Concept of Interfacial Reaction in Textile Composites

K.Srikanth 11MT72 M.tech Textile Technology (PT) PSG Tech

Fiber-Matrix interface
Nano-sized boundary between fibres and matrix Interface
boundary between any two phases drop change of chemical and physical properties

- result of two surfaces interaction, that depends on the surface structure

and

properties of both phases - the structure and properties of interface differ from both phases

Each system possess specific interface

Ideal interface
- infinitely thin, tight, no defects

Real interface
- complicated chemical and physical structure

Important influence on composite properties e.g. fracture toughness corrosive behaviour

In composites are important

The structure of interface

Physical properties of interface

mechanical

great difference between mechanical properties of fibres and matrices the tension is transferred from matrix to fibres through the

interface

other important properties electrical, Optical, thermal

Voids in Interface

De-bonding in Interfaces

Impact of joining components on interface properties


Various layers

different properties no chemical bonds, no physical joining

no tensile strength of composite


- in-plane modulus depends on the specimen clamping

All layers tightly fixed in jaw CLIP EFFECT


- all layer carry tension

Strength and stiffness of composite


- fibres are bonded by matrix

Composites with weak interface

- lower strength and stiffness - more flexible

Composites with strong interface

high strength and stiffness hard, brittle

Character of joining between fibres and matrix


- atomic distribution - chemical properties of fibres - conformation and chemical properties of matrices

Strength of joinings is affected by ADHESION

Mechanisms of adhesion
Five main mechanisms
- joining between fibres and matrices - they work either separately or in conjunction

Adsorption and wetting Interdiffusion Electrostatic attraction

Chemical bond
Mechanical adhesion

Adsorption and wetting Adsorption

Adsorption is the accumulation of atoms or molecules on the surface of material

This process creates a film of the adsorbate (the molecules or atoms being accumulated) on the adsorbent's surface

Wetting

Wetting of real surface:


surfaces

- Two electrically neutral, hard, rough


- also roughnesses in microscopic scale - contamination by oxides, dust particles etc. - contact points only

Improvement of wetting
- cleaning and smoothing of surface

Interdiffusion

strength of joining is influenced by


- number of diffusive molecules conformation of molecules - molecular movement

- entanglements

Electrostatic attraction

Two oppositely charged surfaces


- interaction of acid and base

oppositely charged ions


- positively charged groups on molecular ends are attracted by polymer orientation - strength of interface depends on charge density anions rised from

- it

is not wet-stable

Chemical bond
- chemical groups on fiber surface + compatible chemical group of matrix

Mechanical adhesion
- Two surfaces are just mechanically stucked
- high shear strength

- depends on size of irregularities

Mechanical adhesion
