    Notes: Abstract Metal Matrix Composites (MMC's) reinforced with continuous fibers were generally fabricated by a foil-sandwich technique or by liquid metal infiltration. Liquid metal infiltration may be used to cast final shapes in molds containing fiber preforms. It is also used to make composite wire from which may be fabricated panels and shapes by hot-press diffusion bonding or pultrusion. The major drawback of this method is that the molten matrix must wet the fiber for successful infiltration to occur, requiring special fiber surface treatments or matrix additives, and that, molten metals generally dissolve or degrade the fibers, necessitating a barrier coating on the fibers. All these problems can be solved using carbon fibers coated with metallic layers, e.g. nickel. This work analyses an easy method to produce modified carbon fibers by electroplating and the process of its recristallization. The topography of the growth front of the deposit has been studied. At temperatures higher than about 300° C an annealing under vacuum is required, because of the high reactivity of metal coating, nevertheless the heat treatment of metal deposit produces always an embrittled material.

    Notes: The possible multimodal sorption mechanisms in glassy amorphous poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) are presented. By varying the penetrant-polymer affinity, experimental temperature, and external solvent activity, a broad range of sorption behaviors from ideal Fickian diffusion to limiting relaxation controlled kinetics is observed. In particular, water, methylene chloride, and n-heptane sorption kinetics are analyzed and interpreted on the basis of the multiple transport mechanisms. Low uptake liquid n-heptane sorption follows ordinary Fickian diffusion. Analogously, water vapor at low activity, is sorbed in small amounts in the same limiting mode while, at higher activities, the moderately higher penetrant uptakes induce slow relaxation coupled with ideal Fickian diffusion. The highly interacting methylene chloride leads to ideal Fickian diffusion only at very low activities, while anomalous non-ideal Fickian diffusion and limiting Case II and diffusion controlled swelling are observed at moderate and at high solvent activities, respectively. Limiting Case II sorption of methylene chloride in PEEK has been observed only at a very low temperature (-32°C). The optical microscopy observations of cryogenically fractured samples contacted with liquid methylene chloride at 5, 20 and 36°C revealed the presence of a sharp front moving linearly with the square root of time. Solvent induced crystallization in methylene chloride swollen samples was detected by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS). Finally, sorption from liquid methylene chloride/n-heptane solutions with varying compositions are presented. The progressive increase of the more high sorbing methylene chloride concentration in the solutions, leads to the same wide variety of sorption behavior observed in the methylene chloride vapor sorptions. The gas chromatographic (GC) analysis indicated that the presence of methylene chloride enhanced the n-heptane sorption in the polymer.

    Notes: Dynamic-mechanical and dielectric characterization of the cold crystallization of PEEK has been performed in order to develop a non-destructive evaluation method of crystallinity in thermoplastic matrices. The Avrami approach is applied here to describe the Poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) crystallization kinetics after an appropriate reduction of dynamic-mechanical and dielectric parameters. Avrami exponents obtained from dielectric characterization are comparable with those obtained with DSC measurements reported in literature, while the exponents obtained from the dynamic-mechanical characterization are higher, reflecting also changes in the aspect ratio of the growing crystals. Variations in the glass transition temperature detected during cold crystallization are analyzed and analogies between PEEK and PET are discussed.

    Notes: Water sorption in epoxy based materials was analyzed by dielectric spectroscopy using remote sensors. A method to determine diffusion coefficients from the changes in permittivity during water absorption is proposed and was verified experimentally by comparison with standard water gain measurements. Although the technique is limited by electrode polarization phenomena, it is sensitive to the presence of water molecules and is capable of detecting different levels of water concentration as a function of frequency. The utilization of remote sensors demonstrated the capability of dielectric analysis to be applied both in the laboratory environment, and on a larger scale, as a nondestructive technique for monitoring environmental changes in actual polymer matrix composite parts.

