Reusing recycled fibers in high-value fiber-reinforced polymer composites: Improving bending strength by surface cleaning
Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites were recycled using superheated steam. Recycled glass fibers (R-GFs) and recycled carbon fibers (R-CFs) were surface treated for reuse as fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. Treated R-GFs (TR-GFs) and treated R-CFs (TR-CFs) were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and remanufactured by vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM). Most residual resin impurities were removed by surface treatment. Analysis indicated no adverse effect of surface treatment on bending strength. The mechanical properties of the TR-GF reinforced polymer (TR-GFRP) and TR-CF reinforced polymer (TR-CFRP) composites were determined and compared with those of R-GF reinforced polymer (R-GFRP) and R-CF reinforced polymer (R-CFRP). The bending strengths of R-GFRP (26%) and R-CFRP (49%) were very low, compared to that of virgin glass fiber-reinforced polymer (V-GFRP) and that of virgin carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (V-CFRP). The bending strength of TR-GFRP composites was improved to about 90% of that of V-GFRP, and the bending strength of TR-CFRP composites was improved to about 80% of that of V-CFRP.ArticleCOMPOSITES SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY. 72(11):1298-1303 (2012)journal articl
2-MethÂoxy-4-methyl-1-[1-(phenylÂsulfonÂyl)propan-2-yl]benzene
The title molÂecule, C17H20O3S, displays a U-shaped structure; the two benzene rings are nearly parallel and partially overlapped to each other, the dihedral angle and centroid-to-centroid distance being 15.0 (2)° and 3.723 (2) Å. In the crystal, weak interÂmolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molÂecules, forming supraÂmolecular chains running along the a axis
Study on failure warning of tool magazine and automatic tool changer
Tool magazine and automatic tool changer (ATC) is used to store and change tools in a machining center, which plays an important role in automatic manufacturing. Therefore, the stability and reliability of tool magazine and ATC is very important to a machining center. Failures of tool magazine and ATC would increase ramp-up repair time and repair cost. So early warning system of failures for tool magazine and ATC becomes a research hotspot. The main vibration signals of tool magazine and ATC would occur obviously when the tool arm grasps a tool holder, draws a tool holder out of a tool into spindle or tool pocket and inserts a tool holder into spindle or tool pocket. To predict failures of tool magazine and ATC and improve the availability of machining center, a vibration test procedure and calculation method of vibration signal threshold of pull nails looseness which can lead to tool falling failures are proposed based on the vibration detection theory. Then, the vibration signals of tool changing are analyzed and the relationship between the maximum amplitude of vibration signals and the looseness severity of pull nails is also illustrated. The final experiment results show that the tool falling failure warning method is feasible to reduce the failures of tool magazine and ATC through the early warning system based on the threshold of vibration signals
