Thermophysical properties of multifunctional glass fibre reinforced polymer composites incorporating phase change materials
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
In this study novel multifunctional composites consisting of glass fibre/epoxy/microencapsulated phase change materials (micro-PCMs) were prepared and their thermophysical properties have been investigated. Test results ...
Extension of the model of binary fluidization to beds confined in a packing of coarse spheres
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
The prediction of the minimum fluidization velocity of beds of Geldart's group B particles confined in a packed bed of coarse spheres can be achieved by extending to this peculiar type of systems the theory developed for ...
The effect of sliding speed on the wear of steel-tool steel pairs
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This study examines the effect of sliding speed and surface temperature on the wear behavior of an unlubricated mild steel-tool steel contact pair using the pin-on-disc test. The operating conditions and contact pair are ...
High performance sulfonic acid doped polyaniline–polystyrene blend ammonia gas sensors
(
Springer Nature
, 2016 , Article)
In this work, we present a method of preparation and sensing measurement of four camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) doped polyaniline–polystyrene blends (PANI–PS), where PANI is obtained by dispersion polymerization and blending ...
Flexible NO2 sensors from renewable cellulose nanocrystals/iron oxide composites
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
A bio-friendly nanostructured cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) sheet with iron oxide grown on it acting as a nitrogen dioxide (NO2) gas sensor was fabricated by hydrothermal method. The structural investigation was done to ...
Propagation rate coefficient for sulfobetaine monomers by PLP-SEC
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Zwitterionic polymers have been extensively used in the biomedical field, however, the knowledge about the kinetics and mechanism of radical polymerization of their monomers is limited. This work introduces the first ...
Corrosion protection of electrospun PVDF-ZnO superhydrophobic coating
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
A one-step electrospinning technique was used to prepare a protective superhydrophobic PVDF–ZnO nanocomposite coating for aluminum against corrosion. The wettability and morphology of the prepared coating surfaces was ...
Melt processing and properties of linear low density polyethylene-graphene nanoplatelet composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Composites of Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) and Graphene Nanoplatelets (GNPs) were processed using a twin screw extruder under different extrusion conditions. The effects of screw speed, feeder speed and GNP ...
Molecular scale cure rate dependence of thermoset matrix polymers
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
This manuscript demonstrates the molecular scale cure rate dependence of di-functional epoxide based thermoset polymers cured with amines. A series of cure heating ramp rates were used to determine the influence of ramp ...
Preparation and characterisation of Ce:YAG -polycarbonate composites for white LED.
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Ce:YAG-polycarbonate composites were prepared with several amounts of Ce:YAG in the range 0.1
e5 wt.% by using melt compounding. The structure and morphology of the composites were investigated by means of X-ray diffractometry ...
