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. ...
Mechanical and thermal behavior of non-crimp glass fiber reinforced layered clay/epoxy nanocomposites
(Elsevier, 2007-12)
Mechanical and thermal properties of non-crimp glass fiber reinforced clay/epoxy nanocomposites were investigated. Clay/epoxy nanocomposite systems were prepared to use as the matrix material for composite laminates. X-ray ...
The effect of interfacial interactions on the mechanical properties of polypropylene/natural zeolite composites
(Elsevier, 2004-01)
The effect of interfacial interactions on the mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP)/natural zeolite composites was investigated under dry and wet conditions. Interfacial interactions were modified to improve filler ...
Critical aspects related to processing of carbon nanotube/unsaturated thermoset polyester nanocomposites
(Elsevier, 2007-02)
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have outstanding mechanical, thermal and electrical properties. As a result, particular interest has been recently given in exploiting these properties by incorporating carbon nanotubes into some ...
Mechanical and morphological properties of recycled high-density polyethylene, filled with calcium carbonate and fly ash
(Wiley, 2006-12)
In this study, mechanical and morphological properties of composites made up of recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) filled with calcium carbonate and fly ash (FA) were studied. Interfacial interactions were modified ...
Numerical and experimental studies of damage generation in a polymer composite material at high strain rates
(Elsevier, 2006-09)
Samples of S2-glass/epoxy composites have been subjected to microstructural investigation after testing in compression at quasi-static and high strain rates using the split Hopkinson pressure bar. A numerical model was ...
Influence of surface modification of fillers and polymer on flammability and tensile behaviour of polypropylene-composites
(Elsevier, 2006-05)
An intumescent system consisting of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) as an acid source and blowing agent, pentaerythritol (PER) as a carbonific agent and natural zeolite (clinoptilolite, Gördes II) as a synergistic agent was ...
Effects of compaction pressure and particle shape on the porosity and compression mechanical properties of sintered Ti6Al4V powder compacts for hard tissue implantation
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2007)
Sintered Ti6Al4V powder compacts potentially to be used in implant applications were prepared using commercially available spherical and angular powders (100-200 mum) within the porosity range of 34-54%. Cylindrical green ...
Stress wave propagation effects in two- and three-layered composite materials
(SAGE Publications, 2004)
Multilayer materials consisting of ceramic and glass/epoxy composites have been subjected to high strain rate compression testing using the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar. The samples were extensively strain gaged so that ...
