Calcined and natural frustules filled epoxy matrices: The effect of volume fraction on the tensile and compression behavior
(Elsevier, 2013-01)
The effects of calcined diatom (CD) and natural diatom (ND) frustules filling (0–12 vol.%) on the quasistatic
tensile and quasi-static and high strain rate compression behavior of an epoxy matrix were
investigated ...
Foam glass processing using a polishing glass powder residue
(Elsevier, 2013)
The foaming behavior of a powder residue/waste of a soda-lime window glass polishing facility was investigated at the temperatures between 700 and 950 °C. The results showed that the foaming of the glass powder started at ...
Improvement of barrier and mechanical properties of whey protein isolate based food packaging films by incorporation of zein nanoparticles as a novel bionanocomposite
(Elsevier, 2016-03-01)
In this study, whey protein isolate (WPI) based bio-nanocomposite films embedded with zein nanoparticles (ZNP) were prepared by solution casting. Nanoparticles were coated with sodium caseinate to obtain a uniform distribution ...
Microstructure and mechanical properties of A357/SiC nanocomposites fabricated by ultrasonic cavitation-based dispersion of ball-milled nanoparticles
(SAGE Publications, 2017-02)
In this work, A357/0.5 wt.% SiC nanocomposites were fabricated with a combination of ultrasonic processing and a nanoparticle feeding mechanism that involves the introduction of a closed end aluminium tube filled with the ...
Isothermal crystallization kinetics and mechanical properties of polycaprolactone composites with zinc oxide, oleic acid, and glycerol monooleate
(Wiley, 2013-10)
The isothermal crystallization and mechanical behavior of polycaprolactone (PCL) with zinc oxide (ZnO) with oleic acid and glycerol monooleate (GMO) were studied. Theoretical melting points calculated by the Flory-Huggins ...
Improving the workability and rheological properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites using factorial experimental design
(Elsevier, 2013-02)
In the development of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC), micromechanics-based design theory is adopted to properly select the matrix constituents, fiber, and fiber-matrix interface properties to exhibit strain ...
Effect of corn-zein coating on the mechanical properties of polypropylene packaging films
(Wiley, 2011-01-05)
In this study, a novel film structure of corn zein coated on polypropylene (PP) synthetic films for food packaging applications was developed, and the mechanical properties of the resulting coated film, as affected by the ...
Use of spent foundry sand and fly ash for the development of green self-consolidating concrete
(Springer, 2011-08)
In the United States alone, the foundry industry discards up to 10 million tons of sand each year, offering up a plentiful potential resource to replace sand in concrete products. However, because the use of spent foundry ...
Effects of particle size and electrical resistivity of filler on mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of linear low density polyethylene-zinc oxide composites
(Wiley, 2013-11)
The effects of particle size and electrical resistivity of zinc oxide (ZnO) on mechanical properties, electrical and thermal conductivities of composites made with linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) were investigated. ...
Specimen size effect on the residual properties of engineered cementitious composites subjected to high temperatures
(Elsevier Limited, 2014)
In this study, size effect on the residual properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) was investigated on the specimens exposed to high temperatures up to 800 C. Cylindrical specimens having different sizes ...
