Morphology, Dielectric and EMI Shielding Characteristics of Graphene Nanoplatelets, Montmorillonite Nanoclay and Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles Reinforced Polyvinylidenefluoride Nanocomposites

Studying the Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Polymer Nanocomposites Reinforced with Montmorillonite Nanoparticles Using Micromechanics Method

In this study, the mechanical and thermal behavior of the nano-reinforced polymer composite reinforced by Montmorillonite (MMT) nanoparticles is investigated. Due to low cost of computations, the 3D representative volume elements (RVE) method is utilized using ABAQUS finite element commercial software. Low density poly ethylene (LDPE) and MMT are used as matrix and nanoparticle material, respec...

Reprocessing of PLA/Graphene Nanoplatelets Nanocomposites

This work reports a study on the effect of multiple reprocessing on the properties of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) filled with graphene nanoplatelets (GnP) compared to the melt reprocessed neat polymeric matrix. In particular, morphological, X-Ray Diffraction and Micro-Raman analyses, intrinsic viscosity measurements, thermal, rheological and mechanical tests were carried out on materials reprocesse...

Influences of Thermal Treatment on the Dielectric Performances of Polystyrene Composites Reinforced by Graphene Nanoplatelets

Dielectric properties of composites near percolation threshold (fc) are often sensitive to thermal treatments, and the annealing temperature is usually associated with a polymer's rheological properties. In this study, the influences of the thermal treatment on dielectric properties are investigated for the polystyrene (PS) matrix composite reinforced by graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) fillers nea...

Title : PMMA / carbon nanotube nanocomposites foams for EMI shielding application

With the rapid development of gigahertz electronic systems, electromagnetic pollution has become a serious problem, which justifies a very active quest for effective electromagnetic interferences (EMI) shielding materials. Polymers filled with carbon fillers have been widely investigated for EMI shielding purposes because of unique combination of electrical conductivity and polymer flexibility....
