As the most outstanding type of organic fiber in terms of the comprehensive performance, polyimide fiber is more conducive to reduce the composites weight than inorganic fibers, such as carbon fiber or glass fiber. A polyimide-fabric-reinforced polyether ether ketone (PEEK) composite was prepared by a hot-press molding process. The melt flow rate o...

Three kinds of lyocell fibers with different cross-sectional profiles including circular, Y-shape, and H-shape (abbreviated as O-, Y-, and H-lyocell) and similar mechanical properties were used to reinforce polylactic acid (PLA) by melt compounding and injection molding. The influence of lyocell cross-section shape on the interfacial shearing force...

A new reactive flame retardant (DTA), containing phosphaphenanthrene and triazine-trione groups was synthesized and applied to improve the flame retardancy of unsaturated polyester resin. The thermal stability, flame retardancy and combustion behaviors of UP/DTA thermosets were detected by thermogravimeric analysis (TG), limited oxygen index (LOI),...

In this paper, tiny amount of methacryloxyethyl trimethylammonium chloride (DMC) was added in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) in order to widen its thermoplastic processing window. The effects of DMC content on thermal, mechanical, optical, and water resistance were investigated. The results showed that the thermal stability of PVA/DMC was improved obvio...

Electrospinning is a trendy method because of the ease of use and the high surface-to-volume ratio. The mechanical and biological properties of polylactic acid (PLA) make it one of the most enticing polymers. Gelatin and PLA together are thought to enhance cellular behavior and hydrophilicity of scaffolds. Furthermore, chitosan nanoparticles (CNPs)...

Composites have become attractive to many industries today and are a good alternative to many traditional materials. Epoxy granite (EG) is used as a competitive alternative to ground ceramics, especially as a foundation for machine tools. This is because of their high damping ratio compared to other traditional materials such as cast iron. In the p...

Plastic gear applications are rapidly increasing in transmission systems in automotive, domestic and kitchen machineries. Biopolymer gears are now being preferred over polymer gears due to its biodegradable properties. Hence, a comparative investigation of wear characteristics between polymer and biopolymer gears is studied. Injection molded biopol...
