This study produces the far-infrared emitting composites by using impact-resistant polypropylene, short glass fibers, and far-infrared masterbatches. The addition of short glass fiber and far-infrared masterbatches is then evaluated to determine their influence on the mechanical properties and far-infrared emissivity of the resulting composites. The experimental results show that with an increase in the content of short glass fibers, the tensile strength increases from 34 MPa to 56 MPa, the far-infrared emissivity increases from 0.85 to 0.93, but the impact strength decreases from 1037 J/m to 197 J/m, proving that the resulting composites have desired mechanical properties and far-infrared emission.

AbstractPolypropylene composites containing layered silicate and glass fibers are prepared by melt compounding. To investigate the influence of the processing conditions on the mechanical properties and the morphology of short glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene-layered silicate composites, the process parameters are varied while preparing the composites. The processing conditions affect the mechanical properties and the morphology. The investigations suggest that a short glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene-layered silicate composite should be compounded at a maximum barrel temperature of 200°C, a throughput of 30 kg/h at a screw speed of 500 min-1 and a screw configuration, which introduces a large amount of shear energy into the composite. These processing conditions lead to a comparatively high specific mechanical energy input of 206 Wh/kg and to the best set of mechanical properties of the investigated materials. However, the morphology of the investigated short glass fiber-reinforced nanocomposites does not show significant differences and has to be investigated further.

Short glass fiber-reinforced (SGFR) thermoplastics are used in many industries manufactured by injection molding which is the most common technique for polymeric parts production. Glass fibers are commonly used as the reinforced material with thermoplastics and injection molding. In this paper, a critical plane-based fatigue damage model is proposed for tension–tension or tension–compression fatigue life prediction of SGFR thermoplastics considering fiber orientation and mean stress effects. Temperature and frequency effects were also included by applying the proposed damage model into a general fatigue model. Model predictions are presented and discussed by comparing with the experimental data from the literature.

In the course of this study, compositions and designed structures for the polysulfone (PSF) and short glass fibers systems were calculated. Additionally, disperse-filled polymer composite materials (DFPCM) based on PSF-190 were classified in accordance with their respective structures, and the optimal amount of glass fiber (13.5–18.5 vol %) was determined. This article describes the production of DFPCM using PSF and a short glass fiber with a twin-screw extruder (Labtech Engineering Company LTD, model Scientific FIC 20-40). Furthermore, optimal mixing parameters for the creation of composites wherein the glass fiber length exceeds the critical length (lcr) were established. The critical length was calculated, and the curves for fiber size distribution of polysulfone composites were depicted, and a difference in fiber concentration between the dispenser and the extrusion head (up to ~10–15%) was found when the fiber content was at 18–25 vol %. For the first time, optimal parameters (which pertain to medium-filled dispersions) for the structure of DFPCM based on PSF and short glass fiber are able to be demonstrated.
