Crosslinked polyester clay nanocomposites were prepared by dispersing originically modified montmorillonite in prepromoted polyester resin and subsequently crosslinked using methyl ethyl ketone peroxide catalyst at different clay concentration. Cure process and the mechanical properties of rubber toughened polyester clay composite have been studied. Rubber toughened thermoset polyester composite were prepared by adding 3 per hundred rubber (phr) of liquid natural rubber (LNR) was used in the mixing of producing this composite. Modification of polyester matrix was done due to the brittle problem of polyester composite. Addition of LNR will increase the toughness of composite and produce ductile polyester. Two types of composites were produced which is clay-lnr polyester composite and clay polyester composite. Addition of liquid natural rubber significantly increased the impact strength and flexural properties. Result shows that addition of 6% of clay-lnr composite give good properties on impact, strength and flexural. From the ESCR test, both composites showed good resistance to environmental.

The Impact

In this work, epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) is used to improve the impact strength of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The natural rubber with poly (3-trimethoxysilyl propyl methacrylate) core-shell (adNR), prepared by admicellar polymerization, is used as the compatibilizer for PMMA/ENR blends which were prepared through melt mixing in a twin screw extruder. The effects of ENR and adNR contents on impact property were investigated by pendulum impact tester. The impact strength increased with ENR and adNR contents. The morphology on the fracture surfaces were demonstrated by using field emission electron microscope (FE-SEM), which showed the compatibility between ENR, adNR and PMMA. Furthermore, the effects of ENR and adNR contents on dynamic and mechanical properties were examined by dynamic mechanical analyzer and universal testing machine, respectively. The results illustrated that the incorporation of the adNR affected the dynamic and mechanical properties of the blends.

The Impact

Performance of new engineered material from epoxy resins with modified epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) and nanofillers were investigated. ENR from renewable natural crop resources is a type of green material with potential to partially substitute or replace and toughen petrochemical-based polymers. Nanocomposites (epoxy resin/ENR/fillers nanoparticles) were characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), atomic force microscope (AFM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Comparison of characterized and mechanical properties of nanofiller reinforced with both nanocellulose and nanosilica were studied. The nanocomposites were characterized for their mechanical properties (e.g., impact strength, tensile strength) and thermal degradation behaviour by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Mechanical property investigation results show that, the impact strength of nanocomposites, can be improved by blending in ENR 50 mixed with nanofiller, relative to the baseline nanocomposite mixers. The nanofiller loading in epoxy composite showed the highest improvement in mechanical properties at 0.75 phr (parts per hundred of resin). Effects of accelerated weathering aging were evaluated, and the observed changes were larger with nanosilica than with nanocellulose filler. Here, the accelerated aging increase in tensile properties was found to be 10% after 14 days in both nanofillers, while the other mechanical properties did not change significantly. These nanocomposites are expected to have high wear rates limiting their service life.

Kenaf Composites

In this study rubber toughened polyester composite filled with kenaf was exposed in different environmental condition such as in artificial sea water (SW), distilled water (DS), environment exposure (Ex) and soil exposure (SL). Rubber-toughened polyester-kenaf fibre composites were prepared by adding 25% of kenaf fibre in unsaturated polyester resin and cross linked with a mixture of methyl ethylketone peroxide and cobalt octanoate. Three percent (3%) of liquid natural rubber (LNR) were added as a toughening agent. The sample was prepared using compression molding technique. The mechanical properties of the composites were evaluated by hardness, flexural and fracture toughness testing. It was found that the samples that being immersed in seawater (SW) had lower mechanical properties as compared to other conditions. The value of hardness strength were decrease about 1.7% and for fracture toughness the decreasing is about 8.53% while flexural strength had been decrease by 30%. Bonding mechanisms were then assessed by scanning electron microscope and FTIR analysis

This paper study the effective toughening of polymer nanocomposites in order to have a balance stiffness, strength and toughness by incorporation of EVA as impact modifier and organoclay as a filler. In this research, rubber toughened PA6/HDPE blends nanocomposites were blended with 1 to 5 phr of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) with incorporation of 5wt% organoclay (MMT) in the presence of HDPE-g-MAH as compatibilizer. The mechanical properties of the samples such as tensile test and tensile modulus were measured by universal tensile machine whiles impact strength and hardness was measured using Izod Impact Tester and Rockwell hardness tester. The composites were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometer and Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA). The results exhibited enhancement of mechanical properties with incorporation of 1 phr EVA but slightly decreased for further addition of EVA content. FTIR analysis showed that both samples with and without EVA presented almost the same trend. TGA stability exhibit samples containing EVA showed lower stability than sample with EVA. Conversely, addition of EVA greatly increases the impact strength as well as improved the toughness of the composites.

The Impact

Poly (lactic acid)/epoxidized natural rubber (PLA/ENR) was prepared by using counter-rotating twin-screw extruder. For dynamic vulcanization process, ENR was compounded with 3 phr of N, N’-m-phenylenebismaleimide (HVA-2) as a crosslinking agent. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of unvulcanized and dynamically vulcanized of ENR on the properties of PLA/ENR blend. The blending of PLA with ENR was prepared with the various composition of ENR (0 wt% to 30 wt%). The morphology and mechanical properties of the blends were investigated by using scanning electron microscope (SEM), tensile test, and impact test. The unvulcanized blend produced a co-continuous morphology of PLA and ENR and the dynamically vulcanized blend shows the dispersed ENR rubber particles in PLA continuous matrix.  For both systems, the tensile strength value was dropped with the increasing amount of ENR content. The impact strength of both systems shows the maximum value at 20 wt% of ENR content. However, dynamically vulcanized PLA/ENR blend shows a better tensile strength and impact strength value as compared with unvulcanized blend.

In this paper, instead of glass fiber, a bio-fiber (piemarker fiber) was used to reinforce unsaturated polyester (UP). UP resin was reinforced with piemarker fiber (PF) in a mold under hot pressing. The mechanical properties of the result composites were tested and hot pressing procedure was optimized. The optimum hot pressing technology was obtained. When hot pressing temperature was 90°C and mat was hot pressed for 1.5h. The mechanical properties of the composites indicated that: the optimum mass ratio of piemarker fiber to UP was 30:70, at which the flexural strength of the composite was 48.77MPa, the tensile strength was 29.082MPa, and the impact strength was 9.89KJ/m2.
