Mechanical and thermal behavior of aged composites of recycled PP/EPDM/talc reinforced with bamboo fiber
(2018)
LtdNatural fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites have been widely studied, mostly for environmental and economic reasons. One promising application is in the automotive industry, which widely uses talc filled EPDM ...
Solution parameters in the manufacture of ceramic ZnO nanofibers made by electrospinning
(2016)
© 2016, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning from zinc acetate (ZnAc) as precursor under different conditions. The influence of the solution parameters was studied ...
Effect of sawdust surface treatment and compatibilizer addition on mechanical behavior, morphology, and moisture uptake of polypropylene/sawdust composites
(2010)
Polypropylene/sawdust composites were investigated to assess the effect of sawdust surface treatment and compatibilizer addition on polymer/fiber adhesion. Two silane coupling agents were used for sawdust surface treatment: ...
A study of PP/PET composites: Factorial design, mechanical and thermal properties
(2016)
© 2016 Elsevier LtdDue to the economic importance of polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and the large amount of composites made with PP matrix and recycled PET as reinforcing material; an investigation ...
