Properties of low-density polyethylene/palm kernel shell composites: Effect of polyethylene co-acrylic acid
(SAGE Publications, 2013-02)
Palm kernel shell (PKS)-filled low-density polyethylene (LDPE) composites was studied. The polyethylene co-acrylic acid (PEAA) was used as compatibilizer. The tensile properties, thermal analysis, water absorption, and ...
Effect of inorganic fillers on the flammability behavior of polypropylene composites
(SAGE Publications, 2007)
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 ...
Ultra-violet radiation-cured biofiber composites from kenaf: The effect of montmorillonite on the flexural and impact properties
(Taylor & Francis, 2010-04)
Biofiber composites, cured by ultra-violet (UV) radiation were produced using kenaf fibers as the reinforcing agent and unsaturated polyester as the matrix. This research work focused on the effects of the incorporation ...
Effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate on mechanical and thermal properties of polypropylene/chitosan composites
(SAGE Publications, 2013-08)
The effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on mechanical and thermal properties of chitosan-filled polypropylene (PP) composites was investigated. Mechanical and thermal properties of PP/chitosan composites were analyzed ...
Effects of dynamic vulcanization on thermal properties of calcium carbonate filled polypropylene/ethylene propylene diene terpolymer composites
(Universiti Putra Malaysia Press, 2010-07)
In this study, dynamic vulcanization process was used to improve the thermal properties of calcium carbonate filled composites. The composites were prepared using a Z-blade mixer at 180°C and rotor speed 50rpm. Thermogravimetric ...
Studies on mechanical alloying of Copper-Tungsten Carbide composite for spot welding electrode
(Springer New York, 2009-02-27)
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 ...
Effect of Compatibilizer on Mechanical Properties and Morphology of Clay Filled Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Composites
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2007-06-09)
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 ...
The Effect of Porosity on Thermal Conductivity of Silicon Carbide Filled Polyproplyene Composite
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2007-06-09)
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 ...
Flexural properties of natural fiber filled high density Polyethylene (HDPE) composites
(Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), 2008-11-26)
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. ...
Effect of Particle Coating on Matrix-Reinforcement Bonding
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2007-06-09)
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 ...
