in this paper, a new method is proposed for the production of mwcnts/pvc (multi-walled carbon nanotubes/ polyvinyl chloride) nanocomposites. in this method, a spray is used to produce layers of carbon nanotubes within a pvc matrix. various parameters influence the production of the nanocomposite and its mechanical properties. these parameters are studied separately and the effect of each of par...

nanocomposites based on polyamide 6/polypropylene  )pa6/pp 67/33) blend containing 2.5 to 10 phr of nano-caco3  and 5 phr of maleated polypropylene )pp-g-mah) as compatibilizer were prepared by melt compounding followed by injection molding. the mechanical properties, water absorption, as well as shrinkage behavior were characterized and the morphology was studied using scanning electron micros...

nanoclay/triphenyl phosphate hybrid system was employed to examine the fire retardancy and mechanical properties of pc/abs blends. each of the polymers and their blends are widely used in the automotive, electrical andelectronic industries. because most thermoplastics are easily combustible they need to be flame retarded to reduce the burning rate especially in the initial phase of a fire incid...

this work investigates the feasibility of using recycled high density polyethylene (rhdpe), recycled polypropylene (rpp) and old newsprint fiber (onp) to manufacture fiber reinforced composites. the boards were made through air-forming and hot press. the effects of the fiber loading and coupling agent content on tensile, flexural, internal bond properties and water absorption and thickness swel...

the aim of this study was to evaluate sound and decayed wood of iranianbeech (fagus orientalis) with a nondestructive stress wave method. wood samples,with dimensions of 9 by 19 by 200 mm were decayed in laboratory soil-bed tests,based on european pre-standard env-807. the decay was evaluated by measuringbending dynamic modulus of elasticity (moed) and longitudinal dynamicmodulus of elasticity ...

in order to improve particle properties, new processes combining granulation and crystallization are being developed. this work deals with the spherical crystallization process by the quasi-emulsion mechanism applied to carbamazepine, a pharmaceutical drug. the aim of the present study was to produce of spherical grains made of mall crystals of a drug that have adequate properties for direct co...

According to EuroGeoSurveys, the European Geological Surveys association, “Geological spatial data and models describe the solid Earth’s surface and subsurface on-shore and off-shore, its nature, structure, properties, dynamics and evolution over time; including its related (geo)resources and (geo) hazards”. This illustrates a modern vision of the core mission that National Geological Surveys h...

statement of problem: dental resin composites are becoming prevalent in restorative dentistry and have almost replaced amalgam nowadays. consequently, their mechanical properties and durability are critical. objectives: the aim of this study was to produce pyrex glass nano-particles by wet milling process and use them as reinforcement in dental resins for anterior restorations and then examinat...

in the present study, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the dissimilar welding betweenastm a335 low alloy steel and er309l austenitic stainless steel were investigated using the gastungsten arc welding process. the welding of dissimilar materials between astm a335 low alloy steeland er309l austenitic stainless steel was found to have a significant effect on the microstructure when...

this study prepared new edible composite film by blending kefiran with whey protein. the film-forming solutions used different ratios of kefiran to whey protein (70/30, 50/50, 30/70, 10/90) and were cast at room temperature. the effects of the addition of whey protein on the physical, mechanical and water-vapor permeability (wvp) properties of the film were investigated. it was found that an in...
