Hybrid multiwalled carbon nanotubes/minerals as potential fillers for polymer composites
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012-12)Minerals are always used as filler material in polymer composite application purposely to reduce the price. In order to optimize the use of mineral fillers instead of price reduction, there were several approaches that ... -
Identification of limiting friction coefficient towards improved hip prostheses
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)Wear generated by the presence of friction on hip joint contact surfaces can cause debris, which may lead to loosening and failure of the hip prostheses. The objective of this study is to examine the limiting friction ... -
Impact of controlled hydrophobicity of the organically modified silicates on the properties of biomedical thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanocomposites
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013-09)The impact of nanofiller surface modifications and hydrophobicity on the morphology and mechanical properties of the biomedical TPU nanocomposites was studied. We show that incorporating nanofillers with higher hydrophobicity ... -
Improving warpage on thin shallow parts in two-plate moulds with conformal cooling channels
(Praise Worthy Prize S.r.l., 2013-03)Nowadays, the trend of consumer products designed is getting smaller and most of cover is made from plastic which was produced by using injection molding process. Thus, the demand of thin shallow plastic parts in global ... -
In vitro biostability of poly(dimethyl siloxane/hexamethylene oxide)-based polyurethane/layered silicate nanocomposites
(Elsevier Ltd., 2013-09)We have prepared a number of silicone-based thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanocomposites and demonstrated an enhancement of in vitro biostability against metal-ion-induced oxidation for potential use in long-term ... -
The influence of CB, silica and CaCO₃ on tensile and morphological properties of vPE/rPE/EPDM blends
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)The virgin polyethylene (vPE) and recycled polyethylene (rPE) was melt blended with ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) in different ratio by using a Haake Rheomix at 180°C and 50 rpm were prepared. The characterization ... -
The influence of cure characteristics and crosslink density of virgin acrylonitrile butadiene rubber/recycled acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (vNBR/rNBR) blends
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)Cure characteristics and crosslink density of virgin acrylonitrile butadiene rubber/recycled acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (vNBR/rNBR) blends were studied. Three different size ranges of rNBR particles, i.e., 150 - 350 ... -
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 ... -
