Effect of new coupling agent based on Coconut oil on mechanical properties, swelling behavior and morphology of Silica filled Polypropylene composites
(Universiti Malaysia PerlisSchool of Materials Engineering, 2008-04)The suitability of using coconut oil coupling agent (COCA) as a new coupling agent in polypropylene (PP) composites was studied. As compariosn, maleic anhydride polypropylene (MAPP) was used in silica filled PP composites. ... -
Extracted silica from Cymbopogancitratus (lemon grass) as a novel silica in vulcanized natural rubber latex prepared
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Material Engineering, 2016-06)Extracted silica from cymbopogancitratus (lemongrass) was used as novel filler for vulcanized natural rubber latex. Whereas silica sand and titanium dioxide was chosen for as comparison filler with extracted filler. In ... -
Fabrication and characterization of Ceramic Porcelain tiles
(Universiti Malaysia PerlisSchool of Materials Engineering, 2008-04)Fabrication of ceramic tiles requires detailed attention on the processing parameters such as raw material size and weight percentage, forming and drying process, and sintering temperature. The scope of the project is to ... -
Preparation of high purity SiO2 from Rice Husk
(Universiti Malaysia PerlisSchool of Materials Engineering, 2008-04)A high purity silicon dioxide (97.08%) was obtained by atmosphere thermal decomposition of the acetic acid leached rice husk at 800°C for 15 minutes. Leaching process parameters such as pH of the acid solution, leaching ... -
Silica extraction from agricultural waste as corrosion inhibitor
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2016-06)Rice husk and rice straw are found abundant as by-product of the the rice milling industry. Both of the agricultural wastes have a great potential to be used as raw material in industry. Rice husk and rice straw normally ... -
Synthesis and characterisation of SiC nanomaterials from reaction of palm kernel shell and silica
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Materials Engineering, 2016-06)Silicon carbide (SiC) is one of the non-oxide ceramic materials that are widely developed due to its superior properties. Typically, SiC nanomaterials are synthesised by using high purity of silicon react with high purity ...
