Properties and thermo-switch behaviour of LDPE mixed with carbon black, zinc metal and paraffin wax
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
This paper reports on the presence of wax and radiation-induced crosslinking on the morphology, thermal and mechanical properties, as well as electrical conductivity and thermo-switch properties of LDPE containing ...
Electrospun alginate nanofibres impregnated with silver nanoparticles: Preparation, morphology and antibacterial properties
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Abstract Silver nanoparticles are amongst the most valuable nanoparticles with interesting properties, such as a non-toxic nature and high antibacterial efficiency, making them applicable for tissue scaffold, protective ...
Propagation of Floquet-Bloch shear waves in viscoelastic composites: analysis and comparison of interface/interphase models for imperfect bonding
(
Springer-Verlag Wien
, 2017 , Article)
The phononic band structure of waves, which travel though composites, results from the geometric and mechanical properties of the materials and from the interaction of the different constituents. In this article, we study ...
Effect of reinforcement concentration on the properties of hot extruded Al-Al2O3 composites synthesized through microwave sintering process
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
In this study, Aluminum matrix composite reinforced with 5, 10 and 15 vol% Al2O3 particles were fabricated using microwave assisted rapid sintering technique followed by hot extrusion. The effect of concentration of Al2O3 ...
Effect of microwave sintering on the crystal domain and electrical properties of TiO2 nanoparticles
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2017 , Article)
We report the effect of microwaves sintering on the crystal domain and electrical properties of TiO2 nanoparticles. Commercially available TiO2 nanoparticles of 25 nm size were coated on ITO (indium tin oxide) substrates, ...
The role of clay modifier on cure characteristics and properties of epoxy/clay/carboxyl-terminated poly(butadiene-co-acrylonitrile) (CTBN) hybrid
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
Epoxy/clay/carboxyl-terminated poly(butadiene-co-acrylonitrile) (CTBN) hybrids were prepared with two different organically modified clays. Octadecyl amine and trimethyl stearyl ammonium-modified nanoclays (Nanomer I.30E ...
DC conductivity and Seebeck coefficient of nonstoichiometric MgCuZn ferrites
(
Walter de Gruyter GmbH
, 2017 , Article)
Nonstoichiometric series of Mg0.5-xCuxZn0.5Fe1.9O4-? where x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2 and 0.25 has been synthesized by conventional solid state reaction route. The single phase spinel structure of the double sintered ferrites ...
Modeling polymeric gels: The role of chain flexibility on the structure of physical gels
(
BME-PT and GTE
, 2017 , Article)
Using molecular dynamics simulations and a simple model for chain molecules we study the gel formation under different conditions. The main characteristic of the model is the short attractive range of the non-bonding ...
On secure communication over the Z-Channel
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The discrete memoryless Z-Channel (DM-ZC) with a confidential cross-message is considered. Three messages are transmitted; encoder 1 transmits one message to be decoded by decoder 1. Encoder 2 transmits two messages, the ...
Effect of ambient temperature on the efficiency of the PCPDTBT: PC71BM BHJ solar cells
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
In this research article, the influence of environment temperature on the performance of the organic bulk heterojunction organic solar cells has been investigated. We describe the effect of ambient temperature on the ...
