In this study, the challenges of brittleness and flammability in Polyamide 6/glass fiber (PA6/GF) composites, which are crucial for heat-resistant and stress-bearing structural parts, are addressed. Polyphosphazene (PZ) elastomers, known for their exceptional flame-retardant properties, are introduced to enhance the robustness and safety of these composites. Specifically, poly(diaryloxy)phosphazene (PDAP) and poly(difluoroalkoxy)phosphazene (PDFP) are utilized, both contributing to the improved toughness and flame resistance of the PA6/GF composites. Experimental results show that PDAP mainly played the role of solid-phase flame retardant, while PDFP mainly acted the role of gas-phase flame retardant. For PA/PZs composites without adding GF, PDFP plays a more efficient flame retardant effect than PDAP. By introducing 15 Vol% of PDFP, the limiting oxygen index (LOI) of the composite reached 26.1%, while the notched impact strength increased by 297%. For PA/PZs/GF composites, PDAP plays a better flame retardant role than PDFP. Under the action of 30 vol% GF and 15 vol% PDAP, the LOI of PA6/PDAP/GF composite reached 26.8%, and the notch impact strength improved to 18.7 kJ/m 2 , which is 165% higher than that of PA6/GF, and the UL-94 test reaches V-0 level. The findings of the study highlight the potential of PDAP and PDFP to act as dual-function modifiers. These modifiers can considerably ameliorate both the impact resistance and flame retardancy of PA6 and PA6/GF composites. Such dual enhancement surpasses the typical trade-offs seen in conventional composites, indicating a constructive direction for future material innovation. Highlights Polyphosphazenes simultaneously enhance PA6's toughness & flame resistance. Distinct flame retardant mechanisms found in PDAP and PDFP. GF presence alters PDAP and PDFP's flame retardant efficacy. PDAP shows superior flame resistance in GF-reinforced PA6 composites. Without GF, PDFP outperforms PDAP in enhancing flame retardancy.

Due to the rapid development of multifunctional and miniaturized electronic devices, the demand for polymer composites with mechanical properties, high-thermal conductivity, and dielectric properties is increasing. Therefore, the heat dissipation capacity of the composite must be improved. To solve this problem, we report a glass fabric (GF)/boron nitride (BN) network with a highly thermally conductive hetero-structured formed using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as an adhesive. The GF and BN are furtherly modified by (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) for better thermal conductivity enhancement. When the BN content is 30%, the thermal diffusion coefficient and thermal conductivity of obtained PVA-mBN@mGF (PBG) are 2.843 mm 2 /s and 1.394 W/(m K), respectively. Epoxy (EP) resin is then introduced to prepare PBG/mBN/EP laminated composites via the hot pressing method as applied as thermal conductive composites. A highest thermal conductivity of 0.67 W/(m K) of PBG/mBN/EP laminated composites is obtained, three times higher than that of pure EP. In addition, the PBG/mBN/EP laminated composites also present favorable mechanical, electrically insulating, and dielectric properties.

To improve the thermal and mechanical properties of epoxy resins, epoxy-functionalized POSS (E-POSS) and glass fiber (GF) were used to reinforce epoxy resin (E51) composites. The tensile, thermo-mechanical, fractured, and thermal tests were carried out to characterize these hybrid materials. The results show that E-POSS and GF could significantly improve the mechanical and thermal properties of epoxy resins due to high crosslink density of resin matrix and synergistic interaction between the epoxy resin, E-POSS, and GF. Compared with the pure E51 resin, the tensile strength of the E51 + E-POSS (10%) + GF (16%) sample increased by 257.6%, and the thermal decomposition temperature (Td5%) of the E51 + E-POSS (10%) + GF (16%) sample increased by 32 °C to 378 °C.Keywords:epoxy resin;epoxy-functionalized POSS;composites;glass fiber

