Charpy Impact Strength

The aim of this research was to increase the compatibility between PLA and starch with vegetable oil-based additives. Based on tensile results, it can be stated, that Charpy impact strength could be improved for 70/30 and 60/40 blends in both unconditioned and conditioned cases, regardless of vegetable oil, while no advantageous change in impact strength was obtained with PLA-g-MA. Considering sample with the highest starch concentration (50%), the flexural modulus was improved by using sunflower oil-based additive, Charpy impact strength and elongation at break was increased using rapeseed oil-based additive in both conditioned and unconditioned cases. SEM images confirmed the improvement of compatibility between components.

Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) grafted ethyleneoctene multi-block copolymer (OBC) in the presence of the styrene (St) monomer (OBC-g-(GMA-co-St)) was prepared and then used as a compatibilizer for recycled Poly (ethylene terephthalate)/Polypropylene (R-PET/PP) blends. The morphological, rheological and mechanical properties of the blends were investigated. The results show that the compatibilization between R-PET and PP blends is improved by the introduction of OBC-g-(GMA-co-St). The SEM results show that all R-PET/PP blends exhibit a matrix-dispersed droplet type morphology, and the addition of OBC-g-(GMA-co-St) results in a finer morphology and better adhension between the phases. In addition, the storage moduli (G'), loss moduli (G") and the Charpy impact strength of the blends increase with increasing OBC-g-(GMA-co-St) content, while the the flexural strength decreases slightly.

In this article, the effect of the incorporation of three inorganic pigments on the properties of coextruded polypropylene-based composites was studied. Three different pigments were incorporated in the shell layer of the composites: iron oxide, titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO). The tensile properties and Charpy impact strength of the composites were tested. A water immersion test was conducted. The morphology of the fractured surfaces of composites was characterised by scanning electron microscopy. The durability of the composites was assessed by testing colour characteristics and tensile strength after 500 hours of accelerated weathering. The results revealed that the TiO2-containing composite had the highest tensile modulus and Charpy impact strength, while the ZnO-containing composite had the lowest tensile strength and Charpy impact strength. Iron oxide was found to have no effect on either the physical or mechanical properties of the composite. The porosity of composites influences their water absorption and thickness swelling. The TiO2-containing composite exhibited better colour stability.

Charpy Impact Strength

The present investigation focuses on the fabrication and mechanical characterization of alkali treated natural abaca fiber reinforced urea formaldehyde composites. The composites were prepared by means of compression moulding, and then the effects of fiber loading on mechanical properties such as tensile strength, flexural strength and impact strength were investigated. The composite with 40 wt% abaca fibers gave excellent tensile strength and flexural strength showing that it has the most superior bonding and adhesion of all the composites. In particular, the highest value, 10.02 kJ/m2 of charpy impact strength is observed in the composite with 50 wt% abaca fiber. This work revealed the potential of using abaca fibers in fiberboard.
