The present study aims to prepare resin-based permeable bricks with micron-sized pores using fine aggregate with a particle diameter of 0.08–0.6 mm and bisphenol-A epoxy resin, a polymer binder. The properties of the binder, the characteristic parameters of the aggregate, and the micro pore structure of the brick were studied in order to break through the limitations of traditional porous permeable materials. The dynamic mechanical properties of resin were analyzed by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The frequency parameter of particle size of 10 kinds of aggregate from different regions were obtained by digital image processing, and the characteristic parameter (aggregate distribution coefficient α) was obtained by modified Gaussian distribution. The microstructure of porous brick was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). The test results show: (1) the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the resin is 61 °C; (2) the parameters of aggregate particle group will affect the performance of porous permeable materials; (3) the minimum effective pore diameter of the permeable brick is 30 μm, the maximum permeable rate is 6.22 × 10 − 2   cm / s and the compressive strength is 41.08 MPa. The conclusions of this study will provide an important reference for permeable materials in the micron-scale pore range and the selection of binder and aggregate materials.

AbstractIn this study, the dynamic-mechanical properties and thermal behavior of the nanocomposites of a photocurable epoxy-acrylate resin and CuO nanohybrid were determined. In order to improve the dispersion of CuO nanoparticles and prevention of nanoparticle migration to the surface coating, the surface of commercial nanoparticles was modified by triethoxymethylsilane (TEMS) and vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) as silane-coupling agents. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) tests were then performed on CuO-filled epoxy-acrylate resins to identify the loading effect on the properties of material. The thermal stability of nanocomposites was affected slightly after incorporation of CuO nanoparticles. DMA studies revealed that filling the CuO nanoparticles into epoxy-acrylate resin can produce a significant enhancement in storage modulus, as well as a shift in the glass transition temperature. The films reinforced with the modified CuO exhibit the most significant enhancements in properties.

In order to study the dynamic mechanical properties of styrene–acrylic latex with a core/shell structure, a variety of latexes were synthesized by semi-continuous seeded emulsion polymerization based on “particle design” with the same material. The latexes were characterized by rotary viscosimeter, dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscope (TEM), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and universal testing machine. The effects of difference at the glass transition temperature (Tg) of core and shell and the introduction of the “transition layer” on the damping and mechanical properties of latex film were studied. The results indicate that as the Tg of core and shell gets closer, the better the compatibility of core and shell, from phase separation to phase continuity. Furthermore, the introduction of the “transition layer” can effectively improve the tensile strength and tan δ (max) of the latex film. The tensile strength and maximum loss factor (f = 1 Hz) of latex with the “transition layer” increased by 36.73% and 29.11% respectively compared with the latex without the “transition layer”. This work provides a reference for the design of emulsion for damping coating.

Preparation epoxy based hybrid composites were involved kaolin geopolymer filler, organo-montmorillonite at 3phr by using high speed mechanical stirrer. A mechanical behaviour of neat epoxy, epoxy/organo-montmorillonite and its hybrid composites containing 1-8phr kaolin geopolymer filler was studied upon cyclic deformation (three-point flexion mode) as the temperature is varies. The analysis was determined by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) at frequency of 1.0Hz. The results then expressed in storage modulus (E�), loss modulus (E�) and damping factor (tan d) as function of temperature from 40 oC to 130oC. Overall results indicated that E�, E�� and Tg increased considerably by incorporating optimum 1phr kaolin geopolymer in epoxy organo-montmorillonite hybrid composites.

this work is devoted to the problem of developing vibration-damping polymer materials with high damping properties in a wide temperature range. The study of the effect of modifying additives on the strength, damping, adhesive and cohesive properties of a butyl rubber composite is the aim of this work. The task is to identify the actual temperature, frequency, dynamic and mechanical characteristics of a composite material based on butyl rubber depending on the type and concentration of resins. The key methods for studying this problem is the dynamic mechanical analysis method, aimed at obtaining information about changes in the dynamic properties of polymer materials (bond strength with metal when peeling samples of composites, determining the flow resistance of samples, determining the migration of plasticizer). Due to the established experimental dependences, it was found that the addition of resins (3% by weight) in the composition based on butyl rubber leads to an increase in the damping properties of composite materials, and an increase to (4.25% by weight) leads to their decrease. It was established that the obtained filled mixtures with a high damping peak and good adhesive and strength properties are mixtures with the addition of alkyl phenol-formaldehyde resins.

To probe into the dynamic mechanical properties of expansive soil stabilized by fly ash and lime under impact load, the split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) test was carried out in this study. An analysis was made on the dynamic mechanical property and final fracture morphology of stabilized soil, and the failure mechanism was also explored from the perspective of energy dissipation. According to the test results, under the impact pressure of 0.2 MPa, plain soil and pure fly ash-stabilized soil exhibit strong plasticity. After the addition of lime, the stabilized soil shows obvious brittle failure. The dynamic compressive strength and absorbed energy of stabilized soil first increase and then decrease with the change of mix proportions. Both the dynamic compressive strength and the absorbed energy reach the peak value at the content of 20% fly ash and 5% lime (20% F + 5% L). In the process of the test, most of the incident energy is reflected back to the incident bar. The absorbed energy of stabilized soil increases linearly with the rise of dynamic compressive strength, while the absorbed energy is negatively correlated with the fractal dimension. The fractal dimension of pore morphology of the plain soil is lower than that of the fly ash-lime combined stabilized soil when it comes to the two different magnification ratios. The test results indicate that the modifier content of 20% F + 5% L can significantly improve the dynamic mechanical properties of the expansive soil.

