nanoTiO2/PBO composite fiber was prepared with a chemical method by depositing nanoTiO2 on the surface of PBO fiber which was treated by silane coupling agent. The process parameters on the preparation of nanoTiO2/PBO composite fiber were optimized according to the interfacial adhesion between the composite fiber and epoxy resin, and the coating mechanism of nanoTiO2/PBO composite fiber was also discussed. The results show that the uniform nanoTiO2/PBO composite fiber with high interfacial adhesion can be prepared on the PBO fiber which was pretreated by silane coupling agent with a concentration of 1.5 % for 35 min at room temperature, in which the nanoTiO2 aqueous solution with a concentration of 1.0wt% was ultrasonic dispersed for 1h in alkaline environment (pH 11), and then the PBO fiber was immersed in the dispersed solution at 60 °C for 6 h to prepare nanoTiO2/PBO composite fiber. The single fiber pull-out strength of the prepared composite fiber was increased by 85.28 % compared with that of the untreated PBO fiber. Silane coupling agent was a bridge of PBO and nanoTiO2, hydrogen bond association and like dissolves like were attributed to the improvement of interfacial adhesion between nanoTiO2 and PBO fiber.

Epoxy Matrix Composite

Shape memory alloy (SMA) can be embedded into a host material to achieve shape control, damage repair and self-adaption. It is well recognized that the applications of SMA composites are highly dependent on the integrity of SMA fiber-matrix interface. However, the interfacial debonding often occurs due to the weak bonding of interface between the SMA wire and its surrounding matrix. Therefore, it is necessary to improve interfacial strength of SMA composites. In present paper, the epoxy resin is functionalized by mixing different amount of silane coupling agent to improve the interfacial adhesion of SMA fiber reinforced epoxy matrix composite. The single fiber pull-out test is carried out to evaluate the interfacial strength and the test results indicate that the interfacial strength of SMA composite is improved significantly as compared to the results from unfunctionalized samples.

Reinforcing Filler

In this work, rice husk silica (RHS), obtained from rice husk waste, was used as a reinforcing filler for preparing PBAT composites. The RHS surface was modified using a silane coupling agent, i.e. γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS), in order to facilitate interfacial adhesion between PBAT matrix and RHS filler. The contents of MPS were varied between 0.5 - 5.0 % based on weight of RHS. FTIR spectra indicated the appearance of MPS molecules on RHS surface. Untreated RHS and MPS treated RHS were used to produced RHS/PBAT composites containing 30%wt RHS. The results showed that mechanical properties of the PBAT composites can be enhanced by treating RHS surface with 2 %wt MPS.

Different Shapes

In order to explore the influence of the shape and surface treatment of steel fiber on the mechanical properties of artificial granite matrix, the drawing models of W-type, L-type, V-type, and I-type steel fiber are established, the pull-out force of different shapes of steel fiber is calculated theoretically, and a large number of experimental specimens are made for the pull-out test of steel fiber and material strength test. Both theory and experiment show that W-type steel fiber has the greatest influence in artificial granite. The steel fibers with different shapes were treated with KH-550 silane coupling agent. Then the steel fibers with different shapes before and after treatment were put into the artificial granite matrix for pull-out test and material strength test. The results showed that, compared with L-type, V-type, and I-type steel fibers before and after KH-550 silane coupling agent treatment, W-type steel fibers after KH-550 silane coupling agent treatment have the best strength enhancement effect in artificial granite matrix.

Push Out

This study evaluated the influence of silane type and temperature of silane application on push-out bond strength between fiberglass posts with composite resin core and resin cement. One hundred and sixty fiberglass posts (Exacto, Angelus) had the surface treated with hydrogen peroxide 24%. Posts were divided in 8 groups according to two study factors: air-drying temperature after silane application (room temperature and 60 ºC) and silane type: three pre-hydrolyzed - Silano (Angelus), Prosil (FGM), RelyX Ceramic Primer (3M ESPE) and one two-component silane - Silane Coupling Agent (Dentsply). The posts (n=10) for testing the bond strength between post and composite core were centered on a cylindrical plastic matrix and composite resin (Filtek Z250 XT, 3M ESPE) that was incrementally inserted and photoactivated. Eighty bovine incisor roots (n=10) were prepared for testing the bond strength between post and resin cement (RelyX U100, 3M ESPE) and received the fiberglass posts. Push-out test was used to measure the bond strength. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's test (a=0.05). ANOVA revealed that temperature and silane had no influence on bond strength between composite core and post. However, for bond strength between post and resin cement, the temperature increase resulted in a better performance for Silane Coupling Agent, Silano and RelyX Ceramic Primer. At room temperature Silane Coupling Agent showed the lowest bond strength. Effect of the warm air-drying is dependent on the silane composition. In conclusion, the use of silane is influenced by wettability of resinous materials and pre-hydrolyzed silanes are more stable compared with the two-bottle silane.

Thermal Stability Of

Hydrophilic behaviour of carrageenan macroalgae biopolymer, due to hydroxyl groups, has limited its applications, especially for packaging. In this study, macroalgae were reinforced with cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) isolated from kenaf bast fibres. The macroalgae CNF film was after that treated with silane for hydrophobicity enhancement. The wettability and functional properties of unmodified macroalgae CNF films were compared with silane-modified macroalgae CNF films. Characterisation of the unmodified and modified biopolymers films was investigated. The atomic force microscope (AFM), SEM morphology, tensile properties, water contact angle, and thermal behaviour of the biofilms showed that the incorporation of Kenaf bast CNF remarkably increased the strength, moisture resistance, and thermal stability of the macroalgae biopolymer films. Moreover, the films’ modification using a silane coupling agent further enhanced the strength and thermal stability of the films apart from improved water-resistance of the biopolymer films compared to unmodified films. The morphology and AFM showed good interfacial interaction of the components of the biopolymer films. The modified biopolymer films exhibited significantly improved hydrophobic properties compared to the unmodified films due to the enhanced dispersion resulting from the silane treatment. The improved biopolymer films can potentially be utilised as packaging materials.
