Consequently, adjusting the switching temperature and stabilizing the equilibrium temperature are the most important issues for the application of polymer-based PTC composites as self-regulating heaters. In this study, HDPE of high molecular weight, low molecular weight and their blends were employed as matrix and the effects of high-relative-molecular-mass fraction on the PTC behavior and the temperature self-regulating stability of HDPE/chain-like nickel (c-Ni) composites were examined. By increasing the content of high-relative-molecular-mass fractions of the matrix, the volumetric expansion rate of the composites below the melting temperature was enhanced. The sensitivity of the c-Ni conductive network to changes in the matrix volume enabled the switching temperature of the PTC transition for the composites with increasing high-relative-molecular-mass fractions to decreased from 117.6 °C to 74 °C. Under a voltage of 30 V, the self-regulating equilibrium temperature can be adjusted within a wide range from 113 °C to 69 °C, and the highest equilibrium temperature, 110 °C, can be maintained in 12000s.

The efficient global optimization framework, which couples GA with RSM, maximizes specific energy absorption while ensuring adequate ballistic performance, thereby achieving the objective of lightweight design.

To solve this, the present research work evaluates Foam-Foam composite panels as an innovative strategy to give a second use to end-of-life foams as foamed small pieces. These light and porous panels were successfully fabricated using macro-foamed fillers (the “small pieces” as reinforcement) and a polyurethane foaming resin that functioned as a very soft and adhesive assembling matrix. The reinforcement foams included chips of end-of-use thong sandals and extruded foamed rods (production waste polymers), which were employed separately, obtaining different foam-foam composite panels. Extruded foamed strands comprised either rigid thermoplastic foams (polymethyl methacrylate, PMMA) or soft thermoplastic elastomer foams (Pebax). Remarkably, this foaming assembly method allowed a random-like fabrication of reproducible composites containing high-volume fractions of reinforcement foam wastes, ranging from 30 % to 50 %. Results showed that such Foam-Foam panels exhibit predominantly the properties of the dispersed phase, even if the reinforcing lumps were highly heterogeneous in shape, size and orientation. Moreover, some mechanical properties (eg, compression modulus and strength, energy absorption, and rebound coefficient) displayed outstanding reproducibility. Some of these materials exhibited a very low thermal conductivity (0.032 W/m/K), suggesting their potential as thermal isolating panels. Therefore, it can be claimed that “foaming assembly” is an efficient way to introduce new types of Foam-Foam composites and to valorize any type of foam when they are only available as disparate or small pieces, i.e., scraps, crushed waste, extrusion rods/strands, plastic rushes, etc.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10533,"journal":{"name":"Composites Communications","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 102413"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143854530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
