Composite pipe: Glass fiber and polymer interfacial shear strength & surface energy characterizations

长距离使用大口径管道输送液体是一种常见的材料输送方式 石油和其他相关行业。钢管通常用于这一目的；然而，腐蚀性 环境有时会使长时间使用钢管变得极其困难，而不会产生昂贵的成本 维护要求。加拿大ShawCor公司有意开发下一代 用于此目的的复合管。纤维和聚合物之间的粘合强度是强度的关键 复合管及其承受8英寸管所需压力1500磅/平方英寸的能力。 这个项目的学术合作伙伴，将扩展他们的专业知识和最先进的设施来评估 高强复合管设计中聚合物-纤维界面的基本特征

Using large diameter pipes over long distances to carry fluids is a common material transportation method for oil and other related industries. Steel pipes have been conventionally used for this purpose; however, corrosive environments sometimes make it extremely difficult to use steel pipes over long periods of time without costly maintenance requirements. ShawCor, a Canadian Company, intends to develop the next generation of composite pipe fro this purpose. Bonding strength between the fibre and the polymer is critical to the strength of the composite pipe and its' ability to withstand the required pressure of 1500 psi on an 8" pipe. CBBP-UOT, academic partner of this project, will extend their expert know-how and state-of art facilities to evaluate fundamental characteristics of polymer-fibre interface in designing high strength composite pipes.
