“…It can also be discovered that the addition of more silica causes a broadened relaxation temperature. This is in agreement with the literature reporting that a broad tan δ peak implies muffled external stress by the silica filler before transmitting it to the polymer matrix. Therefore, composites with higher silica content require more time to pass through the transition temperature.…”

Polyethylene glycol (PEG)/quartz (denoted as BP/Q) composites have been investigated as candidates of phase change materials (PCMs) due to their thermomechanical properties around the glass transition temperature as well as thermal properties between 30 and 600 C. Quartz (q-SiO 2 ) powders were extracted from local sand in Tanah Laut, Pelaihari, South Kalimantan, Indonesia. The composites were prepared by dispersing q-SiO 2 powders in the PEG matrix followed by the wet mixing process. The thermal properties of the composites were characterized using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), while the thermomechanical properties were examined using a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA) in a three-point bending mode around the PEG glass transition temperature range (−100-50 C). The morphology and interface bonding were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). From the DSC measurement, the endothermic peak of the composites showed a shift of approximately 7-12 C toward higher temperatures than that of the pure polymer. The melting enthalpy values (ΔH m ) of the BP/Q composites covered the required PCM application range, that is, between 139 and 182 J/g. The TGA of the composites showed that thermal degradation occurs in the range of 250-450 C. We found that solid-solid PCMs (ssPCMs) were successfully fabricated with the addition of 10 and 20 wt% q-SiO 2 . From DMA characterization, the BP/Q 20 wt% composite exhibited the maximum E' and the minimum energy dissipation (E"). Its E' value was approximately 250 MPa more than that of the pure PEG. The glass transition (T g ) temperatures of PEG and BP/Q composites (5, 10, and 20 wt%) were around −24.5, −19.1, −17.1, and − 5.3 C, respectively. In addition, the E" and tan δ values decreased with q-SiO 2 filler content. Furthermore, the Cole-Cole plots of the BP/Q composites revealed a better interfacial bonding between the q-SiO 2 and the PEG matrix in the composites with higher silica content. A compact morphology was shown by the BP/Q 20 wt% composite due to high silica concentration.

“…T m is related to the first‐order transition phenomenon that shows the rubbery‐to‐liquid transition of a polymer . It is also an indicator of how efficiently the material loses energy due to molecular rearrangements and internal friction . A higher T m implies a lower such energy loss.…”

The effect of silica polymorphs on the thermomechanical properties of 0, 5, 10, and 20 wt % silica particles-reinforced-based poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) composites have been studied as a function of temperature using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The silica polymorphs exhibited quartz (Q), cristobalite (C), and amorphous (A) phases, which were obtained by processing natural silica sand. The DMA thermomechanical properties were determined in tensile (E) and shear (G) modes. The maximum storage moduli (E 0 and G 0 ) were achieved by samples with 20 wt % silica for all type of fillers. These values increased approximately 12 times for PEG/Q, 10 times for PEG/A, and 11 times for PEG/C composites compared to the pure PEG. Furthermore, the Poisson's ratio values of the composites were filler phase dependent, that is, 0.39-0.47 for PEG/Q, 0.15-0.18 for PEG/A, and somewhat anomalous for PEG/C composites.

“…Nevertheless, the effect of frequency on these damping values was not discussed. Dynamic mechanical analysis [9] can obtain the damping values under continuous frequency directly, but the strict requirement of specimen size and limited testing range of frequency restrict the usage of this method on the honeycomb core. More studies focused on the indirect method.…”

In this paper, the orthotropic damping behavior of Nomex honeycomb composites and its causes are investigated. The needed specimen sizes for the measurement of the frequency-dependent transverse shear moduli (TSM) and fundamental damping coefficients of the honeycomb cores were analyzed at first. Then, the effects of cell side length and beam orientation on the orthotropic damping properties were explored. The results reveal that relatively high TSM (GLT) and damping values (ηWT) can be obtained by decreasing the cell side length without adding any additional weight. Damping mechanism analysis indicates that the difference in damping contribution of the interfacial phase to honeycomb core in different directions leads to the orthotropic damping behavior of honeycomb core. This study is helpful to guide the TSM measurement and structure design of honeycomb composites.
