The Impact

The use of fiber has been widely researched but the use of several fibers as reinforcement does not necessarily result in optimal mechanical properties. This study aimed to determine the tensile strength and impact strength of composite materials using an epoxy matrix with the addition of rubber variations to increase the ductility of the matrix. Meanwhile, the fibers used for reinforcement are carbon fiber and ramie. In this study, the reinforcement added a variety of kenaf fiber, wire and cotton. This was to compare the role of kenaf fiber, wire and cotton in improving the mechanical properties of composite materials. The percentage of rubber volume fraction added to the epoxy is 30%, 40% and 50%.The highest tensile test results were shown in the 30% epoxy rubber-carbon fiber-ramie fiber-kenaf specimen which was 10.67 Kgf / mm2, and the lowest result was the epoxy 50% rubber-carbon fiber-ramie-wire specimen, which was 5.752 kgf / mm2. The fracture analysis of the tensile test showed that the fracture area is formed by debonding phenomena between fibers and matrices.The highest impact strength was found in the 50% epoxy rubber-carbon fiber-ramie-wire specimen, which was 0.039 kgf / mm2. Meanwhile, the lowest impact strength was found in the 40% epoxy rubber-carbon fiber-ramie fiber-cotton specimen, which was 0.030 kgf/ mm2. In general, the trend of impact test data shows that as the percentage volume fraction of rubber increases, the impact strength of the composite material increases.Based on the test analysis, it was concluded that increasing the percentage of rubber will increase the impact strength of the woven wire reinforcement. However, the impact strength is inversely proportional to kenaf fiber reinforcement, where the addition of the percentage of rubber will reduce the impact strength. This showed that the mechanical properties were not always influenced by the percentage of rubber but were very dependent on the type of fiber. This was also shown in the results of the tensile strength test. In general, it was known that the adhesion between fiber and matrix laminates affected the mechanical properties in addition to the strength of the reinforcement.

The Impact

Composite material is a material that has a multi-phase system composed of reinforcing materials and matrix materials. Causes the composite materials to have advantages in various ways such as low density, high mechanical properties, performance comparable to metal, corrosion resistance, and easy to fabricate. In the marine and fisheries industry, composite materials made from fiber reinforcement, especially fiberglass, have proven to be very special and popular in boat construction because they have the advantage of being chemically inert (both applied in general and marine environments), light, strong, easy to print, and price competitiveness. Thus in this study, tensile and impact methods were used to determine the mechanical properties of fiberglass polymer composite materials. Each test is carried out on variations in the amount of fiberglass laminate CSM 300, CSM 450 and WR 600 and variations in weight percentage 99.5% -0.5%, 99% -1%, 98.5% -1, 5%, 98% -2% and 97.5%-2.5% have been used. The results showed that the greater the number of laminates, the greater the impact strength, which was 413,712 MPa, and the more the percentage of hardener, the greater the impact strength, which was 416,487 MPa. The results showed that the more laminate the tensile strength increased, which was 87.054 MPa, and the more the percentage of hardener, the lower the tensile strength, which was 73.921 MPa.

This paper presents the findings of experimental studies of the physical and mechanical properties of wood-filled composites based on polylactide (PLA) and vegetable filler in the form of wood flour (WF) thermally modified at 200-240 °C. It also reveals the dependence of the tensile strength, impact strength, bending elastic modulus, and density of composites on the amount of wood filler and the temperature of its thermal pre-modification. We established that an increase in the concentration of the introduced filler and the degree of its heat treatment results in a decrease of the tensile strength, impact strength and density of composite materials, while with a lower binder content, thermal modification at 200 °C has a positive effect on bending elastic modulus. We also found that 40 % content of a wood filler heated to 200 °C is sufficient to maintain relatively high physical and mechanical properties of composite materials. With a higher content of a wood filler, the cost can be reduced but the quality of products made of this material may significantly deteriorate. However, depending on the application and the life cycle of this product, it is possible to develop a formulation that includes a high concentration of filler.

