AbstractDynamic-mechanical measurements were used to study the properties of the interphase in glass fibre reinforced epoxy resins. The immobilisation of the polymer chains in the interphase is determined by the curing system, the annealing process, and the surface treatment of the glass fibres.

In this work, the static and dynamic mechanical properties, crystallization behaviours, and morphology of long glass-fibre–reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites with thermo-oxidative ageing time from 0 day to 50 days at 120°C were investigated and discussed. The static mechanical properties showed a global decrease in tensile, bending and impact strengths with increasing ageing time. From the results obtained by scanning electronic microscopic observations, interface debonding clearly occurred between the glass fibre and PP matrix in the aged samples. The crystallinity ( Xc) of the composites was analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry; annealing process played the leading role in the early period of ageing, while as ageing progressed, the degradation of PP matrix dominated the ageing process and Xc decreased. The dynamic mechanical analysis results indicated that the storage modulus and glass transition temperature of the composites also decreased with prolonging ageing time. Then, the apparent activation energy ( E) of glass transition was calculated by the Arrhenius equation with different scanning frequencies. A higher value of E was obtained for the samples in the later ageing period, which means a higher energy barrier for glass transition.

This study was carried out to assess the feasibility of glass fibres of various lengths (12 mm, 18 mm, 24 mm and 30 mm) as reinforcement on the mechanical performance of bark particleboards intended for thermal insulation. To evaluate their efficiency, the results of fibre reinforced particleboards at mass of 3wt% concentration were compared with plain bark based boards. Thermal, physical and mechanical properties (modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity and internal bond) were determined on unreinforced and reinforced specimens. In general, the results of the thermal conductivity measurements indicated that the bark panels could potentially be used as feedstock for thermal insulation panels. However, the glass fibres lengths had a direct adverse effect on the mechanical behaviour of the bark particleboard, instead of providing synergistic reinforcement. Furthermore, the static bending properties, mainly the modulus of rupture, gradually decreased with increasing lengths of glass fibre.
