Comparison was made between the properties of recycled newspaper (RNP)/carbon black (CB) and recycled newspaper (RNP)/silica hybrid filled polypropylene (PP)/natural rubber (NR) composites. The properties studied were ...

Natural weathering has been applied to investigate the properties of recycled newspaper (RNP)-filled polypropylene (PP)/natural rubber (NR) composites. Three sizes of RNP (11 mm, 23 mm, and 53 mm) were used in this study. ...

This report summarizes the effect of various inorganic fillers such as alumina (-Al2O3), calcium carbonate (CaCO3), silica (SiO2), and feldspar (KAlSi3O8) on the flammability behavior of polypropylene (PP) composites. The ...

This article presents a study on the properties and performance of copper-based composite reinforced with recycled tungsten carbide powder as spot welding electrode. The copper-tungsten carbide composite electrode was ...

The main purpose of incorporating fillers, such as clay into composites of polyolefin is to decrease costs and change the properties. Structural differences between both components give rise to the formation of large filler ...

Silicon carbide filled Polypropylene (PP) composites are fabricated, where the compounding is carried out by using Z-blade mixer with filler loadings of 0wt%, 10wt%, 20wt% and 30wt%. Composite sheets produced from hot press ...

Attempt has been made to combine the advantages of natural fiber and polymer. Composites based on high density polyethylene (HDPE) and two types of natural fiber were made through melt blending and compression molding. ...

A crucial step in the liquid state processing of particulates reinforced metal matrix composites is the incorporation of the ceramic particles into molten matrix alloy. The development of SiO2 coating on fly ash particles ...

Al/calcined dolomite metal-matrix composites (MMC) were fabricated and tested by varies the calcined dolomite content (10-30 wt%) and using unidirection compaction and sintering as consolidation method. Upon incorporation ...

Molybdenum filled polypropylene (PP/Mo) composites were prepared by using the Z-blade mixer at processing temperature 190°C and a speed of 35rpm with different filler loading varying between 0% and 40% by weight. A ...
