The interfacial evaluation of surface modified Jute fiber/polypropylene (PP) composites before and after hydration was investigated using micromechanical test and dynamic contact angle measurement. The IFSS of alkaline and silane-treated Jute fiber/PP composites increased, whereas after hydration, the IFSS of the untreated, alkaline- and silane-treated Jute fibers/PP composites decreased due to swelled fibrils by water infiltration. The interfacial adhesion of silane treated fiber/PP composites was higher than alkaline-treated or the untreated cases. The surface energies of Jute fiber treated under various conditions were obtained using dynamic contact angle measurement. Especially after hydration, the thermodynamic work of adhesion was calculated by considering water interlayer, which indicated the stability of IFSS between silane treated Jute fiber and PP matrix showing better than others.

We confirmed that poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fiber had the possibility to improve the mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP) by fabricating PP/PET fiber composites because PET enhanced mechanical properties and higher melting temperature than PP. But lower compatibility of between PP and PET fibers induced poor mechanical properties of PP/PET fiber composites in spite of incorporating PP-g-MAH as compatibilizer. To solve these problems of PP/PET fiber composites, we carried out a surface treatment on PET fiber using NaOH solution and Prepared PP/PET fiber composites with good mechanical properties by adding PP-g-MAH as a compatibilizer Then the behavior of the mechanical properties was correlated with the results obtained from SEM and IR spectroscopy.

In this study, we prepared glass fiber reinforced polypropylene composites using Brabender twin-screw extruder. Compatibilizer, polypropylene-based maleic anhydride (PP-g-MAH), was used to increase the molecular interaction between polypropylene matrix and glass fiber and to enhance melt processability. We also measured the shear and uniaxial elongational behaviors of glass-fiber reinforced composites in the absence or presence of compatibilizer. The effects of compatibilizer and fiber loading on the viscoelastic behaviors were examined. It was fuund that the PP-g-MAH compatibilizer improved the fluidity and increased the molecular bonding of composite melts in shear flow. Transient elongational viscosity was increased with fiber loadings in uniaxial elongational flow However, it was decreased with increasing elongational rates because of microscale shear flow between fibers.

The synthetic fibers including Polyvinyl alcohol and Polyethylene fibers have been successfully used in the manufacture of high ductile fiber reinforced cementitious composites. Polypropylene (PP) fiber has also been used in composites, not for the purpose of achieving a high level of tensile ductility but to improve the fire resistance performance of concrete exposed to high temperatures. This paper discusses the method for enhancing the performance of composites supplemented with PP fiber. Five types of mixture proportions were designed with high volume fly ash for testing the performance of composites. Type I cement and fly ash F were used as binding materials. The water-to-binder ratio was 0.23~0.25, and the amount of PP fiber used was 2 vol%. Polystyrene bead were also used to increase the tensile ductility of composites. A series of experiments including slump, density, compression and uniaxial tension tests were performed to evaluate the performance of cementitious composites supplemented with PP fiber. From the test results, it was exhibited that the performance of composites supplemented with PP fiber can be enhanced by adopting the mechanics and statistics theory.

폴리프로필렌 이산화티타늄 첨가 폴리프로필렌을 심초형 복합 방사하여 첨가제를 섬유의 중심부분, 또 표면부분에 차별분포시켰다. TiO2의 함량이 증가함에 따라 점도(η)와 저장탄성계수(G＇)는 증가하였다. 전자현미경으로 파단면의 모폴로지를 관찰한 결과 TiO2와 함량이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였다. TiO2의 함량 증가에 따라 강력, 절단신도, 그리고 탄성계수는 감소하였다. 복합방사한 섬유의 TiO2 함량이 2% 미만일 때는 homo PP 보다 강력이 좋아졌다. 복합 섬유의 탄성계수는 중심부에 homo PP가 분포한 경우가 더 컸 고 강력과절단 신도는 중심부에 filled PP가 분포한 경우가 더 컸다.

