Characterization of untreated and treated male and female date palm leaves
( Elsevier, Ltd , 2013 , Technical Report)This paper describes the characterization of male and female date palm leaves from two different cultivars, Sheshi female and unknown male leaves. Characterization was done for both untreated and NaOH treated date palm ... -
Characterizing Biaxially Stretched Polypropylene / Graphene Nanoplatelet Composites
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2021 , Article)In this work, polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites containing different weight concentration of graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) were prepared by melt-mixing using an industrial-scale, co-rotating, intermeshing, twin-screw extruder. ... -
Characterizing biaxially stretched polypropylene/graphene nanoplatelet composites
( International Committee on Composite Materials , 2017 , Conference Paper)During moulding processes such as thermoforming and blow moulding, heated polymer materials are subjected to rapid biaxial deformation as they are drawn into the shape of a mould. It is therefore essential to accurately ... -
Charge-trapping capability and AC conductivity at different humidities of poly(ethyleneimine)-TiO2-anthocyanin modified cellulose fibres.
