The Structure and Performance of Short Glass Fiber/High-Density Polyethylene/Polypropylene Composite Pipes Extruded Using a Shearing–Drawing Compound Stress Field

Abstract

Glass fiber reinforced polyolefin composite materials have many advantages regarding their performance and have been widely used in many fields. However, there are few reports on the simultaneously bidirectional self-enhancement of glass fiber reinforced polyethylene/polypropylene composite pipe. To self-reinforce the pipe’s circular and axial properties simultaneously, short glass fiber reinforced high-density polyethylene/polypropylene (SGF/HDPE/PP) pipes were extruded using a shearing–drawing two-dimensional compound stress field pipe-extrusion device. The effects of the rotating speed of the rotating shear sleeve on the orientation, heat behavior, microstructure, and tensile strength of the pipe were investigated in this paper. The microstructure was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the crystal diffraction was analyzed using a polycrystalline X-ray diffractometer (WAXD), the heat behavior was measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and the tensile strength was tested using a universal electronic tensile testing machine. The results showed that the shear induction effect induced by the shear rotating promoted the formation of the oriented structure of the crystal plate and SGFs along the circular and axial directions of the pipe simultaneously. Furthermore, it increased the crystallinity of the system, and self-improved the pipe’s circular and axial tensile strength at the same time.

“…The surface morphology and chemical composition of ZrO 2 can be improved to enhance osseointegration (22)(23)(24). ZrO 2 toughened alumina (ZTA) is a kind of material combining the unique characteristics of ZrO 2 and alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), which has been widely used.…”

Interfacial performance and build orientation of 3D‐printed poly(ether‐ketone‐ketone) reinforced by continuous carbon fiber

“…19 But CCF often has poor activity, which makes it difficult to form an effective interfacial bonding with the matrix, leading to poor mechanical properties. 20 To improve interfacial bonding between reinforcement and matrix, sizing carbon fiber has been prepared by solution impregnation. 9,[21][22][23] In addition, preparing CFRTPCs by in situ impregnated FDM is more difficult to fully impregnate the fiber bundles with resins due to the short melting range.…”

Enhancement of mechanical properties of high modulus polypropylene grade for multilayer sewage pipes applications

“…They also have additional advantages over rigid materials, such as; no brittle pipe failures due to overloading, low pipe weight, lower risk of leakage at the connection points, excellent chemical resistance, long lifetime, an environmentally friendly solution of the installed pipe systems, possibility to bend the plastic pipe to be installed in curves, relatively high pipe length, and easy jointing. [5][6][7][8][9][10] A finite element model (FEM) of a polyethylene (PE) pipe loaded by internal pressure, residual stresses and soil loads was developed by Poduska et al 11 According to their study, the lifetime of PE pipes exceeds 100 years. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), high density polyethylene (HDPE), and glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) were widely employed in sewage applications.…”
