Perkembangan nanokomposit berasaskan polimer dan pengisi bersaiz nano telah menjadi pendekatan yang menarik untuk mencapai sifat komposit yang baik. Kesan nano–termendak kalsium karbonat (NPCC) terhadap sifat mekanikal matrik berlainan kemuluran telah dikaji. Poli(vinil klorida) tanpa pemplastik (PVC–U) dan PVC–U/akrilik telah digunakan sebagai matrik pada kajian ini. Untuk menghasilkan komposit, resin PVC, additif, akrilik dan NPCC pada mulanya diadun-kering menggunakan pencampur berkelajuan–tinggi berskala makmal sebelum diadun menjadi kepingan dengan menggunakan pengadun dua pengguling. Spesimen–spesimen ujian kemudiannya ditekan panas, selepas itu sifat mekanikal komposit dan morfologi permukaan patah komposit ditentukan. Modulus lenturan dan modulus Young meningkat dengan penambahan NPCC, tetapi telah menurunkan kekuatan regangan. NPCC telah menunjukkan kesan pengukuhan yang baik pada matrik PVC–U/ akrilik dan kesan kekakuan yang baik pada matrik PVC–U. Kekuatan lenturan kedua–dua komposit tidak dipengaruhi dengan penambahan NPCC. Kekuatan hentaman kedua–dua komposit telah mencapai nilai maksimum apabila 15 phr NPCC ditambah. Kata kunci: Poli(vinil klorida), nano–termendak kalsium karbonat, sifat–sifat mekanikal, akrilik Developing nanocomposites based upon polymers and nano–sized fillers has been an attractive approach to achieving good properties. Effects of nano–precipitated calcium carbonate (NPCC) on the mechanical properties of different ductile matrices were investigated. Unplasticised Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC–U) and PVC–U/acrylic were used as the matrix in this study. To produce the composites, PVC resins, additives, acrylic and NPCC were first dry–blended using a laboratory high–speed mixer before being milled into sheets on a two–roll mill. Test specimens were then hot pressed, after that the mechanical properties and morphology of fracture surface of composites were determined. The flexural modulus and Young modulus of both the composites were enhanced after the addition of NPCC, but the tensile strength was decreased. The NPCC showed good toughening effect and stiffening effect on PVC–U/acrylic and PVC–U matrix, respectively. The flexural strength of both the composites was not significantly affected by the addition of NPCC. The impact strength of both the composites reached the maximum value when 15 phr NPCC was incorporated.

Abstract The influence of talc and poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-grafted (g)-talc on the mechanical properties of poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) was investigated. The graft copolymerization was carried out under nitrogen atmosphere, using the free radical initiation technique. The blend formulations were first dry blended using a mixer before being milled into sheets on a two-roll mill at 165°C, and then hot pressed into composites at 190°C. The flexural modulus of both composites increased with increasing filler content from 0 to 20 part per hundred resin (phr), however the increment of grafted (57.7%) was higher than ungrafted composites (48.5%). A similar trend has also been observed for thermal stability. The impact strength of grafted was increased by 45.82%, whereas 18.96% in reduction was observed for the ungrafted composites. The decrement of flexural strength by 16.6% and 21.1% of grafted and ungrafted, respectively, has also shown the improvement in mechanical properties of grafted composites.

The Impact

Microstructure and mechanical properties of W9Mo3Cr4V high speed steel fabricated by spray deposition have been studied. Spray deposited W9Mo3Cr4V high speed steel has a typical equiaxed structure which is finer and more homogeneous with a grain size of 20-30 micrometer compared with conventional casted counterparts. There are pores in the matrix of the deposited steel, which involve gas porosity, filling porosity and solidification shrinkage. As-deposited high speed steel is mainly composed of martensite, austenite and carbides which comprise MC carbide and M6C carbide. Mechanical properties show that the hardness and bending strength of the as-deposited steel are higher than that of the conventionally casted ones. However, impact toughness of the high speed steel is lower than that of the conventionally casted steel, which can be attributed to the existence of porosities and M6C carbides which reduce the impact toughness of high speed steels.

Properties Of Composites

Mechanical properties, abrasion properties, thermal stabilities, and dynamic mechanical properties of poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC)/diatomite composites with different diatomite content prepared by melting blending were investigated. The results indicated that mechanical properties of composites have different performance due to diatomite participation, and the flexural modulus was improved. With an increase in diatomite, the abrasion resistance and thermal stability of composites were improved. Furthermore, the E' and Tg of composites could be enhanced effectively with diatomite participation. The optimum combined properties of PVC/diatomite composite were obtained with the adding of 40 phr diatomite.

Abstract The present study describes the preparation of aligned unidirectional bagasse fiber-reinforced vinyl ester (BFRVE) composites and their mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural, shear and impact strength. Composites were prepared by a hand lay-up technique developed in our laboratory with the help of a hot press. Mechanical properties were obtained for different fiber contents by varying the number of layers. The obtained tensile property values were compared with the theoretical results. The results show that the tensile strength increased linearly up to 44 wt% and then dropped. However, the tensile modulus increased linearly from 17 wt% to 60 wt%. In the case of flexural properties, the flexural strength increased up to 53 wt% and started to decrease. However, the flexural modulus also increased linearly up to 60 wt%. The impact strength values were higher than the matrix materials for all the specimens. The short beam shear strength values were also increased up to 53 wt% and then dropped. The modified Bowyer and Bader (MBB) model followed by the Hirsch model shows a very good agreement with experimental results in both tensile strength and modulus.
