In this work, effects of matrix and interface modification on the mechanical behavior of short carbon fiber-reinforced diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA)-based epoxy composite were studied. For this purpose, fiber surfaces were treated by a silane coupling agent (SCA) and the epoxy matrix was modified with hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB).

Studies on the modification of interphase/interfaces by use of plasma in certain polymer composite systems
Akovali, G; Dilsiz, N (Wiley, 1996-04-01)
Calcium carbonate and carbon fiber surfaces were modified by use of a series of plasma polymers at different selected plasma conditions, and the effect of surface modification, mainly on the mechanical properties of composite systems prepared, was investigated. The matrices for the composite systems employed were polypropylene and epoxy, for the chalk and C fiber, respectively. Mechanical and thermal studies and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) pictures revealed that inclusion surfaces, being independent ...
Preparation and Comparison of Two Electrodes for Supercapacitors: Pani/CNT/Ni and Pani/Alizarin-Treated Nickel
Koysuren, Ozcan; Du, Chunsheng; Pan, Ning; Bayram, Göknur (Wiley, 2009-07-15)
Polyaniline in emeraldine form was synthesized in the presence of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and the electrochemical capacitance performance of thus formed composite as electrode material has been Studied. The polyaniline/carbon nanotubes (Pani/CNT) composite is found to result in a higher specific capacitance than that of either composite constituent, attributable to the double-layer capacitance behavior of the nanotubes in the Pani/CNT system. However, once assembled into a two-electrode cell, l...
Synthesis and characterization of conducting and non-conducting polymers of sodium 2,4,6-trichlorophenolate by microwave initiation
Cakmak, O; Basturkmen, M; Kisakurek, D (Elsevier BV, 2004-07-22)
A novel synthesis of poly(dichlorophenylene oxide) and a conducting polymer were achieved simultaneously from 2,4,6-trichlorophenol in a very short time, using microwave energy. The characterizations of poly(dichlorophenylene oxide) and the conducting polymer were performed by DSC, TGA, elemental analysis, FTIR, H-1 and C-13 NMR, SEM, MS and X-ray diffraction spectrometer analyses. The combined molecular weight of the polymer, 1.8 x 10(4), was determined by using viscometry measurement. Poly(dichlorophenyle...
Characterization of poly(dihalophenylene oxides) in solution
Kısakürek, Duygu; Binboğa, Nevin; Harrod, John F. (Elsevier BV, 1987-9)
Several different dihalophenylene oxide polymers prepared by thermal decomposition of halophenoxo copper complexes were studied in toluene using light scattering. For polymers of molecular weight around 5 × 104, those obtained from 4-bromo-2,6-dichlorophenoxide, 2-chloro-4,6-dibromophenoxide and 2,4,6-tribromophenoxide appear to be relatively linear with higher values of , whereas those obtained from 2,4,6-trichlorophenoxide and 2-bromo-4,6-dichlorophenoxide appear to have branched or condensed structures w...
Understanding the influence of hydrogen bonding and diisocyanate symmetry on the morphology and properties of segmented polyurethanes and polyureas: Computational and experimental study

Quantum mechanical calculations (QMC) and dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) siniulations were utilized to understand the nature of the short and long-range hydrogen bonding and its influence on the microphase morphology in segmented polyurethanes and segmented polyureas prepared without chain extenders through the stoichiometric reactions of hydroxy or amine terminated poly(tetramethylene oxide) (PTMO-1000) with 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate (PPDI) and 1,3-phenylene diisocyanate (MPDI). The possibility of lo...
