ABSTRACT

Effect of loading rate on toughness characteristics of hybrid rubber-modified epoxy was investigated. Epoxy was modified by amine-terminated butadiene acrylonitrile (ATBN) and recycled tire. Samples were tested at various loading rates of 1–1000 mm/min. Fracture toughness measurements revealed synergistic toughening in hybrid system at low loading rates (1–10 mm/min); hybrid system exhibited higher fracture toughness value in comparison with the ATBN-modified resin with same modifier content. However, synergistic toughening was eliminated by increasing the loading rate. At higher loading rates (10–1000), the fracture toughness of hybrid system decreased gradually to the level lower than that of ATBN-modified epoxy. Fractography of the damage zones showed the toughening mechanisms of ATBN-modified system was less affected by increasing the loading rate compared to that of hybrid system.

ABSTRACT

The fracture behavior of a hybrid-rubber-modified epoxy system was investigated. The modified epoxy included amine-terminated butadiene acrylonitrile (ATBN) rubber and recycled tire particles as fine and coarse modifiers, respectively. The results of the fracture toughness (KIC) measurement of the blends revealed synergistic toughening in the hybrid system when 7.5-phr small particles (ATBN) and 2.5-phr large particles (recycled tire) were incorporated. Transmission optical micrographs showed different toughening mechanisms for the blends; fine ATBN particles increased the toughness by increasing the size of the damage zone and respective plastic deformation in the vicinity of the crack tip. However, in the case of hybrid resin, coarse recycled rubber particles acted as large stress concentrators and resulted in the branching of the original crack tip. Mode mixity at the branch tips led to synergistic KIC in the hybrid system. It seemed that the ductility of the matrix played an effective role in the nature of the crack-tip damage zone in the hybrid epoxies

ABSTRACT

Effect of loading rate on toughness characteristics of hybrid rubber-modified epoxy was investigated. Epoxy was modified by amine-terminated butadiene acrylonitrile (ATBN) and recycled tire. Samples were tested at various loading rates of 1–1000 mm/ min. Fracture toughness measurements revealed synergistic toughening in hybrid system at low loading rates (1–10 mm/min); hybrid system exhibited higher fracture toughness value in comparison with the ATBN-modified resin with same modifier content. However, synergistic toughening was eliminated by increasing the loading rate. At higher loading rates (10–1000), the fracture toughness of hybrid system decreased gradually to the level lower than that of ATBN-modified epoxy. Fractography of the damage zones showed the toughening mechanisms of ATBN-modified system was less affected by increasing the loading rate compared to that of hybrid system.
