Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a semicrystalline thermoplastic polymer with high chemical resistance, thermal stability and excellent mechanical properties. In the present work, neat PEEK and 3% bioactive glass/PEEK composites were annealed at various temperatures (100 °C, 200 °C and 300 °C) for (30 and 60) min and characterized with mechanical and density tests, differential scanning calorimetery and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Results manifested bioactive glass powder enhanced the properties of the PEEK matrix. Thermal annealing at (200 and 300 °C) had a positive influence on the mechanical properties and density owing to increase in the level of crystallinity, whereas annealing at (100 °C) had not effect on the properties.

7075 Alloy

It is the objective of this study to investigate the effect of ECAP processing and heat treatment on the mechanical properties of the UFG 7075 alloy. Also the effect of post ECAP heat treatment is investigated. The alloy is processed by ECAP after annealing as well as solution treatment to produce an UFG structure. Furthermore mechanical properties and their variations during annealing and aging are investigated. The hardness of the pre-ECAP annealed and the pre-ECAP solutionised 7075 aluminum alloy has increased significantly compared with that of the CG sample. Also hardness of ECAPed specimen has not experienced significant changes in post-ECAP heat treatment and indicated that the alloy had approximately good thermal stability.

The precipitation behaviors and microstructures of nano-precipitates in AA6082 Al-Mg-Si alloy with and without Cu additions during heat treatment process were studied using hardness measurements, TEM, mechanical tests and 3DAP. Meanwhile, the softening process of 6082 alloys with Cu and without Cu, isothermally conditioned at 250°C, has also been investigated. It was found that the rate of age hardening, mechanical properties and thermal stability are higher for the Cu-containing alloy. The TEM and 3DAP observations showed that Q’ precipitates were existed after aged at 170°C for 8h in the alloy with Cu addition. Comparing the hardness, mechanical properties and thermal stability curves, it was concluded that the Q’ precipitates play a major role in improving the age hardening kinetics and properties of 6082 alloy with Cu addition.

A study of the features of structural-phase state, thermal stability, mechanical properties characteristics and fracture features of V-Cr-Ta-Zr alloy after chemical-heat treatment by the method of nonequilibrium internal oxidation has been carried out. It has been established that, in contrast to chemical-heat treatment in a defect state, the effect of oxygen when introduced into a material with a stabilized structure is observed only at high concentrations. At such oxygen concentrations, which ensure the maximum binding of Zr into particles based on ZrO2, the alloy under study demonstrates a high level of thermal stability and strength properties. These effects are associated with the implementation of disperse strengthening according to the Orowan mechanism by nanosized ZrO2 particles characterized by high thermal stability. The concentration and nature of the distribution of oxygen predetermine the spatial distribution of nanosized ZrO2 particles formed during chemical-heat treatment, which manifests itself in fracture features of the material at different temperatures.

TiO2-ZrO2 mixed-oxide membranes were prepared via polymeric sol-gel technique. The final composition is already predefined during the preparation of the sols by using the corresponding quantities of the starting alkoxides. The mixed-oxide membranes were characterized by Xray diffraction, nitrogen sorption, and field emission scanning electron microscopy as well as filtration and corrosion tests. The observed results prove the positive influence on the investigated properties by addition of a second oxide. Depending on the composition of the mixed-oxide membranes, a remarkable increase in the crystallization temperatures is demonstrated. Using mixed-oxide systems, the retardation of grain growth is confirmed.

High Chemical Resistance

Abstract The excellent piezoelectric properties of Polyvinyl Fluoride (PVDF), its low cost, ease of workability and high chemical resistance, make it very useful to develop sensing devices for structural health monitoring applications (SHM). However, challenges occur when the devices need to be embedded into a hosting material or structure which could instead be damaged. In this study, the PVDF device is transformed into an ultralight and porous piezoelectric mat formed by ultra-long and randomly distributed micro fibers. The piezoelectric mat is embedded into a glass fiber (GF) composite by intercalating it with the GF layers during the lay-up process. This approach allows the realization of an intelligent composite that is capable to self-monitor its strain or vibrations during inservice life.

Thermosetting Polymer

Epoxy is a thermosetting polymer and an engineering material for structural and composite applications. However, pure epoxy has disadvantages of stiffness and low toughness properties, so limiting its practical uses. Polyamide is an important thermoplastic polymer for commercial uses. Epoxy has been blended with polyamide (thermoplastic polymer) to enhance the toughness and mechanical properties. Consequently, epoxy/polyamide blend matrix has been developed for composite applications. Incorporation of carbonaceous nanoparticles in epoxy/polyamide blend has been used to improve the morphological and physical properties of these materials. This review describes scientific development in the field of epoxy/polyamide-based nanocomposite and composites. Epoxy/polyamide materials have been reinforced with micro- and macroscale carbonaceous fillers such as graphene, carbon nanotube, nanodiamond, carbon black, carbon fiber, and hybrid fillers. The strength, modulus, toughness, electrical, conductivity, thermal conductivity, and thermal stability properties of epoxy/polyamide have been influenced through the incorporation of nanofillers. The fundamentals and applications (coatings, adhesives, electronics, radiation shielding, automotive/aerospace) of these materials have been discussed. Toward the end, applications, future, and challenges of epoxy/polyamide-based nanocomposites have been comprehended.
