Banana fiber (BaF)-filled composites based on high density polyethylene (HDPE)/Nylon-6 blends were prepared via a two-step extrusion method. Maleic anhydride grafted styrene/ethylene-butylene/styrene triblock polymer (SEBS-g-MA) and maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (PE-g-MA) were used to enhance impact performance and interfacial bonding between BaF and the resins. Mechanical, crystallizat...

A lignin-epoxy resin composite was prepared by blending lignin/wood flour with an epoxy resin and polyamine. The effects of the wood flour on the mechanical, thermal creep, and creep recovery properties, as well as the microstructure of the composite, were studied. Among the mechanical properties, the initial modulus increased with increasing content of wood flour. The glass transition temperat...

2010 KTH accounts for one-third of Sweden's technical research and engineering education capacity at university level. Education and research cover a broad spectrum – from natural sciences to all the branches of engineering. Part of this work was performed a Innventia AB. Innventia AB is a world leader in research and development relating to pulp, paper, graphic media, packaging and biorefining...

Composites were fabricated by infiltration of molten Al–13Si–9Mg into porous SiC derived from wood. The composite microstructure retains the heterogeneous orthorhombic symmetry of the initial wood material. As compared to the uninfiltrated SiC preform, the composite shows much improved transverse compressive strength and stiffness, resulting in reduced anisotropy. 2006 Acta Materialia Inc. Publ...

Kasus COVID-19 hingga saat ini terus mengalami peningkatan, terlalu banyaknya pasien yang membutuhkan perawatan intensif mengakibatkan rumah sakit kondisi overloaded capacity. Dalam rangka meminimalisir adanya rawat mandiri dan berisiko cluster keluarga, maka pemanfaatan container menjadi ruang isolasi apung sebagai alternatif bagi masyarakat untuk mendapat penanganan COVID-19. Pemanfaatan beka...

The focus of this research work is to study the effect hybrid fillers bamboo fiber and commercial glass on high density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix without interfacial coupling agent. composite was formed through melt blending method using two-roll mixing mill at temperature 160 oC shaped compression molding machine. highest value Tensile Modulus break Hardness were obtained ratio 70 % HDPE/ 15 ...

This paper presents the development of wood flour (WF)-filled polylactic acid (PLA) composite filaments for a fused deposition modeling (FDM) process with the aim of application to 3D printing. The composite filament consists of wood flour (5 wt %) in a PLA matrix. The detailed formulation and characterization of the composite filament were investigated experimentally, including tensile propert...
