The mixing mechanism of short fiber/rubber composite was analyzed. The clearance between the rotor edge peak and mixing chamber influenced mixing, dispersion and length of the short fibers in compound. The new rotor was designed with variable clearance. The large clearance gap improve the mixing, and the small clearance gap helped to improve the dispersion of short fiber. The mixing quality and performance of short fiber/rubber composite were improved by using the new rotor, and the production efficiency increased.

A new type of six-wing synchronous rotor has been designed and manufactured for mixing requirements of the short fiber-rubber composite material. During the manufacturing process of the composite material, different addition proportions of the short fibers have been used. The physical and mechanical performances of the short fiber-rubber composite material have been investigated. The new type rotor meets the mixing requirements of the short fiber-rubber composite material, with the best addition proportion of the short fibers.

Abstract A new development in hose technology, the direct shaping of curved hose reinforced with short fibers at the extrusion die, is described. By moving the inner and outer portions of the tube die out of concentricity in a programmed sequence, the extrusion direction can be made to deviate from the machine axis and thus to produce bends in the hose. This process has been demonstrated on planar S-bends of a 38 mm hose. Bend radii as tight as 13 mm to the inside of the bend are feasible. Such a hose might find various industrial applications. Performance characteristics are similar to cord reinforced coolant hoses. The reproducibility of the die motions and timing sequences to produce the hose shapes are maintained by a digitally controlled hydraulic cylinder that is driven through a stepper motor. The driver for the stepper motor could involve hard-wired or microprocessor circuitry. All of the components for this system are commercially available with the exception of a customized extrusion head to accomodate the mounting and connection of the hydraulic cylinder. This unique process for producing curved hose is contingent upon the use of short fiber reinforcement for several reasons: (a) The reinforcement must be present in the stock before it is extruded. (b) The dispersed short fibers give the hot extruded hose structural integrity to minimize shape distortion before cure. (c) The hoop-wise fiber orientation pattern produced in the novel conically expanding die is augmented by additional reinforcement in the thinner hose wall that occurs on the inside of the bend. An important consequence of the third item above is that the curved hose sections display practically the same burst strength as a straight section, despite the wall thinning that occurs as a result of offsetting the die and pin. The production and performance of these short-fiber reinforced curved hoses can be rationalized in terms of the fluid and mechanical behavior of short fiber composites.

Mixing is the first step for rubber processing. For the short fiber-rubber composite materials, whether the short fibers, carbon black and other additives in the rubber are dispersed well or not has a direct bearing upon the subsequent processing of materials and final performance. Because of the softness of the short fibers, they are easy to group or break during the process of mixing. The research in this paper is conducted by experiment on the methods which are applicable for mixing or mixing rotor of short fiber-rubber composite materials so as to guarantee the materials have good dispersion and the short fibers have rational L/D ratio.

During the extruding process of short fiber-rubber composite material, screw speed is an important factor which influences the orientation of short fibers, as well as the physical and mechanical properties of short fiber-rubber composite material. The effects of different screw speeds on physical and mechanical properties of short fiber-rubber composite material have been studied by experimental study. In the experiments, the screw speeds were 10rpm, 15rpm, 20rpm, 25rpm and 30rpm respectively. The experimental results indicated that when the screw speed was 15rpm, the physical and mechanical properties of short fiber-rubber composite material are better.

Extrusion and molding is one of the most important manufacturing processes of short fiber-rubber composite material. In order to be used to tire tread, the short fibers in rubber are wanted to be radial orientated. But the orientation of short fibers depends on the die structure, and the performances of short fiber-rubber composite material depend on the radial orientation degree of short fibers. So, the die structure has been studied by experiments in order to get a proper die structure for manufacturing of short fiber-rubber composite material. The experimental results indicate that the proper die structure parameters are: the molding length is 15mm, the molding height is 9mm, the channel length is 75mm, the channel height is 12mm and the channel angle is 135º.

Vulcanization process is the last step of manufacturing rubber products. For tire tread which is made of short fiber rubber composite material, vulcanization is complex due to during vulcanization process the flow of mixed rubber maybe change short fibers orientation. As a result, during vulcanization process, several pieces of iron wire have been put in the mold to play the role of tire patterns for the first step research. The experimental results indicate that the flow of mixed rubber would not change short fibers orientation greatly, and physical and mechanical properties of short fiber-rubber composite material keep as good as that vulcanized without iron wire.

Abstract The measured elastic and strength properties of angle-ply composites of short fibers and rubber depend on test-piece geometry. In general, higher tensile moduli and strengths are obtained when plies are both thin and wide. Once the effects of test-piece geometry are taken into account, elastic properties can be calculated as functions of the properties of a single ply. Classical compliance transformation equations can be used. However, because of the invariance of shear modulus in aligned composites, the tensor transformation equations are somewhat simplified. Tensile strengths of off-axis unidirectional composite plates and balanced-angle plies can be fitted by Hill's criterion. Unidirectional composites tend to fail in the weakest mode, depending on the angle of stress, but laminating causes all principal stresses in a ply to be near their ultimate limit at the time of failure.
