Effect of Reactive Graphitic Nanofibers (r-GNFs) on Tensile Behavior of UHMWPE Fiber/Nano-Epoxy Bundle Composites

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers have good mechanical and physical properties and effective radiation shielding functions, which are significant for aerospace structures. In our previous work, nano-epoxy matrices were developed based on addition of reactive graphitic nanofibers (r-GNFs) in a diluent to form a blend. It is found that improved wettability and enhanced adhesion of the matrices to UHMWPE fibers can be obtained. In this study, a series of nano-epoxy matrices with different concentrations of r-GNFs (up to 0.8 wt%) and different weight ratios of r-GNFs to a reactive diluent (1:4, 1:6, 1:7, and 1:9) were prepared. Composite bundle specimens of UHMWPE fiber/nano-epoxy were fabricated and their tensile behavior was investigated. All load-displacement curves of the UHMWPE/nano-matrix bundle composites under tensile loading showed three regions corresponding to the three deformation and failure stages of the materials: 1) elastic deformation stage, 2) plateau stage, and 3) UHMWPE fiber failure stage. The nano-epoxy with 0.3 wt% of r-GNFs and with 1:6 ratio of r-GNFs to the diluent proved to be the best matrix for UHMWPE fiber composites with enhanced tensile properties. For the resulting composite, the load level and consumed energy in the plateau stage were increased by 8% and 30% over the UHMWPE fiber/pure-epoxy specimens, respectively. This UHMWPE fiber composite with the optimized nano-epoxy matrix also possesses the highest initial stiffness and ultimate tensile strength among all the resulting UHMWPE fiber composites. These results laid a foundation for us to fabricate UHMWPE fiber reinforced composite laminates in the near future.     

UHMWPE纤维表面处理及其复合材料性能

Relationship between surface properties and adhesion for etched ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fibers

Chemical etching is an established and popular method of increasing the adhesion to such materials as polyethylene. Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers are exceptional candidates for composite materials except for their poor adhesion. In this research, the bulk, surface and adhesive properties of as-received and chromic acid etched UHMWPE fibers have been examined. The fiber tensile properties, surface chemistry and wettability have been characterized. The adhesion of epoxy has been characterized by the interfacial shear strength of a droplet microbond. The more than six-fold increase in interfacial shear strength observed in this work is related to the etching process. The removal of an oxygen-rich weak boundary layer, surface roughening and oxidation of the UHMWPE contribute to the enhanced adhesion.     

Analytical study of tensile behaviors of UHMWPE/nano-epoxy bundle composites

Ultra-high molecular polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber reinforced nano-epoxy and pure epoxy composites in bundle form were prepared and tested for tensile properties. UHMWPE fiber composites are well known for their superior tensile performance, and this work was conducted to assess the effect of adding nanoadditives to the resin and to evaluate possible enhancements or degradations to that attribute. The results showed that tensile tests on various types of UHMWPE fibers/nano-epoxy bundle composites resulted in an increase in modulus of elasticity due to the addition of small amounts of reactive nanofibers (r-GNFs) to epoxy matrix. It was observed that the modulus of elasticity of the composite bundles depended on both volume fractions of the matrix and the weight percent (wt%) of r-GNFs in the matrix. A non-linear relationship was established among them and an optimal modulus was determined by calculation. A three-dimensional surface plot considering these two parameters has been generated which gives an indication of change in modulus of elasticity with respect to volume fraction of matrix and wt% of r-GNFs in the matrix. A Weibull analysis of tensile strengths for the various bundle composites was performed and their Weibull moduli were compared. The results showed that presence of r-GNFs in the composites increased the strength effectively, and 0.3 wt% r-GNFs based composites showed the highest strength. An important ancillary finding is that optimum tensile values are a function not only of the above parameters, but also strongly influenced by the addition of diluents which control the viscosity of the blend.     

