(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
the present work, nano-sized titanium carbide (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 vol%) reinforced aluminum (Al) metal matrix composites were synthesized by powder metallurgy incorporating microwave sintering and hot extrusion. Microstructural, ...
Multi-component MWCNT/NG/EP-based bipolar plates with enhanced mechanical and electrical characteristics fabricated by compression moulding
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
In this work, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), natural graphite (NG) and epoxy (EP) were used to fabricate bipolar plates by the compression moulding technique. The mechanical and thermal behaviours of the as-developed ...
Effect of Inconel625 particles on the microstructural, mechanical, and thermal properties of Al-Inconel625 composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
This research work investigates the effect of concentration of Inconel625 particles on the microstructural, mechanical, and thermal properties of Al-Inconel625 composites. The Al-Inconel625 composites containing varying ...
Improving mechanical, thermal and damping properties of niti (Nitinol) reinforced aluminum nanocomposites
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
In the present study, Ni50Ti50 (NiTi) particle reinforced aluminum nanocomposites were fabricated using microwave sintering and subsequently hot extrusion. The effect of NiTi (0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 vol %) content on the ...
Thermal and mechanical stability of microwave sintered cold compact bismuth telluride thermoelectric material
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Both p-type and n-type bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3)-based thermoelectric materials demonstrate high thermoelectric efficiency in the low-temperature thermoelectric modules, but their constrained thermal and mechanical stability ...
Microstructure and mechanical properties of aluminum matrix composites with bimodal-sized hybrid NbC-B4C reinforcements
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Aluminum (Al) is an earth-abundant metal recognized with superior properties for vital applications in the aerospace and transportation industries. Structural components of Al exhibit poor performance due to its inherent ...

(
BME-PT and GTE
, 2021 , Article)
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) has been found to be important in various applications, such as in the medical, pharma-ceutical, and packaging industries. However, the long-term associated degradation process of PLA is a limiting ...
Impact of corona and radio-frequency plasma treatment on the degradation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV)
(
BME-PT and GTE
, 2022 , Article)
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) is a polyester, produced naturally by microorganisms, with excellent biocompatibility. Corona and radio-frequency (RF) plasma treatment were applied in order to improve ...
Secondary chain motion and mechanical properties of γ-irradiated-regenerated cellulose films
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
Regenerated cellulose films prepared using NaOH/urea solvent system were exposed to different doses of γ-radiation, ranging from 5 to 50 kGy to modify their properties. Change in relative crystallinity as a function of ...
