The energy absorption primarily depends on heel height, slope angle and load applied or body mass index of obese. Statistical analysis has been used to formulate the prediction of absorbed energy wherein a heel height of 30 mm with 20-degree angle provides optimum value with the incorporation of 120 D PU material. A coefficientof- determination (R2) value of 0.9406 confirms the suitability of the statistical regression model. Hence, the optimally designed footwear for higher energy absorption with 120 D PU foam material is recommendable for obese.","PeriodicalId":50083,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Polymer Materials","volume":"140 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76119132","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}

The samples of glass fabric, kevlar fabric and carbon fabric having 15wt%, 25wt%, 35wt%, 45wt% and 55wt % fabric content were prepared and tested following ASTM standards. Fracture toughness, peak load and increase in energy absorption are determined for the fabric-epoxy composites. Effect of temperature on storage modulus, loss modulus and tan delta values for various percentages of fabric epoxy composites are noticed and corresponding damping response behaviour is determined. The results revealed that reduction in strength at higher percentage of fabric content is due to improper bonding between fabric and epoxy resin. Higher peak load values and increased values of energy absorption are observed at lower percentage of fabric content. Kevlar fabric proves to be beneficial for specific energy absorption capability. Strength retention capability at higher temperature is far better for carbon fabric epoxy combinations. Composites with lower fabric content retain much higher temperature and peak load. Also the experimental findings are in close proximity with that of theoretical results.","PeriodicalId":50083,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Polymer Materials","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85332549","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}

Therefore, the current research focuses on synthesizing and mechanical characterization of particlereinforced PLA composites. The hot compression molding technique was used to fabricate PLA-based composites with 0, 2.5, 5, and 7.5 weight % of sawdust, rice husk, and bagasse particle reinforcements to enhance the performance of the PLA. The pellets of PLA matrix were taken with an average size of 3 mm and particle reinforcements of an average size of 50 m were used as the raw materials. After processing the PLA composites, microstructural and mechanical characterization studies were carried out to check the uniform distribution of the reinforced particles on the PLA matrix and the improvement in their strength, respectively. The results found hardness varied from 29.7 to 36.1 Shore D, tensile strength from 46.2 to 62.5 MPa, impact strength from 14.5 to 17.4 kJ/m2 and flexural strength from 78.9 to 93 MPa from all processed composites.

The products were analyzed by FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. All of the tested materials were nearly fully imidized after 25 h. The final polyimides possess high glass transition temperatures, are thermo-oxidatively stable and are soluble in common organic solvents as 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, tetrahydrofuran and chloroform; additionally, those prepared from the enantiomers show optical activity. The values of specific optical rotations for the polymers were higher than those for the corresponding monomers. However, the directions of their optical rotations were identical.

Modified membranes were then characterized with respect to physio-chemical properties like surface chemistry, porosity, wettability, surface roughness, morphology, etc. It was observed that the hydrophilicity/ wettability of membranes was increased upon surface modification by polyaniline which again depended on the nature of the oxidation catalyst used. Membranes developed using FeCl3 and CuCl2 as oxidants exhibit improved permeation, protein rejection, and antifouling properties, whereas decrement was observed in modified membrane performance using APS as an oxidant. Among all modified membranes, PSF/PANI-CuCl2 membrane demonstrates the most promising performance in terms of higher pure water flux and protein solution permeation flux i.e., 453.3 L/m2.h and 122.3 L/m2.h respectively. The PSF/PANI-CuCl2 membrane unveils superior resistance towards bio-fouling in comparison to the other modified membranes. Analytical techniques were used for the characterization of the modified membranes such as ATR, XPS, FESEM, and AFM. Contact angle measurement also supports the fact that PSF/PANI-CuCl2 membrane has a better chemical and physiological attachment to the polysulfone membrane surface.","PeriodicalId":50083,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Polymer Materials","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83315122","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}
