Mechanical properties of hybrid glass/kenaf fibre-reinforced epoxy composite with matrix modification using liquid epoxidised natural rubber
(2015-04-27)
The hybridisation of natural fibre with glass fibre provides a method to improve the mechanical properties instead of using the natural fibres alone. This research is focused on the hybridisation of glass/kenaf fibre with the addition of liquid epoxidised natural rubber to enhance the desired mechanical properties of the composite by reducing the synthetic fibre usage and encourage the natural fibre consumption. Liquid epoxidised natural rubber was added to the epoxy matrix in order to improve its mechanical properties ...

Parameter identification for constitutive models of innovative textile composite materials using digital image correlation
(2019-11-18)
This contribution focuses on an innovative composite material consisting of textile layers made from continuous wooden fibers embedded in a thermoplastic matrix. A finite element simulation of potential use‐cases is planned to support the development process and to study the suitability of the material in an architectural context. The simulation is based on a constitutive model assuming homogenous orthotropic elastic behavior and will be expanded to include multiscale modeling in future research. The material parameters ...

A Comparison Study of Liquid Natural Rubber (LNR) and Liquid Epoxidized Natural Rubber (LENR) as the Toughening Agent for Epoxy
(2013)
Rubber-toughened epoxy resins were prepared using the mechanical stirring method and molded into samples by compression molding. The aim of this study is to modify the brittleness of the epoxy matrix by adding discrete rubbery phases to improve the toughness properties. Liquid natural rubber (LNR) and liquid epoxidized natural rubber (LENR) were used as toughening agents in the epoxy resin to compare the properties of the modified networks. The mechanical and thermal properties have been studied to observe the effect ...

Thermo-mechanische Gradierung eigenverstärkter Polypropylen-Composite
(kassel university press, 2015)
Eigenverstärkte Polypropylen-Composite weisen ein enormes Leichtbaupotential und überdurchschnittliche mechanische Grundeigenschaften auf. Das Eigenschaftsspektrum lässt sich auf die makromolekulare Orientierung oder sog. Eigenverstärkung der eingesetzten textilen Faser- und Bändchenhalbzeuge zurückführen, welche die Ausgangsbasis der Schichtverbunde bilden. Über eine gezielte Prozessführung kann die Eigenverstärkung bis ins heißkompaktierte Bauteil hinein kontrolliert und erhalten werden, wobei sich das Eigenschaftsspektrum ...

Morphology-property-relationship of thermo-mechanically graded self-reinforced polypropylene composites
(2015-02-17)
In this paper the relationship between different composite morphologies and their mechanical properties is to be investigated. By manufacturing two different tape-based polypropylene composites in a compression moulding process, four varying degrees of compaction will be generated. The morphological structure is analyzed using confocal laser light microscopy and wet chemically etched specimen cross-sections. The etching process removes the amorphous phase in the polymer, making the macromolecular orientations and ...

Assessment of the changeability of plastics processing systems
(Society of Plastics Engineers, 2014)
Changeable production systems are still being developed, especially in the field of plastics processing. Here, the assessment of the changeability is a decisive factor. This investigation deals with the assessment of the changeability of a modular pilot plant, and derives approaches for the further development of an evaluation system, as well as potential means to increase the changeability.

The Adhesion of LSR Thermoplastic Composites after Storage Tests
(Society of Plastics Engineers, 2017)
The adhesion properties of liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and different thermoplastics (PC, PA, and PP) were examined in this investigation. In order to guarantee the adhesion of both components, an activation (silicatization) of the TP surface, which is a conventional method, was carried out. Furthermore, the long-term stability of the silicatization (storage of the activated surfaces) as well as the wetting behavior were investigated. Moreover, microscopic investigations were performed to analyze the activated ...

Characterization of polyamide 6.10 composites incorporated with microcrystalline cellulose fiber: Effects of fiber loading and impact modifier
(2018-08-14)
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) fiber‐reinforced polyamide 6.10 (PA) composites were prepared in the presence of an impact modifier (IM), exxelor VA1803 (VA), by melt compounding process. Fiber loading was considered from 20 to 30 wt.%, whereas IM was varied from 2.0 to 5.0 wt.%. Composites were characterized by tensile test, impact test, dynamic thermal mechanical analysis (DTMA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X‐ray diffraction (XRD). Composites’ fractured surfaces ...

Flexible Foams made of Liquid Silicone Rubber and expandable Microspheres
(2019-10-02)
In this study, the possibility of foaming liquid silicone rubber (LSR) was investigated. The foam was produced by injection molding with two different thermoplastic, expandable microspheres. Different properties were tested using the S2-tensile bar, e.g. density, tensile strength, specific tensile strength, elongation at break, stress at 100 % strain and the hardness. It was found that the two types of microspheres used have similar effects on density, specific tensile strength and elongation at break, but differ in ...
