Abstract
The mechanical properties of silica cloth subjected to polar aprotic solvent treatment under ambient conditions, pressurization, and thermal exposure are investigated. The selected solvents of chloroform (CHCl3), N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), and methanol (MeOH) exhibit distinct adsorption behaviors, influencing their mechanical reinforcement effects. Under ambient conditions, MeOH-treated samples exhibit the highest tensile strength due to strong hydrogen bonding, followed by NMP and CHCl3. Under 10 bar pressurization, NMP-treated samples surpass MeOH and CHCl3 in tensile strength, indicating enhanced interfacial reinforcement. However, heat treatment at 180°C results in a significant decline in tensile strength, with CHCl3-treated samples demonstrating superior mechanical stability compared to NMP and MeOH, attributed to solvent desorption effects. Elongation trends follow a similar degradation pattern, with MeOH-treated samples experiencing the most pronounced brittleness. Tensile modulus analysis reveals that NMP and MeOH treatments reduce structural stiffness due to their dependence on interfacial bonding, whereas CHCl3-treated samples retain a higher modulus. Lastly, scanning electron microscopy analysis confirms the presence of solvent-induced degradation mechanisms, which contribute to tensile strength deterioration. These findings illustrate that adsorption strength governs mechanical behavior under ambient conditions, pressurization enhances interfacial reinforcement, and thermal exposure compromises solvent-induced strengthening.