碳纤维增强水泥基复合材料的制备及热电性能研究

将不同含量(0.5%,1.0%,1.5%(质量分数))的碳纤维掺入到硫铝酸盐水泥基体中,制备了碳纤维增强水泥基复合材料。通过SEM、阿基米德排水测试法、四探针法等手段,研究了碳纤维含量对增强水泥基复合材料断面结构、抗弯强度、孔隙率、电导率、热导率和塞贝克系数的影响,并模拟太阳辐射进行了能量收集实验。结果表明,碳纤维均匀地分布在水泥基体中形成网格结构,碳纤维与水泥基体有很强的结合力。当碳纤维含量由0.5%(质量分数)增加到1.5%(质量分数)时,水泥基复合材料的抗压强度由71.36 MPa增加到106.51 MPa,增长了49.26%;孔隙率由0.8%增加到2.0%,增长了150.0%;电导率由0.0214 S/m增加到0.2408 S/m,增长了1025%;热导率由0.261 W/(m·K)减小到0.210 W/(m·K),减少了19.54%;塞贝克系数迅速增大,最大为1.22×10^4μV/K。当碳纤维含量为1.5%(质量分数)时,厚度为20 mm的水泥基复合材料每1 m^2可输出5~6μW的功率;在400 min辐照下,试样表面温度迅速达到70℃左右,1 m^2水泥基复合材料面板上收集到的能量高达8.1×10^-6 J。由此可知,碳纤维含量的增加,极大地提高了碳纤维增强水泥基复合材料的热电性能。     

Effect of a novel coupling agent,alkyl ketene dimer,on the mechanical properties of wood–plastic composites

The objective of this study was to investigate the incorporation of poplar wood fibers both with and without a novel coupling agent, alkyl ketene dimer (AKD), on the mechanical properties of wood fiber/polypropylene (PP) composites. The resulting properties were compared to those obtained with the most commonly used coupling agent, maleic anhydride grafted PP (MAPP). Tensile and impact strengths of the composites decreased with increasing poplar wood fibers content. Tensile modulus of the composites increased by the incorporation of the wood fibers content up to 70 wt% but further increment in the wood fibers decreased the tensile modulus. At the constant content of poplar wood fibers (70 wt%), the tensile strength determined for the coupled composites with 5% AKD increased by 41% in comparison with the non-coupled composites while the tensile modulus increased by 45%, the impact strength of the coupled composites increased by 38%. The performance of 5% AKD on the mechanical properties of the composites is a little better than 3% MAPP. The good performance of 5% AKD is attributed to the enhanced compatibility between the poplar wood fibers and the polymer matrix. The increase in mechanical properties of the composites demonstrated that AKD is an effective coupling agent for wood fiber/PP composites.     

Effects of surface modification of β-CaSiO3 on electrospun poly(butylene succinate)/β-CaSiO3 composite fibers

In this experiment, pure PBSU fibers, PBSU/12.5% β-CaSiO₃, and PBSU/25% β-CaSiO₃ composite fibers were fabricated by electrospinning. In order to investigate the effects of surface modification of β-CaSiO₃ on composite fibers, β-CaSiO₃ nanowires were surface esterified using dodecyl alcohol. SEM micrographs showed that composite materials with modified β-CaSiO₃ have homogeneous fibrous structures similar as that of pure PBSU fibers, while the fibers containing unmodified β-CaSiO₃ were inhomogeneous and much larger in diameter, and also junctions where β-CaSiO₃ agglomerated could be found. Mechanical testing showed that with the addition of unmodified β-CaSiO₃ into PBSU matrix, the tensile strength of fibrous materials decreased obviously, and the decrease degree increased with increased β-CaSiO₃ content. However, the tensile stresses of composite materials after surface modification of β-CaSiO₃ turned back and increased about 40% compared to those containing unmodified β-CaSiO₃. All of these results suggested surface modification of β-CaSiO₃ was an effective approach to obtain composite fibrous materials with better morphologies and enhanced mechanical properties, and this method is supposed to be feasible in other fibrous material systems.     

Effect of surface oxidation treatment on the tribological performance of carbon fiber reinforced polyimide composites

The effect of ozone surface treatment of carbon fibers (CF) on the tensile strength and tribological properties of carbon fiber reinforced polyimide (CF/PI) composite was investigated. Experimental results revealed that the tensile strength of ozone and air oxidation treated CF reinforced PI composite was improved compared with that of untreated composite. Compared with the untreated and air‐oxidated CF/PI composite, the ozone treated composite had the lowest friction coefficient and specific wear rate under given applied load and reciprocating sliding frequency. Ozone treatment effectively improved the interfacial adhesion between CF and PI. The strong interfacial adhesion of the composite made CF not easy to detach from the PI matrix, and prevented the rubbing‐off of PI, accordingly improved the friction and wear properties of the composite.
