Thermal and mechanical characterization of injection moulded high density polyethylene/paraffin wax blends as phase change materials
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Thermal and mechanical properties of blends based on high density polyethylene and paraffin wax were investigated. The blends were prepared from 5 to 50vol. % of paraffin wax employing a twin-screw extruder. Thermal behaviour ...
Processing, characterization and modeling of recycled polypropylene/glass fibre/wood flour composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Polypropylene (PP) is one of the most common thermoplastic materials in the world. There is a need to recycle the large amount of this used material. To overcome the environmental problems, related to the polymer waste, ...
Tailoring of the thermal, mechanical and dielectric properties of the polypropylene foams using gamma-irradiation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This study investigate the influence of gamma-irradiation (GI) doses from 0 up to 50 kGy on the polypropylene (PP) foams, mainly the impact on their structural and physical properties. It was found that structural properties ...
Thermal and mechanical stability of microwave sintered cold compact bismuth telluride thermoelectric material
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Both p-type and n-type bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3)-based thermoelectric materials demonstrate high thermoelectric efficiency in the low-temperature thermoelectric modules, but their constrained thermal and mechanical stability ...
Effect of waste wax and chain structure on the mechanical and physical properties of polyethylene
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
The influence of adding waste wax, produced as a by-product of the low density polyethylene manufacturing process, on the thermal and mechanical properties of three types of polyethylene (PE), high-density polyethylene ...
Thermal and mechanical properties of PP/HDPE/wood powder and MAPP/HDPE/wood powder polymer blend composites.
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
The morphology and properties of blends of PP/HDPE and MAPP/HDPE blends, and their composites with wood
powder, were investigated in this paper. The blends showed two-phase morphologies, and MAPP interacted
better than ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Electrospun PVDF graphene oxide composite fibre mats with tunable physical properties.
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
This article is aimed at a basic physical characterization of electrospun PVDF/graphene oxide (GO) composite non-woven fibre mats. The morphological characterization of the prepared fabrics was performed via SEM investigations. ...
