Modifying Additive

The conducted studies have proven the possibility of the directed control of operational properties of epoxy composites, due to the addition of finely-ground ocher into their composition, and the use of microwave modification of the epoxy composition. The rational content of ocher as a modifying additive (0.5 parts by mass) and a filler (75 parts by mass) of the epoxy composition has been selected, which ensures the improvement of the studied complex of physical-mechanical properties. It has been proven that ocher affects the structure formation processes and the structure of the epoxy composite, thus increasing its thermal, heat and fire resistance. During the research, the application efficiency has been proven, and the optimal parameters of the microwave modification (power—350 W; duration—30 s) of epoxy compositions filled with ocher, which increase physical-mechanical characteristics of composites, have been selected.

Physical And Mechanical Characteristics

Based on magnesium carbonate and antimony oxide (V), MgO•Sb2O5 was obtained. In the formulation of fire-resistant cable PVC-plasticate, antimony (III) oxide was replaced by MgO•Sb2O5 and the fire resistance and physical and mechanical properties of the resulting compound were investigated. It is shown that the replacement of antimony (III) oxide in the composition of PVC cable compound MgO•Sb2O5 leads to the production of a compound that is not inferior in its characteristics to the original plastic compound. In particular, the fire resistance of cable PVC-plasticate, standard industrial formulation and with the obtained MgO•Sb2O5, is practically the same (OI=32%). It has been established that the physical and mechanical characteristics of the cable compound, when replacing antimony oxide (III) with MgO•Sb2O5 in the formulation, remain at the level of the original compound, while MgO×Sb2O5 will have a less negative impact on the environment.

AbstractThe creep test is one of the important approaches to determining some mechanical properties of composite materials. This study was carried out to investigate the creep behaviour of an epoxy composite material that was reinforced with Y2O3 powder at weight ratios of 2%, 7%, 12%, 17% and 22%. Each volume ratio was subjected to five loads over the range of 1N to5N at a constant temperature of 16 ± 2°C. In this work, creep behaviour, stress and elasticity modulus were studied through experimental and numerical analyses. Results showed that increasing the weight ratio of Y2O3 powder enhanced creep characteristics.

We investigated the processes of water absorption, chemical stability and microhardness of films of epoxy composites that contained as the polymer matrix the epoxy resin UP-655 and mineral fillers: graphite, mica, aluminum oxide at their content (0 - 30 % mass). It found that introduction of mineral fillers significantly affects on all complex of operating characteristics of the films. Increase of filler content, especially mica, to 20 %, resulting in slower process and reducing the quantity of absorbed moisture by films. In the study of physical and mechanical properties of filled epoxy composites was established that the introduction of mineral filler significantly affects their microhardness, and the nature of the exposure is determined by the type and filler content.

Tensile, flexural and impact strength are considered as main criteria to determine the mechanical properties of any materials. These properties were determined for woven banana and glass fiber, reinforced epoxy composites. The hand-lay method of fabrication was employed in preparing the composites. Natural fibers offer both cost savings and reduction in density as well as environmental friendly when compare to glass fibers. As if the strength of natural fibers is not as remarkable as glass, fibers its specific properties are comparable.

The Impact

The purpose of the conducted experimental studies is to examine the effect of various influences on the object of study. These effects are called factors. Some of them vary while examining of the object and then they are called variable factors. Each factor takes one or more values in the experiment and then they are called factor levels. The set of values of this factor is called range of factor values – the smallest interval, where are all the values accepted by this factor in the experiment. According to GOST 19222-84, the dependence of the physical-mechanical characteristics of sawdust slag concrete (grade M10) on the specific gravity (share) of wet sawdust of coniferous species and ash-slag mixture in the composition was studied. Regression analysis was used to build a mathematical model of the process with quantitative factors, to verify its adequacy, and to assess the impact of each variable factor on the process. To obtain regression dependencies, a composite second-order B-plan was implemented.

In the present work, chemically treated kenaf fibre (10, 20 and 30 wt. %) reinforced epoxy resin composite formulations were fabricated using hand lay-up technique. The prepared composites were mechanically characterized using Taguchi L27 experimental design to examine the influence of varying kenaf fibre wt. %, NaOH concentration % for chemical treatment, and fibre immersion duration. The grey-fuzzy optimization approach was utilized for optimizing prepared formulations mechanical properties such as tensile strength, impact strength and flexural strength. Further, analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests and response graphs were utilized for delivering model significance and determining the percentage contribution of input variables. The NaOH concentration % was found to be most significant parameter followed by kenaf wt. % in providing best mechanical properties of chemically treated kenaf fibre reinforced epoxy composites.

In this research, a fly ash/epoxy composite was fabricated using fly ash filler classified as industrial waste. The behavior of its mechanical properties was investigated by changing the volume of fly ash to 10, 30 and 50 vol.%. To determine the influence of particle size on the mechanical properties, we used two different sizes of the fly ash, which were separated by sieving to less than 90 μm and 53 μm. To optimize fabrication conditions, the viscosity of the fly ash/epoxy slurry was measured at various temperatures with different fly ash volume fractions. In terms of mechanical properties, tensile strength increased as the amount of fly ash increased, up to a critical point. On the other hand, the compression strength of the composite increased continuously as the amount of fly ash increased. Finally, the fracture surfaces were characterized and correlated with the mechanical properties.

Using natural fibers as reinforcement in polymer matrix composites necessitates evaluating the latter under different modes of solicitation. This allows extracting its material properties for engineering design and research purposes. The main objective of the study is preparing a consistent set of material properties for unidirectional flax fiber-reinforced epoxy composite with defined composition and basic configuration. These data are prerequisites for growing researches on flax fiber-reinforced epoxy composites, especially for numerical analysis purposes using the finite element method. In this work, partially green unidirectional-flax fiber-reinforced epoxy composites are tested for physical and mechanical properties and studied for their failure modes. Tension, compression, flexion, and shear properties, as well as physical properties like density, specific heat capacity and thermal diffusivity, are evaluated according to ASTM standard test methods. Flax fibers, which are composites by themselves, come in bundles in the composites and demonstrate a complex behavior. Therefore, a fractographic analysis has been conducted to understand the macro and microscale failure mechanisms to correlate them with the material properties. The results are in good agreement with those of the literature, when available, but they mainly show the specific behavior of unidirectional-flax composites subject to different solicitation modes, especially compression and direct shear modes evaluated this way for the first time for unidirectional-flax fiber-reinforced epoxy composite. They cover most of the data required for engineering design and numerical analysis by methods like finite element method, particularly for simulating the machining process of flax fiber-reinforced epoxy composite in the ongoing works.
