Effects of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTS) on the mechanical and thermal properties of plasticized polylactic acid nanocomposites
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)A multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/plasticized polylactic acid (PLA) composite was prepared using a two-roll mill set at 170°C and 50 rev/min. The material was characterized using dynamicmechanical analyzer (DMA). ... -
Impact of controlled hydrophobicity of the organically modified silicates on the properties of biomedical thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanocomposites
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013-09)The impact of nanofiller surface modifications and hydrophobicity on the morphology and mechanical properties of the biomedical TPU nanocomposites was studied. We show that incorporating nanofillers with higher hydrophobicity ... -
Thermal properties of ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA)/ montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites for biomedical applications
(EDP Sciences, 2016)The viability of nanocomposites comprising Ethyl Vinyl Acetate (EVA) filled montmorillonite (MMT) nanoclay as candidate materials of biomedical devices was investigated. EVA/MMT nanocomposites were prepared by incorporating ... -
Thermal properties of microsilica and nanosilica filled polypropylene composite with epoxy as dispersing aid
(SAGE Publications, 2007)Nanocomposite materials differ from the traditional composite materials in that they provide enhanced properties at comparatively low filler loading with respect to microsize filler. In this research work, silica filled ...
