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, ...
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. ...
Investigation of the physico-mechanical properties of electrospun PVDF/cellulose nanofibers.
(
Wiley
, 2016 , Article)
The electro-activity and mechanical properties of PVDF depends mainly on the b-phase content and degree of crystallinity. In this study, cellulose fibers were used to improve these characteristics. This could be achieved ...
Grain refining and improving mechanical properties of a warm rolled AZ31 alloy plate
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
The mechanical properties of an AZ31 magnesium alloy were improved after warm rolling. The study involved a pre-rolling condition in which the material consisted of twins, playing a key role in recrystallization grain ...
Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of twinned AZ31 alloy plates at lower elevated temperature
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
The AZ31 alloy plates were pre-rolled at room temperature along the transverse direction to introduce extension twinning. The effect of pre-existing twins on the mechanical properties of AZ31 alloy plates at lower elevated ...
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 ...
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 ...
Thermal and mechanical properties of injection molded recycled high density polyethylene blends with virgin isotactic polypropylene
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2013 , Article)
Polymer blending has become an important field in polymer research and especially in the area of recycling. In this research the target was to reduce the polymer waste problem. Therefore, recycled high density polyethylene ...
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 ...
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 ...
