Polyurethane (PU) with mixed poly(ethylene glycol) / poly(ε-caprolactone) (PEG/PCL) soft segments is a representatively kind of degradable polyurethane material. Polyurethane foams (PUF) with mixed PEG/PCL soft segments were synthesized by using one pot method, and their mechanical and dynamic mechanical properties were investigated. Influences of PEG/PCL weight ratio and molecular weight of soft segments on PUF's mechanical and dynamic mechanical properties were studied. The results showed that: with increasing content of PCL, PUF's tensile strength, elongation at break, stress at certain tensile/compressive strain and storage modulus increased gradually; with increasing molecular weight of soft segment, PUF's elongation at break increased, but tensile strength, stress at certain tensile/compressive strain and storage modulus all decreased accordingly; glass transition temperature (Tg) of PUF with various soft segments decreased according to the following sequence: PEG-400, PCL-210N, PEG-1000 and PTMG1000; loss factor of PUF with PEG/PCL mixed soft segments was higher than that of PUF with individual PEG or PCL soft segments.

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.

Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer

Rubber blends containing nitrile rubber (NBR) and ground ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer waste (EVAW) from the footwear industry have been prepared over a wide range of composition (up to 90 phr of waste component). The ground EVAW had particle size in the range of 100-350 mm and a gel content of 60±5%. The effect of different amounts of EVA waste on the tensile strength, elongation at break, hardness, tear strength and dynamic mechanical properties was studied. EVAW had a good reinforcing effect on the NBR matrix. A combination of optimum tensile properties, resistance to solvent penetration and dynamic mechanical properties, such as storage modulus and loss tangent was achieved by introducing 50 phr of EVAW in the NBR matrix. This composition also presents a more uniform morphology, as indicated by scanning electron microscopy.

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.

Polyester Cord

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.

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.
