| Abstract | Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulu Tampere University of Applied Sciences Degree Program of Paper-, Textileand Chemical Engineering Chemical Engineering SALONEN, SAMU: Environmental Degradation of Glass-fiber Reinforced Vinyl Ester Bachelor's thesis 124 pages, appendices 42 pages August 2013 The objective of this research was to study vinyl ester composite grating. Vinyl ester polymers are utilized in various chemically challenging environments. This thesis project focused on the chemical resistance of glass fiber reinforced vinyl ester resin. The material characteristics and its suitability to desired operating conditions were the key subjects of the research. To understand the characteristics of the composite product it is essential to understand the properties of the building blocks and their relations. This thesis determines the concept of composites and deals with resin materials and reinforcements. The material properties were examined under diverse stress. The chemical environments effect on the material was tested with flexural property tests, moisture absorption tests and by visual observation tests. Flexural property tests and moisture absorption tests were exploited by ASTM standards the best way possible. With the designed series of experiments it was possible to understand the mechanical property degradation of vinyl ester composite in chemically challenging environment. The bachelor’s thesis is done from the request of Metso Power Oy. The thesis parts sample material, research methodology, results, discussion, conclusion and appendices are confidential. |
