Comparison of mechanical properties of polypropylene/acrylonitrile butadiene rubber/rice husk powder composites modified with silane and acetic anhydride compound
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013-09)
Polypropylene(PP)/Acrylonitrile butadiene rubber(NBRr)/rice husk powder(RHP) composites was fabricated with silane and acetic anhydride treatment agent. The in- situ formed RHP filled PP/NBRr composites were prepared by ...
Sulfuric acid attack on ordinary Portland cement and geopolymer material
(Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), 2013-09)
The resistance of ordinary Portland cement binder towards acid had been widely discussed by researchers. The deterioration effect of this binder may cost high repair expense and rehabilitation. Geopolymer material is a new ...
Effect of alkali concentration on mechanical properties of kaolin geopolymers
(Foundation for Materials Science and Engineering, 2012)
Alkali concentration is the most significant factor in geopolymerization process that must be taken into consideration during the synthesis of kaolin geopolymers. The kaolin geopolymers were prepared by mixing kaolin and ...
Mechanical properties of dissimilar welds between stainless steel and mild steel
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
Joining of stainless steel type 304 to mild steel was carried out using a gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). Samples were welded using stainless steel welding electrode: (AWS: E308l-16) and mild steel welding electrode: (AWS: ...
Mechanical properties, water absorption, and swelling behaviour of rice husk powder filled polypropylene/recycled acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (pp/nbrr/rhp) biocomposites using silane as a coupling agent
(North Carolina University, 2011-11)
The performance of rice husk powder (RHP) filled polypropylene (PP)/recycled acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBRr) biocomposites with and without coupling agent, γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APS), were investigated. The ...
Effect of spot welding current and cycles on the mechanical properties of welded galvanized steel sheets
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
Studies on the effects of welding current and cycles were carried on the galvanized steel sheets using spot welding. The welding currents used were 3 kA, 5 kA 6 kA and the welding cycles were 4, 6 and 8. Tensile shear and ...
Preparation and properties of nanosilica-filled polypropylene composites with PP-methyl POSS as compatibiliser
(Elsevier Ltd., 2009)
Nanosilica-filled polypropylene composites, containing 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 wt% of fumed silica nanoparticles were prepared using a thermo Haake internal mixer. Polypropylene-methyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (PP-methyl ...
Mechanical properties of polymer composites with sugarcane bagasse filler
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
Natural fibers reinforced polymer composites have gained more interest because of their biodegradable, light weight, less expensive sources, easy processing, high specific modulus and also environmentally friendly appeal. ...
Comparative study between PP-g-MAH and PP-methyl-POSS as compatibilizer for NanoSiO2/PP composites: Mechanical and morphological properties
(Adcotec Ltd., 2009)
The work presented in this paper discussed the effect of two types of compatibilizer such as polypropylene grafted maleic anhydrate (PP-g-MAH) and polypropylene methyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (PP-methyl-POSS) ...
Mechanical properties of paper from oil palm pulp treated with chitosan from horseshoe crab
(AENSI Publisher All rights reserved, 2013-10)
The application of chitosan as an additive in papermaking to improve the strength and water resistant properties is described. Unbleached sulphate pulp from oil palm stem was treated with chitosan. The chitosan was prepared ...
