Design Function

Composite systems are materials that due to its characteristics and its achievement of synergistic effects are increasingly applied. The most frequent composites are composites mainly with long fibers. In the interaction with the polymer matrix can be used inorganic fibers, but recently there is a substitution of these fibers with organic fibers. The main advantage of using organic fibers is their low cost, low weight, and availability. The benefits can also cite environmental aspects. The disadvantage is the very nature of the organic material. The paper describes a long-fiber composite system prepared by vacuum infusion and compares the tensile strength of composites with randomly oriented and arranged sisal fibers, depending on the flow direction of the resin during vacuum infusion. Composite systems were cut from boards made by vacuum infusion using a water jet. These boards are widely used by industries such as automotive or building to where the natural fibers can create design function. The use of natural fibers in this process is inexpensive and such materials can be referenced as biocomposites, saving the primary raw material. The paper describes the tensile strength and hardness. Electron microscopy was used to evaluate fracture surfaces and the morphology of the fibers.

Butadiene Styrene

The electrospun natural rubber (NR) with two different components namely: acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and carbon black (CB) have been extensively studied. The main objective was to investigate the mechanical properties and permeability dependency of NR/ABS and NR/CB as well as its contents. NR/CB was compounded by torque rheometer (Brabender) while ABS was dissolved with NR using tetrahydrofuran (THF) as its solvent. Sulfur was used as the vulcanizing agent in both systems. Mechanical properties were evaluated by universal testing machine and permeability was observed by water vapour permeability. The optimum conditions for electrospun NR/ABS and NR/CB non-woven mats were as follows: flow rate 30 ml/h, voltage 15 kV, collector distance 20 cm and collected on rotating circular plate at 1000 rpm. The results of mechanical properties showed that for electrospun NR/CB fiber membranes, the higher the CB loading it had, the lower its tensile strength and elongation it would be. Whilst electrospun NR/ABS fiber mats, the elongation behavior was affected by the ABS loading but not the tensile strength. For permeability, NR/CB was shown to possess relatively higher permeability than the NR/ABS non-woven mats.

Hygrothermal Behaviour

Abstract External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) are widely used in the northern hemisphere in retrofitted and new external walls. The outer layer of ETICS is usually a thin layer of plaster. The effects of temperature and humidity on the hygrothermal behaviour and mechanical properties of thin plasters have been quantified by conducting several experiments to determine the possibility of crack formation. Combinations of plasters using four types of binders are tested: mineral, polymer, silicate and silicone. Plasters are tested as four systems consisting of a base coat, a glass-fibre reinforcement mesh and a finishing coat. Sorption curves of the plaster systems are determined to gather data for numerical simulations. The coefficients of thermal and hygroscopic expansion are determined. The modulus of elasticity and tensile strength of four different plasters are measured to allow the calculation of crack formation in ETICS and suggest the distances between the deformation joints. The method demonstrated in this paper makes it possible to calculate the crack formation caused by the temperature and moisture shrinkage in the thin exterior plaster of ETICS.

Alpha Beta

The mechanical properties of three titanium alloys (Ti-7Mo-3Al, Ti-7Mo- 3Cu and Ti-7Mo-3Ta) were evaluated as function of: 1) Solutionizing in the beta field and aging, 2) Thermal Mechanical Processing in the beta field and aging, 3) Solutionizing in the alpha + beta field and aging. The samples were isothermally aged in the temperature range 300° to 700*C for 4 to 24 hours, followed by a water quench. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray method were used to identify the phase formed. All three alloys solutionized at 1050°C (beta field) transformed to martensitic alpha (alpha prime) upon being water quenched. Despite this heavily strained alpha prime, which is characterized by microtwins the tensile strength of the as-quenched alloys is relatively low and the elongation is as high as 30%.

Metastable Austenitic Stainless Steel

Stainless steels have widespread applications due to their good corrosion resistance, but for certain types of large naval constructions, other requirements are imposed such as high strength and toughness , and modified magnetic characteristics.The magnetic characteristics of a 302 type metastable austenitic stainless steel has been assessed after various cold rolling treatments designed to increase strength by strain inducement of martensite. A grade 817M40 low alloy medium carbon steel was used as a reference material.The metastable austenitic stainless steel after solution treatment possesses a fully austenitic microstructure. However its tensile strength , in the solution treated condition , is low.Cold rolling results in the strain induced transformation to α’- martensite in austenitic matrix and enhances the tensile strength. However , α’-martensite is ferromagnetic , and its introduction to an otherwise fully paramagnetic matrix alters the magnetic response of the material. An example of the mixed martensitic-retained austenitic microstructure obtained after the cold rolling experiment is provided in the SEM micrograph of Figure 1.

