Abstract Hybrid cords of two different polyamide yarns, poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide; aramid) and poly(hexamethylene adipamide; nylon 6.6) have been investigated. Aramid is a high-tenacity, high-modulus, low-elongation, and thermally stable yarn material. Nylon 6.6 is a high-elongation, low-modulus, high-fatigue-resistant, and good adhering synthetic yarn. The combination of these two different synthetic yarns enables hybrid cords with a diversified range of mechanical properties. The hybrid cord product property diversification is achieved by proper combination of different cord-forming properties of individual plies, such as linear densities, twist levels, ply numbers, treating conditions, and so forth. The effect of linear densities, twist level of plies, and twist level of cabled cord and ply number on the cord properties and also cord performance have been summarized. Aramid yarn having an 1100 linear density has been combined with nylon 6.6 yarn with a different linear density, ranging from 940 to 2100, to form hybrid cord structures. Twisting of aramid and nylon 6.6 yarns has been kept between 150 and 450 twists per meter, while the ply number of aramid and nylon 6.6 yarns has been varied as one and two plies by keeping the total ply number of the cord as three.

Abstract Soft elastomeric suspension bushing compounds have been developed which are based on natural rubber/polybutadiene (NR/BR) blends which have been softened with polyisobutylene (IM). The new compounds have a Shore A hardness of 45 and a fatigue life of 97 kc and 80 kc for the urethane cured and semi-EV cured compounds respectively. This compares with a fatigue life of 62 kc for the current production compound (Shore A 65). It appears that the mechanical behavior, i.e. resistance to crack growth, of natural rubber based compounds is unaffected by the addition of IM. Fatigue life, compression set and retention of physical properties after heat aging of the new compounds are also superior to the production compound. The dynamic mechanical properties of the new compounds were evaluated and found to have a slightly greater temperature sensitivity than the production compounds.

Acrylic bone cements modified with linoleic acid are a promising low-modulus alternative to traditional high-modulus bone cements. However, several key properties remain unexplored, including the effect of autoclave sterilization and the potential use of low-modulus cements in other applications than vertebral augmentation. In this work, we evaluate the effect of sterilization on the structure and stability of linoleic acid, as well as in the handling properties, glass transition temperature, mechanical properties, and screw augmentation potential of low-modulus cement containing the fatty acid. Neither 1H NMR nor SFC-MS/MS analysis showed any detectable differences in autoclaved linoleic acid compared to fresh one. The peak polymerization temperature of the low-modulus cement was much lower (28–30 °C) than that of the high-modulus cement (67 °C), whereas the setting time remained comparable (20–25 min). The Tg of the low-modulus cement was lower (75–78 °C) than that of the high-stiffness cement (103 °C). It was shown that sterilization of linoleic acid by autoclaving did not significantly affect the functional properties of low-modulus PMMA bone cement, making the component suitable for sterile production. Ultimately, the low-modulus cement exhibited handling and mechanical properties that more closely match those of osteoporotic vertebral bone with a screw holding capacity of under 2000 N, making it a promising alternative for use in combination with orthopedic hardware in applications where high-stiffness augmentation materials can result in undesired effects.

We designed a novel polyisoprene elastomer with high mechanical properties and autonomous self-healing capability at room temperature facilitated by the coexistence of dynamic ionic crosslinks and crystalline components that slowly reassembled.

Composite materials like Aluminium metal matrix composite is playing a very important role in manufacturing industries e.g. automobile and aerospace industries, due to their superior properties such as light weight, low density, high specific modulus, high fatigue strength etc., In this study Aluminium(Al 6061) is reinforced with Silicon Carbide particles and fabricated by Stir Casting Technique (vortex method). The MMC rectangular bars (samples) are prepared with Al6061 and SiC (28 µ size) as the reinforced particles by weight fraction from 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% of SiC. The microstructure analysis and Mechanical properties like Tensile Strength, Vickers Hardness and Charpy Impact Strength were investigated on prepared specimens. It is observed that the properties are increased with increasing of reinforced specimens by weight fraction.

Wear between unidirectionally oriented fiber-reinforced-plastics and mild steel has been investigated. The wear behavior was found to be greatly influenced by the sliding direction, the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced-plastics and by the tribological properties of fiber-reinforcements or matrices. A summarization of wear-resistance of seven different kinds of fiber-reinforced-plastics signified that the epoxy resin reinforced with high-modulus carbon fibers was the best wear-resistant fiber-reinforced-plastics.
