Influence of surface modification of carbon nanotubes on interactions with polystyrene-b-polyisoprene-b-polystyrene matrix and its photo-actuation properties
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
The influence of various surface modification of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) on preferential interactions with individual phases of the linear triblock copolymer polystyrene-b-polyisoprene-b-polystyrene (SIS) and ...
Synthesis and electrochemical properties of nickel oxide/carbon nanofiber composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
The electrospinning of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) with a polyaniline and graphene sol–gel mixture produced uniform, smooth fibers with an average diameter of 0.3 μm. These electrospun fibers were stabilized for 2 h at 200 °C ...
Processing, characterization and modeling of recycled polypropylene/glass fibre/wood flour composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Polypropylene (PP) is one of the most common thermoplastic materials in the world. There is a need to recycle the large amount of this used material. To overcome the environmental problems, related to the polymer waste, ...
Designing dual phase sensing materials from polyaniline filled styrene-isoprene-styrene composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
The demand for developing oil detectors is ever increasing since the cleanup and recovery from oil spill usually take long time. Here we propose oil sensors made of polyaniline (PANI) filled poly(styrene-isoprene-styrene) ...
Novel deformation structures of pure titanium induced by room temperature equal channel angular pressing
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Novel deformation structures of commercial pure (CP) Ti induced by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at room temperature have been studied by electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD). All the deformation twins occurring ...
Evaluation Techniques for the Corrosion Resistance of Self-Healing Coatings
(
ESG
, 2014 , Article)
Self-healing coatings, materials that autonomically repair damage, are a method of extending the life of corrosion prevention coatings. The different types of self-healing coatings are briefly outlined. A review of the ...
Achieve high ductility and strength in an Al-Mg alloy by severe plastic deformation combined with inter-pass annealing
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Metallic materials processed by severe plastic deformation generally possess very high strength but a rather low uniform elongation, usually <5%. In the present Al-7Mg alloy processed by room temperature equal channel ...
Direct electroreduction of indium and tin oxides in molten salts
(
Electrochemical Society Inc.
, 2014 , Article)
Indium is a rare metal. The largest end use for indium is in thinfilm coatings as indium oxide combined with 10 percent tin oxide (ITO). However, indium has recycling rates less than 1%. Indium and tin are especially well ...
Grain refining and improving mechanical properties of a warm rolled AZ31 alloy plate
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
The mechanical properties of an AZ31 magnesium alloy were improved after warm rolling. The study involved a pre-rolling condition in which the material consisted of twins, playing a key role in recrystallization grain ...
Electrically conductive composites based on an elastomeric matrix filled with expanded graphite as a potential oil sensing material
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2014 , Article)
The preparation and properties of electrically conductive polymeric composites based on an elastomer matrix (styrene-isoprene styrene block copolymer) filled with expanded graphite are reported in this paper. The developed ...
