Properties of nanoclay PVA composites materials
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2013 , Article)
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/Na-rich Montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites were prepared using solution method to create polymer-clay nanocomposite (PCN) material. The PCN material was studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), ...
High strength, ductility, and electrical conductivity of in-situ consolidated nanocrystalline Cu-1%Nb
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Nanocrystalline metals—with grain sizes less than 100 nm— have strengths exceeding those of coarse-grained and even alloyed metals [1], [2]. A bulk nanocrystalline Cu-1%Nb alloy was synthesized by an in-situ consolidation ...
Synthesis and properties of HA/ZnO/CNT nanocomposite
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The goal of this study was to examine the tribomechanical properties of hydroxyapatite (HA)/ZnO and HA/ZnO/CNT composite ceramics (carbon nanotubes; with different ratios 0.5 wt%, 1.0 wt%, and 1.5 wt%). The composites were ...
Enhancing thermal and mechanical response of aluminum using nanolength scale TiC ceramic reinforcement
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
the present work, nano-sized titanium carbide (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 vol%) reinforced aluminum (Al) metal matrix composites were synthesized by powder metallurgy incorporating microwave sintering and hot extrusion. Microstructural, ...
Comparison between microwave and conventional sintering on the properties and microstructural evolution of tetragonal zirconia
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
In this research, the comparison between microwave sintering and conventional sintering on the mechanical properties and microstructural evolution of 3 mol% yttria-stabilised zirconia were studied. Green bodies were compacted ...
Effect of microwave sintering on the properties of copper oxide doped Y-TZP ceramics
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The effect of various amounts of copper oxide (CuO) up to 1 wt% on the densification behaviour and mechanical properties of 3 mol% yttria-tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) were studied by using microwave (MW) sintering ...
Multi-component MWCNT/NG/EP-based bipolar plates with enhanced mechanical and electrical characteristics fabricated by compression moulding
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
In this work, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), natural graphite (NG) and epoxy (EP) were used to fabricate bipolar plates by the compression moulding technique. The mechanical and thermal behaviours of the as-developed ...
Mechanical, sorption and adhesive properties of composites based on low density polyethylene filled with date palm wood powder
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Low density polyethylene (LDPE) was blended with date palm wood powder (DPW) to prepare composites with concentrations of filler ranging from 10 to 70. wt.%. The Youn?s modulus of the composites significantly increased ...
Unconventional experimental technologies used for phase change materials (PCM) characterization: Part 2 - Morphological and structural characterization, physico-chemical stability and mechanical properties
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Due to the high interest of appropriate characterization of PCM and hybrid PCM composites, different research centres and universities are using several material characterization techniques not commonly used with PCM, to ...
Secondary chain motion and mechanical properties of γ-irradiated-regenerated cellulose films
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
Regenerated cellulose films prepared using NaOH/urea solvent system were exposed to different doses of γ-radiation, ranging from 5 to 50 kGy to modify their properties. Change in relative crystallinity as a function of ...
