چکیده

An investigation into the mechanical response of pneumatically-spliced carbon fibre yarns as a potential reinforcing material for polymer composites is presented. High strength connections between are produced by joining short discontinuous tows longer lengths via entanglement. The effect altering number high-pressure air pulses fired commercially available (Airbond 701H) splicing machine, to form tow-tow connection, on load bearing capacity and linear stiffness first evaluated splices virgin T700SC-24K-50C tows. best performing spliced configuration subsequently utilised in unidirectional epoxy laminates, which mechanically characterised, their properties compared those various continuous chopped strand mat panels. Results presented this study demonstrate that pneumatic provides high sustainable solution polymers with (approx. >50 mm length) virgin, off-cut or waste yarns. It speculated further research, quasi-continuous remanufactured fibres could provide novel weaving, braiding, non-crimp fabrics, use 3D printing applications.

Multi-Functional Carbon Fibre Composites using Carbon Nanotubes as an Alternative to Polymer Sizing

Carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) were introduced to the aerospace, automobile and civil engineering industries for their high strength and low weight. A key feature of CFRP is the polymer sizing - a coating applied to the surface of the carbon fibres to assist handling, improve the interfacial adhesion between fibre and polymer matrix and allow this matrix to wet-out the carbon fibres. I...

Load transfer and mechanical properties of chemically reduced graphene reinforcements in polymer composites.

We report load transfer and mechanical properties of chemically derived single layer graphene (SLG) as reinforcements in poly (dimethyl) siloxane (PDMS) composites. Shear mixing reduced graphene sheets in polymers resulted in a marked decrease of the 2D band intensity due to doping and functionalization. Raman G mode shifts of 11.2 cm(-1)/% strain in compression and 4.2 cm(-1)/% strain in tensi...
