Ceramic nanofiber-reinforced composites
Bocian, Luboš ; Přikryl, Radek (referee) ; Poláček, Petr (advisor)
This thesis investigated how the addition of unsilanized and silanized ceramic SiO2 nanofibers into particle reinforced composite affects flexural strength, fracture toughness, total fracture work and temperature dependence of viscoelastic properties. Fracture surfaces were analyzed with SEM. Flexural strength always decreased with addition of nanofibers. Composites with silanized nanofibers showed higher flexural strength than those with unsilanized nanofibers. Fracture toughness was higher with addition of nanofibers. Fracture toughness of composites with silanized nanofibers was always lower than that of systems with unsilanized nanofibers. Total fracture work was lower with addition of nanofibers, but sharply increased in composites with 5 % of nanofibers. Glass transition temperature almost always increased with addition of nanofibers. Storage modulus increased with addition of nanofibers. Storage modulus was always lower in composites with silanized nanofibers.

Lomové chování kompozitů s křehkou matricí vyztuženou vlákny
Chlup, Zdeněk ; Dlouhý, Ivo ; Boccaccini, A. R. ; Chawla, K. K.
A number of examples exist that indicate the potential for increasing the fracture resistance of brittle matrix by dispersing brittle fibres. For applications development the real composite constituents response during mechanical loading under presence of flaws appears to be important. Theoretical and experimental knowledge sampled on glass matrix composites reinforced by fibres is shortly summarised in the paper. Borosilicate glass with continuous Nicalon fibres and the same matrix containing the chopped carbon fibres as well as the ZrO2 particles (hybrid composite) have been in focus of interests. Chevron notch technique was mainly used for the fracture toughness evaluation. High fracture toughness level of both composites has been proved when testing the as received state. Damage introduced by thermal ageing and/or thermal cycling has been discussed based on fracture toughness values and fracture behaviour analyses
