Book Engineered Interfaces in Fiber Reinforced Composites

Download or read book Engineered Interfaces in Fiber Reinforced Composites written by Jang-Kyo Kim and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1998-10-21 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study and application of composite materials are a truly interdisciplinary endeavour that has been enriched by contributions from chemistry, physics, materials science, mechanics and manufacturing engineering. The understanding of the interface (or interphase) in composites is the central point of this interdisciplinary effort. From the early development of composite materials of various nature, the optimization of the interface has been of major importance. While there are many reference books available on composite materials, few of them deal specifically with the science and mechanics of the interface of fiber reinforced composites. Further, many recent advances devoted solely to research in composite interfaces have been scattered in a variety of published literature and have yet to be assembled in a readily accessible form. To this end this book is an attempt to bring together recent developments in the field, both from the materials science and mechanics perspective, in a single convenient volume.The central theme of the book is tailoring the interface properties to optimise the mechanical peformance and structural integrity of composites with enhanced strength/stiffness and fracture toughness (or specific fracture resistance). It deals mainly with interfaces in advanced composites made from high performance fibers, such as glass, carbon, aramid, ultra high modulus polyethylene and some inorganic (e.g. B/W, A12O3, SiC) fibers, and matrix materials encompassing polymers, metals/alloys and ceramics. The book is intended to provide a comprehensive treatment of composite interfaces in such a way that it should be of interest to materials scientists, technologists and practising engineers, as well as graduate students and their supervisors in advanced composites. We hope that this book will also serve as a valuable source of reference to all those involved in the design and research of composite interfaces.The book contains eight chapters of discussions on microstructure-property relationships with underlying fundamental mechanics principles. In Chapter 1, an introduction is given to the nature and definition of interfaces in fiber reinforced composites. Chapter 2 is devoted to the mechanisms of adhesion which are specific to each fiber-matrix system, and the physio-chemical characterization of the interface with regard to the origin of adhesion. The experimental techniques that have been developed to assess the fiber-matrix interface bond quality on a microscopic scale are presented in Chapter 3, along with the techniques of measuring interlaminar/intralaminar strengths and fracture toughness using bulk composite laminates. The applicability and limitations associated with loading geometry and interpretation of test data are compared. Chapter 4 presents comprehensive theoretical analyses based on shear-lag models of the single fiber composite tests, with particular interest being placed on the interface debond process and the nature of the fiber-matrix interfacial bonding. Chapter 5 is devoted to reviewing current techniques of fiber surface treatments which have been devised to improve the bond strength and the fiber-matrix compatibility/stability during the manufacturing processes of composites. The micro-failure mechanisms and their associated theories of fracture toughness of composites are discussed in Chapter 6. The roles of the interface and its effects on the mechanical performance of fiber composites are addressed from several viewpoints. Recent research efforts to augment the transverse and interlaminar fracture toughness by means of controlled interfaces are presented in Chapters 7 and 8.

Book Silk Fibroin and Hydroxyapatite Composites for Bioresorbable Bone Fixation Devices

Download or read book Silk Fibroin and Hydroxyapatite Composites for Bioresorbable Bone Fixation Devices written by Bryant Heimbach and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year there are approximately 9 million bone fractures in the United States, and 30% of these require an internal fixation device to help heal. Currently, the gold standard for fixation devices relies on the use of metals because of their high mechanical properties and bioinertness. However, metal implants often require a second surgery to remove them because they cause stress shielding and metal ion leaching. Current bioresorbable fixation devices on the market have poor mechanical properties and are limited to use in non-load-bearing applications (i.e. maxillofacial fractures). As such, there remains a gap in the fracture fixation devices on the market, where a bioresorbable, high-performance device could provide the mechanical stability of metal devices, while safely degrading in vivo. The present study focuses on the development of such a device by fabricating a composite material containing both long-fiber and particle reinforcement. Using novel processing techniques, a composite consisting of PLLA fibers, HA nanorods, and PCL matrix was fabricated and had a bending modulus and strength of 9.2 Gpa and 187 MPa, respectively. To increase the mechanical properties, statistically designed experiments (DOE) were employed to home in on an ideal material composition of the composite material, resulting in the use of SF fibers, HA nanowhiskers, and a PLA matrix. The final composite possessed a bending modulus and strength of 21.3 GPa and 531 MPa, respectively. This composite material was formed into a curved device and contained screw holes, resembling current metal fixation plates. These devices underwent an accelerated 8-week in vitro degradation study, in which the samples lost a total of 5 wt%. Additionally, cell proliferation studies showed cells increase proliferation through 7 days of culturing on the plates, and a cell viability assay revealed the samples have good in vitro biocompatibility after 14 days of culturing. Overall, the mechanical properties, degradation trend, and biocompatibility of the fabricated composites in this study show great promise for future use as a degradable load-bearing bone fixation device, in which in vivostudies will be needed to verify the efficacy of the composite material as a bone fixation device.

