Effect of expanded graphite on the phase change materials of high density polyethylene/wax blends
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Phase change materials fabricated from high density polyethylene (HDPE) blended with 40 or 50 wt% commercial wax (melting point of 43.08�C) and up to 15 wt% expanded graphite (EG) were studied. Techniques including scanning ...
Nanomechanical properties of plasma treated polylactic acid
(
Maney Publishing
, 2015 , Article)
In this work, a radio frequency discharged plasma generated in air atmosphere by pressure has been used to modify polylactic acid (PLA) surface. The results were evaluated through nanoindentation testing. Contact angle ...
Thermal properties of smart microencapsulated paraffin/plaster composites for the thermal regulation of buildings
(
Elsevier Ltd