    Notes: Phase behavior, thermal, rheological and mechanical properties plus morphology have been studied for a binary polymer blend. The blend is phenolphthalein polyethersulfone (PES-C) with a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (LCP), a condensation copolymer of p-hydroxybenzoic acid with ethylene terephthalate (PHB-PET). It was found that these two polymers from optically isotropic and homogeneous blends by means of a solvent casting method. The homogeneous blends undergo phase separation during heat treatment. However, melt mixed PES-C/PHB-PET blends were heterogeneous based upon DSC and DMA analysis and SEM examination. Addition of LCP in PES-C resulted in a marked reduction of melt viscosity and thus improved processability. Compared to pure PES-C, the charpy impact strength of the blend containing 2.5% LCP increased 2.5 times. Synergistic effects were also observed for the mechanical properties of blends containing 〈 10% LCP. Particulates, ribbons, and fibrils were found to be the typical morphological units of PHB-PET in the PES-C matrix, which depended upon the concentration of LCP and the processing conditions.

    Notes: Thermal treatment of amorphous poly(aryl-ether-ether ketone) below the glass transition temperature has been studied. The extent of aging was measured by differential scanning calorimetry. X-ray and Fourier transform infrared spectra were used to study both melt-cast and annealed samples. The effect of the thermal treatment of viscoelastic response was evaluated using creep tests. Aging has been shown to be accompanied by a marked change in the transport properties of the material.

    Notes: The rheological and thermokinetic aspects of the cure of epoxy based composite laminates are analyzed by means of a computer program developed using the heat transfer and heat generating characteristics of a polymerizable system. In particular, the temperature and degree of cure influence on the resin viscosity have been first considered, then the temperature profiles, calculated according to an appropriate kinetic and heat transfer modeling, have been used to predict the corresponding viscosity profiles. Molecular and thermocalorimetric parameters are used for the prediction of the theoretical chemorheological behavior. Commercial epoxy systems commonly used in the preparation of carbon fiber laminates have been characterized by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic viscosity measurements and the results are compared with the theoretically predicted values.

    Notes: The chain orientation, induced by hot drawing, decreases the sorption capacity of polystyrene due to the tighter packing of macromolecules in the oriented material. Density measurements and decay of birefringence indicate that the loss of orientation Is a much more rapid phenomenon than the thermal shrinkage of the polymer.

    Notes: Thermotropic liquid crystal polymers have been modeled as an array of highly ordered polyhedric nematic domains immersed in a less-ordered, nearly isotropic matrix. A function has been defined that expresses the elastic moduli of drawn fibers as a function of orientation and geometry of the nematic domains. When such a material is hot drawn in extension, the domains orient and elongate to produce an orthotropic fibrous phase. Equations are proposed to relate the elastic moduli of the fibers to the draw ratio and the extrusion conditions. Upon annealing of the hot drawn fibers, shrinkage occurs. It is proposed that the shrinkage is the result of a physical transformation from the fibrous state back to the nematic domain structure present before extrusion and drawing. The Avrami equation is used to describe the nucleation and growth processes controlling the shrinkage at constant annealing temperature. The model is shown to correlate experimental data on the elastic properties and the shrinkage of hot drawn PET/PHB60 liquid crystal polymer with the processing conditions.

    Notes: Blends of polycarbonate (PC) and poly(ethylene terephthalate-co-p-oxybenzoate) (PET/PHB60) were prepared by melt-blending. Physical and/or chemical interactions between the two phases of the system were studied by thermal analysis and infrared spectroscopy. Rheological measurements in shear flow were carried out both in the low and high shear rate regions in the temperature range of the existence of the mesophase. At low liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) content, the blends showed flow curves similar to those of the unfilled PC, while at higher LCP percentages the rheological behavior of the pure LCP was resembled. Moreover, in the whole shear range, the viscosity values of such blends were in between those of the pure polymers. The influence of the addition of 10% LCP on the mechanical properties of the PC was investigated. Fiber-spinning was performed under different experimental conditions, and it was found that opportune drawing conditions are necessary to improve the modulus of the matrix. Morphological analyses of the pure LCP and of the blends were related to the rheological and mechanical behavior of these systems. While the LCP exhibited an elevated dimensional stability, the inclusion of the LCP in PC matrix did not improve the dimensional stability of the blends.