Designability of glass fiber (GF) for microwave absorption is frequently neglected in buoyancy matrixes, which overcomes difficulties for their poor polarization loss to realize lightweight and efficient microwave absorption performance. In this study, GF coated with polypyrrole shell (GF@PPy) for multi-layered interface was successfully prepared through surface etching GF and then in-situ growth of PPy. According to the etching process of GF, GF@PPy-t40 (NaOH concentration with 16.67 mol/L, etching time with 40 min) demonstrates the efficient microwave absorption performance. Minimum reflection loss (RL min ) of GF@PPy-t40 (-10.40 dB, 3.0 mm) is 1.5 times that of GF@PPy-w10 (NaOH concentration with 2.78 mol/L) and 1.2 times that of GF@PPy-t60 (etching time with 60 min), which is ascribed to the enhancement of polarized sites caused by surface defects through appropriate etching concentration and time for NaOH. Based on the above etching conditions, we controlled the loading of in-situ polymerized PPy on GF through adjusting the concentration of pyrrole, realizing the impedance matching of 20 wt% GF@PPy in paraffin ring. GF@PPy-c60 (pyrrole concentration as 1.5 g) possesses the best microwave absorption performance, its RL min is up to −30.40 dB (14.96 GHz, 1.5 mm) and effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) reaches to 4.8 GHz, which is ascribed to its excellent impedance matching. Especially, the density of GF@PPy-c60 can reach to 1.65 g cm −3 , which is far below that of commercial GF (2.4–2.7 g cm −3 ). This modification lighters GF and effectively enhances microwave absorption performance, providing a basis for the radar stealth of GF in the marine environment.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to improve the mechanical properties of PBAT. Polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) has excellent biodegradability, which has been widely used in various fields, such as biomedical supplies, plastic packaging materials, industrial composting and daily sanitary consumables. However, the application of PBAT is limited by its high production costs and poor mechanical property. In this study, the glass fiber (GF)/PBAT composites were prepared, and the effect of GF and the modifiers on the structure, mechanical properties and shape memory properties of the composites were investigated.Design/methodology/approachIn this work, GF, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH550) and chain extender ADR 4370 were selected as reinforcement, GF and chain extender, respectively. The GF/PBAT, KH550-modified GF/PBAT and ADR-modified GF/PBAT composites were prepared by melt blending, extrusion granulation and hot pressing.FindingsThe study showed that the fracture strength and elongation at break of PBAT decreased with the increasing of GF, and the decline is controlled after addition of KH550 and ADR 3470. When the GF content was low (such as 5 wt% and 10 wt%), KH550 significantly improved the mechanical properties of the composites. When the GF content was high (such as 20 wt% and 25 wt%), the mechanical properties of the composites were obviously improved by addition of ADR 3470. In addition, the shape memory fixity ratios (Rf) and shape memory recovery ratios (Rr) of the composites increased and decreased with increase of GF content, the prestrain and tensile temperature, respectively. Furthermore, the Rf of the KH550 modified GF/PBAT composites were the lowest, the Rr were the highest than that of the ADR modified GF/PBAT composites and the untreated GF/PBAT composites.Research limitations/implicationsGF/PBAT composites exhibited good mechanical properties and low production costs. The research can help promote the widespread use of PBAT and alleviate the situation of serious plastic pollution.Originality/valueA novel biodegradable GF/PBAT composite was developed by chain extender ADR 4370, incorporating environmentally friendly GF with excellent mechanical properties into PBAT.

Silane coupling agents play an indispensable role in improving interfacial adhesion of composite materials, but their interaction mechanism is often unclear. This article combines experiments and theoretical calculations to reveal the importance of hydrogen bonds between silane coupling agents and the matrix polyamide 6 in improving the mechanical properties of composite materials. Firstly, glycine bridged silane (GBSilane) was synthesized and the structure was confirmed by FT-IR, 1H NMR and HRMS. Secondly, with glass fiber treated using GBSilane as a filler, the mechanical properties of glass fiber/PA6 composite materials were studied. Compared with untreated glass fiber/PA6 composites, under the optimal treatment concentration of 1.5%, the tensile strength of glass fiber/PA6 composites treated with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES) and GBSilane increased by 41% and 67%, respectively, and the notch impact strength increased by 55% and 96.5%, respectively. Lastly, density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that stronger hydrogen bonds have formed between GBSilane and PA6 than APTES, which have induced the stronger PA6–GBSilane binding energy of 58.20 kJ mol−1. By comparison, the binding energy of PA6–APTES is only 30.91 kJ mol−1. These results demonstrated that the as-synthesized GBSilane could improve the mechanical properties of PA6 composites through an enhanced hydrogen bonding mechanism.

To solve the non-renewable and flammability of traditional epoxy composites, a new type of intrinsic flame-retardant epoxy (VH/GF) composite was fabricated from vanillin-based epoxy resin (VH) and glass fibre (GF). The T 5% of VH/GF was higher than that of DGEBA/GF, and CY 800 of VH/GF reached above 84 wt%. VH/GF obtained a limiting oxygen index as high as above 90 % and passed UL-94 V-0 rating. Compared with DGEBA/GF, the total heat release, total smoke production, maximal smoke density of VH/GF reduced by more than 72 %, 91 % and 81 %, respectively. The physical barrier of glass fibre and excellent char formation ability of VH endowed VH/GF composite with good condensed phase flame-retardant effect. When the mass ratio of matrix and glass fibre was 5:5, the storage modulus and glass transition temperature of VH/GF were 6.34 GPa and 205 °C, and its tensile strength and elongation at break were 348.36 MPa and 4.01 %. This work provides new research insights for bio-based epoxy resin in high-performance fire safety composites.

