    Notes: Differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transform infrared, and solid-state carbon 13 nuclear magnetic resonance were used to study the silane coupling agent/epoxy resin interface. Penetration of epoxy into the hydrolyzed silane has been shown. The addition of a solvent can further increase the penetration of epoxy into the hydrolyzed silane by decreasing the viscosity of the epoxy. Bulk models of the gradient in the silane coupling agent/epoxy interface have shown that the concentration of silane and the degree of hydrolysis of the silane can determine the rigidity or mobility of the interphase region. When the silane is hydrolyzed, the possible formation of entanglements may increase the rigidity of the system and decrease the degree of phase separation through the formation of an interpenetrating network.

    Notes: Composites of polyethylene, ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM), and calcium carbonate are milled and analyzed by solid state dynamic mechanical spectroscopy. The torsion pendulum measurements show that the multicomponent composites exhibit complex viscoelastic behavior. In composites of polyethylene and calcium carbonate, the experimentally observed modulus enhancement is greater than that expected from the properties of the constituent materials, assuming well-dispersed inclusions. In composites of polyethylene, rubber, and calcium carbonate, interactions of the rubber with the filler surface are significant. Specifically, maleic anhydride modification of the EPDM results in rubber-filler interactions that drastically influence the properties of the composite. The maleic anhydride modification results in a morphology with more rubber around the filler particles and thus an enhanced rubber glass transition peak. The rubber-filler interaction has been attributed to salt formation at the filler surface. The interaction was also detected by solid state proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation experiments. Treatment of the filler surface with gamma-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (γ-APS) or gamma-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (γ-MPS) has significant influence on the dynamic mechanical properties.

    Notes: The effect of hot fuming nitric acid (FNA) treatment on the adhesion of ultra-high modulus polyethylene fabrics to an epoxy resin has been investigated. Mechanical and molecular characterization of the interface has been attempted. Fourier transform infrared diffuse transmittance spectroscopy has been used to monitor the chemical changes introduced by the FNA treatment as well as the nature of the interface between the fibers and the epoxy resin on the molecular level. Scanning electron microscopy has been used to examine the morphological consequences of the FNA treatment. Flexural and interlaminar shear properties of the composites have been measured as a function of the extent of surface treatment. Esterification of the FNA treated polyethylene fibers is used to examine the role of surface functionality to the mechanical performance.

    Notes: The Combination of reaction injection molding and pultrusion has resulted in a new processing technique, RIM-Pultrusion, Which has been used to produce a thermoplastic epoxy prepreg. This prepreg has been used to produce a long-fiber injection molded phenoxy/carbon fiber composite with near-Zero void content. A heat-activated curing system has been developed, which allows injecton molding of the prepreg to form a thermostet long-finer epoxy/carbon finber composite. The RIM- pultrusion conditions for producing an injection moldable prepreg are described. Capillary rheomety is used to study the epoxy resin to determine the proper molar ratio for RIM-Pultrusion. The long-fiber epoxy compostie is analyzed with dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Also., the impact strength and solvent resistance of the long-fiber composite are examined. The properties of the thermoset long-fiber epoxy xomposite are compared to those of a thermoplastic injection molded long-fiber phenoxy composite.

    Notes: FT-IR spectroscopy was used to collect spectra of γ-aminopropyltriethoxy silane (γ-APS) coupling agent deposited on KBr plates, modeling the silane interphase of composites, to study the effects of heating the γ-APS film under various environmental conditions. This coupling agent is used in fiber-reinforced epoxy composites. An aminebicarbonate salt forms when the sample is dried in a moist carbon dioxide environment giving rise to a series of bands from 2800 to 2000 centimeter-1 (cm-1) and bands at 1637 cm-1, 1330 cm-1, 696 cm-1, and 663 cm-1. The primary amine group is split into two bands at 1572 cm-1 and 1486 cm-1 in the NH3+ form. Heating removes the aminebicarbonate salt at temperatures above 95°C and condenses the γ-APS polymer to a polysilsesquioxane film. The aminebicarbonate salt partially reforms if the γ-APS film is stored in a moist CO2 environment. At temperatures above 120°C the primary amine of γ-APS is oxidized in air to imine groups. In the process of evolving the CO2 the polymer is further condensed and the amine groups can be converted to imines if the temperatures exceeds 120°C. Both processes reduce the reactivity of the coupling agent with the epoxy resin. The structure of the silane interphase must be controlled during the processing of the composite to yield materials with maximum properties.

    Notes: Reinforcement mechanisms of fiber-glass reinforced plastics (FRP) under wet conditions are reviewed with emphasis on molecular structures of glass/matrix interfaces. Included are studies on glass surface, the glass/coupling agent interface, silane coupling agents on glass surfaces as well as in solution, the coupling agent/matrix interface, extending to the interphase of particulate-filled composites, and matrix resin. For a better understanding of wet strength of FRP, the structures under dry conditions are extensively, reviewed. The chemical bonding theory still dominates other reinforcement theories. The importance of other factors such as orientation of silane coupling agents and the restriction of matrix polymer conformations are also considered. Based on recent development in spectroscopy, molecular level research of the glass/matrix interfaces has been initiated in the past decade, yet only a few spectroscopic investigations on the function of water have appeared. It is concluded that the correlation between spectroscopic investigations and mechanical properties of a FRP is indispensable.
