“…Each phase contributes properties to the composite to synergistically form the functional characteristics, eventually preventing crack propagation in three‐dimensional space . The nature of the fiber, type of matrix, and interface properties can significantly influence the properties of the composite materials …”

Production and Anisotropic Tensile Behavior of Resin‐Metal Interpenetrating Phase Composites

et al. 2017

Metal-polymer composites can be used to synthesize material properties. A variety of interpenetrating phase composites have been produced by spontaneously infiltrating porous short-fiber preforms with unsaturated polyester resin under vacuum conditions. Porous preforms are fabricated by compacting and sintering short 304 stainless steel fibers from cutting stainless steel fiber ropes. Tensile experiments are conducted, and fractographs are examined via scanning electron microscopy. The results reveal that the tensile strength, elongation at maximum stress, and elasticity modulus of the IPCs increase with the increasing fiber fractions and exhibit anisotropy in different directions. The tensile strength and elongation at maximum stress are significantly improved compared with the consistent preforms. A nonlinear elastic behavior and sawtooth-like fluctuation during yield deformation are noted. Compared with the through-thickness direction, a higher tensile strength and larger elongation at maximum stress are observed in the in-plane direction. Finer-diameter fibers can improve the strength and increase the elongation at maximum stress. The tensile fracture surfaces show a mixture of brittle and plastic fracture characteristics.

“…Author(s) agree that this article remain permanently open access under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0 International License based composite studied that plain EP/PP (poly propylene) fiber composite had higher impact energy than plain EP/CF where CF is carbon fiber. The modulus of elasticity and tensile strength of Kevlar fiber reinforced polyester composite was reported higher than that of glass fiber reinforced composite by 75 and 25% respectively (Isa et al, 2013). In the same work, the hybrid of the fibers in the same matrix was reported to have better mechanical properties than the monolithic composites.…”

Unsaturated polyester was modified with dioctyl phthalate (DOP) and used as matrix in glass fiber reinforced composite. The effect on the thermal stability of the composite was studied in this work. The results of the modification showed that modified matrix had the best thermal stability at 5 wt% DOP with temperature of 373°C at 20% weight loss as compared with unmodified of temperature of 346°C at the same weight loss. The analysis of the resultant composites also indicated that the composite with modified matrix had better thermal stability having 65% of its weight left at 897°C as compared with unmodified matrix with 53% of its weight at the same temperature. The drop weight impact test conducted did not show any significant difference in the properties of the modified composite and unmodified.

“…The bands from 1593 to 1490 cm −1 , weaker in intensity, could be assigned to different C H vibration modes from the aromatic ring and the bands located at 1423 and 1378 cm −1 may correspond to the scissoring and rocking vibration modes of the alkyl groups. The strong sharp band occurring at 1268 cm −1 (IWB) and respectively 1279 cm −1 (IRB) is attributed to the twisting vibration mode of CH 2 groups [24,25].…”
