Abstract
To improve their interfacial properties, 3D orthogonal woven fabrics with basalt filament yarns were modified with functionalized carboxylated carbon nanotubes (KH570-MWCNTs) and polydopamine (PDA).

To improve their interfacial properties, 3D orthogonal woven fabrics with basalt filament yarns were modified with functionalized carboxylated carbon nanotubes (KH570-MWCNTs) and polydopamine (PDA). Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) testing were used. It was demonstrated that both methods could successfully modify basalt fiber (BF) 3D woven fabrics. The 3D orthogonal woven composites (3DOWC) were produced with epoxy resin and 3D orthogonal woven fabrics as raw material by the VARTM molding process. The bending properties of the 3DOWC were tested and analyzed by experimental and finite element analysis methods. The results showed that the bending properties of the 3DOWC modified by KH570-MWCNTs and PDA were significantly improved, and the maximum bending loads were increased by 31.5% and 31.0%. The findings of the finite element simulation and the experiment results were in good agreement, and the simulation error value was 3.37%. The correctness of the finite element simulation results and the model’s validity further reveal the material’s damage situation and damage mechanism in the bending process. Full article

In recent years, basalt-fiber-reinforced polymers (BFRPs) have been widely used in the field of corrosive aging resistance. In this paper, BFRPs are made into composite laminates, and the flexural properties of BFRPs modified with different types of silane coupling agents, KH550 (aminopropyl-triethoxysilane), KH560 (glycidyletheroxypropyl-trimethoxysilane), and A171 (vinyl-trimethoxysilane), immersed at 20 °C, 40 °C, and 60 °C in a 3.5% NaCl concentration artificial seawater, a 10% NaCl high-concentration artificial seawater, 10% H2SO4, or 10% NaOH are investigated. The results show that the flexural strength decreased with increasing exposure time in corrosive aging environments at different temperatures. The temperature greatly influences flexural strength, and the flexural strength decreases rapidly in high-temperature acidic and alkaline environments. In addition, we found that the flexural retention in the seawater environment did not change much compared to that in the water environment, indicating that BFRPs have relatively good resistance to seawater corrosion. The silane coupling agent modification enhances flexural strength and flexural strength retention by enhancing the interfacial bonding property of the BFRPs. Considering the experimental results, the three silane coupling agents modified the corrosive aging performance of the composites in the order of KH550 > KH560 > A171. This will provide theoretical support for the application of silane-coupling-agent-modified BFRPs in corrosive aging environments. Full article

In this paper, glass fiber fabric reinforced polyphenylene sulfide composites were prepared by hot pressing. The effects of glass fibre modification and hot pressing temperature on the properties of the composites were investigated using a scanning electron microscope, infrared spectrometer, universal testing machine, and DIGEYE digital imaging colour measurement system. The results show that after the treatment with a silane coupling agent, the silane coupling agent was more uniformly distributed on the surface of the glass fibres, and the bonding effect between the glass fibre fabric and polyphenylene sulphide was significantly improved. The strength of the composites increased and then decreased with the increase of hot pressing temperature, and the surface colour of the composites became darker and darker. When the hot-pressing temperature is 310 °C, the mechanical properties of glass fabric-reinforced polyphenylene sulfide composites are at their best, the tensile strength reaches 51.9 MPa, and the bending strength reaches 78 MPa.

Textile materials modified with copper-containing particles have antibacterial and antiviral properties that have prospects for use in healthcare. In the study, textile materials were saturated with copper-containing particles in their entire material volume by the absorption/diffusion method. The antibacterial properties of modified textile materials were confirmed by their inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus, a Gram-positive bacterium that spreads predominantly through the respiratory tract. For the modification, ordinary textile materials of various origins and fiber structures were used. Technological conditions and compositions of modifying solutions were established, as well as the most suitable textile materials for modification. To assess the morphological and physical characteristics of copper-containing particles and the textile materials themselves, X-ray diffraction, a scanning electron microscope, and an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrum were used. In modified textile samples, XRD data showed the presence of crystalline phases of copper (Cu) and copper (I) oxide (Cu2O). On the grounds of the SEM/EDS analysis, the saturation of textile materials with copper-containing particles depends on the structure of the textile materials and the origins of the fibers included in their composition, as well as the modification conditions and the copper precursor.

Glass fibre-reinforced polyphenylene sulphide composites were prepared by hot-pressing glass fibre fabrics and polyphenylene sulphide resins. The effects of different polyphenylene sulphide resin forms on the properties of the composites were investigated using scanning electron microscopy, dynamic mechanical analyser, pendulum impact tester and universal testing machine. The results showed that different polyphenylene sulphide resin forms had nearly no effect on the glass transition temperature of the composites, which are all located at about 100 °C. Compared with other polyphenylene sulphide composites, the bending strength of polyphenylene sulphide film composites was the highest, reaching 314.58 MPa, and the impact strength of polyphenylene sulphide particle composites was the highest, reaching 245.4 KJ/m2. The bending strength and impact strength were calculated using a standard fraction, and the highest standard fraction was obtained when the ratio of polyphenylene sulphide film to particle was 1:2. The impact strength and bending strength could be obtained. The impact strength reached 229.8 KJ/m2, and the bending strength reached 284.16 MPa. Full article
