Investigating the tribology of poly-ether-ether-ketone at high temperatures
The change in crystallinity of polymer samples at high temperature was used to analyze fretting wear behavior.Effects of tempering on adhesion of liquid silicone rubber to thermoplastics
Tempering improves the mechanical properties of liquid silicone rubber, but also decreases its ability to adhere to engineering thermoplastics.
Effects of temperature on the relaxation behavior of poly(lactic acid)
A series of tensile loading–unloading and relaxation tests, under stretching and retraction cyclic deformation conditions, were conducted between room temperature and 50!sup!°!/sup!C.
Wear mechanisms in palmyra-fruit-fiber-reinforced polymer composites
The effect of several different fiber-surface chemical treatments is investigated for palmyra fruit fiber/polyester samples.
Investigating radiation effects in polymethacrylimide sandwich structure composites
Upon radiation exposure, polymer fragmentation causes a sharp degradation in the mechanical and thermal properties of Rohacell foams.
Thermal treatment influences the fatigue response of basalt-fiber-reinforced polymer
Exposure to elevated temperatures causes the degradation of the resin matrix and a reduction of bonding strength in composite samples, and thus accelerates the propagation of fatigue damage.
Fabrication of self-reinforced cellulose composites
Cellulose fibers from agricultural waste are used to prepare composites with improved mechanical properties.
Low-velocity impact response of nanotube-reinforced composite cylindrical shells
A two-step perturbation method is used to study the nonlinear behavior of functionally graded carbon-nanotube-reinforced composite cylindrical shells with different filler distributions.
Fracture behavior of high-density polyethylene composites
The essential work of fracture concept was used to study the effect of nanoclay on the plain-strain fracturing of pristine and recycled blends.
Predicting thermal degradation mechanisms in polymer composites
Kinetic modeling and structural analyses are used to determine degradation pathways in metal-filled epoxy materials.Viewing 1 to 10 of 45 articles
