Mechanical properties of nanosilica/polypropylene composites under dynamic compression loading
(Society of Plastics Engineers, 2011-04)
This article presents results on the dynamic mechanical properties of PP-SiO2 nanocomposites, with nanosilica contents of 1, 3, and 5% by weight, at various strain rates using a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus. ...
Microstructure studies on the effect of the alkaline activators of fly ash-based geopolymer at elevated heat treatment temperature
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
Fly ash-based geopolymers are new binding materials produced to replace the ordinary Portland cement (OPC) used in concrete. In this research, the effect of alkaline activators on the compressive strength and the microstructure ...
Study on radioactivity components, water quality and microstructure characteristic of volcano ash as geopolymer artificial aggregate
(SYSCOM 18, 2013-06)
The assessments of radioactivity, water qualitytesting and microstructure characteristic of volcano ash have been examined. The measurement of the 226Ra, 232Th, 40K, and 238U were carried out using radioactive concentration ...
Feasibility of producing wood fibre-reinforced geopolymer composites (WFRGC)
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
Wood fibres have long been known as a fibre reinforcement for concrete. Due to its availability and low production cost, this natural fibre has been used in less developed country where conventional construction materials ...
Correlation between Na 2SiO 3/NaOH ratio and fly ash/alkaline activator ratio to the strength of geopolymer
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012)
Geopolymer requires an alkaline activator to induce it pozzolanic property and to accelerate the geopolymerisation process. The geopolymerisation process occurs due to the mixing of fly ash, sodium silicate and sodium ...
Malaysian Foxtail grass - A potential source of natural/agro fibre for polymer composite panel
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
Foxtail grass, also known as 'rumput bulu' by the local people, is one of the fast growing grasses abundantly available all over Malaysia. A full grown Foxtail grass attains a height of about 0.5 - 1.5 meters. The fibres ...
Intermetallic compound formation on solder alloy/cu-substrate interface using lead-free sn-0.7cu/recycled-aluminum composite solder
(Scientific.Net, 2012-12)
Feasibility of using recycled-Aluminum (re-Al) as reinforcement particulates in Sn-0.7Cu is assessed by powder technology method, whereby re-Al particulates are produced from discarded aluminum beverage cans. This paper ...
Effect of pyrolysis temperature on the synthesis of carbon fiber from natural organic waste
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)
Carbon fibers are produced from natural sources of water hyacinth plants that have been dried, ground and sieved to three different particle sizes of 600 μm, 300 μm and less than 300 μm. Through the analysis of data obtained ...
