Abstract

Poor interfacial force is an important factor in preventing the development of fibers reinforced polymer composites. Fiber morphology design is an effective way to improve the interfacial property of composites. The development of nature has carried out the natural selection of survival of the fittest for organisms, and most of the surviving organisms have excellent structures and functions, which comes up with a new idea for the design of new reinforcement structure. Inspired by the cactus structure, we have prepared a new structural UHMWPE fiber reinforcement, which was characterized by a mass of cactus-like ZnO (C-ZnO) crystals decorated the UHMWPE fiber surface. The experimental results showed that the strength and toughness of C-ZnO UHMWPE fibers reinforced rigid polyurethane (RPU) composites were significantly improved. The satisfactory results were attributed to the cactus-like ZnO on the UHMWPE fiber surface, which could form a complex interfacial structure with the PRU matrix to increase the interface strength and the crack expansion paths.

仙人掌状氧化锌装饰超高分子量聚乙烯纤维可提高聚氨酯基复合材料的强度和韧性

界面力差是阻碍纤维增强聚合物复合材料发展的一个重要因素。纤维形态设计是改善复合材料界面性能的有效途径。自然界的发展对生物进行了优胜劣汰的自然选择，存活下来的生物大多具有优良的结构和功能，这为新型增强结构的设计提供了新思路。受仙人掌结构的启发，我们制备了一种新型超高分子量聚乙烯纤维增强结构，其特点是在超高分子量聚乙烯纤维表面装饰了大量仙人掌状氧化锌（C-ZnO）晶体。实验结果表明，C-ZnO 超高分子量聚乙烯纤维增强硬质聚氨酯（RPU）复合材料的强度和韧性得到了显著提高。这些令人满意的结果归功于超高分子量聚乙烯纤维表面的仙人掌状氧化锌，它可以与 PRU 基体形成复杂的界面结构，从而提高界面强度和裂纹扩展路径。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites is a fully peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles on a broad range of today''s reinforced plastics and composites including areas in: Constituent materials: matrix materials, reinforcements and coatings. Properties and performance: The results of testing, predictive models, and in-service evaluation of a wide range of materials are published, providing the reader with extensive properties data for reference. Analysis and design: Frequency reports on these subjects inform the reader of analytical techniques, design processes and the many design options available in materials composition. Processing and fabrication: There is increased interest among materials engineers in cost-effective processing. Applications: Reports on new materials R&D are often related to the service requirements of specific application areas, such as automotive, marine, construction and aviation. Reports on special topics are regularly included such as recycling, environmental effects, novel materials, computer-aided design, predictive modelling, and "smart" composite materials. "The articles in the Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Products are must reading for engineers in industry and for researchers working on leading edge problems" Professor Emeritus Stephen W Tsai National Sun Yat-sen University, Taiwan This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