Practical Implications

Purpose: of this paper is to develop a new generation of polymer composite materials that would ensure the use of residual and serious environmental problems of polyester-glass laminate waste. Design/methodology/approach: The glass reinforced polyester waste was ground and added to produce new composites. Thermoplastic - high impact polystyrene was selected for the composite matrix. Composites containing 10, 20, 30% by weight of the filler of polyester-glass laminate powder were made. The process of extrusion and subsequent injection was used to prepare the test samples. The influence of the filler on selected properties of composites was evaluated. The physical properties of the filler as well as the processing properties of the mixture as well as the mechanical properties - impact strength and tensile strength of the obtained composites were investigated. Findings: A decrease in tensile strength and impact strength was observed along with an increase in the amount of filler. Research limitations/implications: It would be interesting to carry out further analyzes, in particular with a higher volume fraction of the filler or with a different composite structure, e.g. using PVC as a matrix. The developed research topic is a good material for the preparation of publications of a practical and scientific nature, especially useful in the research and industrial environment. Practical implications: The shredded glass-polyester waste can be used as a filler of polystyrene, however, the resulting composite could be used to produce parts with slightly less responsible functions such as artificial jewelery or toy elements. Originality/value: Obtained results are a new solution a global waste management solution for glass reinforced polyester waste, which may contribute to the sustainable development of the composite materials industry through the partial utilization of waste composites with a duroplastic matrix.

The Impact

In this research, three kinds of carbon fiber (CF) with lengths of 1, 3, and 25 mm were prepared for processing composite. The effect of submicron glass fiber addition (sGF) on mechanical properties of composites with different CF lengths was investigated and compared throughout static tests (i.e., bending, tensile, and impact), as well as the tension-tension fatigue test. The strengths of composites increased with the increase of CF length. However, there was a significant improvement when the fiber length changed from 1 to 3 mm. The mechanical performance of 3 and 25 mm was almost the same when having an equal volume fraction, except for the impact resistance. Comparing the static strengths when varying the sGF content, an improvement of bending strength was confirmed when sGF was added into 1 mm composite due to toughened matrix. However, when longer fiber was used and fiber concentration was high, mechanical properties of composite were almost dependent on the CF. Therefore, the modification effect of matrix due to sGF addition disappeared. In contrast to the static strengths, the fatigue durability of composites increased proportionally to the content of glass fiber in the matrix, regardless to CF length.

The Impact

The microstructures and mechanical properties of ausrolled nanobainite steel, after being tempered at temperatures in the range of 200−400 °C, were investigated in this study. After being tempered, bainitic ferrite is coarsened and the volume fraction of retained austenite is reduced. The hardness and ultimate tensile strength decrease sharply. The impact energy, yield strength, and elongation increase with elevated tempered temperature at 200–300 °C but decrease with elevated tempered temperature when the samples are tempered at 350 °C and 400 °C. The fracture appearance of all the samples after impact tests is a brittle fracture. The variation of the mechanical properties may be due to partial recovery and recrystallization.

The results of investigations of the influence of the ageing temperature on the selected mechanical properties i.e. hardness, fracture toughness (examined by the linear elastic fracture mechanics - KIctest) and impact strength (KV) of two-phase Ti6Al7Nb alloy, are presented in the hereby paper. Investigations were performed in the ageing temperatures range: 450÷650°C of the alloy previously undercooled from the selected heating temperature (in two-phase range) - equal 970°C. The heating temperature was determined on the basis of the dilatometric curve of the alloy heating in the system ΔL = f ((T), where: ΔL – change of the sample length, T – temperature, which was then differentiated in the system: ΔL/ΔT = f (T). The dilatometer L78 R.I.T.A of the LINSEIS Company was used in the tests. Investigations of the alloy microstructure in the ageing temperatures range 450÷650°C were carried out by means of the light microscope Axiovert 200 MAT of the Carl Zeiss Company. It was found that nearly equiaxial grains of the primary α phase occur in the microstructure (of the volume fraction app. 30%) and that the volume fraction of the new lamellar α phase - formed from the supersaturated β phase - increases. With an increase of the alloy ageing temperature, in the mentioned above range, a small increase of its hardness from 305 to 324HV as well as a decrease of stress intensity factor KIcfrom 67.3 to 48.6 MPa x m1/2and impact strength (KV) from 40.2 to 31.3 J. The impact tests results were supplemented by the fractographic documentation. It was found, that the characteristic features of the fractures of impact test samples do not exhibit essential differences in dependence of the ageing temperature and material hardness. The fractographic investigations were performed by means of the scanning electron microscope NovaNanoSEM 450.

