Conductive 3D printed PLA composites: On the interplay of mechanical, electrical and thermal behaviours

Preparation of Organo Nanoclay Incorporated Polyamide/ Melamine Cyanurate/Nanoclay Composites and Study on Thermal and Mechanical Behaviours

This study focuses on achieving high stiffness/strength and good FR characteristic of nylon 66/MCA/NC nanocomposites, prepared via melt compounding by twin screw extruder. A synergistic effect of flame retardant systems based on melamine cyanurate and zinc borate on the flammability and mechanical behaviours of crysnanoclay reinforced nylon 66 nanocomposites have been reported. Mechanical test ...

Electrical and Mechanical Performance of Hybrid and Non-hybrid Composites

This paper investigated the moisture absorption, mechanical behavior and the dielectric performance of hybrid and non-hybrid polymeric composites. Hand lay-up technique was used for processing carbon; glass reinforced polyester resin composites (non-hybrid) and carbon-glass/polyester hybrid composites with various fiber configurations. The maximum resistance of water absorption was obtained for...

3D-Printed Autonomous Sensory Composites

DOI: 10.1002/admt.201600257 materials (solids, thin-films, and liquids) and functions into a single seamless autonomous sensory composite by avoiding the use of a premade substrate, and 3D-printing all required materials without any external processing. We present a monolithic integration of strain sensitive elements with an organic electrochemical transistor (OECT)based amplifier and an electr...

Lead Free Conductive Composites for Electrical Interconnections

Effect of Carbon Nanotube and Surfactant on Processing, Mechanical, Electrical and EMI-Shielding of Epoxy Composites

Dispersing nanoparticles in a polymer matrix is intrinsically challenging due to unfavorable entropic interactions between the matrix and the nanoparticle. In this research dispersion of nanoparticles in polymer matrix was studied and the effect of dispersion on properties was investigated. The properties of polymer composite depend on the type, size, shape, concentration of nanoparticles, and ...
