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 ...
