New Aluminum Foam/Polyformaldehyde Interpenetrating Phase Composites Prepared by Injection Molding

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new type of interpenetrating phase composite was formed by filling 70%-porous open-cell aluminum foam with polyformaldehyde through injection molding process. The results showed that both mechanical properties and tribological behavior of composites were improved. The interphase behaviour of aluminum foam/polyformaldehyde composites was examined by scanning electron microscopy(SEM).The worn surfaces of composites were also examined and discussed. It could be indicated that injection molding and Al foam surface preprocessing including both alkaline wash and KH550 treatment for Al foam/ POM composites was available. The new composite could be used where moderate strength and wear properties are needed.
