The glass transition temperature remains similar (around 56 °C) for all investigated films. The filler dispersion, investigated by Transmission Electron Microscopy, has been found to be better with the melt-mixing/annealing process than with the solvent casting process. The water vapor permeability of nanocomposites prepared by solvent casting shows a decrease of the permeability with the addition of fillers whereas it is not the case for annealed nanocomposites for which the permeability is often higher than the one of the annealed unfilled PLA. The permeability cannot be only related to the filler dispersion state but results also from the filler/matrix interfacial properties that depend on the filler type with respect to the matrix, but also on the process used to obtain semi-crystalline nanocomposites. It has been shown that, for silica, halloysite nanotubes and graphene, the melt blending/annealing process has a detrimental impact on the filler/matrix interfacial properties and the water barrier properties which is not the case for montmorillonite for which a 60 % decrease in permeability is reached when using 10 vol% of fillers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20628,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Testing","volume":"149 ","pages":"Article 108862"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144089063","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}

In contrast, the dynamic method showed minimal speed dependency but was influenced by the slip angle and inflation pressure. It was confirmed that the accurate reproduction of three-axis contact forces from tire sensors is possible if calibration coefficients corresponding to the slip angle and inflation pressure are available.

To improve heat transfer characteristics while maintaining the excellent mechanical properties of CFRPs, we proposed a fabrication method for high-thermal-conductivity composites by stacking graphite sheets (GS) and stitching pitch-based carbon fibers into polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based carbon/epoxy composites. Thermal conductivity was determined by measuring specific heat, density, and thermal diffusivity, and the through-thickness reinforcement was evaluated using double-cantilever beam (DCB) tests. Results showed that the proposed fabrication approach significantly improved both in-plane and through-thickness thermal conductivity compared to untreated PAN-based composites. Specifically, the in-plane thermal conductivity increased from 2.09 W/m·K (pristine) to 54.91 W/m·K after GS insertion, representing an improvement of approximately 2527 %. The through-thickness thermal conductivity was enhanced from 0.59 W/m·K (pristine) to 46.38 W/m K by pitch-based carbon fiber stitching, corresponding to an increase of approximately 7761 %. Dynamic heat transfer analysis using a heat element and thermocouples clarified the formation of efficient heat conduction pathways by the combined use of GS and stitching fibers, enabling effective heat dissipation in both directions. Additionally, DCB Mode I testing showed that GS insertion significantly reduced the failure load from 66.7 N to approximately 7.8 N (an 88.3 % decrease). However, the introduction of pitch-based carbon fiber stitching effectively restored the mechanical properties, increasing the failure load to 75.5 N, an improvement of 867.9 % compared to GS specimens. These improvements are attributed to the formation of continuous lateral heat transfer pathways by GS insertion, which enhances in-plane conductivity, and the establishment of aligned vertical thermal paths by pitch-based carbon fiber stitching, which enhances through-thickness conductivity. Furthermore, while GS insertion reduces interlaminar mechanical strength due to poor resin bonding, pitch-based carbon fiber stitching compensates for this by providing mechanical reinforcement across the laminate. Thus, the proposed method effectively enhances the thermal performance of conventional PAN-based carbon/epoxy composites without severely compromising mechanical integrity, demonstrating its promise for advanced thermal management applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20628,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Testing","volume":"149 ","pages":"Article 108856"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144068702","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}

The response surface methodology (RSM) was used to statistically predict the performance of the modified polymer grouting material. The effects of four parameters (two-component mass ratio, tertiary amine catalyst content, organotin catalyst content, and water content) and their interactions on response variables (gelation time, polymer solids strength, cemented body strength) were investigated.

However, e-commerce, online retailers' markets, and social media platforms have promoted footwear cross-border counterfeiting along the footwear supply chain with economic implications for shoe producers and marketers, lowering the company's sales and profit margins. This study reports the first combined use of FTIR-ATR, non-sampling Raman probe spectroscopy and Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) for copolymer analyses of different classes of footwear. Specifically, one hundred and ninety-nine (199) shoe samples of various brand names—including high-end shoes, low-end shoes, heels, boots, men's dress shoes, flats, and sneakers—were collected via donation or purchasing from local stores and subjected to FTIR and Raman spectra measurement. The FTIR-ATR and Raman spectra of poly (ethylene vinyl acetate) ATEVA copolymers reference standards were collected and utilized to construct calibration curves. ATEVA copolymers reference standards and the insole footwear were further subjected to TGA to evaluate the polymers' thermal decomposition and stability pattern.
