Synthesis Characterization Study Of Properties Of Metal Manganese II Bakelite Composites And Its Application

Abstract

newline newline newline newlineMMC in which metal is reinforced with other polymers offers several advantages over metals alone. It not only reduces cost but also simplifies the processing. Among the various polymers low priced Bakelite resin smoothly infiltrates the reinforcement and makes it a perfect contender for various uses. The role of metal manganese in generating high performance composite material with enhanced conductivity and strength is realized in recent years. But no work dealing with manganese and Bakelite and study of its various properties is yet reported. So the present study is undertaken to synthesise Manganese II Bakelite composites by simple and economical stir casting method and the thermal and magnetic nature of composite is described in detail. newline newline A novel metal matrix composite was synthesised using variable concentration of metal manganese chloride tetra hydrate as matrix and Bakelite as reinforcement by stir casting method. These samples were characterized using spectroscopic and thermal analysis. The samples were later decomposed at high temperature in muffle furnace. Their micro-particle nature was investigated using scanning probe instruments and magnetic nature was studied through VSM. newline newlineChemical interaction between the matrix and reinforcement was revealed through the FTIR and HNMR spectra. The X ray diffractograms suggested transition of crystalline phase to amorphous phase. The thermal stability of prepared MMCs increased with increased matrix strength through TGA and DSC measurements. newline newlineThe scanning probe analysis indicated a decrease in particle size into micro-meters range. The magnetic hysteresis reveals the formation of ferromagnetic composite. newline newlineThrough this study it can be concluded that a low cost metal matrix composite can be easily produced through a simple stir casting method. The MMC developed can play immense role in areas concerning electronic and fire safety. Electrical and nanocomposite behaviour can be studied further for development of application for microelectronic world. newline newline newline
