In this study, we prepared glass fiber reinforced polypropylene composites using Brabender twin-screw extruder. Compatibilizer, polypropylene-based maleic anhydride (PP-g-MAH), was used to increase the molecular interaction between polypropylene matrix and glass fiber and to enhance melt processability. We also measured the shear and uniaxial elongational behaviors of glass-fiber reinforced composites in the absence or presence of compatibilizer. The effects of compatibilizer and fiber loading on the viscoelastic behaviors were examined. It was fuund that the PP-g-MAH compatibilizer improved the fluidity and increased the molecular bonding of composite melts in shear flow. Transient elongational viscosity was increased with fiber loadings in uniaxial elongational flow However, it was decreased with increasing elongational rates because of microscale shear flow between fibers.

Textile composites란 직물, 편성물, 브레이드 등을 사용한 섬유강화 복합재료의 총칭으로서 텍스타일이 지닌 뛰어난 기능을 매트릭스에 부가함에 따라 단일재료로는 얻지 못하는 뛰어난 공업재료를 만들 수 있다. 편성물은 직물이나 브레이드에 비해서, 변형특성도 매우 우수하고 고생산성이다. 복합재료에서 강화재로 편성물을 사용하는 경우, 섬유소재, 편조직, 편환 밀도 등을 고려하는 것에 의하여 편성물 강화 복합재료의 역학적 특성이 달라진다. (중략)

섬유강화 복합재료는 상대적으로 아주 높은 질량 대비 탄성계수를 가지고 있으므로 경량화 할 필요가 있는 물체나 관성력이 최소로 요구되는 부분에 사용되고 있다. 대부분의 복합재료판들은 고탄성-저신도 섬유를 사용하여 만든 단층의 복합재료를 그배향 방향을 조절하여 원하는 방향 특성으로 접근한다. 그러나 다층으로 만들어 2차원의 등방성 소재로 만들어 사용하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 경우에는 여러 층을 결합 하여야 하는 번거로움과 두께의 제약 등이 있다. (중략)

본 연구에서는 유리섬유/나일론 6 복합재료의 계면특성에 미치는 실란계 사이징제의 영향을 조사하기 위하여 microbonding test, short-beam shear test 그리고 dynamic mechanical analysis 방법을 사용하였다. 전자의 미시적인 방법과 후자의 두 가지 거시적인 접근 방법으로부터 얻은 유리섬유/나일론 6 복합재료의 계면특성에 대한 결과가 서로 일치하였다. 상업적으로 사이징 처리된 경우와 비교할 때, 본 연구에 적용된 네 종류의 실란계 사이징제는 유리섬유-나일론 6 수지의 계면결합력을 크게 향상시켰다. 특히, 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane (Z-6076)의 사용은 유리섬유/나일론 6 복합재료의 계면전단강도와 층간전단강도를 가장 두드러지게 증가시켰다.

In order to overcome one of the most pronounced shortcomings of conventional laminated composites, such as the low damage tolerance due to delamination, the thermoplastic materials and 3D (three-dimensional) preforms have been utilized in the manufacture of composite materials. From the newly developed process termed as the co-braiding, hybrid yarns of the thermoplastic fibers (PEEK) and reinforcing fibers (carbon) have been fabricated. In order to further enhance the delamination suppression, through thickness fibers have been introduced by way of 3D weaving technique in the fabrication of textile preforms. The preforms have been thermoformed to make composite materials. Complete impregnation of the PEEK into the carbon fiber bundles has been confirmed. For the comparison of mechanical performance of 3D woven composites, quasi-isotropic laminates using APC-2/AS4 tapes have been fabricated. Tensile and compressive properties of both the composites have been determined. Furthermore. the open hole, impact and CAI(Compression After Impact) tests were also carried out to assess the applicability of 3D woven textile reinforced thermoplastic composites in aerospace structures.

