Ultra-violet radiation-cured biofiber composites from kenaf: The effect of montmorillonite on the flexural and impact properties
(Taylor & Francis, 2010-04)
Biofiber composites, cured by ultra-violet (UV) radiation were produced using kenaf fibers as the reinforcing agent and unsaturated polyester as the matrix. This research work focused on the effects of the incorporation ...
Effects of dynamic vulcanization on thermal properties of calcium carbonate filled polypropylene/ethylene propylene diene terpolymer composites
(Universiti Putra Malaysia Press, 2010-07)
In this study, dynamic vulcanization process was used to improve the thermal properties of calcium carbonate filled composites. The composites were prepared using a Z-blade mixer at 180°C and rotor speed 50rpm. Thermogravimetric ...
Effect of polyethylene-grafted maleic anhydride (PE-g-MAH) on properties of low density polyethylene/eggshell powder (LDPE/ESP) composites
(Taylor & Francis Group, LLC., 2010-01-04)
The effect of polyethylene-grafted maleic anhydride (PE-g-MAH) on the tensile properties, morphology and thermal properties of low-density polyethylene (LDPE)/eggshell powder (ESP) composites was studied. LDPE/ESP composites ...
Unsaturated polyester-kenaf composites: The effects of a modified montmorillonite filler on the tensile properties
(Taylor & Francis Group, LLC., 2010-06)
This study has been embarked to use the nanofiller to compensate the adverse effect of the lignocellulosic filler. Unsaturated polyester-kenaf composites filled with various types of MMT filler were produced. The study ...
Microstructure and microhardness properties of Fe-Cr-Al2O3 composites
(Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), 2010)
The requirement for high performance materials of high wear and corrosion resistance lead to an increasing interest in ferrous matrix composites. Metal matrix composite of iron-chromium reinforced with alumina was fabricated ...
The effect of waste office white paper content and size on the mechanical and thermal properties of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) composites
(Taylor & Francis, 2010-01-07)
The effect of waste office white paper (WOWP) loading and size on mechanical properties, morphology and thermal properties of LDPE/WOWP composites were investigated. The results showed that increasing of WOWP loading has ...
