Influence of the Ce :YAG amount on structure and optical properties of Ce :YAG-PMMA composites for white LED
(
De Gruyter
, 2016 , Article)
Ce:YAG-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composites were prepared by using a melt compounding method, adding several amounts of Ce:YAG in the range 0.1–5wt.%. The optical properties of the obtained composites and of the ...
TiO2 nanotubes and mesoporous silica as containers in self-healing epoxy coatings
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2016 , Article)
The potential of inorganic nanomaterials as reservoirs for healing agents is presented here. Mesoporous silica (SBA-15) and TiO2 nanotubes (TNTs) were synthesized. Both epoxy-encapsulated TiO2 nanotubes and amine-immobilized ...
Erosion behaviour of API X100 pipeline steel at various impact angles and particle speeds
(
MDPI AG
, 2016 , Article)
Erosion is the gradual removal of material due to solid particle impingement and results in a failure of pipeline materials. In this study, a series of erosion tests were carried out to investigate the influence of particle ...
Solvent Uptake of Liquid Rubber Toughened Epoxy/Clay Nanocomposites
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Carboxyl-terminated poly (butadiene-co-acrylonitrile) (CTBN) liquid rubber toughened epoxy (epoxy/CTBN blend) and CTBN-toughened epoxy/clay nanocomposites (epoxy/clay/CTBN nanocomposites) were prepared, and solvent (acetone) ...
Polymer chain dynamics in epoxy based composites as investigated by broadband dielectric spectroscopy
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Epoxy networks of the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) were prepared using 3,3′- and 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl sulfone isomer crosslinkers. Secondary relaxations and the glass transitions of resultant networks were probed ...
Molecular scale cure rate dependence of thermoset matrix polymers
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
This manuscript demonstrates the molecular scale cure rate dependence of di-functional epoxide based thermoset polymers cured with amines. A series of cure heating ramp rates were used to determine the influence of ramp ...
Flexible thermo-electrochemical cells using Iodolyte HI-30 for conversion of low-grade heat to electrical energy
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
In this research work, we investigated the flexible thermo-electro chemical cells (TECs) for the conversion of low-grade heat into electrical energy in the temperature range of 20–70 °C. The TECs were fabricated using 30 ...
Structural and electrochemical properties of electrodeposited Ni-P nanocomposite coatings containing mixed ceramic oxide particles
(
Electrochemical Science Group
, 2016 , Article)
Mixed oxide ceramic particles were incorporated into Ni-P matrix to synthesize Ni-P-TiO2-CeO2 nanocomposite coatings. In the present study, the effect of concentration of mixed oxide ceramic particles (TiO2 and CeO2) on ...
Effect of barrier plasma pre-treatment on polyester films and their adhesive properties on oak wood
(
North Carolina State University
, 2016 , Article)
A barrier plasma, created at atmospheric pressure, was used to improve the surface and adhesive properties of polyester (PES) film with respect to wood using polyurethane adhesives. The modification of PES film surfaces ...
Effect of two types of graphene nanoplatelets on the physico-mechanical properties of linear low-density polyethylene composites
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2016 , Article)
The influence of two types of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) on the physico-mechanical properties of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) was investigated. The addition of these two types of GNPs - designated as grades ...
