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 ...
Enhanced performance of nano-sized SiC reinforced Al metal matrix nanocomposites synthesized through microwave sintering and hot extrusion techniques
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
In the present study, nano-sized SiC (0, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 vol%) reinforced aluminum (Al) metal matrix composites were fabricated by microwave sintering and hot extrusion techniques. The structural (XRD, SEM), mechanical ...

(
Association for Iron and Steel Technology, AISTECH
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The present work focuses on the effect of copper (Cu) reinforcement on structural and mechanical properties of Al-Cu composites synthesized through microwave sintering approach. The pure aluminum (Al) and copper (Cu) powders ...
Using B4C nanoparticles to enhance thermal and mechanical response of aluminum
(
MDPI AG
, 2017 , Article)
In this work, Al-B4C nanocomposites were produced by microwave sintering and followed by hot extrusion processes. The influence of ceramic reinforcement (B4C) nanoparticles on the physical, microstructural, mechanical, and ...
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 ...
Microwave rapid sintering of al-metal matrix composites: A review on the effect of reinforcements, microstructure and mechanical properties
(
MDPI AG
, 2016 , Article Review)
Aluminum metal matrix composites (AMMCs) are light-weight materials having wide-spread use in the automobile and aerospace industries due to their attractive physical and mechanical properties. The promising mechanical ...
Secondary chain motion and mechanical properties of γ-irradiated-regenerated cellulose films
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
Regenerated cellulose films prepared using NaOH/urea solvent system were exposed to different doses of γ-radiation, ranging from 5 to 50 kGy to modify their properties. Change in relative crystallinity as a function of ...
Structural and mechanical properties of microwave sintered Al-Ni50Ti50 composites
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Metal matrix composites (MMCs) have become attractive for structural engineering applications due to their excellent specific strength and are becoming an alternative to the conventional materials particularly in the ...
Silk as a reinforcement in polymer matrix composites
(2015 , Book chapter)
Natural fibers perform well as reinforcement materials in polymer matrix composites and provide ecological and environmental advantages. Both plant- and animal-based natural fibers have been studied for their mechanical ...
Melt processing and properties of linear low density polyethylene-graphene nanoplatelet composites
(
Elsevier
, 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 ...
