    Unsaturated polyester resin(UPR) is used as matrix, glass fiber cloth, ramie fiber cloth

    and/or basic magnesium sulfated whisker are used as reinforcement to form composites by compression

    molding process.The variations of moisture absorption and mechanical properties of different

    composites with immersion time in water at 30℃ and 50℃ respectively were studied. The results show

    that, the water uptakes of all the composites increase with immersion time in water, the

    composites absorb water much fast from 0h to 8h, then relaxedly or unchanged.The water uptakes at

    50℃ are always more than those at 30℃|the reinforcement of glass fiber cloth on UPR is far better

    than ramie cloth| hybrid with whisker will decrease the tensile and impact strengths of the

    composites containing either glass cloth or ramie cloth, but increase their flexural strengths and

    tensile moduli. With the prolong of immersion time in water, the tensile strengths of the

    composites reinforced with glass cloth along or glass cloth and whisker together at 30℃ and 50℃

    will decrease| the impact strengths of the composites reinforced with ramie cloth reach the maxima

    of 49.1kJ/m2  and 48.8 kJ/m2 at 30℃ and 50℃ respectively when immersed in water for 16h,

    accordingly 98.78% and 97.57% increased from those before immersion, and the impact strengths of

    the composites reinforced with the hybrid of ramie cloth and whisker increase monotonously with time

    at the two temperatures through the whole water immersion test.

    As crucial structural components in bridge structures, bridge deck slabs played an important role in integral structural behaviours and transportation. However, with the increasing of ages in services, the durability of reinforced concrete bridge deck slabs was influenced significantly by carbonation. Recently, because of high strength, light weight and strong corrosionresistance, glass fiber polymer reinforcement bars (GFRP bars) were accepted by civil engineers. Due to the existence of compressive membrane action, it was shown that the structural behaviours of GFRP reinforced concrete bridge deck slabs with same reinforcement percentage were similar as those of steel reinforced concrete bridge deck slabs in nonlinear finite element analysis. Based on numerical analysis results, GFRP is available to be used as replacement of steel reinforcement. According the analysis of mechanism of concrete carbonation and material properties of GFRP, it was found that the durability of GFRP reinforced concrete bridge deck slabs was enhanced after the occurrence of carbonation in concrete structures, because carbonation reduced the permeability and porosity of concrete.

    In order to evaluate the dynamic property of composite material barrel, the forced

    response analysis is conducted by using mode superposition method on the basis of modal analysis and

    damping analysis. The muzzle vibration status of the composite material barrel is obtained and

    compared with which of the steel barrel. The results show that the response amplitude and frequency

    of composite material barrel is less than the response of steel barrel. The dynamic property of the

    composite material barrel is much more excellent.

    The aging behavior of 191# unsaturated polyester resin and its GFRP have been studied by artificial thermooxidation aging and artificial xenon arc lamp aging. The morphology and glossiness of specimens were investigated by microscope and glossmeter respectively. The yellowness index (YI) was tested by differential colorimeter. The unsaturated polyester resin was analysed by FTIR and DMA. The tensile strength and bend strength of the specimens were measured. With aging evolving, the appearance of the specimens changed more and more yellow, its glossiness reduced, and appeared some crack on the sample’s surface. These changes were related to the aging mode. The DMA showed that after xenon arc lamp aged 90d, Tg of the resin was from 84℃ to 88℃, and to 83℃after aged 240d, and its storage energy decreased gradually. Mechanical strength of the specimens increased at first then decreased. The aging of the resin and its composites were more susceptible to xenon arc lamp than thermooxidation.

    In this paper,polypropylene (PP) bonding with CPPgGMA (glycidyl methacrylate grafted chlorinated polypropylene) was studied as well as bicomponent acrylic coating painted on PP and its composite after using CPPgGMA as a primer.The results show that the adhesive strength of CPPgGMA to PP is better to some extent than that of CPP to PP,and the adhesion strength of coatingsubstrate can be improved effectively.As the grafting degree of glycidyl methacrylate onto chlorinated increasing,the adhesion strength of coatingsubstrate increased more and more significantly.When using CPPgGMA with grafting degree of 2.31% as primer the coating adhesion can even reach class zero which is the best class.

    Ultrasonic echo Ascan method was used to scan carbon/epoxy 3D braided composites.

    Defects areas located by using ultrasonic scanning were anatomized microscopically to investigate

    the relationships between the ultrasonic pulse wave characteristics and micromorphology of

    defects. Based on the experimental identification method depended on wave analysis method,the

    ultrasonic attenuation of 3D braided composites was discussed from the point of the distribution of

    carbon filaments and the interfaces between carbon fiber bundles and resin. The experimental results

    show that the characteristics of ultrasonic propagation and attenuation in the composites are

    related to the microstructure and some defects within the 3D braided composites. The

    characterization of ultrasonic Ascan signal can be used to nondestructive inspection and defects

    assessment.
