The influence of ultrasonic oscillation process on the performance of oxidized graphene (OG) /epoxy resin (EP) composite is studied. The results show that the oscillation process can greatly improve the tensile strength, shear strength and hardness of EP, as well as it’s morphology, for the compatibility of EP with OG is greatly improved after oscillation. OG can improve the dielectric constants of EP to some extent, while increase the tensile strength at low content, decrease with adding more OG. The tensile strength of EP is 19.32MPa and the dielectric constants 1.73 with 3/1000 content of OG. The morphology of the EP shows that the fracture surface of the composite is layer shape while the surface of EP is smooth, indicating OG change the structure of EP after cross-linking reaction.

As one of the major contributors to the early failures of steel bridge deck pavements, the bonding between steel and asphalt overlay has long been a troublesome issue. In this paper, a novel composite bonding structure was introduced consisting of epoxy resin micaceous iron oxide (EMIO) primer, solvent-free epoxy resin waterproof layer, and ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) hot melt pellets. A series of strength tests were performed to study its mechanical properties, including pull-off strength tests, dumbbell tensile tests, lap shear tests, direct tension tests, and 45°-inclined shear tests. The results suggested that the bonding structure exhibited fair bonding strength, tensile strength, and shear strength. Anisotropic behaviour was also observed at high temperatures. For epoxy resin waterproof layer, the loss of bonding strength, tensile strength, and shear strength at 60°C was 70%, 35%, and 39%, respectively. Subsequent pavement performance-oriented tests included five-point bending tests and accelerated wheel tracking tests. The impacts of bonding on fatigue resistance and rutting propagation were studied. It was found that the proposed bonding structure could provide a durable and well-bonded interface and was thus beneficial to prolong the fatigue lives of asphalt overlay. The choice of bonding materials was found irrelevant to the ultimate rutting depth of pavements. But the bonding combination of epoxy resin waterproof and EVA pellets could delay the early-stage rutting propagation.

The tensile performance of the vinyl resin casting body, epoxy resin casting body, carbon fiber(CF) reinforced vinyl composites and CF/epoxy composites has been presented. The morphology of tensile fracture surface of CF/epoxy and CF/vinyl has been compared, and the interface adhesion has been analysed. The results show the tensile strength for vinyl resin casting body is lower than epoxy resin casting body’s, the tensile modulus of them are close. But the tensile strength and modulus of CF/vinyl composites are both close to CF/epoxy composites. And the vinyl has the better interface adhesion and wettability on CF than epoxy.

Industrial hemp fibre was treated with alkali and the influence of this treatment on interfacial shear strength (assessed using the single fibre pull-out test) and composite strength with an epoxy resin, over a range of epoxy resin to curing agent ratios, was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy was conducted to assess the fracture behaviour of the composite tensile test specimens. It was found that alkali treatment increased the interfacial shear strength and composite tensile strength, Young’s modulus and elongation at break. The highest tensile strength was obtained with an epoxy resin to curing agent ratio of 1:1 while the best Young’s modulus was achieved with a resin to curing agent ratio of 1:1.2.

The engineering property of water-based epoxy resin mortar was investigated in this paper, the fluidity and pin performance are analyzed. Influence of water-based epoxy resin ratio on engineering property was discussed. As the results showed, the fluidity decreases with the increase of resin dosage(water-based epoxy resin on the percentage of total materials), and the best resin dosage is 9.7% around. The shear strength expression was nonlinear fitted, and the integration of shear strength and tensile strength was completed based on the experimental results to guide the engineering application.

ABSTRACTThe effect of the combined chemical treatment of sisal fibres through the subsequent processes of mercerisation (alkali-treatment), then silane treatment and eventually acid hydrolysis, on sisal fibre were investigated. The effect of the treated fibres on the tensile strength and stiffness, flexural strength and stiffness, compression strength and shear strength of their composites with epoxy resin were also studied. Scanning electron microscopy studies of the surfaces of the treated and untreated fibres showed that the chemical treatment processes enhanced the removal of surface extractives and therefore increased the roughness of the surfaces of the fibres in the range of 20 % - 70 %. This avails an increased reinforcement surface area for interlocking with matrix and is, therefore, expected to enhance adhesion of the two. The treated fibre reinforced composites were observed to have higher values of tensile strength and stiffness, flexural strength and stiffness, compression strength and shear strength than the un-treated fibre reinforced composites. These higher values were attributed to better interfacial bonding due to better mechanical interlocking between the treated fibres and epoxy resin arising from the increased roughness of the treated fibres.

The effect of liquid carboxyl terminated butadiene acrylonitrile copolymer (CTBN) on the properties of oxide graphene (OG) /epoxy resin (EP) composite has been studied. The results show that oscillations process can greatly increase the tensile strength, shear strength and hardness of the composites, for the compatibility between the EP and the OG can be greatly improved after oscillations. Infra-red analysis shows that CTBN reacts with EP to form ester group. The tensile strength of the EP decrease, and the elongation at break increase, as more and more CTBN added. The tensile strength of the OG/EP composite is 14.37 MPa, while that of CTBN/OG/EP (15/0.001/100) composite is 4.84 MPa.

The aim of the present investigation was to assess the behaviour of strip-planked parts by comparing wooden specimens glued using two different bio-based adhesives with wooden specimens glued using a conventional epoxy resin generally used in boatbuilding. Experimental tests in accordance with UNI EN standards were performed in order to evaluate mechanical properties such as tensile strength, shear strength, elastic modulus and shear modulus. In addition, compression shear tests were performed in order to assess the shear modulus of the adhesives. The obtained results demonstrate that the mechanical properties of the investigated bio-based adhesives are comparable to, and sometimes better than, the conventional epoxy resin. Moreover, the experimental results give useful information for the design of wooden boats when the strip-planking process is used. Furthermore, a new procedure to assess the shear modulus of elasticity and shear strength, using the application of compression loadings, was proposed. The results were compared to standard lap-joint tests and showed even lower dispersion. Consequently, the testing procedure proposed by the authors is valid to assess shear properties under compression loading, and it can be applied in most laboratories since it involves the use of common testing devices.
