A new experimental device and inverse method to characterize thermal properties of composite phase change materials
(
Elsevier BV
, 2015 , Article)
A new experimental device has been developed in order to characterize the phase change material (PCM) thermal properties (thermal conductivity k, sensible and latent heat thermal energy storage, cp and Lf) in the solid ...
Influence of surface modification of carbon nanotubes on interactions with polystyrene-b-polyisoprene-b-polystyrene matrix and its photo-actuation properties
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
The influence of various surface modification of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) on preferential interactions with individual phases of the linear triblock copolymer polystyrene-b-polyisoprene-b-polystyrene (SIS) and ...
Designing dual phase sensing materials from polyaniline filled styrene-isoprene-styrene composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
The demand for developing oil detectors is ever increasing since the cleanup and recovery from oil spill usually take long time. Here we propose oil sensors made of polyaniline (PANI) filled poly(styrene-isoprene-styrene) ...
Electrically conductive composites based on an elastomeric matrix filled with expanded graphite as a potential oil sensing material
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2014 , Article)
The preparation and properties of electrically conductive polymeric composites based on an elastomer matrix (styrene-isoprene styrene block copolymer) filled with expanded graphite are reported in this paper. The developed ...
Calorimetric and dynamic mechanical behavior of phase change materials based on paraffin wax supported by expanded graphite
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
This study addressed the characterization and description of calorimetric and dynamic mechanical properties of phase change materials (PCMs) based on linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), paraffin wax (W) and expanded ...
Phase change materials based on high-density polyethylene filled with microencapsulated paraffin wax
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
A modified in situ polymerization microencapsulation procedure for the preparation of microcapsules with paraffin wax cores (43 wt.%) and melamine–formaldehyde resin shells having a uniform size distribution and a spherical ...
Photoimmobilization of zwitterionic polymers on surfaces to reduce cell adhesion
(
Academic Press Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Simple and robust methods for modifying hydrophobic polymer surfaces with zwitterionic polymers using UV irradiation were developed. Two random zwitterionic copolymers consisting of either carboxybetaine or sulfobetaine ...
The mechanical and adhesive properties of electrically and thermally conductive polymeric composites based on high density polyethylene filled with nickel powder
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2013 , Article)
Electrically and thermally conductive composites made using high density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix blended with a special grade of branch-structured nickel particles were studied. Composites with high filler content were ...
Improved mechanical properties of recycled linear low-density polyethylene composites filled with date palm wood powder
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Recycled linear low-density polyethylene (RLLDPE) was blended with date palm wood powder to prepare composites in which the concentration of the filler ranged from 10 to 70wt.%. The cross-linking of composites was performed ...
