“…In addition, properties can exhibit a synergistic combination of properties (positive nonlinear behavior) where the properties are better than those predicted by linear behavior [ 25 ]. Clearly, interfacial adhesion is key in optimizing synergistic combination of properties [ 5 ].…”

“…It has a highly aromatic structure with a stiff backbone, no hydrolysable bonds and no polarizable groups. These structural features result in a polymer with outstanding hydrolytic stability, very low moisture absorption, high glass transition temperature (Tg), low density, and very low dielectric properties [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. PPE is used primarily in blends and alloys to enhance the thermal performance, increase toughness and lower moisture absorption of other thermoplastics.…”

Polyphenylene ether (PPE) telechelic macromonomers are unique hydrophobic polyols which have been used to prepare amphiphilic block copolymers. Various polymer compositions have been synthesized with hydrophilic blocks. Their macromolecular nature affords a range of structures including random, alternating, and di-and triblock copolymers. New macromolecular architectures can offer tailored property profiles for optimum performance. Besides reducing moisture uptake and making the polymer surface more hydrophobic, the PPE hydrophobic segment has good compatibility with polystyrene (polystyrene-philic). In general, the PPE contributes to the toughness, strength, and thermal performance. Hydrophilic segments go beyond their affinity for water. Improvements in the interfacial adhesion between polymers and polar substrates via hydrogen bonding and good compatibility with polyesters (polyester-philic) have been exhibited. The heterogeneity of domains in these PPE based block copolymer offers important contributions to diverse applications.

“…Glass fiber, glass balls, and a wide of variety of mineral substances are used as reinforcing additive. As far as extending their thermal limits is a concern, the MID research conducted in the recent years has brought to light two main approaches, namely electron-beam crosslinking and the use of the filler system for modifying thermoplastics, which is capable of satisfying higher requirements, particularly those deriving from the production process [ 171 , 172 , 173 , 174 ].…”

3D-MID Technology for Surface Modification of Polymer-Based Composites: A Comprehensive Review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The three-dimensional molded interconnected device (3D-MID) has received considerable attention because of the growing demand for greater functionality and miniaturization of electronic parts. Polymer based composite are the primary choice to be used as substrate. These materials enable flexibility in production from macro to micro-MID products, high fracture toughness when subjected to mechanical loading, and they are lightweight. This survey proposes a detailed review of different types of 3D-MID modules, also presents the requirement criteria for manufacture a polymer substrate and the main surface modification techniques used to enhance the polymer substrate. The findings presented here allow to fundamentally understand the concept of 3D-MID, which can be used to manufacture a novel polymer composite substrate.

“…[16][17][18][19][20] In contrast, the present study is focussed on the usage of thermoplastic matrix materials, which offer significantly more energy absorption than thermosets, and thus are preferably used for impact-specific laminates. [21][22][23] In contrast, the adhesion of thermoplastic matrix materials to metals is often lower than those of thermosets. Moreover, the influence of residual stresses due to different coefficients of thermal expansion on the failure behaviour could be more relevant because of higher production temperatures with thermoplastics.…”

The combination of thin light metal sheets with fibre-reinforced thermoplastic layers in multi-layered fibre-metal-laminates advantageously combines the properties of both material classes. In this way, components can be developed which have both significantly increased specific properties (strength and stiffness with respect to density) and high energy absorption capacity compared with conventional design with mono materials. However, the structural behaviour of crash structures is decisively determined by material behaviour of the thermoplastic and metal constituents as well as the interface properties between both constituents and the corresponding delamination behaviour. To evaluate the structural response of multi-layered fibre-metal-laminates under highly dynamic loading conditions, Charpy tests were performed, where the test parameters, light metal material configuration, support length and laminate thickness, were varied. Moreover, the metal sheet surfaces were pre-treated by embossing to achieve different surface topologies. The influence of the different test parameters on the specific energy absorption capacity was characterised by the analysis of force–displacement curves.