Rigid Rod

Rigid-rod polymers such as PBO, poly(paraphenylene benzobisoxazole), Figure 1a, are now in commercial development for use as high-performance fibers and for reinforcement at the molecular level in molecular composites. Spinning of liquid crystalline polyphosphoric acid solutions of PBO, followed by washing, drying, and tension heat treatment produces fibers which have the following properties: density of 1.59 g/cm3; tensile strength of 820 kpsi; tensile modulus of 52 Mpsi; compressive strength of 50 kpsi; they are electrically insulating; they do not absorb moisture; and they are insensitive to radiation, including ultraviolet. Since the chain modulus of PBO is estimated to be 730 GPa, the high stiffness also affords the opportunity to reinforce a flexible coil polymer at the molecular level, in analogy to a chopped fiber reinforced composite. The objectives of the molecular composite concept are to eliminate the thermal expansion coefficient mismatch between the fiber and the matrix, as occurs in conventional composites, to eliminate the interface between the fiber and the matrix, and, hopefully, to obtain synergistic effects from the exceptional stiffness of the rigid-rod molecule. These expectations have been confirmed in the case of blending rigid-rod PBZT, poly(paraphenylene benzobisthiazole), Figure 1b, with stiff-chain ABPBI, poly 2,5(6) benzimidazole, Fig. 1c A film with 30% PBZT/70% ABPBI had tensile strength 190 kpsi and tensile modulus of 13 Mpsi when solution spun from a 3% methane sulfonic acid solution into a film. The modulus, as predicted by rule of mixtures, for a film with this composition and with planar isotropic orientation, should be 16 Mpsi. The experimental value is 80% of the theoretical value indicating that the concept of a molecular composite is valid.

Glycerin residue is waste oleochemical industry that still contain glycerin. To produce quality and maximum quantity of glycerin, then research the effect of pH acidification using phosphoric acid. Glycerin analysis includes the analysis of pH, Fatty Acid and Ester (FAE), and analysis of the levels of glycerin. The maximum yield obtained at pH acidification 2 is grading 91,60% glycerin and Fatty Acid and Ester (FAE) 3,63 meq/100 g. Glycerin obtained is used as a plasticizer in the manufacture of bioplastics. Manufacture of bioplastics using the method of pouring a solution with varying concentrations of starch banana weevil (5% w/v and 7% w/v), variations of the addition of glycerin (1 ml, 3 ml, 5 ml and 7 ml), and a variety of gelatinization temperature (60°C, 70°C, and 80°C). Analysis of bioplastics include FTIR testing, tensile strength that is supported by SEM analysis. The results obtained in the analysis of FTIR does not form a new cluster on bioplastics starch banana weevil, but only a shift in the recharge area only, it is due to the addition of O-H groups originating from water molecules that enter the polysaccharide through a mechanism gelatinitation that generates interaction hydrogen bonding strengthened. The maximum tensile strength of bioplastics produced at a concentration of starch 7% w/v, 1 ml glycerine and gelatinization temperature of 80°C is 3,430 MPa. While the tensile strength bioplastic decreased with increasing glycerin which can be shown from the results of SEM where there is a crack, indentations and lumps of starch insoluble.

Aim: The aimed study was to evaluate the influence of silver nitrate on surfacehardness and tensile strength of acrylic resins.Materials and methods: A total of 60 specimens were made from heat polymerizingresins. Two mechanical tests were utilized (surface hardness and tensile strength)and 4 experimental groups according to the concentration of silver nitrate used.The specimens without the use of silver nitrate were considered as control. Fortensile strength, all specimens were subjected to force till fracture. For surfacehardness, the specimens were tested via a durometer hardness tester. Allspecimens data were analyzed via ANOVA and Tukey tests.Results: The addition of silver nitrate to acrylic resins reduced significantly thetensile strength. Statistically, highly significant differences were found among allgroups (P≤0.001). Also, the difference between control and experimental groupswas highly significant (P≤0.001). For surface hardness, the silver nitrate improvedthe surface hardness of acrylics. Highly significant differences were statisticallyobserved between control and 900 ppm group (P≤0.001); and among all groups(P≤0.001)with exception that no significant differences between control and150ppm; and between 150ppm and 900ppm groups(P>0.05).Conclusion: The addition of silver nitrate to acrylics reduced significantly the tensilestrength and improved slightly the surface hardness.