Abstract The thermal and dynamic mechanical properties of epoxy composites filled with zirconium diboride/nano-alumina (ZrB2/Al2O3) multiphase particles were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic thermo-mechanical analysis, and numerical simulation. ZrB2/Al2O3 particles were surface organic functional modified by γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane for the improvement of their dispersity in epoxy matrix. The results indicated that the curing exotherm of epoxy resin decreased significantly due to the addition of ZrB2/Al2O3 multiphase particles. In comparison to the composites filled with unmodified particles, the modified multiphase particles made the corresponding filling composites exhibit lower curing reaction heat, lower loss modulus, and higher storage modulus. Generally speaking, the composites filled with 5 wt% modified multiphase particles presented the best thermal stability and thermo-mechanical properties due to the better filler-matrix interfacial compatibility and the uniform dispersity of modified particles. Finite element analysis also suggested that the introduction of modified ZrB2/Al2O3 multiphase particles increased the stiffness of the corresponding composites.

Tires might be the first technically significant composite out of rubber and play a vital role in the overall performance of a car. The essential functions of a tire rely to a great extent on the properties of tire cords. Polyester and nylon cords make up the majority of synthetic fibers used in tires. A new kind of polyester cord has been developed combining the performance characteristics of both polyester and nylon cords. This article examines the dynamic mechanical properties of this nylon-like polyester tire cord by adopting dynamic mechanical analysis, Instron, and DISC fatigue experiments, as well as its dynamic adhesion property using flex fatigue experiment. It demonstrated that the dynamic complex modulus of the nylon-like polyester cord was higher than that of nylon 6 cord but lower than that of standard polyester cord, which was a favorable characteristic when it came to replacing nylon 6 cord with nylon-like polyester cord in tires. Under cyclic loading, hysteresis loss of nylon 6 cord > nylon 66 cord > nylon-like polyester cord > standard polyester cord was observed. In the DISC experiment, nylon-like polyester had a similar compression resistance property to that of nylon 6 cord. At a temperature below 85°C, nylon-like polyester cord maintained roughly the same level of residual ratio of dynamic adhesion, but beyond this temperature point, nylon 6 exhibited a better performance.

NR/ENR/silica composites with different ENR amount were prepared in an open two-roll laboratory mixing mill at room temperature. Dynamic properties of ENR filled NR/silica were performed by dynamic mechanical thermal analyzer (DMA) and compression fatigue analyzer. DMA and compression fatigue test results showed that the effect of ENR on dynamic properties of NR/silica was significant. DMA displayed the tanδ of NR/ENR/silica composites at 0 °C was increased with increasing ENR amount. Compression fatigue test indicated the presence of ENR decreased the heat produced during compression test and the heat build-up is the least when NR to ENR ratio is 80 to 20. Scanning electron microscopy was used to investigate the morphology of NR/silica filled with ENR. It is found that silica self-aggregation was improved in the presence of ENR and sea-island structure was formed in NR/silica when 30phr ENR added, which maybe the reason of decrement of heat produced during compression.

In the present work, a novel physical treatment (PLA coating) of sisal fibres and its influence on the water absorption, static and dynamic mechanical properties of its composites has been presented. The treated sisal fibres were used consisted of alkali treatment and PLA coating to fabricate its polyester-based composites by hand lay-up technique keeping constant fibres content as 20 wt.% . Water absorption analysis was carried out in terms of water uptake (%), and sorption, diffusion and permeability coefficient. In addition, static properties were examined in terms of tensile, flexural and impact test, and dynamic mechanical analysis was performed in terms of storage modulus [Formula: see text], loss modulus [Formula: see text], damping [Formula: see text] and glass transition temperature [Formula: see text]. It was reported that the PLA-coated sisal composites showed the best performance in water absorption, mechanical and dynamic mechanical properties than pure sisal and alkali-treated sisal composites. There were 33%, 49%, 48%, and 27% improvement in water resistance, tensile strength, flexural strength and impact strength, respectively, of PLA-coated sisal composites as compared to that of pure sisal composite.

Poly (arylene sulfide sulfone)/glass fiber cloth composites (PASS/GFC) were prepared through compression moulding. The optimum processing conditions including temperature, time and pressure were discussed in detail. The cross-linking reaction, mechanical and dynamic mechanical properties were also characterized. The results showed that the optimum processing temperature, pressure and time were 325 °C, 5 MPa and 15 min, respectively. The thioether group (-S-) was oxidized and converted to sulfoxide (-SO-) and sulfone (-SO2-) groups during the crosslinking reaction proved by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. The mechanical and dynamic mechanical analysis measurements showed that mechanical properties, including tensile, bending, impact and storage modulus increased continuously with an increase of the GFC contents.
