Resorcinol-based phthalonitrile (R-CN)/nano-aluminum oxide (Al2O3) nanocomposites were prepared via a two-step approach. Firstly, Al2O3 was functionalized with nitrile groups on the surface of Al2O3 nanoparticles, which was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of nano-Al2O3 particles on thermomechanical and flexural properties has been evaluated for different weight ratios ranging between 0% and 5%. Compared with pure nano-Al2O3, nitrile-functionalized Al2O3 (CN-Al2O3) particles showed a more significant enhancement effect on the properties of R-CN resin. The storage modulus of nanocomposite with 5 wt% CN-Al2O3 reaches 2679 MPa at 25°C, which is much higher than that of the pure R-CN resin. For 3 wt% CN-Al2O3-reinforced R-CN composites, it showed an increase of 54.84% in flexural strength and 21.48% in flexural modulus. SEM was employed to explore the fracture surface of composites. Micrographs of fracture surface analysis confirmed that the toughness of R-CN resin can be improved significantly by incorporating CN-Al2O3 nanoparticles.

Based on Zwick/Roell,this paper had carried on flexural experiments of epoxy resin filled with nano-silica particles, obtaining related mechanical properties.Microstructures of nanocomposites were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in the meanwhile. The flexural experiments revealed that nano- silica particles strengthened epoxy resin very well, and flexural modulus of modified matrices rised due to rigid silica particles, compared with pure epoxy matrices. Flexural strengths of epoxies modified by silica nanoparticles improved significantly.

Abstract The fracture surfaces of a NBR vulcanizate after different test conditions have been studied by scanning electron microscopy. It has been shown that failure surfaces manifest typical characteristics dependent on the nature of the test. Tensile fracture surface shows occurrence of two different tear rates in the case of a filled NBR vulcanizate, while tear fracture is characterized by a few long flow lines. De Mattia flexing leads to layering of polymer fibers. Heat buildup and abrasion tests generate a ribbed structure on the surface.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the microstructure of a ceramic based on yttria stabilized zirconia (Y-TZP) in blasting with aluminum oxide and its effect on the sintering. 25 pre-sintered Y-TZP blocks were obtained. Ten samples were blasted with alumina, and then all samples were sintered and divided into the groups: Control-no treatment; alumina G1-blasted with alumina and sintered; alumina and Rocatec G1-blasted, sintered, and Rocatec; alumina G2-sintered, alumina blasting; alumina and Rocatec G2-sintering, alumina blasting, and Rocatec. The samples were evaluated by a scanning electron microscopy. The qualitative analysis showed that the treated samples had an increase in the surface texture and that group 1– alumina and Rocatec– presented the silica incorporation to be regular and homogeneous. It was concluded that the treatment of pre-sintered surfaces is a good alternative in the bonding strength between the Y-TZP and the resin cements.

The nanocomposites of polypropylene (PP)/graphene were prepared by melt blending. The effects of the dosage of graphene on the flow and mechanical properties of the nanocomposites were investigated. The morphologies of fracture surfaces were characterized through scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The graphene simultaneous enhanced tensile and impact properties of nanocomposites. A 3.22% increase in tensile strength, 39.8% increase in elongation at break, and 26.7% increase in impact strength are achieved by addition of only 1 wt.% of graphene loading. The morphological behavior indicates the fracture surface of PP/graphene is more rough than that of pure PP.

The melamine phosphate (MP) was synthesized from melamine and phosphate acid. Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) was added into the MP during its synthesis. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to characterize the reaction products. The composites were prepared from polypropylene (PP) and intumescent flame retardant (IFR) additives of MP and pentaerythritol (PER). The effect of Al2O3 content on the properties of the composites was investigated by the limiting oxygen index (LOI), thermogravimetry (TG) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that the LOI value of the composites could be enhanced obviously with suitable content of Al2O3. When the Al2O3 content was 6 wt% in MP, the LOI value increased to 35.5% from 31.0% for the composite without Al2O3, the amount of residual char at 600°C increased from 8.9 wt% to 13.9 wt%.
