Tunable stiffness of electrorheological elastomers by designing mesostructures

Damping Behavior of the Phenolic Based Composite Friction Materials Containing Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs)

Attempts have been made for the first time to produce a friction material with thermal sensitive modulus by the inclusion of combined plastic/rubber properties of thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) as viscoelastic polymeric materials into the formulation for the purpose of increasing the damping behavior. In order to evaluate the viscoelastic parameters such as loss factor (tan δ) and elastic m...

Electrorheological Properties of Polyaniline Suspensions

Polyaniline (PANI) was synthesized via an oxidative coupling polymerization in acid condition and dedoped in ammonium hydroxide solution. Rheological properties of the PANI/silicone oil suspensions were investigated in the oscillatory shear mode to explore the effects of electric field strength, particle concentration, and host fluid viscosity on electrorheological (ER) characteristics. The PAN...

Influences of NCO/OH and triol/diol Ratios on the Mechanical Properties of Nitro-HTPB Based Polyurethane Elastomers

The present study describes the effect of NCO/OH and triol/diol ratios on the mechanical properties of Nitro functionalized Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (Nitro-HTPB) elastomers. The progress of the cure reaction of Nitro-HTPB and toluene diisocyanate (TDI) is evaluated by following up the variations in the IR absorption bands of the NCO stretching and the CO ...
