This paper investigates the tensile properties and fracture toughness of a liquid rubber-modified highly crosslinked epoxy cured using 4,4 diaminodiphenyl sulphone (DDS/LR). The results for DDS/LR epoxy in relation to rubber and matrix properties are also compared with those of rubber-modified lowly crosslinked epoxy systems, namely, liquid rubber-modified piperidine cured epoxy (Piperidine/LR) and core-shell-rubber modified piperidine cured epoxy (Piperidine/CSR). It was found that highly crosslinked DDS/LR epoxy has a higher tensile strength than that of either Piperidine/LR or Piperidine/CSR epoxy, while it shows only a moderate increase in the fracture toughness.

ABSTRACTDespite its extensive use, low tensile strength has been recognized as one of the major drawbacks of concrete. Although one has learned to avoid exposing concrete structures to adverse static tensile load, these cannot be shielded from short duration dynamic tensile stresses. Such loads originate from sources such as impact from missiles and projectiles, wind gusts, earthquakes and machine vibrations. The need to accurately predict the structural response and reserve capacity under such loading has led to an interest in the mechanical properties of the component materials at high rates of straining.One method to improve the resistance of concrete when subjected to impact and/or impulsive loading is by the incorporation of randomly distributed short fibers. Concrete (or Mortar) so reinforced is termed fiber reinforced concrete (FRC). Moderate increase in tensile strength and significant increases in energy absorption (toughness or impact-resistance) have been reported by several investigators in static tests on concrete reinforced with randomly distributed short steel fibers. A theoretical model to predict fracture toughness of FRC is proposed. This model is based on the concept of nonlinear elastic fracture mechanics.As yet no standard test methods are available to quantify the impact resistance of such composites, although several investigators have employed a variety of tests including drop weight, swinging pendulums and the detonation of explosives. These tests though useful in ascertaining the relative merits of different composites do not yield basic material characteristics which can be used for design.The author has recently developed an instrumented Charpy type of impact test to obtain basic information such as load-deflection relationship, fracture toughness, crack velocity and load-strain history during an impact event. From this information, a damage based constitutive model was proposed. Relative improvements in performance due to the addition of fibers as observed in the instrumented tests are also compared with other conventional methods.

AbstractHere, core–shell impact modifier particles (CSIMPs) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNs) were used as reinforcing agents for improving the toughness and tensile properties of epoxy resin. For this purpose, emulsion polymerization technique was exploited to fabricate poly(butyl acrylate-allyl methacrylate) core-poly(methyl methacrylate-glycidyl methacrylate) shell impact modifier particles with an average particle size of 407 nm. It was revealed that using a combination of the prepared CSIMPs and MWCNTs could significantly enhance the toughness and tensile properties of the epoxy resin. Also, it was observed that the dominant factors for improving the fracture toughness of the ternary composites are crack deflection/arresting as well as enlarged plastic deformation around the growing crack tip induced by the combination of rigid and soft particles. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with central composite design (CCD) was utilized to study the effects of the amounts of CSIMPs and MWCNTs on the physicomechanical properties of the epoxy resin. The proposed quadratic models were in accordance with the experimental results with correlation coefficient more than 98%. The optimum condition for maximum toughness, elastic modulus, and tensile strength was 3 wt% MWCNT and 1.03 wt% CSIMPs. The sample fabricated in the optimal condition indicated toughness, elastic modulus, and tensile strength equal to 2.2 MPa m1/2, 3014.5 MPa, and 40.6 MPa, respectively.
