortening of the composite solidification. The type of the applied particles influenced the sedimentation process and reinforcement agglomeration in the structure of the composite. Opposite to the composites reinforced with one-phase particles applying the fasess mixture (glassy carbon and silicon carbide) triggered significant limitation in the segregation process while casting solidification. Inserting the particles into the AW-AlCu2SiMn matrix lowers the mechanical properties tension and impact value strength. The most beneficial mechanical properties were gained in case of heterofasess composites reinforced with the particle mixture of SiC and glass carbon. The chemical composition of the matrix material (AW-AlCu2SiMn) allows to increase additionally mechanical characteristics by the precipitation hardening reached through heat casting forming.

Properties Of Composites

One of the objectives of sustainable development in construction is the use of low-processed materials. They have a positive impact on the ecological balance of the building throughout the entire life cycle. Examples of such materials are materials of plant origin - straw, shives, cellulose fibers. They are used as thermal insulation or wall material. In recent years, hemp shives are increasingly used as a component of a lime-based composite, which performs the function of wall filling in timber frame constructions. The shives, due to the high porosity, determine the high thermal insulation properties of the composite. The physico-mechanical properties of the composite can be modified depending on various factors, including the ratio of hemp shives to the binder. The lime binder, in turn, can be modified by hydraulic and pozzolan additives. The paper presents mechanical properties (compressive and flexural strength) as well as physical properties (density, porosity, thermal conductivity coefficient, absorbability) of composites with various proportions of hemp shives of the Bialobrzeskie variety to the lime binder modified with Portland cement and metakaolinite.
