    • Deformation and energy absorption characteristics of Biomass foam composites 

      Nur Azni, Mohd Azizan; Arzuria Sinar, Adnan; Firuz, Zainuddin; Supri, Abdul Ghani, Assoc. Prof. Dr. (Trans Tech Publications Inc., 2014-04)
      Deformation and energy absorption characteristic of biomass foam composites are important in crashwortyness efficiency. The type of foam that had been used in this research is polyurethane (PU) foam with plant-based filler ...

    • Drop weight impact analysis of laminated polyurethane foam/cloisite 30B clay 

      Firuz, Zainuddin; Hazizan, Md Akil; Sahrim, Hj Ahmad, Prof. Dr.; Rozaidi, Rasid; Syed Nuzul Fadzli, Syed Adam (Trans Tech Publications, 2014-01)
      Laminated polyurethane foam composite was produced by incorporating Cloisite 30B clay as filler and aluminium sheet as the skin. Initially, PU foams were synthesized with reaction of natural oil polyol and isocyanate with ...

    • Effect of carbon nanotubes on the compression test and energy absorption of aluminium/polyurethane-carbon nanotubes foam sandwich 

      Sinar Arzuria, Adnan; Siti Nursyafiqah, Samsudin; Firuz, Zainuddin; Nur Azni, Azizan; Hazizan, Md Akil; Sahrim, Hj Ahmad, Prof. Dr. (Trans Tech Publications, 2014)
      The foam was prepared by mixing the polyols, isocyanate and carbonnanotubes (CNTs) at 1000 rpm speed. The different content of the CNTs are varies from 0 3 (0, 0.5, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0) percent by weight. The foam sandwich ...

    • Properties of recycled high density polyethylene/recycled polypropylene blends : Effect of maleic anhydride polypropylene 

      Maryam Atiqah, A.A.S.; Salmah Husseinsyah, Prof. Madya Ir. Dr.; Firuz, Zainuddin; Du Ngoc, Uy Lan (Trans Tech Publications, 2014)
      Polymer blending provides an efficient way to develop new materials with improved properties while preserve the primary properties of the materials at lower cost. The blends recycled high density polyethylene (rHDPE) and ...

    • Sol-gel synthesis and preliminary characterizations of novel silica hybrid xerogels 

      Syed Nuzul Fadzli, Syed Adam; Roslinda, Shamsudin, Dr.; Firuz, Zainuddin (Trans Tech Publications, 2013-12)
      Hybrid silica xerogel mesoporous composite was synthesized by a mild temperature acid catalysed sol-gel route where a natural copolymer; sodium alginate (Na-COOH) together with calcium oxide (CaO) powder were incorporated ...

    • Sol-gel synthesis of novel silica hybrid xerogels : Porous studies 

      Syed Nuzul Fadzli, Syed Adam; Roslinda, Shamsudin, Dr.; Shahidan, Radiman, Prof. Dr.; Firuz, Zainuddin (Trans Tech Publications, 2014)
      Hybrid silica xerogel mesoporous composite was synthesized by a low temperature acid catalysed sol-gel route where a natural copolymer; sodium alginate (Na-COOH) together with calcium oxide (CaO) powder were incorporated ...
