The physic-mechanical properties of filled composites based on secondary polypropylene are investigated. As fillers the dispersed wastes of processing of agricultural plants - buckwheat and oat husk, as well as needles flour and wood flour were used. Water absorption, abrasion, impact strength and bending strength of composites were investigated. It has been proven that oat and buckwheat husks can be effectively used in composites based on secondary polypropylene and replace traditional wood fillers. It has been shown that the physic-chemical properties of the filled composites depend on the structure and physicochemical interactions on the phase separation surface, as well as on the surface properties of the filler particles. It is established that for the production of filled composites with improved physic-mechanical characteristics it is necessary to use fillers with small specific surface and concentration of surface functional groups, and the acid-base characteristic of the surface should be closer to neutral. It is shown that these conditions provide for the formation of a uniform structure of the filled composite with less internal stresses.

Maleic anhydride grafted C5 petroleum resin (C5-g-MAH) was prepared using peroxide as an initiator by melt grafting process, and was incorporated as a compatibilizer into Wood Flour/High Density Polyethylene (WF/HDPE) composites. The effect of second monomers and C5-g-MAHs on the morphology and mechanical properties of composites was investigated. Results showed that the presence of a second monomer, Triallyl isocyanurate (TAI), Butyl acrylate (BA) or Trimethylol proane trimethacrylate (TMPTMA), in the grafting system gave rise to higher grafting ratio of C5-g-MAHs compared to that without a second monomer. The highest grafting ratio was obtained as TMPTMA content being 0.20~0.35wt% based on C5. The addition of C5-g-MAHs into WF/HDPE resulted in improved mechanical properties. Meanwhile the composite containing C5-g-MAH with 0.30wt% TMPTMA exhibits the most significant improvement in all mechanical properties with tensile strength and bend strength increasing up to 18% and 20% respectively, which is concomitant with the finer morphology structure observed by SEM, suggesting the remarkable compatibilizing effect of C5-g-MAH with TMPTMA for WF/HDPE composites.

In this paper, magnesium matrix composite with different AlN particles content were fabricated by powder metallurgy. The microstructure of composites was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The mechanical properties of composites were measured by electronic universal testing machine. The results show that the best densification and the highest mechanical properties of composites reached when the addition of 6wt.% reinforcement at 620 °C for 1 hour. Additionally, the compressive strength and bending strength of composites were 217.06 MPa and 207.40 MPa respectively, increased by 79.2% and 91.12% compared with matrix alloy, and the reinforcement particles uniformly distributed in the matrix alloy. It may be concluded that the strengthening mechanism of composites is mainly attributed to grain refinement, load transfer, and dislocation strengthening.

Different kinds of hemihydrate calcium sulfate whiskers were fabricated by calcination method under the condition of 115-600 °C. And the density, moisture rate and mechanical properties of composites of gypsum and whisker were studied. The specific strength of composites was investigated. The results show that gypsum boards with whisker calcined at 115 °C and 300 °C have the maximum and minimum densities, which are about 1658 kg/m3 and 1604 kg/m3, respectively. Hydration ability of anhydrous calcium sulfate whisker is the strongest. The values of specific strength of gypsum board reinforced by different types of whiskers suggested that the porosity of the composites changed with the different kinds of whiskers, which agreed well with the moisture rate and mechanical properties.

AbstractInternal stresses can cause de-lamination and fracture of coatings and structures and it is well known that ion-implantation can be used to control such behavior through modification of the stress. Here, however, we show that the unique ability of implantation to create controlled stresses in materials by altering both the chemical composition and mechanical properties, combined with an increase in the bending strength of materials, can used to create novel vertical nanostructures. Silicon cantilevers (beams), 193nm thick, 200nm wide and 3μm long, were implanted with carbon ions to create a buried SiCx layers. The internal stresses generated by implantation caused the beams to bend at angles ranging from 10 degrees to greater than 90 degrees, leading to unique vertical nanostructures. This method can be used to create 3-D nano electromechanical systems (NEMS).

Ti5Si3 matrix composites reinforced by carbon nanotubes were fabricated by vacuum hot pressing sintering. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microcopy were carried out to analyze the phase and microstructure of the composites. The effects of carbon nanotubes on mechanical properties were investigated. Experimental results showed that the nanotubes partly reacted with Ti and Si powders to obtain Ti5Si3 and Ti3SiC2, TiSi2 when the sintering temperature is about 1380oC. The mechanical properties of composites can be affected by carbon nanotubes. Meanwhile, the maximal increments of Vickers hardness, bending strength and fracture toughness of the composites, compared with the Ti5Si3 matrix, were 62.9%, 160.9% and 159.3%, respectively. Both of transgranular and intergranular fracture in the composites were the main fracture mode. The fracture manners of composites mainly include “bridging” of CNTs, “deflection” of minor phases and the evolution of grain.

Lead composites have been used as anodes in the electrowinning process to produce metals such as copper and zinc. Manufacturing stable lead anodes with appropriate mechanical and chemical properties is required to improve the performance of the electrowinning process. In this study, an accumulative roll bonding (ARB) method was used to fabricate a Co/Pb nanocomposite. Utilizing the ARB method can help us to achieve a uniform structure with enhanced mechanical properties via severe plastic deformation. The results showed that suitable tensile properties were obtained in Pb–0.5%Co–10pass samples. The tensile strength and strain of these samples were 2.51 times higher and 83.7% lower than that of as-cast pure Pb. They also showed creep resistance and hardness up to 1.8 and 2.5 times more than that of as-cast pure Pb. The ARB technique uniformly distributed Co particles in the Pb matrix. The enhanced strength of Pb samples was observed in the composite including grain sizes of less than 50 nm as a result of hindering the recovery phenomenon. The particle size of the Co distributed in the Pb matrix was 353 ± 259 nm. Compared to conventional methods, the ARB process improved the mechanical properties of Co/Pb composites and can open a new horizon to fabricating this composite in metal industries.

Based on diatomite as modifier, maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene as compatibilizer, wood flour as reinforcing material, through single screw extruder, diatomite based wood plastic composite was prepared. The results show that: compared with one-grade-diatomite (OGD) and two-grade-diatomite (TGD), mechanical properties of the composites prepared by calcined diatomite (CD) are better, tensile strength and impact strength reached 46.9MPa and 20.1MPa. With respect to the diatomite types, it is more significant for the effects of MAPP mass on the mechanical properties of composites. The amount of MAPP was controlled in 4%, the mechanical properties of composites are better. The study of rheological properties showed that, the flow property of composites produced by calcined diatomite is better; the interface of the composite components is closer and more superior processability.
