The hygrothermal effect on three different types of Glass/Polypropylene was investigated under the environment of 4$0^{\circ}C$ distilled water. The residual strength of Glass/Polypropylene with randomly oriented and fiber content of 4-wt%(R40) was found stable under the moisture content of 0.2%. In this case, the maximum moisture content was 0.53%. On the other hand, Glass/Polypropylene with unidirection and 42wt%(U42) and 50st%(U50) fiber content, respectively, showed the residual strength less stable than R40. However, the maximam moisture contents were 0.52% and 0.45% respectively.

Many of researches regarding mechanical properties of composite materials are associated with humid environment and temperature. Especially the temperature is a very important factor influencing the design of thermoplastic composites. However, the effect of temperature on impact behavior of reinforced composites have not yet been fully explored. An approach which predicts critical fracture toughness GIC was performed by the impact test in this work The main goal of this work is to study effects of temperature in the impact test with glass fiber/polypropylene(GF/pp) composites. The critical fracture energy and failure mechanisms of GF/PP composites are investigated in the temperature range of $60^{\circ}C\;to\;-50^{\circ}C$ by impact test. The critical fracture energy shows a maximum at ambient temperature and it tends to decrease as temperature goes up or goes down. Major failure mechanisms can be classified such as fiber matrix debonding, fiber pull-out and/or delamination and matrix deformation.

The Compression molding process is widely used in the automotive industry to produce parts that are large, thin, light-weight, strong and stiff. Compression molded parts are formed by squeezing a glass fiber reinforced polypropylene sheet, known a glass mat thermoplastic(GMT), between two heated cavity surfaces. In this study, the anisotropic viscosity of the Unidirectional Fiber-Reinforced Plastic Composites is measured using the parallel plastometer and the composites is treated as an incompressible Newtonian fluid. The effects of molding parameter and fiber contents ratio on longitudinal/transverse viscosity are also discussed.

섬유함유율이 0%, 20% 그리고 30%인 단섬유 GF/PP 복합재료를 사용하여 8$0^{\circ}C$, 5$0^{\circ}C$ 그리고 실온에서 인장시험을 통하여 온도의 변화에 대한 파괴강도의 거동을 고찰한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 유리섬유로 강화하지 않은 순수 PP보다 유리섬유로 강화한 복합재료의 인장강도가 높게 나타났으며 섬유함유율이 증가할수록 그 값은 높게 나타났다. 2) 동일한 섬유함유율을 가지는 GF/PP 복합재료의 온도변화에 따른 인장강도는 실온의 경우가 가장 높게 나타나고 고온으로 갈수록 그 값이 낮게 나타났다. 3) GF/PP 복합재료의 파괴기구는 온도의 변화에 따라 매트릭스의 변형이 나타났으며 섬유의 풀아웃, 섬유와 매트릭스 사이의 디본딩을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 이와 같은 파괴기구가 종합적으로 상호작용한다고 생각된다.

The critical fracture energy and failure mechanisms of GF/PP composites are investigated in the temperatures range of the ambient temperature to $-50^{\circ}C$ The critical fracture energy increase as fiber volume fraction ratio increased The critical fracture energy shows a maximum at ambient temperature and it tends to decrease as temperature goes up. Major failure mechanisms can be classfied such as fiber matrix debonding, fiber pull-out and/or delamination and matrix deformation.

In an attempt to reach a balance of performances in homo-polypropylene based system, the effects of single and hybrid reinforcements inclusions comprising calcium carbonate nanoparticles (2, 4 and 6 phc) and glass fibers (10 wt.%) on the mechanical and thermal properties were investigated. Different samples were prepared by employing twin-screw extruder and injection molding machine. In morphological studies, the uniform distribution of glass fibers in PP matrix, relative adhesion between glass fibers and polymer, and existence of nanoparticles in polymer matrix were observed. $PP/CaCO_3$ (6 phc) as compared to pure PP and PP/GF had superior tensile and flexural strengths, impact resistance and deformation temperature under load (DTUL). $PP/GF/CaCO_3$ (6 phc) composite displayed comparable tensile and flexural strengths and impact resistance to neat PP, while its tensile and flexural moduli and deformation temperature under load (DTUL) were 436%, 99% and $26^{\circ}C$greater respectively. The maximum impact resistance was observed in $PP/CaCO_3$(6 phc). The highest DTUL was perceived in PP hybrid nanocomposite containing 10 wt.% glass fiber and 4 phc $CaCO_3$ nanoparticle.

