AbstractA series of long glass fiber (LGF)-reinforced epoxy resin (ER), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) elastomers, and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composites were prepared by using self-designed impregnation device. Dynamic mechanical properties of the LGF/ER/TPU/PMMA composites have been investigated by using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMA). The results indicated that the content of PMMA and TPU and scanning frequency had important influence on dynamic mechanical properties and glass transition of the LGF/ER/TPU/PMMA composites. In addition, the Arrhenius relationship has been used to calculate the activation energy of α-transition of the LGF/ER/TPU/PMMA composites. The thermal properties of the LGF/ER/TPU/PMMA composites were studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Morphology and mechanical properties of the composites are investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), a universal testing machine, and a ZBC-4 Impact Pendulum.

AbstractA series of long glass fiber-reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) elastomers and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) copolymer (LGF/TPU/ABS) composites were prepared using self-designed impregnation device. Poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) was employed to increase the compatibility between glass fiber and matrix resin and thus obtain the excellent properties of composites. The dynamic mechanical properties of the composites have been investigated using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. The results indicated that the storage modulus of the composites gradually increases and then decreases with increasing compatibilizer content. In addition, the low temperature peak of the composites shifts to higher temperature with increasing compatibilizer content. The thermal properties of the composites were studied by thermogravimetric analyzer. In addition, the morphology and mechanical properties of the composites are investigated by scanning electron microscopy, a universal testing machine, and a ZBC-4 Impact Pendulum.
