Polymer composites with controlled interphase
Zvonek, Milan ; Knob, Antonín (referee) ; Čech, Vladimír (advisor)
Cieľom diplomovej práce je príprava polymerných kompozitov vyztužených sklenenými vláknami s riadenou medzifázou za použitia metódy plazmochemickej depozície z plynnej fáze a monomeru tetravinylsilanu. Teoretická časť je zameraná na literárnu rešerš o plazme, plazmovej polymerácií, tenkých vrstvách a kompozitoch. Experimentálna časť popisuje použité materiály a aparaturu použitú na povrchovú modifikáciu sklenených vlákien a prípravu vláknom vyztužených kompozitov. Povrchová úprava sklenených vlákien prebiehala za rôznych depozičných podmienok. Chemické a mechanické analýzy vytvorenej medzivrstvy prebiehali za použitia FTIR spektrometrie a vrypového testu. Vliv povrchovej úpravy bol zistený pomocou získanej interlaminárnej šmykovej sily použítím testu krátkych trámečkov.

Surface modification of glass fibers using plasma nanotechnology
Sedlák, Filip ; Knob, Antonín (referee) ; Čech, Vladimír (advisor)
Diploma thesis is aimed at deposition of thin films on glass fibers using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition from tetravinylsilane as a monomer. Such surface modified glass fibers were used as reinforcements for fabrication of polymer composites with unsaturated polyester resin as a matrix. Chemical and optical properties of prepared thin films were characterized using infared spectroscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry. An influence of deposited thin films on the shear strength of composite material was observed using short-beam shear test.

NUMERICAL ESTIMATION OF MICRO-CRACK PATHS IN POLYMER PARTICULATE COMPOSITE
Majer, Z. ; Náhlík, Luboš
Determination of composite mechanical behavior is one of important part during the composite tailoring. The aim of the present work was to estimate a micro-crack behavior in a polymer particulate composite. The composite was investigated by means of the finite element method -using ANSYS software. A two-dimensional three-phase finite element model was developed to analyze the crack growth behavior. The assumptions of the linear elastic fracture mechanics were considered and the Maximum Tangential Stress (MTS) criterion was used to predict the direction of the crack propagation. The effect of the elastic modulus of the interphase on the micro-crack propagation was investigated. The properties of matrix and particles were taken from experiment. It was shown that the interphase properties influence the stress intensity factor KI as well as the micro-crack paths. The results of this paper can contribute to a better understanding of the micro-crack propagation in particulate composites with respect to the interphase.

Surface modification of glass fibers for polymer composites
Knob, Antonín ; Marek,, Aleš (referee) ; Burša, Jiří (referee) ; Čech, Vladimír (advisor)
The doctoral thesis is aimed at preparation of glass fiber reinforced polymer composites with controlled interphase formed by plasma-polymerized tetravinylsilane and tetravinylsilane/oxygen thin films. The thin polymer films of specific physico-chemical properties and thickness were deposited to improve interfacial adhesion of glass fiber/polyester composites. The fiber surface modification was performed by using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition in low-temperature RF plasma operating in an various effective power range and different treatment time. Test results were examined in relation to the interlayer thickness and different treatment conditions. The prepared interlayers were analyzed to evaluate physico-chemical composition and properties (XPS, RBS, ERDA, FTIR and spectroscopic elipsometry). Selected mechanical properties were evaluated by AFM. Mechanical response of plasma interlayers was evaluated by short beam shear test and direct method of testing the interfacial shear strength using microindentation. The interphase shear failure was controlled by the shear strength at the interlayer/fiber interface as follows from experimental and model data.

Mechanical response of long-fiber-reinforced polymer composite
Škriniarová, Nina ; Prokeš, Jan (referee) ; Čech, Vladimír (advisor)
This diploma thesis is focused on monitoring of mechanical response of long-fiber reinforced polymer composite. Main part of this thesis was preparation of long-fiber reinforced composite specimens, on which matrix was reinforced by commercially sized glass fibers. For comparison of properties were prepared specimens reinforced by unsized glass fibers. Apart from preparing specimens reinforced by long glass fibers were prepared specimens contains long carbon fibers. For evaluation of mechanical response of the prepared composite specimen were used flexural test and short beam shear test. Mechanical response was evaluated with universal testing machine ZWICK Z010 and data were processed in OriginPro 8 program. Thanks to evaluation of the mechanical response of the prepared specimens was assessed adhesion to fiber-matrix interface. By examining the mechanical response or adhesion can be assessed efficiency of commercial fiber surface treatment and so standardize measurement to compare other options of surface treatments.

Některé aspekty chování polymerních částicových kompozitů

Computation of the internal stress and strain fields in the microstructural level of the studied composite and understanding of microcracks behaviour in the interaction with particles is the first step to understanding the global behaviour of the composite based on microstructural morphology. Therefore, particle reinforced composite has been modelled as a three-phase material with homogenously distributed coated particles and numerically studied on the microscopic scale using finite element modelling. The FEM modelling and unit cell models provide an effective tools for parametric study of the three-phase composite mechanical properties.

Kompozity PMMA s anorganickým plnivem: interpretace vlivu struktury matrice za přítomnosti plniva
Dušková, Miroslava ; Dušek, Karel ; Zelenka, J.
The study showed that the properties of a glassy composite with crosslinked matrix adhering to the rigid filler particles are sensitive to the polymer network structure of the matrix . It was proved by morphological, swelling and mechanical studies that the adhesion between the crosslinked poly(methyl methacrylate) matrix and the ATH filler is maintained in the swollen state and during small-strain. In the swollen state or at temperatures about 60 °C above Tg, the mechanical relaxations are relatively fast and equilibrium can be reached within approximately one hour. A model of equilibrium swelling constrained by surfaces of various geometries has been developed based on statistical thermodynamics of (Gaussian) networks.
