Evaluation of fracture toughness of short fiber reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs) becomes important for the application as structural materials. Therefore, in this study static and dynamic fracture toughness of MMCs manufactured by squeeze casting process were investigated. A number of MMCs have been tested with various matrix alloys, volume fractions, and specifically types of reinforcements. It was found that static and dynamic fracture toughness of metal matrix composites was remarkably decreased by the addition of ceramic reinforcements. Dynamic fracture toughness slightly decreased compared with static fracture toughness because of the effect of dynamic velocity under impact loading. The toughness of ceramic reinforced MMCs is controlled by a complexity interaction between the matrix alloy and reinforcement. Important properties which influence toughness include the type of reinforcement (its physical form, size), volume fraction and combination of reinforcement, and the matrix alloy. And notch fracture toughness of MMCs for simple evaluation was also discussed.

As a core build-up material, dual-cured (DC) resin-based composites are becoming popular. The aim of this research was to investigate specific physical and handling properties of new experimental short-fiber-reinforced DC resin composites (SFRCs) in comparison to different commercial, conventional DC materials (e.g., Gradia Core, Rebilda DC, LuxaCore Z, and Visalys® CemCore). Degree of monomer conversion (DC%) was determined by FTIR-spectrometry using either self- or light-curing mode. The flexural strength, modulus, and fracture toughness were calculated through a three-point bending setup. Viscosity was analyzed at room (22 °C) and mouth (35 °C) temperatures with a rotating disk rheometer. The surface microstructure of each resin composite was examined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data were statistically analyzed with analysis of variance ANOVA (p = 0.05). The curing mode showed significant (p < 0.05) effect on the DC% and flexural properties of tested DC resin composites and differences were material dependent. SFRC exhibited the highest fracture toughness (2.3 MPa m1/2) values and LuxaCore showed the lowest values (1 MPa m1/2) among the tested materials (p < 0.05). After light curing, Gradia Core and SFRCs showed the highest flexural properties (p < 0.05), while the other resin composites had comparable values. The novel DC short-fiber-reinforced core build-up resin composite demonstrated super fracture toughness compared to the tested DC conventional resin composites.

Abstract VERTON OF-700-10 is a long glass fiber reinforced polyphenylene sulfide. It has been engineered to maximize the benefits of long fiber reinforcement while maintaining the ease of processing and good fiber despersion associated with conventional short fiber reinforced compounds. Impregnation of the fibers with the resin is by pultrusion rather than the usual compounding extruder. This enables a high level of impregnation to be achieved without damaging the fibers. This datasheet provides information on tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on casting. Filing Code: Cp-9. Producer or source: ICI Advanced Materials.
