PHASE TRANSFORMATION OF COMPOSITES VIA RESISTIVE HEATING Undergraduate Researcher: Alicia Martin Faculty Advisor: Dr. Carl Frick Mechanical Engineering University of Wyoming

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)  Excellent mechanical properties  Strength  Stiffness  Chemically resistant  Aromatic (containing phenyl rings)  High glass transition temperature  Good thermal stability Spinal Implants Manufactured from PEEK Phenyl Rings

Multi Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs)  Excellent conductivity  Functional surfaces  -OH Functionalized Improve dispersion  Non-Functionalized  Addition of MWCNTs to PEEK will increase strength and stiffness  Provide a current path for resistive heating  Induce phase transition MWCNT Model – (helixmaterials.com)

Amorphous and Crystalline  Crystalline  Amorphous  Glass transition temperature (T g ) Transition

Goal of Research Establish a reliable composite manufacturing technique.  Based on preliminary framework for pure PEEK Resistively induce an amorphous-to-crystalline transition.  Non-traditional phase transition induction (without applied heat)  Characterization for future use

Manufacturing - Amorphous PEEK  Equipment Specifications WABASH hydraulic press 5 ksi (34.5 MPa) and 750°F (400°C) Two thin circular plates with rectangular mold  Process Specifications 1 Tablespoon of powder Plates in press for 10 minutes Water/Ice bath for quenching * Non-homogeneous  Pockets of various nucleating amorphous patterns WABASH Hydraulic Press

Manufacturing - Amorphous PEEK/MWCNT Composite  Material procurement  US Research Nanomaterials Inc.  5.0 vol. % MWCNTs to PEEK  Volume percent based on preliminary framework by Amy DiRienzo  Ethanol Suspension  24 hrs on hot plate at 203°F (95 °C)  12 hrs in vacuum oven  Powder sintering technique similar to pure PEEK

Testing - Phase Transition  Resistive Heating  Powerstat Variable Autotransformer  Heat composite through T g  Dynamic Mechanical Analysis  TA Instruments Q Series 800 DMA  Show amorphous/crystalline behavior Resistive Heating Apparatus TA Instruments Q Series 800 DMA

Testing - Mechanical Behavior  Tensile Tests  858 Mini Bionix II Load Cell  Show strength and strain to failure  Fracture Analysis  Scanning Electron Microscopy  Show MWCNT dispersion on fractured surface 858 Mini Bionix II Load Cell

Results – Resistive Heating  Early sample destruction  Ramp voltage at 10volts/2min  Recovery  Dial immediately to higher voltage

Results – DMA Testing of PEEK  Amorphous behavior of manufactured samples  Amorphous to Crystalline transition observed after oven heating

Results – DMA Testing of Non-Functionalized Composites  Amorphous behavior of manufactured samples  Crystalline behavior after oven heating  Crystalline behavior after resistive heating

Results – DMA Testing of –OH Functionalized Composites  Amorphous behavior of manufactured samples  Crystalline behavior after oven heating  Crystalline behavior after resistive heating

Results – Tensile Tests  Each composite showed higher strength and less ductility than pure PEEK

Results – Fracture Analysis Non-Functionalized Fracture Surface Composite Fracture Surface 40 μ m 4 μ m Composite Fracture Surface 40 μ m -OH Functionalized Fracture Surface 4 μ m

Conclusion  Successful phase transformation via resistive heating  Early resistive heating quantification tests ended in failure of sample Temperature/voltage relationship could be time dependent Underestimating temperature measurements with current set-up  Fast voltage ramp rate for phase transition  SEM and tensile tests  Good dispersion of MWCNTs Good contact for current path  MWCNT effective reinforcement

Conclusion  Future Work  Basis for Master’s Thesis Apply resistive heating framework to other networks  Quantify destructive resistive heating behavior
