    Notes: The hygrothermal behavior of carbon fiber-reinforced poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) and poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS) composites subjected to moisture and temperature is investigated in this study. The properties of both composites exposed to temperature/humidity and immersed in water for extended periods are studied. Properties studied include moisture sorption, crystallinity, dynamic mechanical response, tensile strength, and flexural strength. Both the PEEK/C.F. and the PPS/C.F. composites exhibit good moisture/temperature resistance and property retention after hygrothermal exposure. The diffusivities and the equilibrium moisture absorption are measured at 60, 70, 80°C with 85% R.H. (relative humidity). A Fickian type diffusion is observed at all exposures. Crystallinity increase of the composites is found for the PPS/C.F. composites exposed to 80°C with 85% R.H. environment and is correlated with the damping properties in the dynamic mechanical study. However, the hygrothermal effect on the crystallinity and the glass transition temperature of the PEEK/C.F. composites is negligible. Mechanical properties of the PEEK/C.F. composites decrease slightly with the increase of temperature/moisture and exposure period. Mechanical property reductions of the PPS/C.F. composites decrease with the increase in exposure temperature when subjected to a similar environment; this is due to the relatively complete molecular relaxation and additional crystallization at higher temperatures.

    Notes: The effect of physical aging on the penetration impact toughness and Mode I interlaminar fracture toughness of continuous carbon fiber (C.F.) reinforced poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) and poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS) composites has been investigated by using an instrumented falling weight impact (IFWI) technique and a double cantilever beam (DCB) test. Composite materials studied are aged below their glass transition temperature (Tg) at various periods. Initiation force and energy of damage, failure propagation energy, impact energy and ductility index (D.I.) are reported. The Mode I critical value of strain energy release rate (GIC) of the unidirectional carbon fiber-reinforced PEEK (APC-2) composites is obtained. Results show that aging has a significant effect on the toughness of both composite materials. Energy absorbed during impact decreases with the increase of aging temperature and period. The PEEK/C.F. composites exhibit a higher retention of impact toughness than that of the PPS/C.F. composites after aging; however, the PPS/C.F. composites show a much higher ductility index. The Mode I fracture mechanism of the APC-2 composite is a combination of stable and unstable failure and shows a “stick-slip” behavior. Owing to the formation of a relative rigid structure, the fracture toughness (GIC) of APC-2 decreased with the increase of aging temperature and period.

    Notes: The effectiveness of applying silent discharge plasmas (SDP) for destroying and removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from gas streams is experimentally evaluated with a laboratory-scale reactor. The VOCs selected for study include toluene and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). Direct collision with energetic electrons and reaction with generated gas-phase radicals are two major mechanisms responsible for destruction and removal of VOCs from gas streams. Operating parameters investigated include applied voltage, gas residence time, and temperature and composition of the gas stream. Experimental results indicate that the removal efficiency of toluene and MEK achieved with SDP can be enhanced by operating the system at a higher gas temperature and applied voltage due to the generation of more energetic electrons and radicals. O2 is essential for removing VOCs from gas streams with SDP. More than 80% removal efficiencies were achieved with this system for both toluene and MEK. SDP can potentially serve as an alternative control technology for removing VOCs from gas streams.

    Notes: The J-integral method to determine the fracture toughness of tough and ductile polymeric materials previously developed has been applied to the elastomer-modified polycarbonates. This investigation compares three different methods to obtain Jc: the conventional crack growth length, the stress whitening zone, and the newly developed hysteresis method. Jc values obtained from these three comparative methods are fairly close. The hysteresis method has the advantage over the other two methods of obtaining Jc without requiring the measurement of the crack growth length or the stress whitening zone, therefore avoiding the controversy in defining crack blunting. Results also indicate that the effect of elastomer quantity in polycarbonate on Jc is insignificant as long as the crack is in a stable condition. Higher elastomer contents in polycarbonate result in higher dJ/dΔa, dJ/dΔl, and tearing modulus (Tm). This indicates that the elastomer toughening mechanism is due to the increase of the energy required for crack growth extension. The hysteresis loss energy is directly related to the size of the crack tip plastic zone, and the presence of more elastomer indeed increases the crack tip plastic zone, thus making the polycarbonate tougher. Besides, the presence of elastomer tends to increase the crack initiation displacement and shift the failure modes from an unstable fracture. Jc and the criterion for crack initiation based on rate change of hysteresis energy are discussed in detail.

    Notes: The block copolyetheresters with hard segments of poly(butylene terephthalate) and soft segments of poly(tetramethylene ether) were prepared by a terephthalic acid (TPA) process in the presence of some salts. The preparations of a block copolyetherester under various conditions were first studied in a 1 L stainless steel reactor to find the best method. Then, the preparations of four block copolyetheresters were run in a pilot plant comprising a 200 L polyesterification reactor and a 200 L polymerization reactor under the suitable condition. The presence of some salts reduced the formation of tetrahydrofuran (THF), and also reduced the total reaction time in the pilot plant. The thermal properties and various mechanical properties of the block copolytheresters prepared by the pilot plant were investigated to evaluate the feasibility of this method.

    Notes: The fracture toughness of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) was determined by three J-integral methods, ASTM E813-81, E813-87, and by hysteresis. The critical J values (J1c) obtained are fairly independent of the specimen thickness, ranging from 10 to 15 mm. ASTM E813-81 and hysteresis methods result in comparable J1c values, whereas the ASTM E813-87 was ∼40% to 50% higher. The critical displacement determined from the plots of hysteresis (energy or ratio) and the true crack grow length vs. displacement are close. This indicates the critical displacement determined by the hysteresis method is indeed the displacement at onset of crack initiation, and the corresponding J1c represents a physical event of crack initiation. The elastic storage energy. The input energy minus the hysteresis energy, is the most important factor in determining the onset of crack initiation. The critical elastic storage energy (at the beginning of crack growth) was found close to the J1c obtained from the E813-81 or the hysteresis method.
