Oligomer Coupling Agents for Phosphate Based Glass Fibre/pla Composites
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bioabsorbable phosphate glass fibre/polymer composites are being investigated as alternatives to commonly used metal alloy-based bone fracture fixation devices. According to Knowles [1], these ‘Third Generation’ implants remain in the body for the short term necessary for mechanical stabilisation of tissue. In addition the degradation products of the bioabsorbable implants perform an active function in the tissue regeneration process. A bioabsorbable fracture plate could potentially transfer load to the healing bone gradually over time.

In this study three chemical agents Amino-propyl-triethoxy-silane (APS), sorbitol ended PLA oligomer (SPLA) and Hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) were identified to be used as coupling agents to react with the phosphate glass fibre (PGF) reinforcement and the polylactic acid (PLA) polymer matrix of the composite. Composites were prepared with short chopped strand fibres (l = 20 mm, ϕ = 20 µm) in...

متن کاملA Numerical Method for the Determination of an Effective Modules for Coated Glass Fibers Used in Phenolic Composites
It is well known that the mechanical properties of fiberglass reinforced "phenolic moulding compounds" are significantly enhanced if the glass particles are coated with silane coupling agents before compounding. It has been shown that improvements obtained by using scanning electron microscopy techniques are due to better bonding of phenolic resin to the surface of treated glass fibers. These o...
