The objectives of this study were to expose woven PBO body armor panels to elevated tem- perature and moisture, and to analyze the chemical, morphological and mechanical changes in PBO yarns extracted from the panels. A 30% decrease in yarn tensile strength, which was correlated to changes in the infrared peak absorbance of key functional groups in the PBO structure, was observed during the 26 week elevated temperature/elevated moisture aging period. Substantial changes in chemical structure were observed via infrared spectroscopy, as well as changes in polymer morphology using microscopy and neutron scattering. When the panels were removed to an ultra-dry environment for storage for 47 weeks, no further decreases in tensile strength degradation were observed. In a follow-on study, fibers were sealed in argon-filled glass tubes and exposed to elevated temperature; less than a 4% decrease in tensile strength was observed after 30 weeks, demonstrating that moisture is a key factor in the degradation of these fibers.

Although the mechanical properties are documented for these fibers at ambient and elevated temperatures, there is an absence of data in the open literature for how these fibers behave at very low temperatures. To evaluate the mechanical properties, the ASTM standard method for testing at ambient temperature was used as a baseline. The low temperature tests were conducted inside a double walled cryogenic chamber to evaluate the fiber performance at 100K.

(August 2006) Joseph M. O’Neil, B.S., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Roger J. Morgan The moisture absorption behavior of Zylon fibers was characterized in various high temperature and high humidity conditions in a controlled environment. The results of these thermal cycling tests show that PBO fibers not only absorb, but also retain moisture (approximately 0.5-3%) when exposed to elevated temperature and humidity cycles. Also, the impurities of Zylon fibers were characterized through the use of Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) and solid state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). These tests demonstrated that, in addition to other impurities, PBO fibers may contain up to 0.55 weight percent phosphorus, and that this phosphorus is present in the form of phosphoric acid.

  • Ballistic Impact Response of Kevlar 49 and Zylon Under Conditions Representing Jet Engine Fan Containment
    Ballistic Impact Response of Kevlar 49 and Zylon Under Conditions Representing Jet Engine Fan Containment J. Michael Pereira and Duane M. Revilock NASA Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio [email protected] [email protected] Abstract A ballistic impact test program was conducted to provide validation data for the development of numerical models of blade out events in fabric containment systems. The impact response of two different fiber materials - Kevlar 49 (E.I. DuPont Nemours and Company) and Zylon AS (Toyobo Co., Ltd.) was studied by firing metal projectiles into dry woven fabric specimens using a gas gun. The shape, mass, orientation and velocity of the projectile were varied and recorded. In most cases the tests were designed such that the projectile would perforate the specimen, allowing measurement of the energy absorbed by the fabric. The results for both Zylon and Kevlar presented here represent a useful set of data for the purposes of establishing and validating numerical models for predicting the response of fabrics under conditions simulating those of a jet engine blade release situation. In addition some useful empirical observations were made regarding the effects of projectile orientation and the relative performance of the different materials. Introduction In the last thirty years the use of aramid fabrics in jet engine blade containment systems has become common. It is recognized that high strength and high elongation fabrics, combined with innovative structural concepts can provide a light weight, effective fan case system that provides the strength required to safely handle impact loads, blade rub loads and the large dynamic loads caused by rotor imbalance.

The modulus of the as-spun fiber can be greatly affected by the heat treatment conditions (temperature, tension and duration). The crystallite orientation and the fiber modulus will increase by this short-term heating under tension. Poly (p-phenylene terephthalamide) fibers have a very high molecular orientation (orientation angle 12-20°). Kevlar and Twaron fibers are poly (p-phenylene terephthalamide) fibers. This review reports for PPTA fibers the heat treatment techniques, devices and its process conditions. It reports in details the structural relationships between the fiber properties which are influenced by the heat treatment process. In particular, focused deeply on the effect of the crystal structure and the morphology of the fibers on the mechanical properties of PPTA fibers.

  • Fiber Selection for Reinforced Additive Manufacturing
    polymers Review Fiber Selection for Reinforced Additive Manufacturing Ivan Philip Beckman *, Christine Lozano, Elton Freeman and Guillermo Riveros Information Technology Laboratory, U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Vicksburg, MS 39180, USA; [email protected] (C.L.); [email protected] (E.F.); [email protected] (G.R.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-16-01-397-0391 Abstract: The purpose of this review is to survey, categorize, and compare the mechanical and thermal characteristics of fibers in order to assist designers with the selection of fibers for inclusion as reinforcing materials in the additive manufacturing process. The vast “family of fibers” is described with a Venn diagram to highlight natural, synthetic, organic, ceramic, and mineral categories. This review explores the history and practical uses of particular fiber types and explains fiber production methods in general terms. The focus is on short-cut fibers including staple fibers, chopped strands, and whiskers added to polymeric matrix resins to influence the bulk properties of the resulting printed materials. This review discusses common measurements for specific strength and tenacity in the textile and construction industries, including denier and tex, and discusses the proposed “yuri” measurement unit. Individual fibers are selected from subcategories and compared in terms of their mechanical and thermal properties, i.e., density, tensile strength, tensile stiffness, flexural rigidity, moisture regain, decomposition temperature, thermal expansion, and thermal conductivity. This review concludes with an example of the successful 3D printing of a large boat at the University of Maine and describes considerations for the selection of specific individual fibers used in the additive Citation: Beckman, I.P.; Lozano, C.; Freeman, E.; Riveros, G.
