Characterization and mechanical properties of geopolymer materials using kaolin and white clay for coating application
Geopolymer exhibit a wide variety of properties in various applications including coating. Geopolymer as inorganic coating has good bonding structure of amorphous inorganic polymer which has excellent bonding agent properties ... -
Effect of polyaniline loading, types of surface modifiers and secondary doping process on the properties of poly (vinyl chloride) / poly (ethylene oxide) / polyaniline conductive films
The main objective of this research was to analyse the role of polyaniline (PAni) as conductive filler in the poly (vinyl chloride)(PVC) / poly (ethylene oxide)(PEO) matrix. The PVC/PEO/PAni conductive composite films were ... -
The effect of recycled rubber on the properties of epoxy/ recycled rubber blends filled with carbon black
In this study, the effect of carbon black (CB) and recycled rubber (RR) loading on properties and characterization of epoxy/recycled rubber/carbon black were studied. In the first part, the effect of different carbon black ... -
The effect of stearic acid treatment and calcium carbonate on properties of kenaf reinforced polyester composites
In this research, kenaf/unsaturated polyester and kenaf fiber/CaCO₃ polyester hybrid composites were fabricated using hand lay-up method. The effect of surface treatment of kenaf and CaCO₃ on the mechanical properties, ... -
Interlayer destabilization process of natural and commercial bentonite incorporated Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) nanocomposite with hybrid silicate nanofillers
Natural and commercial bentonites can act as efficient fillers to reinforce a polymer matrix if their strong interlayer binding forces are weakened to reduce tactoid formation. In this research, interlayers destabilization ... -
Preparation and characterization of hybrid filler reinforced UHMWPE composites for artificial joint replacement
This is a study of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) reinforced with zinc oxide (ZnO) under various filler loadings (3, 7, 12, 18 and 25 wt.%) and hybridized with incorporation of chitosan (CS). Further ... -
Study of the effect surface treatment of Kenaf fiber on mechanical and water absorption of kenaf filled unsaturated polyester composite
In this research, unsaturated polyester/kenaf fiber (UP/KF) composites was prepared by using hand lay-up process. The effect of surface treatment of kenaf fiber on mechanical, morphology, chemical structure and water ...
