Investigation of the fracture mechanism and mechanical properties of polystyrene/silica nanocomposite in various silica contents
Source abstract
Abstract
There is limited research on the effect of silica on the mechanical properties of polystyrene. For this lack of information, this study has focused on the fracture mechanism and mechanical properties of Polystyrene/silica nanocomposite. Transmission electron microscopy showed proper dispersion of nanoparticles in PS matrix in both low and high filler loadings. Scanning electron microscopy, TOM micrography, and non-contact surface profiler were used to study the fracture surface and fracture mechanism characteristics of the nanocomposite. It seems that the debonding mechanism is an important mechanism in toughening of Polystyrene/silica nanocomposites. In addition, mechanical behavior of the samples was investigated. Tensile, flexural, and compressive strength and also impact and plain-strain fracture toughness of nanocomposite samples showed different behaviors in low and high nanoparticle loadings and interestingly, we found an optimum value less than 2% for nanoparticle loading in which we observed the highest improvement in mechanical properties of the nanocomposite.
