Composites high performance

In addition to their role in composites, high performance fibers are also found in coated and laminated textile products, three-dimensional fabric stmctures, multifunctional property improvement, and intelligent or self-adaptive materials.

Uses Substitute for HMX, or RDX in plastic explosives, high performance gun propellants, and rocket propellants. It can be used as a primary component instead of RDX or HMX in explosives compositions, high performance gun propellants, or rocket propellants. ... 

As an initial composition, high performance mortar was used. This mortar possesses a very dense structure because of the addition of fly ash and silica fume, even before the addition of polymers. The water/cement ratio of 0.39 is kept constant in all mixtures. The dosage of polymer dispersions constitutes 10% and 20% and is denoted as mass percentage of the cement content.

Continuous SiC fibers contribute to the toughening of ceramics as the interface in SiC/SiC composites works effectively. Furthermore, continuous SiC fibers are formed into the SiC fiber preform composed of multidimensional woven and braided structures (two-dimensional woven cloth, three-dimensional woven fabric, complex braids shaped as the desired component and so on). The shape of the SiC fiber preform mostly determines the final shape of the SiC/SiC composites. High-performance SiC fibers supplied by Nippon Carbon Co., Ltd., Japan (Nicalon, Hi-Niealon, Hi-Nicalon Type S) (Ichikawa, Okamura, Seguchi, 1995 Takeda,... 

Composites. Various composite materials have evolved over the years as a significant class of high performance textile products. The prototype composite is carbon fiber with an epoxy resin matrix for stmctural akcraft components and other aerospace and military appHcations. Carbon fiber composites ate also used in various leisure and spotting items such as golf clubs, tennis rackets, and lightweight bicycle frames. However, other types of appHcations and composites ate also entering the marketplace. For example, short ceUulose fiber/mbbet composites ate used for hoses, belting, and pneumatic tire components. 

Transportation. High performance fibers and high technology textile products have many appHcations ia the transportation area. Composites are increasingly used as stmctural materials ia aircraft components such as horizontal stabilizers, fins, landing gear doors, fan blades, and nose spia cones. 

Advanced composites and fiber-reinforced materials are used in sailcloth, speedboat, and other types of boat components, and leisure and commercial fishing gear. A ram id and polyethylene fibers are currentiy used in conveyer belts to collect valuable offshore minerals such as cobalt, uranium, and manganese. Constmction of oil-adsorbing fences made of high performance fabrics is being evaluated in Japan as well as the constmction of other pollution control textile materials for maritime use. For most marine uses, the textile materials must be resistant to biodeterioration and to a variety of aqueous pollutants and environmental conditions. 

Hydrothermal Synthesis Systems. Of the unit operations depicted in Figure 1, the pressurized sections from reactor inlet to pressure letdown ate key to hydrothermal process design. In consideration of scale-up of a hydrothermal process for high performance materials, several criteria must be considered. First, the mode of operation, which can be either continuous, semicontinuous, or batch, must be determined. Factors to consider ate the operating conditions, the manufacturing demand, the composition of the product mix (single or multiple products), the amount of waste that can be tolerated, and the materials of constmction requirements. Criteria for the selection of hydrothermal reactor design maybe summarized as... 

Both vapor-phase chromatography and high performance Hquid chromatography, along with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, have been used for isomer and composition analysis. 

High performance composites may be laminates wherein veils of carbon fiber ate treated with an epoxy resin, stacked up to the desired final product thickness, and then laminated together under heat and pressure (see Composite materials Carbon and graphite fibers). Simply mixing together carbon or glass fibers and polymeric resins to form a reinforced plastic leads to a composite material, but this is not a laminate if not constmcted from discrete phes. 

By comparison, high performance composite laminates ate not only ctossphed like plywood, but actually have laminae stacked at very specific angles to one another to achieve optimal uniform properties in the x—y plane (2). 

To determine the phosphoHpid and fatty acid compositions chromatographic methods (28) like gas chromatography (gc), thin-layer chromatography (tic), and high performance Hquid chromatography (hlpc) are used. Newer methods for quantitative deterrnination of different phosphoHpid classes include P-nmr (29).
