Papers
Quasi-Static Lateral Crushing of Non-Woven Kenaf Fibre Reinforced Composite Hexagonal Tubes
TL;DR: In this paper, the lateral quasi-static compression crushing testing and load carrying capacity of three different hexagonal angles ranging from 40ο to 60ο was carried out to understand the effect of hexagonal shape on the progressive deformation, crashworthiness and failure modes.
Tribological and morphological properties of bentonite nano‐clay/CaCO3 reinforced high‐density polyethylene nanocomposites
Tauseef Ahmed,H. Ya,Mohammad Azad Alam,Mohammad Fazle Azeem,M. R. Khan,S.M. Sapuan,Mohammad Yusuf,Junaid Afridi +7 more
TL;DR: The hybrid nanocomposite exhibits improved wear resistance due to the encapsulation and compatibilization effect of bentonite nano clay and CaCO3 particles.
Synthesis and Thermal Characterization of Polyurethane/Clay Nanocomposites Based on Palm Oil Polyol
Teuku Rihayat,Mohd Mawardi Saari,A. R. Suraya,M. Hilmi Mahmood,Khairul Zaman Mohd Dahlan,Wan Md Zin Wan Yunus,S.M. Sapuan +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal stability of polyurethane/clay nanocomposites based on palm oil polyol is investigated. And the authors used a pre-polymer method and evaluated by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectra (FTIR) to determine micro-domain structures of segmented PU, PU CTAB-mont 3% wt.
The influence of equi-biaxially fabric prestressing on the flexural performance of woven E-glass/polyester-reinforced composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of equi-biaxially fabric prestressing on flexural properties of plain-weave woven fabric-reinforced composites have been investigated.
Physical and mechanical properties of polyvinylidene fluoride - Short sugar palm fiber nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) reinforced with short sugar palm fiber (SSPF) composites were analyzed by measuring the composites' density, water absorption, moisture content, and thickness swelling.