Book Interface Engineering of Natural Fibre Composites for Maximum Performance

Download or read book Interface Engineering of Natural Fibre Composites for Maximum Performance written by Nikolaos E Zafeiropoulos and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-02-26 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the major reasons for composite failure is a breakdown of the bond between the reinforcement fibres and the matrix. When this happens, the composite loses strength and fails. By engineering the interface between the natural fibres and the matrix, the properties of the composite can be manipulated to give maximum performance. Interface engineering of natural fibre composites for maximum performance looks at natural (sustainable) fibre composites and the growing trend towards their use as reinforcements in composites.Part one focuses on processing and surface treatments to engineer the interface in natural fibre composites and looks in detail at modifying cellulose fibre surfaces in the manufacture of natural fibre composites, interface tuning through matrix modification and preparation of cellulose nanocomposites.

This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural Fiber-Reinforced Biodegradable and Bioresorbable Polymer Composites focuses on key areas of fundamental research and applications of biocomposites. Several key elements that affect the usage of these composites in real-life applications are discussed. There will be a comprehensive review on the different kinds of biocomposites at the beginning of the book, then the different types of natural fibers, bio-polymers, and green nanoparticle biocomposites are discussed as well as their potential for future development and use in engineering biomedical and domestic products. Recently mankind has realized that unless the environment is protected, he himself will be threatened by the over consumption of natural resources as well as a substantial reduction in the amount of fresh air produced in the world. Conservation of forests and the optimal utilization of agricultural and other renewable resources like solar, wind, and tidal energy, have become important topics worldwide. With such concern, the use of renewable resources—such as plant and animal-based, fiber-reinforced polymeric composites—are now becoming an important design criterion for designing and manufacturing components for a broad range of different industrial products. Research on biodegradable polymeric composites can contribute, to some extent, to a much greener and safer environment. For example, in the biomedical and bioengineering fields, the use of natural fiber mixed with biodegradable and bioresorbable polymers can produce joint and bone fixtures to alleviate pain in patients. - Includes comprehensive information about the sources, properties, and biodegradability of natural fibers - Discusses failure mechanisms and modeling of natural fibers composites - Analyzes the effectiveness of using natural materials for enhancing mechanical, thermal, and biodegradable properties

Book Interfacial Bonding Characteristics in Natural Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites

Download or read book Interfacial Bonding Characteristics in Natural Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites written by Senthilkumar Krishnasamy and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-17 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a general overview of the importance of fibre-matrix interfacial bonding characteristics in natural fibre-based composites to obtain optimal material properties for a specific application. Composites materials are prepared by combining fibres and polymers to achieve superior materials properties than those of the individual components. Composite materials are used to produce lightweight components with increased stiffness and strength; their properties can also be tailored for any specific applications. The glass fibre reinforced composites dominate 95% of the thermoplastic and thermoset-based composites. However, the natural fibre reinforced composites can give competition to the glass fibres due to their advantages such as biodegradability, low density, low cost, and good mechanical properties. This book looks into biocomposites and its important aspect of optimization of materials’ performance by fine-tuning the fibre-matrix bonding characteristics. The chapters in the book look at different plant fibres such as kenaf, pineapple leaf, jute, date palm, luffa, cotton, hemp, wood, bamboo, flax, and straw and the different approaches to enhance the fibre-matrix interfacial bonding through physical and/or chemical treatment methods. It demonstrates that the nature of fibre-matrix bonding has a significant effect on the properties such as tensile, flexural, impact, inter-laminar shear strength, moisture absorption, thickness swelling, thermal, chemical, damping, creep, and fatigue. Its content appeals to academics, students, researcher, and scientist who are working in the field to produce biodegradable and recyclable materials in the composite industry.

Book Micromechanics of Fiber Matrix Interface and Fracture of Advanced Composites with Engineered Interfaces

Download or read book Micromechanics of Fiber Matrix Interface and Fracture of Advanced Composites with Engineered Interfaces written by J-K Kim and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental method is presented to achieve high strength and high fracture toughness of polymer matrix composites by means of an organic interlayer between fiber and matrix. Extensive mechanical tests and chemical/morphological analyses are performed with a special emphasis being placed on the fiber-matrix interface to characterize the interfacial bonding and the corresponding failure mechanisms taking place in the composite during fracture. To support the observed experimental results, also presented is a parametric theoretical study based on thermo-mechanics and finite element analyses of the single fiber cylindrical composite model whereby important roles of the interlayer are evaluated in controlling the stress transfer, debonding process and the generation of thermal residual stresses. In light of the foregoing study, three concepts of engineered interface are proposed and their practical implications discussed. They include weak interface-bond layer, microductile/compliant layer and compensating layer.
