Samples were fully immersed in the mixture of GW (20:80) at 50°C, 70°C and 90°C for up to 80 days and periodically weighted. Results gathered revealed the occurrence of substantial changes especially for PA6 samples aged at 90°C. The long term ageing leads to the formation of ester species due to thermo-oxidation as pointed out by Infrared spectroscopy analysis. Moreover, dynamic mechanical analysis measurements showed that glycol water acted as an effective plasticizer in lowering the Tg of the polyamide 6. This plasticizer effect was confirmed by the gain of ductility at early stage of ageing for both materials (PA6 and PA6GF30). Nevertheless, after 80 days of ageing the effect of glycol water ageing is no longer physical in nature and an overall loss of mechanical properties was noticed. Indeed, an embrittlement of PA6 was measured that can be attributed to a decrease of the level of entanglements within the polymer. Nevertheless, for PA6GF30 material, the loss of strength and stiffness was the result of the interfacial debonding between the fibers and the matrix.","PeriodicalId":17446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Thermoplastic Composite Materials","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142189649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper begins by constructing a finite element microscopic model for induction heating that incorporates the actual fiber structure and matrix. It systematically analyzes the heating mechanism, temperature field distribution, and surface temperature hysteresis of CF-PP with different fiber weave structures during the heating process. Based on the observed temperature distribution and variation patterns during material heating, an improved particle swarm Fuzzy PID control method is proposed, which effectively reduces temperature overshoot and enhances the system’s resistance to disturbances. Experimental validation demonstrates the effectiveness of this algorithm for controlling the temperature of CF-PP plates during the induction heating process.

Photosensitive materials and shrinkage-induced internal tensions seems to be its major constraint. Additionally, SLS 3D printing has improved composite materials' electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties. It has drawbacks including permeable structures and internal tensions. In FDM 3D printing, mechanical and electrical qualities are improved for piezoelectric sensor manufacture. Warping and nozzle blockage require additional study. DIW’s versatility in constructing complicated structures with increased features for energy harvesting and sensor development is also mentioned. We identify ink development and printer nozzle clogging issues. The review concludes that inkjet printing can provide a variety of materials for flexible electronics.

This work examines the effects of varying percentages of CdS spheres on the structural characteristics, mechanical properties, surface/volume energy loss functions, dielectric constants, and linear/non-linear optical properties of PVB nanocomposite films. The findings confirmed the successful synthesis of sphere-like CdS with a cubic structural phase. The stress-strain curves of PVB and its composites with nano CdS spheres were examined. The PVB has a direct/indirect energy gap of 5.1 eV (4.1 eV). With a CdS doping level of 2% and 4%, the values correspondingly decreased to 4.76 eV (3.36 eV) and 4.49 eV (2.45 eV). The EU values for PVB, PVB-2 wt.% CdS, and PVB-4 wt.% CdS nanocomposite are 15.3, 11.2, and 14.1 meV, respectively. CdS nanospheres decreased the volume and surface energy losses (VELF & SELF) of PVB films. The research demonstrates that the mechanical properties and optical parameters of PVB/CdS nanocomposite films positively correlate with the concentration of CdS nanospheres.

Chitosan and Chi-Gly solutions prepared via glyoxal crosslinking were incorporated into recycled pulp suspensions at varying dosages.

The results demonstrated significant improvements in the tensile index, burst index, and bending resistance for the chitosan and Chi-Gly treated papers, with the Chi-Gly exhibiting superior reinforcement. Notably, the Chi-Gly treated paper exhibited a higher wet tensile index and lower water absorption capacity than the control.

The treated papers exhibited reduced hydrophobicity and pronounced antibacterial activity against E. coli (a gram-negative bacterium) and S. aureus (a gram-positive bacterium), with the Chi-Gly treatment outperforming chitosan.
