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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 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 ...
Melt processing and properties of linear low density polyethylene-graphene nanoplatelet composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 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 ...
Improvement of ternary recycled polymer blend reinforced with date palm fibre
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
This paper investigates the study and preparation of date palm fibre reinforced recycled polymer blend composites. This is the first paper which describes the recycled polymer ternary blends of (1) recycled low density ...
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 ...
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 ...
