Effect of nanostructured polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane on the physical properties of poly(vinyl alcohol)
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
An effective amphiphilic polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) encapsulated poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanocomposite was successfully fabricated by solution blending method. Anionic octa(tetramethylammonium) (Octa-TMA) ...
Microton irradiation induced tuning of dielectric properties of nano ZnO-natural rubber disks
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
The effect of electron beam irradiation of dielectric and conductivity properties of nano ZnO-natural rubber (NR) disks was investigated here. It is revealed that electric properties such as AC conductivity, dielectric ...

Using B4C nanoparticles to enhance thermal and mechanical response of aluminum
(
MDPI AG
, 2017 , Article)
In this work, Al-B4C nanocomposites were produced by microwave sintering and followed by hot extrusion processes. The influence of ceramic reinforcement (B4C) nanoparticles on the physical, microstructural, mechanical, and ...
Characterizing biaxially stretched polypropylene/graphene nanoplatelet composites
(
International Committee on Composite Materials
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
During moulding processes such as thermoforming and blow moulding, heated polymer materials are subjected to rapid biaxial deformation as they are drawn into the shape of a mould. It is therefore essential to accurately ...
