Styrene-butadiene Rubber (SBR) Latex composites, incorporated with cellulose/starch-silica hybrids synthesized by gel-adsorption method, were filled into rubber by the latex compounding method. The structure morphology, mechanical properties, and thermodynamic properties of gel-silica hybrids were characterized. The states of hybrids which used as fillers were also characterized by SEM. As the fillers ratio increased, the difference for storage modulus of samples had been morphology by rubber process analyzer (RPA). Then, as more fillers ratio was filled into the matrix, the best tensile strength result, and the largest modulus value were also proved by UTM and RPA. As for thermal stability, increase in the ratio of fillers led to higher initial decomposition temperature, which was also proved by TGA. The swelling ratio of samples has also been characterized. From the results of all the tests, cellulose-silica hybrid showed the best results as a filler, and the best filling ratio of this hybrid is about 10 phr, which has the best storage modulus and great tensile strength.

폴리올, 이소시아네이트, 2-HEMA 및 기타 아크릴레이트 단량체들로부터 제조된 폴리우레탄 접착제의 FT-IR측정과 물성을 검토하였다. 폴리우레탄 접착제의 연화점, 점도, 접착강도 및 기계적 물성들이 각각 링과볼법, Brookfield 점도계 및 만능시험기를 이용하여 검토되었다. 실험 결과에 의하면 PPG 함량 및 부틸아크릴레이트 함량이 증가함에 따라 연화점, 접착강도, 인장강도 및 100% modulus 값 등은 감소하는 것을 보여준다. 하지만 2-HEMA 및 MDI량이 증가할수록 인장강도 및 100% modulus값 등은 증가하였으며 점도와 NCO함량 등도 또한 증가하였다.

폴리프로필렌 기반 자기보강 복합재는 기지재와 보강재가 동일한 소재로 구성되어 기존 섬유강화 복합재와 달리 섬유와 기지재의 분리없이 바로 재활용이 가능할 뿐 아니라 폴리프로필렌 수준까지 저 비중화가 가능한 고분자 복합재이다. 본 연구에서는 더블벨트 라미네이터 공정기술을 이용하여 압력, 온도, 냉각조건과 같은 공정 변수가 폴리프로필렌으로 제조된 자기보강 복합재의 인장 물성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. XRD, DSC를 이용하여 결정구조의 변화에 따라 인장 탄성계수는 0.2~1.2 GPa로 약 6배까지 향상되는 것을 확인하였다. SEM 분석을 통해 함침 정도를 확인함으로써 자기보강 복합재의 함침 후 형상 변화 또한 고찰하였다.

This paper presents the mechanical properties of a composite consisting of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resin mixed with carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) pieces (CFRP/ABS). CFRP pieces made by crushing CFRP wastes were utilized in this material. Nine kinds of CFRP/ABS compounds with different weight fraction and size of CFRP pieces were prepared. Firstly, tensile and flexural tests were performed for the specimens with various CFRP content. Next, fracture surfaces of the specimens were microscopically observed to investigate fracture behavior and fiber/resin interface. Finally, the tensile modulus and strength were discussed based on the macromechanical model. It is found that the elastic modulus increases linearly with increasing CFRP content while the strength changes nonlinearly. Microscopic observation revealed that most carbon fibers are separated individually and dispersed homogeneously in ABS resin. Epoxy resin particles originally from CFRP are dispersed in ABS resin and seem to be in good contact with surrounding resin. The modulus and strength can be expressed using a macromechanical model taking account of fiber orientation, length and interfacial bonding in short fiber composites.

There is increasing demand for the development of a new material with high strength, high stiffness, and good electrical conductivity that can be used for high-voltage direct current cables. In this study, we develop aluminum-based composites containing C₆₀ fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, or graphene using a powder metallurgical route and evaluate their strength, stiffness, coefficient of thermal expansion, and electrical conductivity. By optimizing the process conditions, a material with a tensile strength of 800 MPa, an elastic modulus of 90 GPa, and an electrical conductivity of 40% IACS is obtained, which may replace iron-core cables. Furthermore, by designing the type and volume fraction of the reinforcement, a material with a tensile strength of 380 MPa, elastic modulus of 80 GPa, and electrical conductivity of 54% IACS is obtained, which may compete with AA 6201 aluminum alloys for use in all-aluminum conductor cables.

Based on the random cracking theory, the cylinder RVE model of reinforced concrete is established and the damage process is divided into three stages as the evolution of the cracks. The stress distribution along longitude direction of the concrete and the steel bar in the cylinder model are derived. The equivalent elastic modulus of the RVE are derived and the user-defined field variable subroutine (USDFLD) for the equivalent elastic modulus is well integrated into the ABAQUS. Regarding the tensile rebars and the concrete surrounding the rebars as the equivalent homogeneous transversely isotropic material, and the FEM analysis for the reinforced concrete beams is conducted with the USDFLD subroutine. Considering the concrete cracking and interfacial debonding, the macroscopic damage process of the reinforced concrete beam under four-point bending loading in the simulation. The volume fraction of rebar and the cracking degree are mainly discussed to reveal their influence on the macro-performance and they are calibrated with experimental results. Comparing with the bending experiment performed with 8 reinforced concrete beams, the bending stiffness of the second stage and the ultimate load simulated are in good agreement with the experimental values, which verifies the effectiveness and the accuracy of the improved finite element method for reinforced concrete beam.

This study examined the changes in the mechanical properties of coral concrete under different coconut fiber admixtures. To accomplish this goal, the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength and elastic modulus properties of coral concrete blocks reinforced with coconut fibers were measured. The results showed that the addition of coconut fiber had little effect on the cube and axial compressive strengths. With increasing coconut fiber content, the flexural strength and splitting tensile strength of the concrete changed substantially, first by increasing and then by decreasing, with maximum increases of 36.0% and 12.8%, respectively; additionally, the addition of coconut fibers resulted in a failure type with some ductility. When the coconut fiber-reinforced coral concrete was 7 days old, it reached approximately 74% of its maximum strength. The addition of coconut fiber did not affect the early strength of the coral concrete mixed with seawater. When the amount of coconut fiber was no more than 3 kg/m3, the resulting concrete elastic modulus decreased only slightly from that of a similar concrete without coconut fiber, and the maximum decrease was 5.4%. The optimal dose of coconut fiber was 3 kg/m3 in this study.

Reinforced concrete structures are an integrated structure in which reinforcing bars are placed on the tensile side of the beam to compensate for concrete that is strong in compression but weak in tension, so that the concrete receives compressive force and the reinforcing bars receive tensile force. It is durable, fire-resistant, economical, and adapts to the shape and dimensions of the structure. It has been widely used for a long time because it can be made freely without restrictions. However, reinforced concrete structures have the disadvantage that cracks occur easily, so they are repaired using a cross-sectional construction method. During this process, problems such as the repair part falling off occurred, so in order to solve the problem, stress changes due to changes in the size of the repair part were examined. As a result, based on the elastic modulus ratio of 1.0, the stress tended to increase as the size of the repair part decreased when it was less than 1.0, and the opposite tendency was seen when it was more than 1.0. This is believed to be due to an increase in the area of the part with a large elastic modulus.
