Thermoplastic films for damping laminated materials with improved water resistance

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...

Resistance Properties of Printed Polyolefin Films using Water-Based Inks

During recent decades due to the increase in pollutants release from various industries, reduction or elimination of volatile organic compounds VOCs has become one of the main purposes of researches in order to protect the environment. In this research, two acrylic emulsion resins and an adhesion promoter polyester emulsion resin were used to optimize water-based printing ink formulation for pr...

Recently, the protective clothing field introduces the usage of composite materials taking advantage of their outstanding properties. In this paper, the multifunctional performance of hy...

Improved Sound Reduction with Laminated Glass

Growing concern over detrimental noise in densely populated areas has called for improvements in the sound insulation of our building spaces. While laminated safety glass has been optimized for safety and security and offers effective screening of UV-radiation as an additional benefit, its acoustic performance – although superior to monolithic glass – has not been given full consideration in th...
