Properties of electrodeposited Ni-B-ZrO2 composite coatings
(
Electrochemical Science Group
, 2015 , Article)
Ni-B coatings have high hardness and high wear resistance which make them suitable for automotive, aerospace, petrochemical, textile and electronics industries. Further improvement in properties (especially the corrosion ...
Effect of surfactant and radiation treatment on the morphology and properties of PP/EG composites
(
Springer
, 2015 , Article)
The effects of surfactant and electron beam (EB) radiation treatment on the morphology and properties of polypropylene (PP)/expanded graphite (EG) composites were investigated. Surfactant treatment and sonication of
EG ...
Compatibilizing role of carbon nanotubes in poly(vinyl alcohol)/starch blend
(
WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
, 2015 , Article)
Polymer nanocomposites based on poly(vinyl alcohol)/starch blend and carbon nanotubes (CNT) were prepared by solution mixing, followed by casting. Glycerol was used as a plasticizer and added in the starch dispersion. The ...
Effect of surfactant and electron treatment on the electrical and thermal conductivity as well as thermal and mechanical properties of ehylene vinyl acetate/expanded graphite composites
(
Wiley Periodicals, Inc
, 2015 , Article)
This study presents an investigation of the electrical and thermal conductivities of composites based on an ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer matrix and nanostructured expanded graphite (EG). To improve the EG dispersion ...
Monolayer polymer photocells. The opportunities
(
Academy of Sciences and Arts of the Republic of Serbia
, 2015 , Article)
The conversion of solar energy into electricity is in the focus of a large number of scientists. Because of the problems caused by the use of fossil fuels, the use of renewable and environmentally friendly energy sources ...
Morphology and thermal degradation studies of melt-mixed poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) biodegradable polymer blend nanocomposites with TiO2 as filler
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The morphology and thermal stability of melt-mixed poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) blend nanocomposites with small amounts of TiO2 nanoparticles were investigated. The nanoparticles were mostly located ...
The effect of expanded graphite on the thermal stability, latent heat, and flammability properties of EVA/wax phase change blends
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
This article reports on the morphology, melting and crystallization behavior, thermal stability, flammability and thermal conductivity of shape-stabilized phase-change materials (PCM) for thermal energy storage, based on ...
Prediction of the mechanical properties of copper powder-filled low-density polyethylene composites. A comparison between the ANN and theoretical models
(
Begell House
, 2015 , Article)
In the present study, the mechanical properties of copper (Cu) powder-filled low-density polyethylene
(LDPE) composites are predicted by using artificial neural networks (ANNs) as a function of
the filler concentration. ...
Synergistic effect of expanded graphite, diammonium phosphate and Cloisite 15A on flame retardant properties of EVA and EVA/wax phase change blends
(
Springer
, 2015 , Article)
The influence of the introduction of expanded graphite (EG), as well as combinations of EG with Cloisite 15A clay and diammonium phosphate (DAP), into EVA and an EVA/wax blend on the thermal stability and flammability of ...
A new experimental device and inverse method to characterize thermal properties of composite phase change materials
(
Elsevier BV
, 2015 , Article)
A new experimental device has been developed in order to characterize the phase change material (PCM) thermal properties (thermal conductivity k, sensible and latent heat thermal energy storage, cp and Lf) in the solid ...
