Thermal Rheological Analysis of Cure Process of Epoxy Prepreg
The cure process of epoxy prepreg used as composite pipe joints was studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Bohlin Rheometer and other techniques. Isothermal DSC measurements were conducted between 110 and 220 C, at 10 C intervals. The results show that the complete cure reaction could be achieved at 220 C. The isothermal cure process was simulated with the four-parameter a...
متن کاملInfluence of Fiber Orientation on Single-Point Cutting Fracture Behavior of Carbon-Fiber/Epoxy Prepreg Sheets
The purpose of this article is to investigate the influences of carbon fibers on the fracture mechanism of carbon fibers both in macroscopic view and microscopic view by using single-point flying cutting method. Cutting tools with three different materials were used in this research, namely, PCD (polycrystalline diamond) tool, CVD (chemical vapor deposition) diamond thin film coated carbide too...
متن کاملCharacterisation and Control of Fibre Alignment during Prepreg Manufacture
A procedure is presented for characterisation of fibre misalignment in composites. It is based on analysis of low magnification images in which the local fibre direction can be inferred from the orientation of elongated features in the image. Specimen preparation and image analysis procedures are presented and their usage is illustrated by application to a carbon fibre composite. Factors affect...
متن کاملManufacturing and Ultimate Mechanical Performance of Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Epoxy Composite Suspension Push-rods for a Formula 1 Racing Car
The contemporary Formula 1 racing car makes extensive use of advanced composite materials in its construction. The design, manufacture, and ultimate performance under compression of composite suspension push-rods that typically could be used in a Grand Prix racing car are described in this present paper. An aerofoil cross section has been used based on different lay-ups of carbon/epoxy composit...
متن کاملOptical absorption of DNA-carbon nanotube structures.
We measured the UV optical absorption of single-stranded DNA bound to single-walled carbon nanotubes (DNA/SWNT). The nucleotide absorbance from DNA/SWNT provides the first experimental confirmation that DNA binds to nanotubes through pi-stacking. Because the hypochromic absorbance typical of pi-stacked structures are expected to occur primarily for DNA dipole transitions that lie along the axis...
