Characterization and mechanical properties of geopolymer materials using kaolin and white clay for coating application
Geopolymer exhibit a wide variety of properties in various applications including coating. Geopolymer as inorganic coating has good bonding structure of amorphous inorganic polymer which has excellent bonding agent properties ... -
Effect of polyaniline loading, types of surface modifiers and secondary doping process on the properties of poly (vinyl chloride) / poly (ethylene oxide) / polyaniline conductive films
The main objective of this research was to analyse the role of polyaniline (PAni) as conductive filler in the poly (vinyl chloride)(PVC) / poly (ethylene oxide)(PEO) matrix. The PVC/PEO/PAni conductive composite films were ... -
The effect of recycled rubber on the properties of epoxy/ recycled rubber blends filled with carbon black
In this study, the effect of carbon black (CB) and recycled rubber (RR) loading on properties and characterization of epoxy/recycled rubber/carbon black were studied. In the first part, the effect of different carbon black ... -
The effect of stearic acid treatment and calcium carbonate on properties of kenaf reinforced polyester composites
In this research, kenaf/unsaturated polyester and kenaf fiber/CaCO₃ polyester hybrid composites were fabricated using hand lay-up method. The effect of surface treatment of kenaf and CaCO₃ on the mechanical properties, ... -
Experimental and analytical study of drilling hybrid glass/carbon fibre reinforced epoxy composite
Hybrid composites have become increasingly attractive in research and development activities in recent times due to the capabilities to tailor their mechanical performance or characteristics to specific needs. Current ... -
Interlayer destabilization process of natural and commercial bentonite incorporated Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) nanocomposite with hybrid silicate nanofillers
Natural and commercial bentonites can act as efficient fillers to reinforce a polymer matrix if their strong interlayer binding forces are weakened to reduce tactoid formation. In this research, interlayers destabilization ... -
Preparation and characterization of hybrid filler reinforced UHMWPE composites for artificial joint replacement
This is a study of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) reinforced with zinc oxide (ZnO) under various filler loadings (3, 7, 12, 18 and 25 wt.%) and hybridized with incorporation of chitosan (CS). Further ... -
Study of the effect surface treatment of Kenaf fiber on mechanical and water absorption of kenaf filled unsaturated polyester composite
In this research, unsaturated polyester/kenaf fiber (UP/KF) composites was prepared by using hand lay-up process. The effect of surface treatment of kenaf fiber on mechanical, morphology, chemical structure and water ...
