Abstract

Bu çalışmada düz (P), interlok (INT), askı (T) ve askı&atlama (TM) gibi farklı örgü yapılarına sahip dört tip çift eksenli atkılı örme (BWK) kumaş (polipropilen (PP) reçine iplik/cam elyaf (GF)) ve çok duvarlı karbon nanotüpler (ÇDKNT'ler) (ağırlıkça %0,4) ÇDKNT ilaveli termoplastik laminantlar üretmek için takviye olarak kullanıldı. Laminantların mekanik özelliklerini incelemek için, eğilme, kısa kiriş ve Charpy darbe testleri numunelere uygulandı. Ön çalışmalarda, ÇDKNT'li ve ÇDKNT'siz termoplastik laminantların üretilmesi için düz örgülü BWK kumaşlar kullanılmış ve numuneler üzerinde eğilme testleri yapılarak ÇDKNT 'lerin laminantlar üzerindeki olumlu etkisi ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Ağırlıkça %0,4 ÇDKNT'li INT ve TM örgü tipleri neredeyse aynı bükülme modülüsü ve mukavemetine sahiptir. Ağırlıkça %0,4 ÇDKNT'li interlok örgü tipine sahip BWK laminantlarla askı tipi ile olanlarına göre %5 ve %41 daha yüksek bükülme modülü ve mukavemeti elde edildi. Ağırlıkça %0,4 ÇDKNT'li askı&atlama örgülü (21,02 MPa ve 6,34 Joule) ve askı örgülü (16,39 MPa ve 4,04 Joule) plakalar karşılaştırıldığında %28,2 daha yüksek kısa kiriş mukavemeti ve %57 daha yüksek Charpy darbe enerjisi elde edildi.

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CNTS INTEGRATED PP/GLASS FIBER REINFORCED BIAXIAL WEFT-KNITTED THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES WITH DIFFERENT KNITTING STRUCTURES

Abstract

In this study, four types of biaxial weft-knitted (BWK) fabrics (polypropylene (PP) resin yarn/glass fiber (GF) with different knitting structures such as plain (P), interlock (INT), tuck (T) and tuck&miss (TM) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) (0.4 wt%) were used as reinforcements to produce thermoplastic laminates with MWCNTs. In order to study the mechanical characteristics of the laminates, the flexural, short beam and Charpy impact tests on the samples were performed. In preliminary studies, the BWK fabrics with the plain knittings were used to produce the thermoplastic laminates with and without MWCNTs and positive effect of MWCNTs on the laminates were found out by performing the flexural tests on the specimens. The BWK laminates with the INT and TM knitting types with 0.4 wt% MWCNTs had almost same bending modulus and strength. 5% and 41% higher bending modulus and strength were gained with the BWK laminates with the interlock knitting type with 0.4-wt% MWCNTs compared to that was with the tuck type. 28.2% higher short beam strength and 57% higher Charpy impact energy were obtained with tuck&miss with 0.4-wt% MWCNTs (21.02 MPa and 6.34 Joule) compared to that was with the tuck knitting (16.39 MPa and 4.04 Joule).
