“…Halpin-Tsai’s equation is based on “self-consistent micromechanics solutions” developed by Hill [37,46] and used in order to predict the modulus for various orientations and geometries of reinforcement: pcpm=1+ζηvr1−ηvr sans-serifη=(trueprpm)−1(trueprpm)+ζ where p is a composite property like modulus, ζ is the filler geometry reinforcement parameter, v is the volume fraction; r, m , and c are designated to reinforcement, matrix, and composite, respectively.…”

“…Short fibers or nano-scale reinforcements were used for reinforcing thermoplastic polyurethane. Glass fibers [36,37], aramid fibers [38,39,40,41,42,43], carbon fibers [37,44], and nano-reinforcements [45,46] were used for reinforcing thermoplastic polyurethane. Natural fibers were also used to reinforce thermoplastic polyurethane in the view of the development of natural fiber-reinforced biocomposites [47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54].…”

Effect of Low-Temperature Pyrolysis on the Properties of Jute Fiber-Reinforced Acetylated Softwood Kraft Lignin-Based Thermoplastic Polyurethane

Short jute fiber-reinforced acetylated lignin-based thermoplastic polyurethane (JF reinforced ASKLTPU) was prepared and characterized as a short-fiber-reinforced elastomer with carbon-neutrality and biodegradability. The acetylated softwood kraft lignin-based thermoplastic polyurethane (ASKLTPU) was prepared with polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a soft segment. Short jute fiber was modified using low-temperature pyrolysis up to the temperatures of 200, 250, and 300 °C in order to remove non-cellulosic compounds of jute fibers for enhancing interfacial bonding and reducing hydrophilicity with the ASKLTPU matrix. JF-reinforced ASKLTPUs with fiber content from 5 to 30 wt % were prepared using a melt mixing method followed by hot-press molding at 160 °C. The JF-reinforced ASKLTPUs were characterized for their mechanical properties, dynamic mechanical properties, thermal transition behavior, thermal stability, water absorption, and fungal degradability. The increased interfacial bonding between JF and ASKLTPU using low-temperature pyrolysis was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and also proved via interfacial shear strength measured using a single-fiber pull-out test. The mechanical properties, thermal properties, and water absorption aspects of JF-reinforced ASKLTPU were affected by increased interfacial bonding and reduced hydrophilicity from low-temperature pyrolysis. In the case of the degradation test, the PEG component of ASKLPTU matrix highly affects degradation and deterioration.

“…Among these fillers, nanostructured carbon materials exhibit clear advantages over the use of metal powders or fibers as filler, according to their high electrical and thermal conductivities, potentially low production cost, oxidation stability or low density [5]. The irruption of carbon nanotubes (CNT) in 1999 in this field [13], that was already explored with carbon blacks [14][15][16], graphite [17] and carbon fibres [18], has brought up the use of other carbon materials whose basic structural unit is also graphene such as carbon nanofibers (CNF) [19,20], fullerenes [21,22] or 2D graphene-based materials [23]. Carbon nanofilaments, and especially CNT, exhibit high electrical conductivity due to their graphite-like structure, low mass density and high aspect ratio, which allows both using them as a conductive filler using a very low content and reducing the electrical percolation threshold to extremely low values [6,13,[24][25][26].…”

Effect of oxygen and structural properties on the electrical conductivity of powders of nanostructured carbon materials

This work reports a study of the electrical conductivity under compression of nanostructured carbon powders with different physicochemical properties (texture, chemical-surface and morphology): a commercial carbon black (Vulcan XC-72R) and synthesized ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC), carbon nanocoils (CNC) and carbon nanofibers (CNF). The electrical conductivity was determined from the sample resistance under compaction (from 0.5 to 140 MPa) using the four-probe technique. A comparison of intrinsic and grain electrical conductivities (calculated according to the percolation theory and the general effective media approximation) was performed. Additionally, samples were subjected to chemical oxidation or graphitization treatments to evaluate the effect of oxygen content and structural properties on the electrical conductivity. In spite of the physicochemical differences of carbon materials, an exponential decrease of the electrical conductivity with the oxygen amount was stated. Finally, thermal treatment of OMC at 1500 °C led to a surprising increase in its conductivity due to the graphitization of the amorphous carbon structure of the original material and the oxygen removal.

We have synthesized unique flexible pressure‐sensitive nanocomposites by means of a solution mixing method, by adding multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) into a thermoplastic urethane (TPU) matrix along with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microbeads of various sizes. The influence of the various PMMA bead sizes on the pressure sensing properties of the nanocomposites was studied over a range of pressures. The PMMA microbeads were used to achieve an early percolation threshold at low loadings of MWCNTs. We used scanning electron microscopy to study the nanocomposites' morphology, and conducted differential scanning calorimetry analyses to investigate their thermal properties. The nanocomposites' electrical and thermal conductivities were also measured under various applied pressures. The nanocomposites displayed repeatable electrical responses under various applied pressures, demonstrating their suitability for use as pressure sensing materials. The proposed material is an ideal candidate for use in the preparation of pressure‐sensitive devices. POLYM. ENG. SCI. 56:1031–1036, 2016. © 2016 Society of Plastics Engineers
