Mechanical tests process

The data of fracture surface studies (Fig. 14.9) corresponds also to made conclusion. At small X fiacture surface relief is homogeneous one that indicated good adhesion between UHMPE and filler. In the case of A, > 7 can be see relief heterogeneity, which is due to adhesion loss in interfacial boundary pol5mier-filler and, as consequence, material fiacture on this boundary. A microciacks aggregation, formed during extmsion, and their fiacture occurs at componors samples deformation in mechanical tests process [2]. 

A more recent process, the P2 etch [60], which uses ferric sulfate as an oxidizer in place of sodium dichromate avoids the use of toxic chromates, but still provides a similar oxide surface morphology (Fig. 15) allowing a mechanically interlocked interface and strong bonding [9]. The P2 treatment has wide process parameter windows over a broad range of time-temperature-solution concentration conditions and mechanical testing confirms that P2-prepared surfaces are, at a minimum, equivalent to FPL-prepared specimens and only slightly inferior to PAA-prepared surfaces [61]. 

A significant amount of waste composites is generated each year and the need for a recycling method is becoming a necessity. Environmental Technical Services has developed, with the support of the University of Missouri-St.Louis, a method for recovering valuable constituents from composite materials. The process converts the polymer matrix to lower chain hydrocarbons and fuel gas leaving behind fibres. Mechanical tests of BMC panels, reinforced concrete and compression moulded panels made with recovered fibres were carried out. 10 refs. USA...

Many fundamental material properties are accessible in rheological and mechanical testing experiments [60]. Rheological properties are not only very relevant for the processing of polymers, they are also the basis for understanding chain motion and relaxation processes in (linear) polymers. Relatively few rheological studies have been reported on PPC, often only in combination with the processing of PPC [15,61].

Mechanical testing of the three-step cure specimens indicated that no sacrifice in properties resulted from the modification of the process cycle. The retainment of mechanical properties (transverse strength and modulus) coupled with the reduction in dimensionless curvature for the three-step cure cycles investigated provides another suitable cure cycle modification for reduction of residual stresses in composite materials. Overall processing time has not been increased beyond that specified in the MRC cycle. Thus, with no increase in process time and comparable mechanical properties, the residual stresses have been reduced by more than 20 percent in comparison to the MRC cycle baseline data. 

Preparation of Specimens for Mechanical Measurements. The specimens for mechanical testing were obtained by blending the powdered polymer with 1.5 phr of Ba-Cd stabilizer, 5 phr of CaC03, and 0.5 phr or lubricant (stearic acid). The dry blend was processed in a roll mill at 200°C for 5 minutes. The 1-mm sheets obtained were preheated in an oven at 200°C for 5 minutes and molded in a molding press at a pressure of 80-100 kg/cm2. The specimens were obtained by milling with suitable equipment.
