Abstract: A form of static coupon following the boat was developed to carry the natural aging test for CF3011/BA9916-II composite in marine environment, and the weather resistance of composite in marine climate was studied. The changes of the morphology of the composite were observed, the changes of the quality ,tensile strength and interlaminar shear strength for specimen were analyzed, and the aging regulation was studied combining with the mechanism of hygrothermal aging for carbon fiber epoxy composite. The test results showed that with the aging time increasing, the moisture absorption of the composite increased, the mechanical strength decreased , and the plastic behavior of the material was showed.

The influences of low temperature on the interlaminar properties for PBO fiber/epoxy composites have been studied at liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K) in terms of three point bending test. Results showed that the interlaminar shear strength at 77 K were significantly higher than those at room temperature (RT). For the analysis of the test results, the tensile behaviors of epoxy resin at both room temperature and liquid nitrogen temperature were investigated. The interface between fiber and matrix was observed using SEM images.

In this study, the physico-mechanical and morphological properties of polyvinyl alcohol/palm kernel shell/coconut kernel shell elastomeric polymer nanocomposites (PVA/PKS/CKS EPNCs) were investigated. PVA/PKS/CKS EPNCs were prepared via solution casting method and the properties of the elastomeric polymer nanocomposites were characterized through Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), tensile testing and moisture absorption test. Test results showed that increasing the PVA content increased the mechanical properties of elastomeric polymer nanocomposites as well as provided better surface morphology. However, beyond certain percentage of PVA content, the moisture absorption increased too. Therefore, 55wt% of PVA/PKS/CKS EPNCs was chosen as the best elastomeric polymer nanocomposites as it had the best overall properties from the aspect of physico-mechanical, morphological and moisture absorption.

Materials have helped in evolving technology to a great extent. Composites have replaced conventional metals/non-metals because of their lightweight. Natural Fibres have been need of the hour owing to environmental concerns and ease of availability. In this work, Cannabis Sativa fibers were treated with 5% Potassium Hydroxide solution. The laminates were prepared by the Compression Moulding technique by reinforcing treated and untreated fibers with an epoxy matrix material. To access the durability of natural fiber composites in the marine environment, prepared laminates were aged in seawater for 150 days. Tensile, flexural and moisture absorption behavior tests have been performed to estimate the durability in seawater. The data obtained have been compared with pristine treated and untreated fiber reinforced samples. From the results, it has been observed that tensile and flexural behavior of untreated fiber reinforced composites were superior to a treated counterpart in both pristine and aged conditions.

The reliability of optical sources is strongly dependent on the degradation and device characteristics are critically dependent on temperature. The degradation behaviours and reliability test results for the laser diode device (Sony-DL3148-025) will be presented .These devices are usually highly reliable. The degradation behaviour was exhibited in several aging tests, and device lifetimes were then estimated. The temperature dependence of 0.63?m lasers was studied. An aging test with constant light power operation of 5mW was carried out at 10, 25, 50 and 70°C for 100hours. Lifetimes of the optical sources have greatly improved, and these optical sources can be applied to various types of transmission systems. Within this degradation range, the device life for system application is estimated to be more than 100 h at 70 ºC at a constant power of 5mW.

The purpose of this study is to improve interlaminar shear strength and self-healing efficiency of spread carbon fiber (SCF)/epoxy (EP) laminates containing microcapsules. Microencapsulated healing agents were embedded within the laminates to impart a self-healing functionality. Self-healing was demonstrated on short beam shear specimens, and the healing efficiency was evaluated by strain energies of virgin and healed specimens. The effects of microcapsule concentration and diameter on apparent interlaminar shear strength and healing efficiency were discussed. Moreover, damaged areas after short beam shear tests were examined by an optical microscope to investigate the relation between the microstructure and the healing efficiency of the laminates. The results showed that the stiffness and the apparent interlaminar shear strength of the laminates increased as the microcapsule concentration and diameter decreased. However, the healing efficiency decreased with decreasing the microcapsule concentration and diameter.

With toluene 2, 4-diisocyanate (TDI), polyethylene glycol (PEG) and 2,3-Epoxy-1-prop -anol (glycidol) used as the raw materials, two epoxy terminated polyurethanes (EPU) was synthesized by prepolymerization and closed end. Moreover, EPU with high toughhess is chosen as a coating agent for carbon fiber with three ethylene tetramine (TETA) as curing agen. The influence of the content of crosslinking agent in the coating layer on properties of composites and the mechanism of interface toughness are investigated. The chemical structure and thermal property of the EPU were studied with FTIR, 1HNMR and TGA, respectively. It proves that the thermal stability of EPU is more stable than epoxy coating. The interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of the sized high modulus carbon fiber/epoxy composites is improved to 71MPa, which increased by 19.4% compared with the composites reinforced by unsized high modulus carbon fiber, and DMTA show that using EPU as a new kind of polymer coating for carbon fiber is a feasible method to improve the interfacial performance of high modulus carbon fiber/epoxy composites.

In order to investigate the corrosion performance of reinforced concrete in the marine environment, the seawater hot rain testing (SHRT) equipment was used to imitate the marine environment and accelerate corrosion rate by circularly spraying seawater to the samples under high temperatures which can attain 70°C. The test results show that SHRT can accelerate the chloride ion permeability which can quickly investigate the corrosion performance of reinforced concrete. Different types of material admixtures have different influences on the corrosion performance of reinforcement concrete, and rust inhibitor and cementitious capillary crystalline material can improve the anti-rust resistance of reinforced concrete effectively.

A modified test fixture to measure the shear properties of composite laminates was designed and manufactured based upon Iosipescu shear test method. Tests on interlaminar shear propertis of T300/BMI composite laminates were conducted according to ASTM D 5379 test standard. Interlaminar shear stress/strain curves and shear failure modes were obtained. The test results showed that the modified shear test fixture and test method were effective in measuring the shear properties of composite laminates.
