Abstract

In this work, short-carbon-fiber-reinforced polypropylene (SCF/PP) composite was prepared with blending and hot-pressing techniques. The tensile and hardness properties and work of fracture (WOF) of this composite were investigated. The tensile strength and modulus of SCF/PP composite were studied taking into account the combined effect of fiber weight fraction and mean fiber length. The composite WOF was studied via the un-notched Izod impact energy. The Izod impact tests were performed with an Izod tester on specimens with un-notches. The WOF of composite was investigated by taking into account the effects of fiber weight fraction and mean fiber length.

Dalam kajian ini, komposit polip ropilena bertetulang gentian karbon pendek disedikan melalui teknik tekanan panas dan pengadunan lebur. Sifat kekuatan tegangan dan kekerasan serta kerja patah (WOF) bagi komposit ini akan dikaji. Kekuatan tegangan dan modulus bagi komposit SCF/PP dikaji dengan mengambil kira kombinasi, kesan pecahan jisim karbon dan purata panjang karbon. WOF bagi komposit pula dikaji melalui tenaga hentaman Izod tanpa takuk. ujian hentaman Izod dilakukan menggunakan alat penguji Izod ke atas specimen tanpa takuk-komposit WOF dikaji dengan mangambil kira kesan pecahan jisim karbon dan purata panjang karbon.
