dc.description.abstract |
Polymers are used in various industrial applications due to their ease of production, light weight, and ductility. Fillers such as clays are added to polymers to improve a range of factors such as material processing, thermal properties, fire retardance and cost. However, adding clays may negatively impact the mechanical performance of the composite. In addition, manufacturing parameters, for example, number of extrusions, press time, and so forth may also have an influence on the resulting composite system. This study performs a statistical analysis on a set of previously obtained experimental results, which investigated the influence of various manufacturing, material, and testing parameters on the composite mechanical properties. Exploratory data and statistical analysis techniques are applied to the historical tensile test data to gain insight into the influence on mechanical properties as well as the relationships and interactions between the parameters. Specifically, it is shown that clay loading does not have a statistically significant effect on the composite mechanical properties, which is contrary to literature. Another surprising result is the poor performance of the clay that is compatible with high-density polyethylene compared to the clay that is compatible with poly vinyl chloride. The contribution of this paper is to demonstrate the usefulness of applying statistical analysis on a large volume of data to understand the diverse correlations between the different variables. |
