Polyethylene and ferric oxide microparticles were mixed in this work to generate a new polymer composite. Weight fraction and microparticle size were studied experimentally to discover how they influenced the tensile strength and Young’s modulus. A response surface methodology was employed in the design of the research. The increased weight fraction of reinforcement results in the increase in Young’s modulus and lowers the elongation percentage. As the microparticles expanded in size, so did their effect on the composite’s mechanical characteristics. The tensile strength of specimens containing 20% ferric oxide and particle size of more than 91 µm was dropped by 18 percent due to the agglomeration of microparticles. The addition of 24% Fe2O3 microparticles smaller than 33 μm raised Young’s modulus and tensile strength by 340 percent and 65 percent, respectively.

“…A comparison was made based on the experimental data to show the superior mechanical behavior of sisal fiber-reinforced aluminum laminates (SiRALs) in tensile, flexural, and impact loading compared to pristine sisal fabrics and sisal fiber-reinforced composites. Arumugam et al [204,205] conducted a comprehensive research on the sandwich-like hybrid composite plates in which the inner layers were composed of sisal fiber/chitosan/epoxy while the outer layers were made of sisal fiber/chitosan/epoxy. It was concluded that the developed structure could be a suitable candidate for orthopedic use in the future.…”

In recent years, concerns about environmental pollution have led to the development of natural fiber sandwich structures as alternatives to petroleum-based ones. This paper reviews various studies on sandwich structures composed of non-wood cellulose-nature fibers. These fibers mainly include flax, hemp, jute, kenaf, sisal, coir, and bamboo. The studies are classified based on the type of fibers, the components in which they are used, and experimental tests/numerical investigations. Furthermore, a few suggestions for future research in the field of eco-friendly sandwich structures are made.

“…Furthermore, topological entanglement models of CANs have been developed to describe toughening mechanisms of the epoxy polymer with the chemical BERs [18][19][20]. In contrast, various fillers have been introduced to reinforce the epoxy matrix and improve the tensile strength and maximum elongation at the breaking of the epoxy [21][22][23]. Crystalline phases were also applied to be homogeneously dispersed into the CANs, and the formed semi-crystalline epoxy demonstrated excellent mechanical properties compared with those amorphous ones [24][25][26].…”

Attributed to its existence of bond exchange reactions (BERs) and covalent adaptable networks (CANs), thermoset epoxy has shown self-healing and reversibly mechanical capabilities. However, toughening mechanisms and cooperative coupling of these crystal phases and CANs in a semi-crystalline thermoset epoxy have not been well understood. In this study, a Hamiltonian graph model is formulated to explore toughening mechanisms in the semi-crystalline thermoset epoxy based on the vertices and paths, both of which are employed to describe the crystalline phases and CANs, respectively. A free-energy equation is further developed based on the tail and tie free energy functions to investigate the cooperative coupling of crystal phases and CANs. The crystal phases increase the cross-linking density of the CANs, which help the crystal phases with a homogeneous dispersion. Moreover, an extended Maxwell model is developed along with the Hamiltonian graph to explore the coupling effect of crystal phase and CAN on the mechanical behaviors of semi-crystalline thermoset epoxy. A constitutive stress-strain relationship is then proposed to describe the self-healing and toughening behaviors of semi-crystalline thermoset epoxy. The stress-strain relationship of semi-crystalline polymers, which incorporates the crystal phases and CANs, has been thoroughly investigated using the analytical results obtained from the proposed Hamiltonian graph model. Finally, effectiveness of the proposed model is verified using the finite element analysis and a set of experimental data.
