Building of composite system for Wing using Prepreg
(Universiti Malaysia PerlisSchool of Materials Engineering, 2008-04)The effect of fibre reinforcement and resin content on moisture uptake in composite laminate was investigated. Three materials using identical epoxy resin systems but different reinforcements glass, kevlar and carbon ... -
Dynamic vulcanization of waste paper filled of low density polyethylene (LDPE)/ ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) composites
(Universiti Malaysia PerlisSchool of Materials Engineering, 2008-04)The effect of filler loading and dynamic vulcanization of paper sludge (PS) filled LDPE/EPDM was investigated. Blends with different filler loading ranging from 0 to 60 wt % were prepared in Z-blade mixer at 180 °C and a ... -
Effect of Citric acid on properties of Cassava starch foam
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2017-06)The effects of citric acid towards the properties of cassava starch foam was studied in this thesis. The influences of crosslinking on cassava starch was described fundamentally. This include the formation of cell sizes, ... -
Effect of Poly(Acrylic acid) on mechanical, morphology properties, X-Ray diffraction and water absorption of Nanoclay filled low density Polyethylene composites
(Universiti Malaysia PerlisSchool of Materials Engineering, 2008-04)Effects of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) of nanoclay filled low density polyethylene (LDPE) composite on mechanical and characterization were studied using Universal Testing Machine (UTM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning ... -
A preliminary study on lightweight concrete made from Polystyrene waste
(Universiti Malaysia PerlisSchool of Materials Engineering, 2008-04)Increasing importance of environmental awareness around the world has drawn a great attention on polymer recycling. The recycling processes are commonly meant to reproduce other polymeric material for domestic use or energy ... -
Preparation and characterization of low linear density polyethylene/plasticized jackfruit seeds starch blends
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2017-05)The LLDPE/TPS blends were prepared in different blending formulation and additives. The formulation used were divided into 100:0, 95:5, 90:10, 80:20 and 70:30. Preparation of the blends are divided in three stages. The ... -
Properties of pulp fiber filled high density Polyethylene
(Universiti Malaysia PerlisSchool of Materials Engineering, 2008-04)In this study, attempt has been made to combine the advantages of fiber and polymer. Composites based on high density polyethylene (HDPE) and pulp fiber was made through melt blending and compression molding. HDPE/pulp ... -
Recovery of iron from sludge using solid phase materials
(Universiti Malaysia PerlisSchool of Materials Engineering, 2008-06)The application of metals extraction by polymer inclusion membrane (PIMs) was carried out by using solid phase materials. The ion carrier Cyanex 272 was incorporated into solid phase materials composed of cellulose ... -
Rheology behaviour of low density polyethylene / clay composites
(Universiti Malaysia PerlisSchool of Materials Engineering, 2008-05)Low density polyethylene (LDPE) composite are prepared by incorporating clay at different loading into LDPE matrix using a Z-Blade Mixer at temperature 1800C and a rotor speed of 50 rpm for 12 minutes. A compatibilizer, ...