This study evaluated the effects of maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene powder (mPP) contents on the bond properties of cement mortar and nonpolar macro synthetic fibers (macro synthetic fiber). Dog-bone bond tests were performed to evaluate the bond performance of macro synthetic fiber in cement mortar with varying amounts of mPP (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30% of cement weight). The bond properties (pullout behavior, pullout load and interface toughness) of macro synthetic fiber in cement mortar increased as the mPP contents was increased. The bond properties increased with the mPP contents. The microstructure of macro synthetic fiber surface was examined after the pullout test to analyze the frictional resistant force according to mPP contents during the pullout process of macro synthetic fiber in cement mortar. The scratched of macro synthetic fiber increased with the mPP contents.

Carbon fiber (CF) reinforced polypropylene (PP) compositeis was increased to amount consumed. In this study, recycle of composites by recycle times. CF was containing 20%. Mechanical and interfacial propertis of CF/PP was evaluation for number of recycle time. Mechanical assessment of CF/PP was tension, bending, fatigue tension test and izod test method. Interfacial assessment of CF/PP was wettability test and FE-SEM of fracture surface method. Fiber and matrix was changed to recycle time. The more recycle of CF/PP, the more interfacial bonding was decreased. Because fiber and matrix was damaged to thermal damage. And then reinforced CF was shorter than original shape.

폴리프로필렌(PP)과 폴리에틸렌(PE)혼합물의 용융방사에 있어서 불안정성을 연구하 였으며 혼합물의 유변학적 성질, 혼합물의 형태학적 특성과 연신공명과의 관계를 고찰한 것 이다. 신장점도는 spinline rheometer를 사용하여 측정하여 섬유직경은 광센서를 이용하여 방사공정에서 on-line 측정하였고 연신공명의 주기는 Fourier 변환을 이용하여 분석하였다. PP와 PE혼합물의 용융방사에 있어서 PP 함유량이 많을수록 연신공명이 발생하는 임계연신 비가 줄어들고 그 주기는 길어진다. 정상상태에서 구한 유변학적 성질을 이용하여 Shah와 Pearson의 이론식과 Fisher와 Denn의 이론식으로부터 구한 임계연신비값이 실험치와 많은 차이를 보여주었다. 연신공명에 의하여 형성된 섬유의 가는 부분의 배향도는 굵은 부분에 비하여 크게 향상되었으며 PP 함유량이 많을수록 배향도가 크게 증가하였다.

Sodium octylbenzenesulfonate(SOBS)와 sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate(SDBS)를 폴리프로필렌(PP) 용융액에 각각 균일하게 서로 다른 함량으로 섞어 넣은 후에 용융압착법 으로 PP 필름을 제조하였다. 저장 점성도(η＇) 저장탄성률(G＇) 및 손실 탄성률(G＂)을 진 동식 레오미터를 사용하여 170~195$^{\circ}C$에서 측정하였다. 실험온도 범위내에서 첨가제를 함유 한 PP와 순PPrks에 Cole-Cole 플롯(G＇에 대한 G＂의 log-log 플롯)에는 차이가 없었다. 그러나 광범위한 전단속도에서 SOBS의 첨가량이 8%를 넘어서면서 η＇과 G＇은 증가하였 다. 이러한 현상은 PP 중에서의 첨가제의 응집효과로 설명되었으며 이것은 SOBS와 SDBS 를 함유하는 PP 필름의 시차 주사열량법 및 주사전자 현미경 관찰결과로 확인되었다. SDBS를 8% 미만 함유하는 PP로부터 섬유의 용융방사가 가능하였으나 SDBS3% 이상 함 유PP 방사섬유는 연신 과정중에 섬유의 절단이 이따금 일어났다. PP 기질내에 있어서의 SDBS의 뜨거운 물에대한 견뢰성을 SDBS와 C. I. Basic blue 41사이의 이온결합 형성 거동 에 바탕을 두어 가시분광법에 의하여 검토하였다.
