Effect of processing route on the morphology of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanocomposites incorporating organofluoromica
Azlin Fazlina, Osman; Jack, Kevin; Edwards, Grant; Martin, Darren (Trans Tech Publications, 2014)In the production of polymer nanocomposites, the processing method determines the dispersion of the nanofiller and hence, the final nanocomposite properties. In this work, the potential of high energy milling of the ... -
Impact of controlled hydrophobicity of the organically modified silicates on the properties of biomedical thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanocomposites
Azlin Fazlina, Osman; Halley, Peter; Martin, Darren (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 ...
