Layer Structures

Two-step casting method was developed for preparing quasi constrained layer damping structural polymeric composite. Quasi constrained layer structural piezoelectric ceramic P82/carbon black(CB)/epoxy resin(EP) composites were successfully prepared when the ceramic content was less than 30% in volume. Dynamic mechanical analysis(DMA) showed that the composites with quasi constrained layer structure exhibited perfect damping properties. When the piezoelectric ceramic P82 volume fraction was 10%, the composite showed the highest loss factor peak value of 1.182, the widest damping temperature range of 44.2°C, and the largest loss area of 32.17. The storage moduli of composites with quasi constrained layer structures were higher than that with non quasi constrained layer structure.

The effect of NiTi alloy long wires on the viscoelastic behavior of epoxy resin was investigated by utilizing the dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and a novel micromechanical model. The present model is capable of predicting the viscoelastic properties of the shape-memory-alloy (SMA) reinforced polymer as a function of the SMA volume fraction, initial martensite volume fraction, pre-strain level in wires, and the temperature variations. The model was verified by conducting experiments. Good agreement between the theoretical and experimental results was achieved. A parametric study was also performed to investigate the effect of SMA parameters. According to the results, by the addition of a small volume fraction of SMA, the storage modulus of the composite increases significantly, especially at higher temperatures. Moreover, applying a 4% pre-strain caused a 10% increase in the maximum value of the loss factor of the SMA reinforced epoxy in comparison with the 0% pre-strained SMA reinforced epoxy.

In this work, the material properties of a series of fly ash/polyurea composites were studied. Dynamic mechanical analysis was conducted to study the effect of the fly ash volume fraction on the composite’s mechanical properties, i.e., on the material’s frequency- and temperature-dependent storage and loss moduli. It was found that the storage and loss moduli of the composite both increase as the fly ash volume fraction is increased. The storage and loss moduli of the composites relative to those of pure polyurea initially increase significantly with temperature and then slightly decrease or stay flat, attaining peak values around the glass transition region. The glass transition temperature (measured as the temperature at the maximum value of the loss modulus) shifted toward higher temperatures as the fly ash volume fraction increased. Additionally, we present the storage and loss moduli master curves for these materials obtained through application of the time-temperature superposition on measurements taken at a series of temperatures.

Low-density sheet moulding compounds incorporating hollow glass micro-spheres are being increasing used namely in automotive industry, boats and deep-water submarines and core materials. This paper presents the results obtained in a current study of the viscous properties on hybrid short fibre/hollow glass microspheres composites fabricated with epoxy binder. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) was used to study the effect of the filler volume fraction and of the addition of glass fibre reinforcement on the dynamic stiffness modulus, damping coefficient and glass transition temperature in tensile mode. The specimens were cut from plates produced by resin transfer moulding in vacuum with microspheres weight contents up to 13%. Elastic modulus decreases significantly with the increasing of filler volume fraction. In contrary, it increases significantly with the glass fibre reinforcement content. Glass transition temperature apparently tends to decrease with microspheres and of glass fibre reinforcement’s content. Tmax temperatures tend to increase slightly with the addition of fibre reinforcements and the microsphere filler. Maximum damping coefficient is much lower for the foams when compared with net resin.

Thermal and dielectric properties of rigid-rod bifunctional epoxy resin 4,4-bis(2,3-epoxypropoxy) biphenyl epoxy (BP) and commercial epoxy resin diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) were studied using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA), thermal mechanical analyzer (TMA) and dielectric analyzer (DEA). These two epoxies were cured with cyanate ester hardener 2,2’-bis(4-cyanatophenyl) propane (AroCy B10). The BP/B10 system consisting of a rigid-rod structure exhibited better thermal properties than the DGEBA/B10 system with a flexible structure. Anisotropic BP/B10 (2:1) had the highest 5% weight loss temperature, the highest amount of residue and a smaller thermal expansion coefficient than the commercial DGEBA/B10 system. The BP/B10 system, which cured at the LC phase temperature, had higher Tg than the commercial DGEBA/B10 system, as found from dynamic mechanical analysis. The BP/B10 system also demonstrated better dielectric properties than the commercial DGEBA/B10 system when enough curing agent was provided.
