Physico-Mechanical Properties of New Electrospun Polyvinylidene Fluoride Nanocomposites
(2015 , Master Thesis)
This study aimed to prepare and characterize poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) nanofibres with the following additives: graphene oxide (GO), cellulose, and silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs). Two types of solvents were used to ...
Effect of waste wax and chain structure on the mechanical and physical properties of polyethylene
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
The influence of adding waste wax, produced as a by-product of the low density polyethylene manufacturing process, on the thermal and mechanical properties of three types of polyethylene (PE), high-density polyethylene ...
Hierarchical honeycomb auxetic metamaterials
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2015 , Article)
Most conventional materials expand in transverse directions when they are compressed uniaxially resulting in the familiar positive Poisson’s ratio. Here we develop a new class of two dimensional (2D) metamaterials with ...
Processing and characterization of polyethylene-based composites
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2015 , Article)
Thermoplastic matrix polymer composites have gained commercial success in the semistructural and structural applications. Polyethylene (PE) is one of the most versatile and widely used thermoplastics in the world because ...
