Environment friendly, biodegradable and nontoxic materials especially from renewable resources are attaining great levels of attention nowadays. Biopolymers contribute a very significant division of materials through which ...

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 ...

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 ...

This study aims at the preparation of a paraffin/graphite waste composite for thermal energy storage application at low temperature. In this composite material, the paraffin is characterized by high phase change latent ...

This work aims to investigate the effect of hybrid filler concentration on the thermal stability of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) matrices. LDPE-based composite films were synthesized by melt mixing, followed by compression ...

Performance parameters and thermal stability of lubricants are highly temperature dependent as it degrades twice for every 10 °C of temperature rise. Generally, the nanofluids have enhanced thermo-physical behavior as long ...

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. ...

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, ...

In this study, titania nanotubes (TNTs) were prepared by hydrothermal method with the aim to compare the properties of these one-dimensional tubular nanostructures' reinforced nanocomposites with the carbon and halloysite ...

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 ...
