High Consistency Silicone Rubber Foams
(2024-04-23)
Silicone elastomers are high-performance plastics. In the extrusion process, only high-consistency silicone rubbers were used. In order to reduce the cost and weight, silicone rubbers can be foamed during processing. In this study, high-consistency silicone rubber is processed with different physical and chemical blowing agents. The resulting reaction kinetics, as well as the mechanical and morphological properties, had been investigated and compared with each other. This showed that the chemical blowing agent ...

Modification of self-reinforced composites (SRCs) via film stacking process
(2022-02-25)
This work presents the mechanical behavior of self-reinforced composites (SRCs) manufactured and modified via film stacking. For modification, interleaved films made of polypropylene (PP), a thermoplastic elastomer and a polyolefin engage were combined in different ways to induce the elastic modifier into the matrix material. The content of modifier was also varied in two ways. First, the films were produced out of a single material and second out of a compound. So, the same content of modifier was implemented in two ...

Investigation of the adhesive strength in a combined compaction and back-injection process to produce back-injected self-reinforced composites (SRCs)
(2022-03-08)
This publication investigates the adhesion between an injection molded component and a self-reinforced composite (SRC) produced in a combined compaction and back-injection process to produce back-injected self-reinforced composites. To study the influence of the process, the parameters barrel temperature, time of injection, and tool temperature were varied. In addition, samples were taken at different positions along the flow path. In light of the orthotropic material behavior of SRCs, investigations were conducted ...

Climatic Ageing of Components of Polymer Based Electrochromic Devices
(2013-09-09)
Combining a shading function and a polycarbonate window displays an attractive alternative to the currently employed glass roof in vehicles. However, the ageing of such a device must be investigated before any application. Therefore, our investigations focus on the ageing of the components of a polycarbonate based electrochromic device. The optical, electrical, mechanical and electrochemical properties of the ion storage layer as well as the substrate will be assessed after storage in a climate with a high humidity ...

Holzdesign trifft Kunststofftechnik
(2022)
Werkstoffverbunde aus Holzgeweben in einer thermoplastischen Matrix verbinden die Idee des textilen Holzbaus mit der Faserverbundtechnologie. In einem Projekt werden Fassadenelemente aus solchen Wood Textile Composites hergestellt. Dabei spielt neben den mechanischen Anforderungen auch die gestalterische Seite und die Akzeptanz der zukünftigen Nutzer eine wichtige Rolle.

Characterization of Anisotropic Properties of Hot Compacted Self-Reinforced Composites (SRCs) via Thermal Diffusivity Measurement
(2019-11-01)
The mechanical properties of self-reinforced composites (SRCs) produced in a hot compaction process significantly depend on the process parameters. Only a little deviation of the process temperature or pressure causes the component to act differently under mechanical load. This is a chance and a challenge at the same time, since this process is difficult to handle but by properly controlling the process parameters, the mechanical properties can be adjusted, even locally for one component. In this research SRC are ...

Joining of Contact Pins and Conductive Compounds via Injection Molding – Influence of the Flow Situation on the Electrical Contact Resistance
(2020-04-09)
While a lot of research can be found in the field of bulk resistance of carbon filled polymers, comparatively few papers focus on contact resistance between compound and metal contacts. Due to that small number of researches that deal with contact resistances, studies of the influence of injection molding conditions and parameters on the contact resistance are also very rare. In contradiction to that, these influences on bulk resistance have been studied. The objective of this work was to investigate the electrical ...

A Closer Look at the Bonding Capacity of Thick Metal-Plastic Hybrids
(2019-03-01)
Metal-plastic hybrids have a lot of advantages compared to purely metal or purely plastic parts. A good design for metal-plastic hybrids can help to save weight, for example in automotive applications. Therefore, it is important to understand the joining mechanisms between both materials. Aluminum AlSi9Cu3(Fe) and polyamide 6.6 with 35 % glass fibers were used as joining partners. The materials were joined by enclosing the metal part at least partially with plastic right inside the injection molding tool. Afterwards, ...

UV Pre-Treatment for Polycarbonate for Bonding LSR in a Multi-Component Injection Molding Process
(2019-03-01)
In this study, the influence of UVC radiation and the influence of ozone on the surface energy of specimens made of polycarbonate were investigated. In an additional step, the peeling resistance of silicone flaps, which were overmolded, onto pre-treated PC plates of multicomponent specimens were analyzed. For this purpose, the samples were exposed to UVC radiation for different lengths of time, ranging from 5 s to 3 600 s. To further evaluate the influence of the ozone created by the UVC in the presence of oxygen, ...

Characterization of wood-based multi-material systems under dynamic impact stress
(2018)
Due to its naturally grown properties, wood has played a rather subordinate role as a material for technical applications up to now. In this paper, multi-material systems based on veneers of beech (Fagus sylvatica) with different reinforcing variants were investigated. In addition to the influence of different adhesive systems (urea formaldehyde and polyurethane), the effect of reinforcing by aramid fiber fabric and stainless steel foil in different climates was examined. At the center of the investigations were ...
