Properties of chitosan-filled polypropylene (PP) composites: The effect of acetic acid
(Taylor and Francis Group, LLC, 2012-01)
The main objective of this research was to investigate the effect of chitosan content and chemical modification with acetic acid on mechanical and thermal properties of PP/Chitosan. It was found that the tensile strength, ...
Wettability and interfacial phenomena investigations on high-density polyethylene and petroleum coke
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2012-08)
An in-depth wettability and interfacial phenomena investigation was carried out to study interactions between high density polyethylene (HDPE) and petroleum coke. The aim is to investigate the effect of temperature and ...
Review on the utilization of palm ash for geopolymer composite
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2012-06-18)
The waste materials from agro industry can be use as pozzolanic material in concrete production. One of the agro waste materials that have possibility is palm ash because it has been used up to 60% for cement replacement. ...
The influence of curing periods on the compressive strength of fly ash-based geopolymer at different aging times
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012)
The results of the current experimental investigation indicate the significant effect of the heating periods on the compressive strength of fly ash-based geopolymers prepared at different alkaline liquid content at both ...
Effect of pyrolysis on the wettability behaviour of polyethylene terephthalate on petroleum coke
(Scientific.Net, 2012-12)
In depth investigations has been carried out on thermoplastic polymers, polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The interaction between PET and PC substrate was studied to investigate the effect of oxygen-containing polymer on ...
The effect of damp sand content on the geopolymerization reaction of fly ash-based geopolymer mortars
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2012-06-18)
The results of the current experimental investigation indicates the significant effect of the
natural sand content prepared in damp condition on the compressive strength of fly ash-based
geopolymer mortars prepared at ...
The potential of mixing between ordinary portland cement and fly ash to produce the lightweight aggregate
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2012-06-18)
In this present study, the lightweight aggregates (LWA) were produced from ordinary Portland cement (OPC) mixed with fly ash with three type of composition. The LWA is produced in granules shape with the diameter of the ...
Compressive strength and crack propagation of cement composites reinforced coconut fibre
(Medwell Journals, 2012)
This study presents the compressive strength and crack propagation of cement composites reinforced coconut fibre. The development of cement composites in this research were done by substituting coconut fibre to the portion ...
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 ...
Optimization of alkaline activator / fly ash ratio on the compressive strength of manufacturing fly ash-based geopolymer
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012)
Fly ash and a mixture of alkaline activators namely sodium silicate (Waterglass) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution were used for preparing geopolymer. The aim of this research is to determine the optimum value of the ...
