Kinetic Study Of The Crystallization Of Lldpe And Wax In Lldpe/wax Phase-change Blends Used For Thermal Energy Storage
Gumede, Thandi; Stephanus Luyt, Adriaan; Muller, Alejandro ( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2014 , Conference Paper)Phase-change materials are used to store and release energy through phase changes, be it melting and solidification processes or solid state phase transitions. Among a large number of phase-change materials are paraffin ... -
Morphology, nucleation, and isothermal crystallization kinetics of poly(butylene succinate) mixed with a polycarbonate/MWCNTs masterbatch
Gumede, Thandi P.; Luyt, Adriaan S.; Pérez-Camargo, Ricardo A.; Tercjak, Agnieszka; Müller, Alejandro J. ( MDPI , 2018 , Article)In this study, nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) with a polycarbonate (PC)/multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) masterbatch, in a twin-screw extruder. The nanocomposites contained ... -
Plasticization and co-crystallization in LLDPE/wax blends.
