The ultimate properties of rubber products are strongly influenced by the size, size distribution, structure, surface area and surface selectivity of fillers. In this study, natural bauxite was coated with plasma polymer (polystyrene or polybutadiene) to modify surface properties. The coated and uncoated bauxites were tested as filler for SBR vulcanizates, using static and dynamic mechanical methods. The fracture surfaces of the vulcanizates were investigated by SEM. Plasma polymer modified bauxite loaded materials showed appreciable changes in hardness compared with samples loaded with uncoated bauxite. It was concluded that surface selectivity plays a more important role than surface area for bauxite in the SBR vulcanizates.

Mechanical Performance of Resol Type Phenolic Resin/Layered Silicate Nanocomposites
Tasan, C. Cem; Kaynak, Cevdet (Wiley, 2009-03-01)
Clay addition has been shown to affect polymer resins positively in terms of several physical and chemical properties, including mechanical performance, high temperature endurance and durability. These increases are limited only to relatively low concentrations of reinforcement phase, but at these low concentrations polymer/layered silicate nanocomposites (P/LS NC) have shown to exhibit higher mechanical performance than fiber reinforced polymer composites. This is among the several reasons that make P/LS N...
Flexibility improvement of short glass fiber reinforced epoxy by using a liquid elastomer
Kaynak, Cevdet; Tincer, Teoman (Elsevier BV, 2003-03-17)
In certain applications of fiber reinforced polymer composites flexibility is required. The aim of this study was to improve flexibility of short glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites by using a liquid elastomer. For this purpose, diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) based epoxy matrix was modified with hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB). A silane coupling agent (SCA) was also used to improve the interfacial adhesion between glass fibers and epoxy matrix. During specimen preparation, hardener and...
Interfacial Strength in Short Glass Fiber Reinforced Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene/Polyamide 6 Blends
Isitman, Nihat Ali; Aykol, Muratahan; Ozkoc, Guralp; Bayram, Göknur; Kaynak, Cevdet (Wiley, 2010-03-01)
The purpose of this study is to derive the apparent interfacial shear strength of short glass fiber reinforced acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene/polyamide 6 (PA6) blends with different PA6 contents. Tensile stress-strain curves and fiber length distributions are utilized within a continuum micromechanics approach which involves a unified parameter for fiber length distribution efficiency represented as a function of strain. The unique combination of predicted micromechanical parameters is capable of accuratel...
Strength of short fiber reinforced polymers: Effect of fiber length distribution
Aykol, Muratahan; Isitman, Nihat Ali; FIRLAR, Emre; Kaynak, Cevdet (Wiley, 2008-06-01)
In this study, the prediction of mechanical strength of short fiber reinforced plastics (SFRPs) is made possible by obtaining a Fiber Length Distribution (FLD) efficiency factor, eta(FLD), from the formerly known twofold discrete strengthening equation of Kelly-Tyson. The unified parameter eta(FLD) is developed involving both the effects of fiber breakage and resulting distribution, fiber volume fraction and fiber and interface properties, so that they can be incorporated into modified rule of mixtures (MRO...
Characteristics of dual-type electrochromic devices based on poly(ethylene oxide) copolymers
Yildiz, Huseyin Bekir; Sahin, Elif; Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Yagci, Yusuf (Wiley, 2007-05-01)
Dual-type polymer electrochromic devices based on [(3-thienyl)methylmethacrylate]-co-[p-vinyl benzyloxy poly(ethylene oxide)]/polythiophene and thiophene-capped poly(ethylene oxide)/polythiophene and ethylene dioxythiophene were constructed via electropolymerization. Spectroelectrochemistry, switching ability and stability of the devices were investigated using UV-visible spectrophotometry and cyclic voltammetry. These devices exhibit low switching; voltages and short switching times with reasonable switchi...
