    VALVE CHATTER APRIL 2021 Newsletter, Volume 26, Issue 4 Regional Group #148 of the Early Ford V-8 Club of America, Inc Chatter From the President Patsy Hamlin Hopefully everyone has gotten their Covid injections and your waiting period is over as well. Looking forward to getting together as soon as we hear all is well to meet once again. I will be participating in a Zoom meeting with the National Board to cover the guide lines to once again restart our meetings. At this point it it looks promising that we will be able to meet in May. We will put out the information as soon as it is finalized! Tom and I have gotten our Covid injections and our waiting period is over and we have gone out . Last night we met up with Sylvia and Don Harwick at the casino for dinner. We had a great time and it was good to be around people once again. Then today Don called and wanted to come over to our house and another experience we have not had in some time company at our house. Tom showing Don his new acquisition “The 1964 Ranchero” and just sitting around cutting up, thought I would put this picture in the Chatter. Tom and Don sitting together on the love sit. Sylvia and I were not about to give up our chairs so there they are sitting close. As you can see the Muffin man has grown some new hair on his chin, so now we have another fur face in the club.

  • Epoxy Composites with Short Fibers Are Long on Benefits for Automotive Applications
    EPOXY COMPOSITES WITH SHORT FIBERS ARE LONG ON BENEFITS FOR AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS P.J. Farris Jr. SolEpoxy, Inc. Abstract The automotive industry is no stranger to the use of polymers and composites. Some non- metallic materials currently being used in automotive applications include fiber reinforced nylon, polyphthalamide, polyamide-imide , and polyester in the form of bulk molding compound (BMC) or sheet molding compound (SMC). One significant reason for using these composites is to reduce weight and maximize fuel efficiency. Long strand fiberglass for strengthening plastics such as nylon, PPA, PAI, and polyester, has been in use for decades. Carbon fiber can yield even greater strength, although it has been used mainly in aerospace, sporting goods, and in other high end applications such as race cars, super cars, and luxury vehicles due to cost. SolEpoxy has achieved good results by blending fibers of different types in order to optimize desired properties or minimize cost. With this paper, SolEpoxy proposes to add another material to this list of common automotive composites: short-fiber reinforced epoxy. Epoxies feature high strength, resistance to high temperatures, chemical resistance, ease of molding vs. metal forming, and lower density which could yield dramatic weight savings. Epoxy composites reinforced with short fibers convey the additional important benefit of isotropic material properties. Unlike long-fiber reinforced composites, there is no need to orient or “lay-up” the reinforcing fibers. Short-fiber epoxy composites can be molded to near net shape and finished with machining just like die-cast metal. We also offer some interesting observations. It is unsurprising that, in a given base epoxy, carbon fiber provides a boost in the flex and tensile strength.
