Stiffness behaviour of injection moulded short glass fibre/impact modifier/polypropylene hybrid composites

The stiffness behaviour of injection moulded short glass fibre/impact modifier/polypropylene hybrid composites has been investigated in this work by theoretical predictions and experiments. Predictions from the self-consistent method were found to be in good agreement with test results for the impact modifier/polypropylene blends. By taking into account of the fibre orientation distributions in the skin and core layers, the values of Young's modulus for the skin and core layers were predicted by employing Eshelby's equivalent inclusion method and the average induced strain approach. The prediction of the values of Young's modulus for the whole sample was obtained by applying the simple mixture theory of laminated composites to the predicted results for the skin and core layers. Good correlation between predicted and experimental Young's modulus values were found.

PBT和PBS及其共混物结晶行为和力学性能的研究

聚对苯二甲酸丁二醇酯(PBT)是一种多用途的工程塑料。本文中，主要研究了PBT/Epoxy(E)合金及PBT/ABS-g-GMA/E合金的结晶行为和力学性能。 使用示差扫描量热法对PBT/Epoxy合金的等温结晶过程进行了研究。发现PBT和E03 609环氧树脂在所研究的组成范围内完全相容。环氧树脂起到异相成核剂的作用，使PBT产生更强的瞬间结晶三维生长趋势。PBT和环氧树脂的Flory相互作用参数为负值，说明PBT和环氧树脂形成了热力学上的稳定混合物。 使用几种方法对PBT/Epoxy合金的非等温结晶过程进行了研究，Ozawa方程不能充分描述PBT/Epoxy合金的非等温结晶过程；使用莫志深等人提出的方法，成功地描述了该过程。实验结果显示1％环氧树脂可使PBT/Epoxy合金结晶速率明显增加。 对PBT/Epoxy合金的热和力学性能进行了研究。1％环氧树脂的加入提高PBT/Epoxy合金的缺口冲击强度20%；从红外光谱分析，环氧树脂与PBT发生了相互作用；环氧树脂影响了PBT/Epoxy合金的力学性质和结晶行为。 采用乳液聚合技术将甲基丙烯酸环氧丙酯(GMA)引入到ABS的壳层，合成了环氧官能化的ABS共聚物(ABS-g-GMA)，将环氧树脂加入到PBT/ABS-g-GMA合金中，利用环氧官能团与PBT端羧基/羟基的反应达到增容PBT/ABS合金的目的。当环氧树脂的含量为5％时，PBT/ABS-g-GMA/E共混物比PBT/ABS-g-GMA共混物有更优异的力学性质。 研究了聚亚丙基碳酸酯(PPC)和聚丁二酸二甲酯(PBS)共混物的相容性、结晶和力学性能。结果显示组份PPC/PBS（90/10）可能产生部分相容。采用偏光显微镜观察了PPC/PBS共混物的形态，对于90/10 PPC/PBS共混物，发现很大数量的PBS小球晶分散在PPC基质中。力学结果显示90/10 PPC/PBS共混物拉伸强度比纯PPC提高了30％，冲击强度提高了11％。
