This work provides a facile strategy to induce crystallization of polycarbonate (PC) through solvent casting method. Pristine fullerene (C60) and PC-modified C60 nanoparticles are applied as nucleating agents for PC, and the crystallization behavior of PC nanocomposite films is controlled by solvent casting preparation conditions. To investigate th...

This study compares fracture energy of an epoxy polymer from the addition of different wt% of nanoparticles, for both experimental and FEA modelling studies. Silica and core–shell rubber (CSR) particles, and the hybrid of both (from 0.5 wt% to the maximum concentration of 25.4 wt%) are used. An increase in fracture energy was found in the CSR and h...

In this paper, 3D warp-knitted camouflage fabrics were fabricated with two kinds of bottom structure. Polyester and coating treated PE flat wire were used as raw materials. The samples were manufactured by the RD6N warp-knitting machine. The properties of camouflage fabrics were tested and analyzed. Results show that the lowest reflection loss of 2...

The surface of carbon fiber (CF) was modified by the electrophoretic deposition of cationic chitosan (CS), which is expected to enhance the hygrothermal and mechanical properties of carbon fiber/polyamide 6 (CF/PA 6) composites. Carbon fiber in various treatment stages was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectro...

Poly (methyl methacrylate) or PMMA is an acrylic material has been used widely as a denture base material. The denture base is subjected to various stresses during the function, these include tensile and flexural stresses. The current study was aimed to experimentally evaluate the effect of different filler concentrations on physical and mechanical...

This work incorporates experimental methods based on Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) in order to extract the physical and mechanical characteristics of the head and neck cancer (HN-5) cell line such as cell topography, modulus of elasticity and viscoelastic properties. The initial parameters to determine the mechanical properties are obtained by extr...

Temperature variations during friction stir welding result from the heat generated by the frictional action of a rotating tool on the workpiece. This temperature distribution affects the mechanical behaviour and ultimately the quality of welds produced. The study of the correlations between process parameter, temperature, mechanical properties and ...

In proposed study the effect of the composition and structure of polyurethane/ground rubber (PUR/GR) composites on the mechanical behavior was evaluated. The structure–properties relationship was studied for PUR matrices with different polarity, porosity and mechanical properties. The morphology of PUR/GR composites was expressed by two structural ...

Single-, double-, and triple-walled beryllium oxide nanotubes (BeONTs) along with BeO nanopeapods were simulated and geometrically optimized under the density functional theory (DFT) framework to investigate their Young’s modulus, electronic properties, and stability. We found better properties in single-walled nanotubes, either their electronic or...

Basalt fibre (BF)/acrylonitrile–butadiene rubber (NBR) composites with various BF contents and orientations were prepared, and the curing, physical and mechanical properties and wear performance under block-on-ring abrasion conditions were evaluated. The results showed that the curing time was not obviously affected by the BFs. The addition of BFs ...