In this study, different formulations of magnesium oxide and various modifiers (phosphoric acid, ferrous sulfate, pure acrylic emulsion, silicone acrylic emulsion, glass fiber, and polypropylene fiber) were used to prepare magnesium oxychloride cement composites. The compressive strength of the magnesium oxychloride cement was tested, and the softening coefficients of the composites after soaking in water were also calculated. The results showed that a magnesium oxychloride cement sample could not be coagulated when the MgO activity was 24.3%, but the coagulation effect of the magnesium oxide cement sample was excellent when the MgO activity was 69.5%. While pure acrylic emulsion, silicon-acrylic emulsion, and glass fiber showed insignificant modification effects on the magnesium oxychloride cement, ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, phosphoric acid, and polypropylene fiber could effectively improve its water resistance and compressive strength. When the phosphoric acid, ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, and polypropylene fiber contents were 0.47%, 0.73%, and 0.25%, respectively, the softening coefficient of a composite soaked in water reached 0.93 after 7 days, and the compressive strength reached 64.3 MPa.

Composite materials, known for their excellent mechanical properties and lightweight characteristics, are applied in various engineering fields. Recently, efforts have been made to develop an automotive battery protection panel using a plain-woven composite composed of glass fiber and polypropylene to reduce the weight of automobiles. However, excessive warpage occurs during the GF/PP compression molding process, which makes car assembly challenging. This study aims to develop a model that predicts the warpage during the compression molding process. Obtaining out-of-plane properties such as elastic or shear modulus, essential for predicting warpages, is tricky. Existing mechanical methods also have limitations in calculating these properties for woven composite materials. To address this issue, finite element analysis is conducted using representative volume elements (RVE) for woven composite materials. A warpage prediction model is developed based on the estimated physical properties of GF/PP composite materials obtained through representative volume elements. This model is expected to be used for reducing warpages in the compression molding process.

In this study, the survival rate of fiber is investigated by nozzle size difference in injection/mold sides. The survival rate of fiber is influenced about the nozzle size differ. Also, The mechanical properties of short carbon glass fiber reinforced polypropylene are experimentally measured as functions of fiber volume fraction and nozzle size difference. These mechanical properties are compared with the survival rate of fiber and fiber volume fraction using image analysis after pyrolytic decomposition. The survival rate of fiber as well as fiber volume fraction is influenced by injection processing condition, the used materials, mold conditions and nozzle sides difference, etc, In particular, the survival rate of fiber is great influenced when injection/mold nozzle sides are different more than that of the same. Consequently, the mechanical properties of short carbon/glass fiber reinforced polypropylene arc improved as the nozzle sides are the same in injection mold sides.

본 연구에서는 입자형태인 두 가지 이상의 강화제가 기지 내에 무작위로 분포하여 하이브리드 복합재료를 이룰 때, 강화제의 함유량에 따른 복합재료의 인장강도 및 탄성계수를 예측할 수 있는 이론 모델을 제안하였다. 이를 위하여 연속적인 두 강화제가 기지 내에 평행하게 분포한 복합재료 모델에 입자형태의 한 가지 강화제가 무작위하게 분포한 복합재료 모델을 수정 적용하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 모델의 정확성과 타당성을 논의하기 위해, 산업체에서 널리 쓰이고 있는 폴리프로필렌을 기지로 하고, 탈크와 유리단섬유를 서로 다른 강화제로 한 복합재료를 제작하여 인장강도 및 탄성계수를 측정하였다. 인장강도 값을 예측하는 경우, 이전의 이론 모델이 실험 측정값과 7배 이상의 오차를 보이는 반면 본 연구의 모델은 비슷한 값을 예측하였다. 탄성계수의 경우에도 본 연구의 모델은 비교적 정확하게 실험 측정 값을 예측할 수 있었다.
