Abstract
ABSTRACT Due to low surface energy, high chemical inertness, and poor interfacial properties of ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers, it was difficult to achieve good adhesion with the matrix interface. Surface coating modification based on polydopamine (PDA) was widely applied to build high‐performance and specifically functional surface modifications. In order to improve the interfacial adhesion between UHMWPE fibers and epoxy resin, this study used a one‐step process with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) as a template to deposit a hybrid coating of PDA and N ‐(2‐aminoethyl)‐3‐aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (KH792)/3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH550)/nano silicon carbide (SiC) on the surface of UHMWPE fibers. Additionally, corona treatment was applied to increase oxygen‐containing functional groups on fibers while also improving the processing technology of composites. Due to the polymerization of PDA, the deposition of SiC, and the hydrolysis‐condensation of silanes, the nanohybrid coating can provide rich connection points and nanoparticles for hybrid fabrics without affecting the inherent strength of fibers. Corona improved surface roughness, and hybrid coatings enhanced the interfacial adhesion between the resin matrix and fibers. The UHMWPE fiber/epoxy composite material after improved composite technology exhibited excellent mechanical properties. Compared with untreated composite laminates, interfacial shear strength (IFSS) was increased by 88.81%, flexural strength was enhanced by 87.89%, impact strength was improved by 64.39%, and tensile strength was raised by 26.58%. The study showed that the nanohybrid coating co‐deposited with PDA and corona enhanced the interfacial bond between epoxy resin and UHMWPE fibers, increased relative friction at the fracture interface, and improved load transfer between UHMWPE fibers and matrix.
期刊介绍:
Polymers for Advanced Technologies is published in response to recent significant changes in the patterns of materials research and development. Worldwide attention has been focused on the critical importance of materials in the creation of new devices and systems. It is now recognized that materials are often the limiting factor in bringing a new technical concept to fruition and that polymers are often the materials of choice in these demanding applications. A significant portion of the polymer research ongoing in the world is directly or indirectly related to the solution of complex, interdisciplinary problems whose successful resolution is necessary for achievement of broad system objectives.
Polymers for Advanced Technologies is focused to the interest of scientists and engineers from academia and industry who are participating in these new areas of polymer research and development. It is the intent of this journal to impact the polymer related advanced technologies to meet the challenge of the twenty-first century.
Polymers for Advanced Technologies aims at encouraging innovation, invention, imagination and creativity by providing a broad interdisciplinary platform for the presentation of new research and development concepts, theories and results which reflect the changing image and pace of modern polymer science and technology.
Polymers for Advanced Technologies aims at becoming the central organ of the new multi-disciplinary polymer oriented materials science of the highest scientific standards. It will publish original research papers on finished studies; communications limited to five typewritten pages plus three illustrations, containing experimental details; review articles of up to 40 pages; letters to the editor and book reviews. Review articles will normally be published by invitation. The Editor-in-Chief welcomes suggestions for reviews.
