Characterization and properties of calcium carbonate filled polypropylene (PP) / ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) composites
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis, 2009)
Composites of thermoplastic elastomer blend of polypropylene (PP) and ethylene propylene
diene terpolymer (EPDM) reinforced calcium carbonate (CaCO3) was investigated. All the composites
were prepared by using Z-blade ...
The durability of modified silica/polypropylene nanocomposites : weathering resistance and creep behavior
In this research, the modified silica (SiO2)/polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites were prepared. The accelerated weathering and creep behavior of nanocomposites were investigated. Neat PP with 2 wt% of nanosilica and 3 wt% ...
Effects of cross head speed on properties and energy absorption of sandwich AL/PU-PTFE foam composite
This study to investigates the relations between cross head speed and the energy absorption of sandwich Al/PU/PTFE foam composite. The PU foam was prepared using the palm oil based polyol and isocyanate (MDI) with ratio ...
Development and characterisation of hybrid napier/glass fibre reinforced epoxy composites
Owing to serious environmental concerns in recent years, researchers have been driven to investigate the use of sustainable materials as a substitute for common polymer composites manufactured with synthetic fibres, such ...
The effect of filler content and chemical modifications on properties of coconut shell regenerated cellulose biocomposite films
The coconut shell (CS) regenerated cellulose (RC) biocomposite films were produced with CS and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) using N.N-dimethylacetamide/lithium chloride by solution casting technique. The effect of CS ...
Effect of chemical modifications and electron beam irradiation on properties of corn cob filled chitosan biocomposite films
The chitosan (CS)/corn cob (CC) biocomposite films were prepared via solvent casting method. The effects of CC content, crosslinking agents such as glutaraldehyde (GLA), salicylaldehyde (SAL), epichlorohydrin (EP) and ...
Measurement on strain rate sensitivity properties of rice husk/ linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) composites under various loading rates
The dynamic compression testing and static compression testing were performed using Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus and a conventional Universal Testing Machine (UTM), respectively. These two techniques were ...
The effect of filler content and chemical modification on properties of polylactic acid/recycled low density polyethylene/nypa fruticans husk biocomposites
Nypa fruticans husk (NFH) filled polylactic acid (PLA)/recycled low density polyethylene (rLDPE) biocomposites had been prepared using Brabender Plasticoder EC PLUS at temperature 180˚C and rotor speed 50 rpm. The effect ...
Thermo-mechanical properties of Napier particles filled polyester polymer
In recent years, the incorporation of natural fibers as reinforcing agent in polymer composite has gained increasing interest which enhances optimal utilization of natural resources and particularly of renewable resources. ...
Water absorption behaviour and its effect on the mechanical properties of hybrid interwoven cellulosic fibre composites
With aim to fulfill the public need that eager for ‘green product’, natural based fibres started to receive attention to substitute synthetic fibres as reinforcement in composites. Natural fibres is relatively cheap, easy ...