In mobility industries, the use of thermoplastic composites increased dynamically. In this study, the mechanical and impregnation properties of continuous glass fiber (GF)/polypropylene (PP) composite were evaluated with different GF contents. The GF/PP commingled fiber was manufactured with different GF contents and continuous GF/PP composite was manufactured using continuous compression molding process. Tensile, flexural, and impact test of specimens were evaluated with different GF contents. The fracture behavior of specimens was proved using field emission-scanning electron microscope images of fracture area and impregnation property was evaluated using dynamic mechanical analyzer and interlaminar shear strength. Finally, the GF/PP composite was the optimized mechanical and impregnation properties using 50 wt.% GF/PP commingled fiber.

To improve the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites, laminated composites plates were fabricated using different matrix resins and glass or aramid fibers. The effect of matrix resin system were evaluated by tensile, flexural strength measurements. In the case of surface treated aramid fiber and unsaturated polyester resin composite, maximum flexural properties were observed in the composite prepared from the glass fiber treated with 0.5 wt% silane coupling agents. Vinylester resin composites show the highest tensile properties and isophthalic polyester composites have the highest flexural properties among the unsaturated polyester resin composites studied. The relationship between overlap laminated composites plates and mechanical properties of polymer composites is also investigated in order to improve mechanical properties of glass fiber and unsaturated polyester resin composites.

단섬유 보강 플라스틱 복합재료에 사출성형에서 섬유배향은 금형 충전 공정 중의 유동장에 의해 결정되고 섬유의 배향 상태는 역으로 유동장에 영향을 미친다. 단섬유에 의 한 추가적인 응력을 포함하는 Dinh과 Armstrong의 이방성 구성방정식을 충전유동과 섬유 배향의 연계해석에 도입하였다. 충전유동의 해석은 새로운 압력 지배방정식과 에너지 방정 식을 유한요소법과 유한차분법을 이용하여 풀고 동시에 2차 배향 텐서의 변화방정식을 4차 Runge-kutta 방법으로 풀었다. 섬유의 배향상태를 구한 후에 일방향성 복합재료의 Halpin-Tsai 식과 배향 평균모델을 도입하여 사풀성형품의 이방성 기계적 성질이 예측되었 다. 직사각형 캐비티에서 수치해석결과를 실험결과와 비교하였다. 섬유배향과 유동과의 상호 연계작용을 특히 게이트 근처에서 섬유배향에 영향을 미치며 수치해석 결과는 벽면 근처에 서 유동방향으로 배향하는 shell층을 과대 예측함을 알수 있었는데 이는 배향 텐서 변화 방 정식의 최종근사에서 기인하는 오차로 판단된다. 수정된 복합최종 근사를 바탕으로 예측된 이방성 기계적 성질이 기존의 복합최종 근사에 기초한 예측보다 실험 결과에 정량적으로 보 다 잘 일치하였다.

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of recycled PET fiber made from waste PET bottle on the control of plastic shrinkage cracking of cement based composites. PET is blown as a plastic material and used in a variety products such as a beverage bottle. However, waste PET bottles are thrown after the usage, raising huge problems in terms of the environment. Thus, the research on the method to recycle the PET bottles indicates important aspects in environment and economy. The method to recycle waste PET bottles as a reinforcing fiber for cement based composites is one of effective methods in terms of the recycle of waste PET bottles. In this research, the effect of recycled PET fiber geometry and length on the control of plastic shrinkage was examined through thin slab tests. A test program was carried out to understand the influence of fiber geometry, length and fiber volume fraction. Three type of recycled PET fibers including straight, twist crimped and embossed type. Three volume fraction and two fiber length were investigated for each of the three fiber geometry. Test results indicated that recycled PET fibers are effective in controlling plastic shrinkage cracking in cement based composites. In respect to effect of length of fiber, longer fiber was observed to have efficient cracking controlling with low volume fraction in same fiber geometry while shorter fiber controled plastic shrinkage cracking efficiently as addition rate increase. Also, embossed type fibers were more effective in controlling plastic shrinkage cracking than other geometry fiber at low volume fraction. But, for high volume fraction, straight type fibers were most effective in plastic shrinkage cracking controlling in cement based composites.
