Property Analysis of Carbon Fiber with Vinyl Ester Resin Type Sizing Agen

Coating of Carbon Fiber with Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane (POSS) to Enhance Mechanical Properties and Durability of Carbon/Vinyl Ester Composites

Our continuing quest to improve the performance of polymer composites under moist and saltwater environments has gained momentum in recent years with the reinforcement of inorganic nanoparticles into the polymer. The key to mitigate degradation of composites under such environments is to maintain the integrity of the fiber/matrix (F/M) interface. In this study, the F/M interface of carbon/vinyl...

Comprehensive mechanical property classification of vapor-grown carbon nanofiber/vinyl ester nanocomposites using support vector machines

In the context of data mining and knowledge discovery, a large dataset of vapor-grown carbon nanofiber (VGCNF)/vinyl ester (VE) nanocomposites was thoroughly analyzed and classified using support vector machines (SVMs) into ten classes of desired mechanical properties. These classes are high true ultimate strength, high true yield strength, high engineering elastic modulus, high engineering ult...

ارتقای کامپوزیت‌های پلیمری برای کاربردهای دریایی

According to the high demand of fiberglass/polyester composites in marine applications, this paper has studied the properties of these composites. It has also been shown that isophthalic polyester has better properties than orthophthalic polyester, in marine applications. This paper has also investigated the vinyl ester and phenolic resin stability especially in the sea water and has shown that...

Fiber Alignment in Directed Carbon Fiber Preforms Mechanical Property Prediction

A finite element method is presented for predicting the mechanical performance of discontinuous fiber mesostructures typically produced by directed carbon fiber preforming. High-filament count bundles are modeled using beam elements to enable large representative volume elements to be studied. The beams are attached to a regular grid of 2D continuum elements, which represent the matrix material...
