Drop weight impact analysis of laminated polyurethane foam/cloisite 30B clay
Firuz, Zainuddin; Hazizan, Md Akil; Sahrim, Hj Ahmad, Prof. Dr.; Rozaidi, Rasid; Syed Nuzul Fadzli, Syed Adam (Trans Tech Publications, 2014-01)Laminated polyurethane foam composite was produced by incorporating Cloisite 30B clay as filler and aluminium sheet as the skin. Initially, PU foams were synthesized with reaction of natural oil polyol and isocyanate with ... -
Effect of carbon nanotubes on the compression test and energy absorption of aluminium/polyurethane-carbon nanotubes foam sandwich
Sinar Arzuria, Adnan; Siti Nursyafiqah, Samsudin; Firuz, Zainuddin; Nur Azni, Azizan; Hazizan, Md Akil; Sahrim, Hj Ahmad, Prof. Dr. (Trans Tech Publications, 2014)The foam was prepared by mixing the polyols, isocyanate and carbonnanotubes (CNTs) at 1000 rpm speed. The different content of the CNTs are varies from 0 3 (0, 0.5, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0) percent by weight. The foam sandwich ... -
Effect of catalyst calcination temperature on the synthesis of mwcnts-talc hybrid compound using CVD method
Siti Shuhadah, Mohd Saleh; Hazizan, Md Akil; Muhammad Razlan, Zakaria; Muhammad Helmi, Abdul Kudus; Ramdziah, Md Nasir, Dr. (Trans Tech Publications, 2014)Carbon nanotubes-talc (CNTs-talc) hybrid compound has been successfully synthesized via chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method. A gas mixture of methane/nitrogen (CH4/N2) was used as the carbon source and nickel as the ... -
The effect of loading rates and particle geometry on compressive properties of polypropylene/zinc oxide nanocomposites: Experimental and numerical prediction
Mohd Firdaus, Omar; Hazizan, Md Akil; Zainal Arifin, Ahmad; Shahrom, Mahmud, Dr. (Society of Plastics Engineers, 2012-01)Compressive properties, of particulate filled polymer matrix composites, are affected (to a certain extent) by the geometry of the particles, as well as the loadingrates. Therefore, this article presents the results on the ... -
Effect of molecular structures on dynamic compression properties of polyethylene
Mohd Firdaus, Omar; Hazizan, Md Akil; Zainal Arifin, Ahmad (Elsevier B.V., 2012-03)The properties of polymers are strongly affected by their molecular structures. Therefore, three different types of polyethylene; low density, low-linear density and high density polyethylene were used in this study to ... -
Effect of particle sizes on rate sensitivity and dynamic mechanical properties of polypropylene/silica (PP/Sio2) nanocomposites
Mohd Firdaus, Omar; Hazizan, Md Akil; Zainal Arifin, Ahmad (Trans Tech Publications, 2012)Filler-related characteristic such as particle size, shape and geometry are essential factors that need to be considered during the evaluation of the material's performance especially in the area of particle filled composites. ... -
Hybrid multiwalled carbon nanotubes/minerals as potential fillers for polymer composites
Muhammad Helmi, Abdul Kudus; Hazizan, Md Akil; Siti Shuhadah, Md Saleh (Trans Tech Publications, 2012-12)Minerals are always used as filler material in polymer composite application purposely to reduce the price. In order to optimize the use of mineral fillers instead of price reduction, there were several approaches that ... -
Measurement on strain rate sensitivity and dynamic mechanical properties of various polymeric materials
Mohd Firdaus, Omar; Hazizan, Md Akil; Zainal Ariffin, Ahmad (Trans Tech Publications, 2011)Strain rate sensitivity and dynamic mechanical properties of polymeric materials are affected to a certain extent especially by the rate of loading. However, there is limited number of works reported on that particular ... -
