    International Review of Applied Engineering Research. ISSN 2248-9967 Volume 4, Number 2 (2014), pp. 99-102 © Research India Publications http://www.ripublication.com/iraer.htm Ceramic Matrix Composites with Nano Technology–An Overview Saubhagya Sharma, Samresh Kumar Shashi and Vikram Tomar Department of Material Science & Nano Technology, University of Petroleum & Energy Studies, Dehradun, Uttrakhand. Abstract Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are promising materials for use in high temperature structural applications. This class of materials offers high strength to density ratios. Also, their higher temperature capability over conventional super alloys may allow for components that require little or no cooling. This benefit can lead to simpler component designs and weight savings. These materials can also contribute in increasing the operating efficiency due to higher operating temperatures being achieved. Using carbon/carbon composites with the help of Nanotechnology is more beneficial in structural engineering and can decrease the production cost. They can withstand high stresses and temperatures than the traditional alumina, silicon carbide which fracture easily under mechanical loads Fundamental work in processing, characterization and analysis is important before the structural properties of this new class of Nano composites can be optimized. The fields of the Nano composite materials have received a lot of attention to scientists and engineers in recent years. The fabrication of such composites using Nano technology can make a revolution in the field of material science engineering and can make the composites able to be used in long lasting applications. 1. Introduction As we know that Composite materials are the type of materials that are formed by combining two or more materials of different physical and chemical properties.

The hybrid materials consist of two parts: an isotropic UHMWPE layer and unidirectional SRC based on UHMWPE fibers. Hot compaction as an approach to obtaining composites allowed melting only the surface of each UHMWPE fiber. Thus, after cooling, the molten UHMWPE formed an SRC matrix and bound an isotropic UHMWPE layer and the SRC. The single-lap shear test, flexural test, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis were carried out to determine the influence of hot compaction parameters on the properties of the SRC and the adhesion between the layers. The shear strength increased with increasing hot compaction temperature while the preserved fibers’ volume decreased, which was proved by the DSC analysis and a reduction in the flexural modulus of the SRC. The increase in hot compaction pressure resulted in a decrease in shear strength caused by lower remelting of the fibers’ surface. It was shown that the hot compaction approach allows combining UHMWPE products with different molecular, supramolecular, and structural features.

Received: 7 July 2020; Accepted: 22 July 2020; Published: 24 July 2020 Abstract: The need to protect the environment has generated, in the past decade, a competition at the producers’ level to use, as much as possible, natural materials, which are biodegradable and compostable. This trend and the composite materials have undergone a spectacular development of the natural components. Starting from these tendencies we have made and studied from the point of view of mechanical and chemical properties composite materials with three types of hybrid matrix based on the Dammar natural hybrid resin and two types of reinforcers made of flax fabric. We have researched the mechanical properties of these composite materials based on their tensile strength and vibration behavior, respectively. We have determined the characteristic curves, elasticity modulus, tensile strength, elongation at break, specific frequency and damping factor. Using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) analysis we have obtained images of the breaking area for each sample that underwent a tensile test and, by applying FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) and EDS (Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy) analyzes, we have determined the spectrum bands and the chemical composition diagram of the samples taken from the hybrid resins used as a matrix for the composite materials under study.

Horacio Macedo, 2030, Rio de Janeiro RJ 21941-598, Brazil; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 17 November 2020; Accepted: 18 December 2020; Published: 19 December 2020 Abstract: Some treatment options available to repair bone defects are the use of autogenous and allogeneic bone grafts. The drawback of the first one is the donor site’s limitation and the need for a second operation on the same patient. In the allograft method, the problems are associated with transmitted diseases and high susceptibility to rejection. As an alternative to biological grafts, polymers can be used in bone repair. Some polymers used in the orthopedic field are poly(methyl methacrylate), poly(ether-ether-ketone), and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). UHMWPE has drawn much attention since it combines low friction coefficient and high wear and impact resistance. However, UHMWPE is a bioinert material, which means that it does not interact with the bone tissue. UHMWPE composites and nanocomposites with hydroxyapatite (HA) are widely studied in the literature to mitigate these issues. HA is the main component of the inorganic phase in the natural bone, and the addition of this bioactive filler to the polymeric matrix aims to mimic bone composition. This brief review discusses some polymers used in orthopedic applications, focusing on the UHMWPE/HA composites as a potential bone substitute. Keywords: poly(methyl methacrylate); poly(ether-ether-ketone); ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene; hydroxyapatite; orthopedic applications 1.

    Materials for Polymer Composites

    Module 2 - Materials For Polymer Composites Module 2 - Materials for Polymer Composites Introduction Major constituents in a fiber-reinforced composite material are the reinforcing fibers and a matrix, which acts as a binder for the fibers. Other constituents that may also be found are coupling agents, coatings, and fillers. Coupling agents and coatings are applied on the fibers to improve their wetting with the matrix as well as to promote bonding across the fiber–matrix interface. Both in turn promote a better load transfer between the fibers and the matrix. Fillers are used with some polymeric matrices primarily to reduce cost and improve their dimensional stability. Manufacturing of a composite structure starts with the incorporation of a large number of fibers into a thin layer of matrix to form a lamina (ply). The thickness of a lamina is usually in the range of 0.1–1 mm. If continuous (long) fibers are used in making the lamina, they may be arranged either in a unidirectional orientation (i.e., all fibers in one direction, Figure 2.1a), in a bidirectional orientation (i.e., fibers in two directions, usually normal to each other, Figure 2.1b), or in a multidirectional orientation (i.e., fibers in more than two directions, Figure 2.1c). The bi- or multidirectional orientation of fibers is obtained by weaving or other processes used in the textile industry. For a lamina containing unidirectional fibers, the composite material has the highest strength and modulus in the longitudinal direction of the fibers. However, in the transverse direction, its strength and modulus are very low.

    Impact Strength of 3D Printed Polyether-Ether-Ketone (PEEK)

    Solid Freeform Fabrication 2019: Proceedings of the 30th Annual International Solid Freeform Fabrication Symposium – An Additive Manufacturing Conference Impact Strength of 3D Printed Polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) Haijun Gong1,*, Xiaodong Xing2, Jan Nel1 1Department of Manufacturing Engineering, Georgia Southern University, Statesboro GA, USA 2College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Harbin Engineering University, Harbin, China *Corresponding author ([email protected]) Abstract Polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) is a high-performance thermoplastic with high heat-, high chemical-, high water-, and high wear-resistance. Its strength and durability also make it highly accepted for a range of industrial applications. 3D printing of PEEK filaments offers a unique quality and flexibility in making PEEK parts for low-volume production or special designs. This study investigates the impact strength of 3D printed PEEK materials. The specimens are fabricated using a fused deposition modeling (FDM) based 3D printer and tested by a pendulum impact tester in compliance with ASTM standard. The testing result is discussed with respect to the processing parameters and the annealing treatment. Impact strength comparison of PEEK materials manufactured by 3D printing and by conventional production is also conducted. Instruction Polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) is a semi-crystalline polymer, which was developed in 1978. The PEEK is widely used as a high-performance thermoplastic due to its high heat-, high chemical-, high water-, high wear-resistance. Especially, PEEK and its varieties have been adopted for different biomedical treatment such as dental implants, orthopedics and maxillofacial surgery [1,2]. Its strength and durability also make it highly accepted for a range of industrial applications. For example, many automotive applications require to work at a temperature more than 120 °C.
