Abstract EN
Montmorillonite (MMT) may become a preferred filler material for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites due to its high aspect ratio, large surface area, and low charge density.
In the present paper, MMT/glass/vinylester multiscale composites are prepared with untreated and surface-treated MMT clay particles with an MMT content of 1.0 wt%.
Effects of surface treatment on mechanical properties of MMT/glass/vinylester multiscale composites are investigated through tensile and bending tests, which revealed enhanced mechanical properties in the case of surface-treated MMT.
Thermal properties are studied through thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA).
X-Ray diffraction is performed to investigate the interaction between MMT and the matrix.
Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) is also performed for both untreated and surface-treated MMT.
Furthermore, Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) is conducted to investigate the path of fracture propagation within the composite surface, showing that the surface-treated MMT based multiscale composite has better interactions with the host matrix than the untreated MMT multiscale composites.
These composites with enhanced mechanical strength can be used for various mechanical applications.
