The influence of paraffin wax addition on the isothermal crystallization of LLDPE
(
Wiley
, 2016 , Article)
The influence of paraffin wax addition on the isothermal crystallization kinetics of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) was studied in a temperature range where the wax was always in the molten state and could be ...
Multivariate multilevel models for attitudes toward statistics: multi-disciplinary settings in Afghanistan
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2016 , Article)
The present paper focuses on examining students' attitudes and perception of statistics in Afghanistan universities and the factor structure of the statistical anxiety rating scale (STARS). In total, 209 undergraduate ...
Electrospun PVDF graphene oxide composite fibre mats with tunable physical properties.
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
This article is aimed at a basic physical characterization of electrospun PVDF/graphene oxide (GO) composite non-woven fibre mats. The morphological characterization of the prepared fabrics was performed via SEM investigations. ...
Plasticization and co-crystallization in LLDPE/wax blends.
(
Wiley Periodicals, Inc
, 2016 , Article)
The structure and thermal properties of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE)/medium soft paraffin wax blends, prepared by melt mixing, were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and small- and wide-angle ...
Effect of layered silicates on the thermal stability of PCL/PLA microfibrillar composites
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
This paper reports on an investigation of the influence of the presence of two different clays, Cloisite 15A
and Cloisite 30B, and fibre drawing on the degradation behaviour and kinetics of PCL/PLA composites. It
was ...
The impact of globalisation on society and culture in Qatar
(
Universiti Putra Malaysia
, 2016 , Article)
The discovery of oil and the economic development and growth that followed has placed Gulf Countries on the fast path to urbanisation and modernisation, bringing an impact on traditional family relations and functions. In ...
Morphology and magnetic properties of the ethylene-co-vinyl acetate/iron nanocomposite films prepared by implantation with Fe6+ ions
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Ethylene-co-vinyl acetate/iron nanocomposite films were fabricated by implantation with multiplecharged ions at different fluencies. The films obtained with ion fluency of 1 × 1017cm−2were used forspecific studies. It was ...
Investigation of the physico-mechanical properties of electrospun PVDF/cellulose nanofibers.
(
Wiley
, 2016 , Article)
The electro-activity and mechanical properties of PVDF depends mainly on the b-phase content and degree of crystallinity. In this study, cellulose fibers were used to improve these characteristics. This could be achieved ...
Preparation and characterisation of Ce:YAG -polycarbonate composites for white LED
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Ce:YAG-polycarbonate composites were prepared with several amounts of Ce:YAG in the range 0.1–5 wt.% by using melt compounding. The structure and morphology of the composites were investigated by means of X-ray diffractometry ...
A Collaboration Incentive Exploiting the Primary-Secondary Systems' Cross Interference for PHY Security Enhancement
(
IEEE
, 2016 , Article)
We investigate the spectrum sharing possibility as an incentive to enhance the physical layer security. The concept behind is that a legitimate source-destination pair, communicating in the presence of a passive eavesdropper, ...
