The effect of vibration on the microstructure and mechanical properties of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) sheets, obtained through vibration plasticating extruder in low temperature, were studied systematically. Property Tests show that the tensile strength and the Vika temperature were much improved under the reciprocating axial vibration in low temperature. Differential scanning calorimetry , scanning electron microcopy and wide angle X-ray diffraction were executed to analyze the microstructure of the samples. The results indicate that the vibration extrudate in low temperature has higher crystallinity, perfect crystallite, and new crystal morphology formed , which account for enhancement of the mechanical properties and Vika temperature of sheets, compared to conventional static extrudate.

Organic filler like carbon black (CB) and inorganic filler like talc (T) with 0, 0.5, 1.0, 10, 20 and 40 wt% were separately loaded in high density polyethylene (HDPE) by the extrusion moulding method at 160oC. Then, different sets of filler loaded HDPE composites were prepared using the compression moulding technique, and their structures and mechanical properties were characterized. The pure HDPE sample, as examined by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, showed orthorhombic structure, which did not change either with filler types or with their concentration. The only variations found in the structure are the changes of crystallinity and crystallized size that depend on both types of fillers and their concentrations. Incorporation of CB in HDPE emphasizes the crystallinity and crystallized size more than that of T. The tensile strength of the composite decreases with the increase of both types of fillers, and this decrease is explained on the basis of Nielson model, which basically describes a poor interaction between filler and HDPE matrix. An increase of Young’s modulus of 350% is observed with the increasing CB and T contents, representing an increase of the stiffness in the materials. Flexural strength increased with the increase of CB content but decreased with the increase of talc content. Although the microhardness was observed to increase with both types of fillers, the hardness value was 80% higher for CB loaded-composites than that of T at 40 wt% filler content. These findings strongly indicate that the compatibility of HDPE is better with organic filler than with inorganic one.

Physics mechanics properties of polymer materials don’t only depend on their chemical constitution, molecular weight and distribution of molecular weight, but also depend on their agglomerate configuration. The effect of vibration on the microstructure and mechanical properties of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) sheets, obtained through vibration plasticating extruder in low temperature, were studied systematically. Crystalline polymer is analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), wide angle X ray diffraction(WAXD). The test result which represents parameters of crystalline structure is helped to judge the outside factors for crystalline structure, such as melting point, crystallinity and heat of fusion by DSC and crystallinity, crystal plane distance and grain size by WAXD, and canning electron microcopy (SEM). The results indicate that the vibration extrudate in low temperature has higher crystallinity, perfect crystallite, and strong inter-spherulite ties.

In this paper, we investigated theimpact of glassy carbon (GC) reinforcement oncrystal structure and the mechanical performance of high-density polyethylene (HDPE). We made composite samples by mixing HDPE granules with powder in ethanol followed bymelt mixing in a laboratory extruder. Along with the investigated composite, we also prepared samples with carbon nanotubes (CNT), graphene (GNP) and graphite (Gr) to compare GC impact with already used carbon fillers. To evaluate crystal structure and crystallinity, we used X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). We supported the XRD results with a residual stress analysis (RSA) according to the EN15305 standard. Analysis showed that reinforcing with GC leads to significant crystallite size reduction and low residual stress values. We evaluated the mechanical properties of composites with hardness and tensile testing. The addition of glassy carbon results inincreased mechanical strength incomposites with CNT and GNP.

Blends of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) have been prepared at different compositions in order to assess the effect of HDPE on gas transport and mechanical behaviors of PCL. Previous to this evaluation, a complete morphological, structural, and thermal characterization were performed using techniques, including SEM, contact angle, FTIR, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction with synchrotron radiation at small and wide angles. Low HDPE incorporations allow interactions to be established at interfaces in the amorphous regions and the enhancement of the mechanical performance. Consequently, the addition of a small amount of HDPE (ranging from 5 to 10 wt%) appears to be appropriate in certain bio-applications where a higher mechanical behavior is required.

This present work investigates the effects of sintering temperature on densification, mechanical properties and microstructure of Al-based alloy pressed by high-velocity compaction. The green samples were heated under the flow of high pure (99.99 wt%) N2. The heating rate was 4 °C/min before 315 °C. For reducing the residual stress, the samples were isothermally held for one h. Then, the specimens were respectively heated at the rate of 10 °C/min to the temperature between 540 °C and 700 °C, held for one h, and then furnace-cooled to the room temperature. Results indicate that when the sintered temperature was 640 °C, both the sintered density and mechanical properties was optimum. Differential Scanning Calorimetry, X-ray diffraction of sintered samples, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy, and Transmission Electron Microscope were used to analyse the microstructure and phases.

The super-tough bio-based nylon was prepared by melt extrusion. In order to improve the compatibility between bio-based nylon and elastomer, the elastomer POE was grafted with maleic anhydride. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) were used to study the compatibility and micro-distribution between super-tough bio-based nylon and toughened elastomers. The results of mechanical strength experiments show that the 20% content of POE-g-MAH has the best toughening effect. After toughening, the toughness of the super-tough nylon was significantly improved. The notched impact strength was 88 kJ/m2 increasing by 1700%, which was in line with the industrial super-tough nylon. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were used to study the crystallization behavior of bio-based PA56, and the effect of bio-based PA56 with high crystallinity on mechanical properties was analyzed from the microstructure.

This paper investigates the ability of the equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) process to induce morphological changes and hence tune the mechanical properties of high-density polyethylene (HDPE). In this study, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), compression and cylindrical macro-indentation tests have been used to investigate the evolution of the mechanical properties of HDPE processed by ECAE up to four passes via route BC, i.e. counter clockwise 90° billet rotation about its longitudinal axis. It was found that the ECAE process induces significant plastic deformations with changes in the crystalline structure. The ECAE process increased the HDPE crystallinity by 10 to 15%. The number of ECAE passes has a significant effect on the magnitude of the mechanical properties especially on the elastic modulus and yield stress. Young’s modulus and yield strength decreased with increasing the number of ECAE passes and reached a stationary state after the third pass.

Ti-based alloys present unique properties and hence, are employed in several industrial segments. Among Ti alloys, β type alloys form one of the most versatile classes of materials in relation to processing, microstructure and mechanical properties. It is well known that heat treatment of Ti alloys plays an important role in determining their microstructure and mechanical behavior. The aim of this work is to analyze microstructure and phases formed during cooling of β Ti-Nb-Sn alloy through different cooling rates. Initially, samples of Ti-Nb-Sn system were prepared through arc melting furnace. After, they were subjected to continuous cooling experiments to evaluate conditions for obtaining metastable phases. Microstructure analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction were performed in order to evaluate phase transformations. Depending on the cooling rate and composition, α” martensite, ω phase and β phase were obtained. Elastic modulus has been found to decrease as the amount of Sn was increased.
