Effects of different pore size nano-mesoporous molecular sieves fillers, i. e. MCM-41, SBA-15, together with organic-montmorillonite (OMMT), mixture of OMMT/MCM-41 or OMMT/SBA-15 (m (OMMT): m (MCM-41)/m (SBA-15) =1:1) and their amounts on mechanical properties of the polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) composites were investigated. When the amount of OMMT/SBA-15 mixture was 0.5 %, tensile strength of the nano-composite reached maximum values of 46.3 MPa. When OMMT/SBA-15 mixture addition amount w (filler) was 1.2 %, impact strength of the nano-composite reached maximum values of 14 KJ/m2. In comparison with PMMA without any filler, the tensile strength and impact strength of nano-composite were increased by 8.4 % and 48 %, respectively.

ABSTRACTHybrids of quaternary ammonium-modified montmorillonites and polypropylene were prepared by melting intercalation. Results of mechanical property measurements show that, tensile strength, modulus and impact strength of PP composites are greatly enhanced simultaneously by a small addition amount of modified montmorillonites.

Nano-sized as-synthesized MCM-41 (with template) particle, whose pore channels and outer surface are full of organic CTAB template, is used as compatibilizers for immiscible polypropylene (PP)/ethylene–propylene–diene terpolymer (EPDM) blends. The mechanical properties of PP/EPDM/mesoporous MCM-41 ternary composites are investigated. The nano-structured MCM-41 (without template) material constituted by an ordered network of hexagonal channels is selected to compare with as-synthesized MCM-41 (with template) in mechanical properties of PP/EPDM blend. The results shows that tensile strength of the blend is increased by 13.6% and the impact strength is increased by 71.6% by addition 2 wt% content of as-synthesized MCM-41 (with template) compared to pure PP/EPDM. The presence of MCM-41(without template) in the blend cannot improve the mechanical properties obviously. SEM reveals that the enhancement of the interface is obtained by adding MCM-41 (with template). SEM also indicates that incorporation of as-synthesized MCM-41 (with template) into PP/EPDM blend can act as compatibilizer, which results in a decreased particle size of dispersion phase together with morphological evidence of interfacial adhesion. However, with the presence of MCM-41 (without template), the interface do not show clearly change compared with the PP/EPDM blend. The PP/EPDM/MCM-41 (with template) composites show higher tensile strength and impact strength than the PP /EPDM / MCM-41 (without template).

Fumed silica particles (SiO2) were directly added into poly (butylene succinate) (PBS) by melt mixing process. The effects of amount of fumed silica particles on mechanical properties of PBS/fumed silica composites, those are tensile strength, tensile modulus, impact strength as well as flexural strength, were investigated. It was found that the mechanical properties decreased with increasing fumed silica loading (0-3 wt%). In order to increase polymer-filler interaction, fumed silica was treated with 3-glycidyloxypropyl trimethoxysilane (GPMS), and its structure was analyzed by FT-IR spectrophotometry. The PBS/modified was found to possess better tensile strength, tensile modulus, impact strength and flexural strength that those of PBS/fumed silica composites.

The need for the development of new biodegradable materials and modification of the properties the current ones possess has essentially increased in recent years. The aim of this study was the comparison of changes occurring in poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) due to its modification by high-energy electron beam derived from a linear electron accelerator, as well as the addition of natural fibers in the form of cut hemp fibers. Changes to the fibers structure in the obtained composites and the geometrical surface structure of sample fractures with the use of scanning electron microscopy were investigated. Moreover, the mechanical properties were examined, including tensile strength, elongation at break, flexural modulus and impact strength of the modified PCL. It was found that PCL, modified with hemp fibers and/or electron radiation, exhibited enhanced flexural modulus but the elongation at break and impact strength decreased. Depending on the electron radiation dose and the hemp fibers content, tensile strength decreased or increased. It was also found that hemp fibers caused greater changes to the mechanical properties of PCL than electron radiation. The prepared composites exhibited uniform distribution of the dispersed phase in the polymer matrix and adequate adhesion at the interface between the two components.

AbstractThis investigation is carried out to understand the effects of water absorption on the mechanical properties of hybrid phenol formaldehyde (PF) composite fabricated with Areca Fine Fibres (AFFs) and Calotropis Gigantea Fibre (CGF). Hybrid CGF/AFF/PF composites were manufactured using the hand layup technique at varying weight percentages of fibre reinforcement (25, 35 and 45%). Hybrid composite having 35 wt.% showed better mechanical properties (tensile strength ca. 59 MPa, flexural strength ca. 73 MPa and impact strength 1.43 kJ/m2) under wet and dry conditions as compared to the other hybrid composites. In general, the inclusion of the fibres enhanced the mechanical properties of neat PF. Increase in the fibre content increased the water absorption, however, after 120 h of immersion, all the composites attained an equilibrium state.

AbstractThe present study emphasizes on joints two industrially important materials AISI 304 with AISI 1021steels, produced by friction welding have been investigated. Samples were welded under different axial pressures ranging from 75MPa to 135MPa, at constant speed of 920rpm. The tensile strength, torsional strength, impact strength and micro hardness values of the weldments were determined and evaluated. Simultaneously the fractrography of the tensile tested specimens were carried out, so as to understand the failure analysis. It was observed that improved mechanical properties were noticed at higher axial pressures. Ductile failures of weldments were also observed at 120MPa and 135MPa axial pressures during fractography analysis.

In this paper, hyperbranched organic montmorillonite (H-OMMT) with hydroxyl (-OH) groups was prepared. The organic montmorillonite (OMMT) was used as a reinforcing agent in NR matrix. The H-OMMT modified natural rubber (NR) had good mechanical properties with the addition of the H-OMMT. Properties, such as tensile strength and abrasion loss, were researched and compared. Results showed that NR/H-OMMT-5% composite had the best tensile and were resistant properties.

This paper presents the findings of experimental studies of the physical and mechanical properties of wood-filled composites based on polylactide (PLA) and vegetable filler in the form of wood flour (WF) thermally modified at 200-240 °C. It also reveals the dependence of the tensile strength, impact strength, bending elastic modulus, and density of composites on the amount of wood filler and the temperature of its thermal pre-modification. We established that an increase in the concentration of the introduced filler and the degree of its heat treatment results in a decrease of the tensile strength, impact strength and density of composite materials, while with a lower binder content, thermal modification at 200 °C has a positive effect on bending elastic modulus. We also found that 40 % content of a wood filler heated to 200 °C is sufficient to maintain relatively high physical and mechanical properties of composite materials. With a higher content of a wood filler, the cost can be reduced but the quality of products made of this material may significantly deteriorate. However, depending on the application and the life cycle of this product, it is possible to develop a formulation that includes a high concentration of filler.
