A Review of Parameter Ranges for Uncertainty Estimation for Decomposing Carbon Fiber Epoxy Composites

Scott, Sarah

Carbon fiber epoxy composites are increasingly used in systems requiring a material that is both strong and light weight, as in airplanes, cars, and pressure vessels. In fire environments, carbon fiber epoxy composites are a fuel source subject to oxidation. This literature review seeks to provide material properties as well as uncertainty bounds for those properties for computational models of decomposing carbon fiber epoxy composites. The goal is to guide analysts when measurements are lacking and increase credibility of uncertainty quantification ranges.

Structural and Spectroscopic Properties of Butanediol-Modified Boehmite Materials

Journal of Physical Chemistry C

Greathouse, Jeffery A.; Weck, Philippe F.; Bell, Nelson S.; Kruichak-Duhigg, Jessica N.; Matteo, Edward N.

Glycoboehmite (GB) materials are synthesized by a solvothermal reaction to form layered aluminum oxyhydroxide (boehmite) modified by intercalated butanediol molecules. These hybrid materials offer a platform to design materials with potentially novel sorption, wetting, and catalytic properties. Several synthetic methods have been used, resulting in different structural and spectroscopic properties, but atomistic detail is needed to determine the interlayer structure to explore the synthetic control of GB materials. Here, we use classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to compare the structural properties of GB interlayers containing chemisorbed butanediol molecules as a function of diol loading. Accompanying quantum (density functional theory, DFT) static calculations and MD simulations are used to validate the classical model and compute the infrared spectra of various models. Classical MD results reveal the existence of two unique interlayer environments at higher butanediol loading, corresponding to smaller (cross-linked) and expanded interlayers. DFT-computed infrared spectra reveal the sensitivity of the aluminol O-H stretch frequencies to the interlayer environment, consistent with the spectrum of the synthesized material. Insight from these simulations will aid in the characterization of the newly synthesized GB materials.
