Melt extruded versus extrusion compression molded glass-polypropylene long fiber thermoplastic composites

Long fiber thermoplastic (LFT) composites are processed either with extrusion compression or fiber injection processes. The properties of LFT materials are highly influenced by processing techniques, which lead to different porosity contents, fiber length distributions, and fiber orientation distributions. It is important to understand the various LFT processing techniques…

Performance evaluation of Ag/SnO2 nanocomposite materials as coating material with high capability on antibacterial activity

The performance of silver/tin oxide (Ag/SnO2) nanocomposites as coating materials with high antibacterial capability is evaluated in this study. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and density functional theory (DFT) analyses were used to characterize the nanocomposite structures and confirm that Ag (1 1 1) and SnO2 (1 1 0) form nanorods of Ag/SnO2. The antibacterial proper…

Lightning Strike Damage of CF/Epoxy Composite Laminates with Conductive Polymer Layers

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) are prone to severe damages by lightning strikes due to their low electrical conductivity. Current lightning strike protection (LSP) technology generally consists of metal foils/films on the surface of composite airframe structures. The present work aims to introduce all polymeric conductive layer for LSP of CFRP structures. Intrins…

Strain sensing behavior of multifunctional polyaniline-based thermoset polymer under static loading conditions

In this paper, a multifunctional thermoset polymer composite consisting of polyaniline, dodecylbenzene-sulfonic acid and divinylbenzene has been demonstrated as a strain sensor under different static loading conditions. Four-probe electrical conductivity measurement method was adopted to measure the change in electrical resistance of the material with respect to the applie…

Synthesis and characterization of PANI/P‐2M conductive composites: Thermal, rheological, mechanical, and electrical properties

In this article, a new conductive thermosetting resin system was developed using Polyaniline with 2‐Methacryloyloxyethyl acid phosphate (P‐2 M) as a dopant. The resin has shown better steady state viscosity and enhanced mechanical properties as high as 3 ± 0.8 GPa as compared to our previously developed resin system of PANI‐DBSA. A DSC analysis was conducted to estimate th…
