H H – – Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) {-C-C-}n – – Cl H Some specific polymers Very rigid and strong, Tg = 60-80 C siding, pipe, conduit, usw. Presence of Cl gives rise to solubility in various organic solvents - allows "solvent welding"
H H – – Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) {-C-C-}n – – Cl H Some specific polymers Presence of Cl gives rise to solubility in various organic solvents Rigid PVC difficult to form by some techniques (e.g., calendaring)……so add solvent as "plasticizer" PVC sheet then roll-formed onto fabric backing and - voilá - "vinyl"!
Some specific polymers Rigid PVC difficult to form by some techniques (e.g., calendaring)……so add solvent as "plasticizer" PVC sheet then roll-formed onto fabric backing and - voilá - "vinyl"! Problem: solvent slowly evaporates, esp. when (auto) vinyl seats & fascia heated by sun Armorall to the rescue! Periodically put solvent back into polymer
Some specific polymers silicones Oils - Low MW……liquids lubricants, hydraulic fluids, water repellants, usw. Elastomers - intermediate MW, crosslinked waterproofing, caulk, prostheses, usw. Molding compds - high MW, crosslinked non-structural parts, insulation, usw. Crosslinking – moisture reacts w/parts of chain to crosslink……acetic acid is byproduct of rxn
Some specific polymers {-O-C-O- -C- -}n H O H-C-H H-C-H H polycarbonate Non-crystalline, nearly as strong as highly crystalline nylon, but tougher (stiff chain, pendant groups, H bonding betwn chains) High TM – form at elevated temps
{-C- -C-N- -N-}n H H O O aramid Some specific polymers Nylon cousin, but far stronger (very stiff chain) Non-burning, very high TM, solvent resistant When made into fibers ––> Kevlar

angular WC fragments Co matrix phase Composites - overview Example - carbide tools (previously discussed)
Composites - overview Artificial combination of matrix phase & dispersed phase Matrix: metal, alloy ceramic mat'l polymer Dispersed phase: particulate fiber
Works like precipitation hardening Composites - metal matrix composites (MMCs) Particulates: ThO2-dispersed Ni (TD Ni) sintered Al powder (SAP) - except strengthening maintained at hi T Improves: strength creep resistance hi T corrosion resistance
Matrix mat'ls Composites - metal matrix composites (MMCs) Fibers: Conts - C, SiC, B, Al2O3 Disconts - C, Al2O3 , SiC whiskers May get rxn betwn phases at hi T
Matrix Composites - ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) Particulates, fibers: SiC, B, Al2O3 , C, SiC & Si3N4 whiskers Improve fracture toughness: slow crack growth deflect crack tips redistribute stresses around crack tips bridge crack tips
Composites - polymer matrix composites (PMCs) Fibers: mainly - glass (GFRPs), carbon (CFRPs), aramid, others - B, SiC, Al2O3
Composites - polymer matrix composites (PMCs) Very common - polyesters, vinyl esters
Composites Role of matrix in FR composites: a. transfer stresses betwn fibers b. provide barrier to environment c. protect fibers Matrix/fiber bond: matrix must wet fiber physical & chemical bond desirable mechanical interlocking Fibers frequently coated w/ coupling agent
non-coupled coupled Composites
