Mechanical properties and fracture behaviour of coconut fibre-based green composites
(Foundation for Materials Science and Engineering “Serban Solacolu”, 2012)
This paper presents the influence of natural fibre content on the mechanical properties of coconut fibre based-green composites. The mixture ratio of cement:sand by weight was fixed at 1:1. Coconut fibre was used as ...
Nutritional properties of edible bird nest
(Asian Economic and Social Society, 2013-06)
Edible bird nest (EBN) is a dried glutinous secretion from the salivary glands of several different swiftlet species. It is widely consumed as a health food due to its high beneficial effects to human health and has been ...
Influence of different exchange correlation potentials on band structure and optical constant calculations of ZrGa2 and ZrGe2 single crystals
(Elsevier B.V., 2013-10)
The all-electron full potential linearized augmented plane wave method was used to solve the Kohn Sham DFT equations. We have employed different approximations for the exchange correlation potentials, namely: LDA, GGA and ...
Low density fibrous material surface light reflectance analysis
(AENSI Publisher All rights reserved, 2013-10)
The light based surface finishing of most product measurement is an important feature in the industries. In this paper, a lab fabricated tester for investigation on the quality of low density paper which was represent by ...
Influence of oxide molar ratios on kaolin geopolymers
(American Scientific Publishers, 2013-12)
Oxide molar ratios are the main key parameter determining the performance of a kaolin geopolymers. The kaolin composition and various mixture proportions will lead to different oxide molar ratios in geopolymer system. In ...
Chemical modification of chitosan-filled polypropylene (PP) composites: The effect of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane on mechanical and thermal properties
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2011-01)
Chitosan was used as filler in polypropylene (PP) polymer. In order to improve compatibility between chitosan and PP, chitosan was chemically modified with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (3-APE). The results show that the ...
FSS microchannel fluid flow profile investigation at high and low Re number
(AENSI Publisher All rights reserved, 2013-10)
The fundamental understanding of dynamic fluid flow behavior in different geometry channel is crucial due to transport phenomena influence on the key design and process control of the microfluidic systems. Recently, the ...
Mechanical and microstructural evaluations of lightweight aggregate geopolymer concrete before and after exposed to elevated temperatures
(MDPI, Basel, Switzerland, 2013)
This paper presents the mechanical and microstructural characteristics of a lightweight aggregate geopolymer concrete (LWAGC) synthesized by the alkali-activation of a fly ash source (FA) before and after being exposed to ...
A study on the synthesis of fly ash-based lightweight aggregate geopolymer concrete
(American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved., 2013-01)
The experiments conducting for current investigation aimed to study the synthesis process for lightweight aggregate geopolymer concrete (LWAGC) and explore the significance and limitations of the activator content on the ...
Effects of trans-polyoctylene rubber in polypropylene/recycled acrylonitrile butadiene/rice husk powder composites
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)
Composites of polypropylene/Acylonitrile butadiene rubber/Rice husk powder/ (PP/NBRr/RHP) with and without trans-polyoctylene rubber (TOR) were prepared, and the effects of trans-polyoctylene rubber were investigated. By ...