Elephant Dung

Elephant dung is an excellent source of cellulosic fiber that is a basic requirement for paper making. But they contributed to very small percentage production of elephant dung. So, researchers are trying to find a new area of utilization of elephant dung fiber pulp as in reinforcement’s polymer composite. In this experiment element dung fiber pulp in the natural fiber component chemically treated with alkaline and soda AQ solution in this study, it has been aimed to use elephant dung fiber pulp in composite material and to study mechanical properties of the produced material. The produced composite samples were then characterized using tensile test, Izod impact test, thickness test. The fracture surface of the polymer composite sample was also inspected with the help of SEM. The content of elephant dung fiber pulp is varied (35%, 45%, 55%) weight percentage whereas the epoxy resin is varied (50%, 40%, 30%) percentage is kept constant 15% in hardener. The entire sample has been tested in a universal testing machine as per ASTM standard for tensile strength and impact strength. It is observed that composite with 35% fiber pulp is having the highest tensile strength of 4mm 6.445 Mpa and 8mm 11.80 Mpa. The impact strength of composite with 35% fiber pulp washes highest than 45% to 55% dung fiber pulp. This produces composite sheet will be used for the surfboards, sporting goods, building panel this not only reduces the cost but also save from environmental pollution.

The paper presents published data on the effect of rubber elastomers on the strength properties of epoxy resin (ES) and carbon fiber. The introduction of 10% rubbers into ES ED-20 leads to an increase in compressive strength by 50%, tensile strength by 51%, impact strength by 133% and elongation by 128%. The optimal content of rubber with carboxyl groups for the OLDEN mixture was 10-12.5%, while the increase in compressive strength was 48%, impact strength - 73% and elongation - 187%. For DER 331 resin, the study was conducted with two hardeners Piperidine and DETA. The best results for Piperidine hardener were obtained on rubber with hydroxyl groups, with its optimal content of 2.5%, impact strength increased by 170%. For the hardener DETA, the best results were obtained on rubber with carboxyl groups at its optimal content of 10%, the increase in impact strength was 66%. When modifying carbon fiber with rubbers, it leads to a significant increase in the yield strength in tension by 42%, the modulus of elasticity in bending by 63%, and with a slight loss of impact strength.

The effect of compatibilizer agent was studied when adding Aluminum fine powder (Al) to reinforce in Polypropylene (PP) by compared between polymer matrix composites (PMCs) and PMCs added Polypropylene graft maleic anhydride (PP-g-MAH).The average particle size of the aluminum fine powder was around 75 μm filled in polypropylene with different proportions of 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10wt%. PMCs were prepared using the internal mixer. The results found that when the amount of aluminum fine powder increased, the mechanical properties had changed, i.e., tensile strength, and Young’s Modulus increased, while the impact strength and elongation at break decreased. But, when adding compatibilizer 1wt% it was found that the trend of tensile strength, and Young’s Modulus increased that compared with non-compatibilizer, but the impact strength and elongation at break decreased. The part of the morphology of PMCs with non-compatibilizer was found that the particle of aluminum fine powder dispersed in the matrix phase, but there were many microvoids between filler and matrix. But, PMCs with compatibilizer caused the microvoids between filler and matrix to be reduced.
