Currently, developments of the so-called Smart-constructions are relevant as they enable a real-time monitoring of changes in required values. Smart designs are widely used in the construction, automotive and aerospace industries. Technologies of creating products from polymer composite materials make it possible to introduce various sensors directly into the structure of a material, thereby create systems monitoring the state of structures. The most recommended for such implementation are fiber-optic sensors, which have a number of advantages over other sensors (luminescent, strain gauge, piezoelectric ones). However, when introducing the fiber-optic sensors, there is a number of difficulties, which are primarily associated with fragility of the optical fiber and lead to the breakdown of fiber-optic lines. As a result, it is necessary to develop a Smart-layer that will protect the optical fiber leads and will not significantly change the physical and mechanical characteristics. This paper aims to determine the stiffness and strength characteristics of samples made of polymer composite materials: reference samples, samples with embedded fiber-optic sensors, samples with embedded Smart-layers. In this work, a Smart-layer is understood as a coating that protects the fiber-optic sensors at the stage of implementation into a structure. The paper considers the following configurations of the Smart-layer: polymer reinforced mesh, polyamide and polyurethane layer. We analyzed and compared the influence of the embedded optical fiber and various configurations of the Smart-layer in the composite structure on the physicomechanical characteristics of the samples obtained under quasi-static loading (tension, compression, and interlayer shear). For a more detailed analysis of using the fiber-optic sensors and various configurations of the Smart-layer, the corresponding loads were simulated to assess their mechanical behavior. Based on the obtained physical and mechanical characteristics, a specific configuration of the Smart-layer was selected and justified for further researches.

Polymer composite materials (PCM) are used extensively and are viewed as candidates for application in various industries, including nuclear power. Despite a variety of methods and procedures employed to investigate the mechanical characteristics of PCMs, the use of the laboratory sample mechanical test results to design and model large-sized structures is not always fully correct and reasonable. In particular, one of the problems is concerned with taking into account the scale parameter effects on the PCM strength and elastic characteristics immediately in the product. The purpose of the study is to investigate the scale effects on the mechanical characteristics of glass reinforced plastics using phenolformaldehyde and silicon-organic binders and a fabric quartz filler. Samples of four different standard sizes under GOST 25604-82 and GOST 4648-2014 were tested for three-point bending using an LFM-100 test machine to estimate the scale effect. The thicknesses of the model samples were chosen with regard for the wall thicknesses of full-scale products under development or manufactured commercially and the test machine features, and varied in the limits of 1.6 to 7.5 mm. The tests showed that strength decreased as the sample thickness was increased to 3 mm and more both at room and elevated (200 to 500 °C) temperatures, which can be described by an exponential function based on the Weibull statistical model. The values of the Weibull modulus that characterizes the extent of the scale effect on the strength of the tested materials were 4.6 to 6.7. The average bend strength in the sample thickness range of 3 mm and less does not vary notably or tends to increase slightly as the thickness is increased. This fact makes it possible to conclude that estimation of allowable stresses in a thin-wall product requires the use of test results for samples with a thickness that is equal to the product wall thickness since standard samples may yield overestimated allowable stress values and lead, accordingly, to incorrect calculations of the strength factor. The results obtained shall be taken into account when defining the allowable levels of operation for full-scale products and structures of polymer composites based on the laboratory sample strength data as well as when estimating their robustness as a characteristic of the product’s fail-safe operation.

The article presents thermoplastic characteristics of polymer composite materials developed on domestic raw materials on a thermoplastic matrix-injection material of the VTP-7 brand based on polyaryl sulfones (polysulfone PSU) plastic and sheet material of the VKU-44 brand based on PSU and carbon unidirectional tape ELUR 0.08 PA. In the article, the author considered the modification method of thermoplastic polymers to impart functional properties and mechanisms of their action. It is shown that the developed materials have no analogues in the domestic industry. According to the level of physical and mechanical characteristics, fire-hazard properties and heat resistance, the developed polymer composite materials (PCM) fully meets the requirements for modern thermoplastic PCM, and is not inferior to foreign analogues.

ABSTRACTIt has generally been assumed that the switching properties of conductor-filled polymer composites are based on a positive temperature coefficient of resistance (PTCR) effect where, at a certain switch temperature, the material resistivity increases by orders of magnitude. Here we present studies of the electrical switching behavior at high current densities which demonstrate that, in the high power regime, the observed switching is not based on the PTCR effect. Instead, we show that this type of switching appears to be a general feature in conductor-filled polymer composite materials and a qualitative model for the switching phenomenon is proposed. These results suggest that conductor-filled polymer composite materials can provide a new non-mechanical way of rapidly limiting high power short circuit currents. This should have broad applications in the circuit protection industry.

Polymer composites are one of the types of modern functional materials. This class includes many different in structure and field of application materials, including dispersed-filled polymer composites [1]. Such materials are made by mixing a polymer matrix in a fluid state with a powder filler and then curing. The properties of the resulting materials are influenced by a variety of factors, including the nature of the preliminary (prior to addition to the mixture with the polymer) mechanical-chemical processing of the filler.
