Comparative study on the degradation effects initiated by gamma ray and electron beam irradiation in polypropylene
Murray, Kieran A., Dr.; Kennedy, James E.; McEvoy, Brian; Vrain, Olivier; Ryan, Damien; Cowman, Richard; Higginbotham, Clement L. (Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2012-06-18)The aim of this paper is to investigate the potential effects of gamma ray and electron beam irradiation, ranging between 25 and 200 kGy on unstabilised Polypropylene (PP). The PP samples were subjected to a range of ... -
Evaluation of the effect of twin-screw extrusionparameters on the tensile stress-strainproperties of polyamide 11 nanocomposites
Khairul Anwar A. H.; B. Farrell, Joseph, Dr.; E. Kennedy, James, Dr. (Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2012-06-18)Polyamide 11 nanocomposites were prepared by melt processing using a co-rotating Leistritz twin screw extruder. The processing conditions used during twin screw compounding have a significant impact on the mechanical ... -
Preparation and characterisation of polyamide 11/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites for use in angioplasty balloon applications
Khairul Anwar, A Halim; Farrell, Joseph B.; Kennedy, James E. (Elsevier B.V., 2013-12)With increased demands on catheter balloon functionality, there is an emphasis to blend new materials which can improve mechanical performance. Polymer nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending polyamide 11 (PA 11) ...
