To this aim, diethylphosphatoethyltriethoxysilane (DPTS) was employed as phosphate alkoxysilane in a multistep procedure that involved multiple layers (from 1 to 6) depositions. The multi-layer coatings were applied by padding using sols containing appropriate molar ratios of the precursor, anhydrous ethanol, catalyst, and hydrochloric acid. Moreover, the synergism P-N on flame retardancy of cotton was assessed by introducing 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) as an N-donor precursor in DPTS sols. The effects of the catalyst during the alkoxide reaction and the silica amount applied by sol-gel treatment on the thermo-oxidative behavior of the treated fabrics were deeply studied. The creation of the silica skeleton on the cotton surface and the interactions between the cellulosic fibres and the doped layer were investigated using FT-IR ATR spectroscopy. Moreover, thermal and thermo-oxidative stability, flammability properties, and combustion behavior of the sol-gel treated cotton fabrics were also studied, proving the effectiveness of the sol-gel coating in the fire protection of the cellulosic substrate.","PeriodicalId":18262,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science Forum","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140228738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A promising method to reuse the waste fibre materials in a structural component with excellent mechanical properties is the processing of recycled CF (rCF) and thermoplastic fibres into hybrid yarns. Spinning of friction spun yarns consisting of more than 90% rCF and containing almost no thermoplastic fibres that are suitable for thermoset composites, currently leads to high fibre damage and low yarn quality and is, therefore, addressed in this project. The technology is reported in another paper. One of the limiting factors for drapability of textiles is the stretchability of continuous fibres and draping of the semi-finished textile products for complex geometries is still error-prone. Friction spun yarns exhibit significantly higher yarn elongations due to sliding mechanisms between the fibres. The deformation properties of friction spun yarns are significantly influenced by fibre-fibre interactions and depend on a variety of process and material parameters. In the following, micromechanical finite element models of the spun yarns are created by using beam elements. Monte Carlo method is used to model local variabilities in the yarns. The models are then used to simulate yarn behaviour under deformation and to investigate the influence of various process parameters.","PeriodicalId":18262,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science Forum","volume":"59 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140230298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When compared to traditional construction materials, FRP has higher strength and stiffness due to the high mechanical properties of reinforcing fibers such as carbon or glass. However, the properties of FRP are dependent on the alignment of fibers within the composite, with deviations leading to reduced strength and stiffness. Eddy current testing is a non-destructive technique used to visualize carbon fibers in the composite and assess the impact of local fiber orientation on the structural properties of FRP. This study aims to understand the influence of local fiber orientation on tensile strength and elastic modulus by producing composites with defined fiber orientations, analyzing them with eddy current testing, and assessing their mechanical properties through tensile tests. The measured fiber orientations are then used to validate a finite element model, in which the actual, measured fiber orientation is applied to the simulation and correlated with the mechanical properties. In contrast to previous published studies measured fiber orientation is used, which as shown in this work, differs from the theoretically implemented fiber orientation.","PeriodicalId":18262,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science Forum","volume":"19 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140229106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in order to take full advantage of their high potential, it is necessary to ensure that the filaments run in a straight line. In order to guarantee this straight filament course, the highly efficient multiaxial warp knitting process is used for the production of 2D non-crimp fabrics (NCF) as textile preforms. In various industrial applications, most structures have complex 3D geometries. Therefore, the 2D textile needs to be shaped for reinforcement, which often results in a rearrangement of the filament orientation. Consequently, the 3D shaping process has to be taken into account during the textile production or in the shaping process itself in order to guarantee the highest mechanical properties. Using the example of lattice girders for concrete reinforcement, a new approach for the fabrication of 3D textile lattice girders in a continous shaping process is presented. The results of the production tests of the developed technology approach show no apparent filament damage and exact roving orientation with no inadvertent deflection, compression or bulging, indicating a precise and gentle shaping process. The developed technology contributes to the future reduction of the production costs of 3D textile reinforcements.","PeriodicalId":18262,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science Forum","volume":"7 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140229714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chitosan-arabic gum microcapsules containing sea buckthorn fruit oil were prepared and they were treated on cotton and nylon/PU knit respectively by an experimental design of 2 different treatment types (bath immersion method and screen printing method) Χ 5 different concentration levels of microcapsules (20, 30, 40, 50, and 60% on the weight of fabric). As comfort properties, stiffness, water-vapor permeability, and air permeability were measured objectively. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated by calculating the percentage reduction of the bacterium. As results, stiffness values of the treated knits were slightly higher than those of untreated ones, which was thought not to affect touch in wear. The values of water-vapor permeability and air permeability of both cotton and nylon after the treatment were not significantly decreased. These results means that microcapsules loaded on the knits might not worsen their wear comfort. As for antimicrobial activity, more than 90% of bacterial reduction rates against S. Aureus were shown in cotton jersey by screen printing even after repeated laundry while those was found in nylon/PU tricot by bath immersion.

However, manufacturing of yarns with high rCF content (>90%) required for thermoset composites is still not realizable due to high shortening (≥ 70%) in fibre length of rCF, which occurs during different processing steps of spinning. The reason lies in low shear strength, smooth fibre surface, small diameter and high brittleness of rCF. In addition to this, lack of crimp in rCF leads to drafting error during drawing and spinning process. Therefore, there is a high demand on rCF yarns for thermoset composites, as around 70% of composites are produced based on thermoset matrix. In this paper, yarns consisting of staple rCF with high rCF content (>90 weight%) are developed on DREF-friction spinning and wrap spinning technologies. For the production of yarns, slivers with different rCF content are produced using carding and drawing machine. The effect of different spinning parameters suction air pressure for DREF friction spun yarns and yarn twist for wrap spun yarns is investigated and their effect on tensile properties of yarn is analysed. The results show that the tensile properties of yarns can be adjusted to a wide range varying the yarn structure and spinning parameters.","PeriodicalId":18262,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science Forum","volume":"58 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140231031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The corrosion study was carried out by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and Tafel polarization. The |Z|0.1Hz value, Rct, and Rp of the layered/clay epoxy coatings containing 1.5 phr of HNT and MMT exhibited the best anticorrosion performance compared to other clay content levels. The |Z|0.1Hz value for the epoxy coating filled with 1.5 phr of MMT (M1.5) is 2.132 × 109 Ω·cm², while it is slightly higher for H1.5 coatings, i.e., 2.629 × 109 Ω·cm². Water absorption trends were consistent with EIS and Tafel polarization studies. The presence of highly compatible nanocontainers clay reduced the total free volume and promoted cross-linking, enhancing anticorrosion performance. Thermal Gravimetry Analysis (TGA) showed that a 1.5 phr loading of MMT in layered/clay epoxy coating demonstrated better thermal stability than a coating embedded with HNT. This improvement can be attributed to the barrier effect of MMT, which retards the diffusion of oxygen molecules into the coating.","PeriodicalId":18262,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science Forum","volume":"128 37","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140079036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