Flexible electronics demand conductive films with high stability and conductivity. However, silver nanowires (AgNWs) face challenges like agglomeration and inconsistent morphology. In this study, AgNWs were synthesized via a two-step process: (1) preliminary growth using a glass fiber template and polyol method (diameter: 0.2–0.4 μm, length: 1–6 μm), and (2) secondary growth by mixing AgNWs with PVA solution followed by heat treatment. The secondary growth enhanced nanowire dimensions (diameter: 5–7 μm, length: 100–200 μm) and conductivity. The optimized film exhibited stable resistance (4 MΩ) after 5000 bends (90° and 180°) and achieved optimal performance at 100 °C/30 min. This method provides a scalable solution for flexible electronics.

Glass fiber/poly(ether ether ketone) (GF/PEEK) composite foams with improved compressive strength and heat resistance can be successfully prepared using a simple and environmentally friendly supercritical carbon dioxide (sc-CO 2 ) foaming technology. The cell morphologies of the foams can be controlled by adjusting the GF content and foaming parameters, including the saturation temperature, saturation time, saturation pressure, and depressurization rate. With a foam density of 0.55 g cm −3 , the PEEK-based composite foam having 30% GF content has a 10% compressive strength of 11.07 MPa, and its density varies negligibly up to 330.0 °C. The GF/PEEK composite foams having high GF contents show significantly better properties than those having low GF contents as a result of the supporting and strengthening effect of the GF in the PEEK cell walls. The GF/PEEK composite foams also show good corrosion resistance. As a result of these properties, the GF/PEEK composite foams are promising high-performance materials for use in extreme environments.

Glass fiber fabrics/hollow glass microspheres (HGM)–waterborne polyurethane (WPU) textile composites were prepared using glass fiber, WPU, and HGM as skeleton material, binder, and insulation filler, respectively, to study the effect of HGM on the thermal insulation performance of glass fiber fabrics. Scanning electron microscopy, Instron 3367 tensile test instrument, thermal constant analysis, and infrared thermal imaging were used to determine the cross-sectional morphology, mechanical property, thermal conductivity, and thermal insulation property, respectively, of the developed materials. The results show that the addition of HGM mixed in WPU significantly enhanced thermal insulation performance of the textile composite with the reduction of thermal conductivity of 45.2% when the volume ratio of HGM to WPU is 0.8 compared with that of material without HGM. The composite can achieve the thermal insulation effect with a temperature difference of 17.74 °C at the temperature field of 70 °C. Meanwhile, the tensile strength of the composite is improved from 14.16 to 22.14 MPa. With these results, it is confirmed that designing hollow glass microspheres (HGM) is an effective way to develop and enhance the high performance of insulation materials with an obvious lightweight of the bulk density reaching about 50%.Keywords:hollow glass microsphere (HGM);thermal insulation;glass fiber fabric;composites

Plastic waste recycling is a focal point in today's sustainable development efforts. Improper disposal can lead to secondary pollution, posing threats to the environment and human health. In this study, we aim to recycle waste epoxy resin and glass fiber-reinforced epoxy resin composites via an electroless plating and a carbonization process, to design high-value-added carbon materials for microwave absorption. By pulverizing solid waste and introducing magnetic metal nanoparticles onto its surface, a composite carbon material capable of excellent microwave absorption performance was successfully developed. Specifically, doping nickel particles into carbon materials derived from glass fiber/epoxy resin achieved a wide effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 5.9 GHz with a matching thickness of 1.9 mm, covering nearly the entire Ku band, and achieving a minimum reflection loss (RL min ) of −36 dB simultaneously. The superior absorption performance is attributed to multiple reflections or scattering of electromagnetic waves within the material, as well as conduction and magnetic losses, dipole and interfacial polarization effects. These results demonstrate that through rational design and optimization, waste epoxy and waste glass fiber-reinforced epoxy resin-based composite materials can be effectively recycled into high-performance microwave absorbing materials, offering a straightforward and efficient pathway for waste resource utilization.

Carbon-based supercapacitor textiles with superior electrochemical performance and mechanical flexibility have attracted considerable attention as an important category of smart wearable textiles. However, the time-consuming fabrication process and high production cost limit their practical application. Herein, inexpensive composite electrodes composed of commercial activated carbon (AC), carbonized asphalt (CA) derived from recycled asphalt pavement and fiberglass cloth (FGC) were prepared via a facile dip-coating method, followed by one-step carbonization process. The effects of carbonization temperature and the mass ratio of AC to asphalt on the structure and electrochemical performance of the AC/CA/FGC electrodes have been investigated. The AC/CA/FGC electrode prepared at optimum conditions has a high specific capacitance of 499.3 mF cm−2 at 1 mA cm−2. The as-fabricated all-solid-state symmetric AC/CA/FGC supercapacitor exhibits excellent specific capacitance of 85.4 mF cm−2, power density of 1.23 mW cm−2, energy density of 7.60 μWh cm−2, 87% capacitance retention after 10000 charge/discharge cycles and outstanding mechanical flexibility. The desired overall performance, scalable manufacturing process and relatively low production cost demonstrate the potential of AC/CA/FGC supercapacitor textile for the application in high-performance energy storage textiles.
