An amphiphilic poly(ethylene-alt-propylene)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEP-PEO) block copolymer (BCP) was blended with a bisphenol A-based epoxy resin formulation and self-assembled into wormlike micelle structure. With an incorporation of 5 wt % the BCP material, fracture toughness improved by >100% over neat epoxy. The morphology mechanical properties this BCP-modified were investigated using transmission electron microscopy, dynamic analysis, tensile tests, measurements. Toughening...
An amphiphilic block copolymer toughener was incorporated into a liquid epoxy resin formulation and self-assembled well-dispersed nanometer scale spherical micelles with size of about 15 nm. The nanosized at 5 wt % loading can significantly improve the fracture toughness cured thermosets without reduction in modulus room temperature only slight drop glass transition temperature. toughening mechanisms were investigated, it found that nm could cavitate to induce matrix shear banding, which...
Abstract By manipulating processing conditions, three levels of exfoliation synthetic α‐zirconium phosphate (α‐ZrP) nanoplatelets in epoxy matrices have been achieved. Transmission electron microscopy and wide angle X‐ray diffraction were utilized to confirm the different epoxy/α‐ZrP nanocomposites. As expected, it was found that modulus strength nanocomposite are affected by how well disperse. It also operative fracture mechanisms depend strongly on state dispersion. The crack deflection...
Abstract The effect of nanoplatelets on the rheological behavior epoxy monomers with variations in nanoplatelet exfoliation level and aspect ratio was investigated. results show that presence exfoliated can significantly influence viscosity lead to shear‐thinning phenomena, especially when is high. By employing Krieger‐Dougherty model, effectiveness altering quantitatively described compared experimental findings. Possible physical reasons for observed behaviors are discussed. implication...
Abstract Light-weighting vehicular components through adoption of light-metal structural alloys holds promise for reducing the fuel consumption internal combustion engine vehicles and increasing range battery electric vehicles. However, alloyed microstructure surface precipitates aluminum render these materials susceptible to corrosion under modest excursions from neutral pH. Traditional chromium-based anodic passivation layers are subject increasingly stringent environmental regulations,...
Fiber sizing is one of the most important components in manufacturing composites by affecting mechanical properties, including strength and stiffness. The manmade fibers offers many advantages, such as improving fiber/matrix adhesion bonding protecting fiber surfaces from damage during processing weaving stages, enhancing surface wettability polymer matrices. In this work, influence levels on carbon fibers' (CFs) properties reported at room temperature using single tensile testing...
