High Performance Resin

To prepare novel polyimides with enhanced thermal stability and low melt viscosity, a novel three-branched phenylethynyl-terminated imide oligomer was introduced. The oligomer can be used to prepare high performance resin-based composite material via resin transfer molding (RTM) due to its low melt viscosity (<2Pa.s) between 250°C and 320°C. The cured resin exhibits excellent thermal stability and higher glass transition temperature than PETI series as a result of the introduction of star-branched units. In this research, the rheological properties of the oligomer were measured and numerically fit with the dual Arrhenius model to predict the progression of the viscosity during cure. The calculated kinetic activation energies for gelation with two different Arrhenius equations, 120.8kJ/mol and 164kJ/mol, respectively,had some differences. The numerical results were compared with the experimental measurements, and it was found that the model predicts the experimental observations quite well.

Processing Techniques

A novel low-melting, low-viscosity, one-part bismaleimide resin based on m-xylylene bismaleimide has been developed and examined for application in vacuum-assisted resin infusion. The resin is a fully formulated system comprising a ternary eutectic BMI mixture blended with bis-( o-propenylphenoxy)benzophenone and 2,2'-bis(3-allyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propane as co-monomers. The resin offers enhanced properties for melt processing techniques. The formulation strategy and chemistry is presented and discussed in detail. For resin infusion and/or resin transfer molding technologies, the melt processing temperature of the resin is in the range of 90–110℃. Processing data of the uncured and mechanical properties of cured neat resin are provided. The resin shows a Tgof 285℃ when post-cured at 250℃ for 6 h. Finally, a 400 × 500 mm2carbon fabric laminate was successfully molded for demonstration by a VARI process. The microscopic study reveals no voids and no laminate surface imperfections. The VARI processing details are presented and discussed.

The Matrix

The production and consumption of polymer composites has grown continuously through recent decades and has topped 10 Mt/year. Until very recently, polymer composites almost exclusively had non-recyclable thermoset matrices. The growing amount of plastic, however, inevitably raises the issue of recycling and reuse. Therefore, recyclability has become of paramount importance in the composites industry. As a result, thermoplastics are coming to the forefront. Despite all their advantages, thermoplastics are difficult to use as the matrix of high-performance composites because their high viscosity complicates the impregnation process. A solution could be reactive thermoplastics, such as PA-6, which is synthesized from the ε-caprolactam (ε-CL) monomer via anionic ring opening polymerization (AROP). One of the fastest techniques to process PA-6 into advanced composites is thermoplastic resin transfer molding (T-RTM). Although nowadays T-RTM is close to commercial application, its optimization and control need further research and development, mainly assisted by modeling. This review summarizes recent progress in the modeling of the different aspects of the AROP of ε-CL. It covers the mathematical modeling of reaction kinetics, pressure-volume-temperature behavior, as well as simulation tools and approaches. Based on the research results so far, this review presents the current trends and could even plot the course for future research.

Transfer Molding

In the present work it is shown that the resin transfer molding (RTM) is a beneficial technique to manufacture natural fibers into high-performance natural fiber composites. At first, three different types of weaves were produced by using low-twist flax yarns and standard-twisted flax yarns. Laminates based on the weaves and a petrochemical derived epoxy thermoset were fabricated by RTM process. For each laminate different numbers of plies (4, 5, 6, and 7) were used to achieve a broad range of vf (from 32 % up to 55 %) which are having a pore volume fraction, vp, as low as possible (min. 0.7 % - max. 2.7 %). For the laminates, flexural properties in warp and weft direction were determined (ISO 14125) and the effect of respective yarn type on flexural properties was investigated. The best properties were achieved for the laminate based on weave2 with vf = 55 % (strength=303 MPa, modulus=19.3 GPa). When laminates were tested again after half of the year the modulus and strength were reduced, but the strainincreased. The laminates were immersed into a water bath (ASTM D570) to test the influence of vf and vp on the water absorption behavior. The maximum water uptake (4-7 wt.-%) and the maximum thickness swelling (3-12 %) were observed for the samples with higher vf. Laminates based on weave1 were immersed again into the water bath to investigate the extent of deterioration of flexural properties with respect to water absorption at various time intervals. The laminates were tested immediately after removing from the water bath and after re-drying.

AbstractInfiltration of preforms used to manufacture high-performance, advanced polymer composites can lead to void formation due to inhomogeneities within the preforms. Void formation occurs at three distinct length scales: the fiber, tow and part scales. Flow visualization experiments were used to characterize void formation at the tow and fiber scales. Effects of tow-scale inhomogeneities were studied by varying the warp angle of a woven fabric. Effects of fiber-scale inhomogeneities were studied using scale models of typical tows. The experiments indicate that minimization of void content requires a trade-off between fiberscale and tow-scale void formation.
