Medical devices can be contaminated by microbial biofilm which causes nosocomial infections. One of the strategies for the prevention of such microbial adhesion is to modify the biomaterials by creating micro or nanofeatures on their surface. This study aimed (1) to nanostructure acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), a polymer composing connectors in perfusion devices, using Anodic Alumina Oxi...

INTRODUCTION Hearing protection devices are one of the primary noise reduction tools in developing countries. This study is intended to produce and apply acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)/clay nanocomposites to fabricate a laboratory single cup earmuffs and then compare it with double cup and single cup pure ABS earmuffs in terms of noise attenuation performance and comfort. In addition, th...

ethylene bis-stearamide is one of the important acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene ()abs)( polymer additives, which is used as lubricant, slip agent and mold release agent. in this research, ethylene bis-stearamide for abs application was synthesized using stearic acid and ethylene diamine under reflux condition. refluxing prevented ethylenediamine from evaporation and thus the initial molar ratio...

bismuth sulfide nano-rods and nano-flowers were synthesized via a hydrothermal reaction at a relatively low temperature. thioglycolic acid is used as sulfur source and capping agent simultaneously. bi2s3 nanostructures were then added to acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (abs) copolymer. the thermal stability behavior of abs filled with bismuth sulfide nano-rods were investigated by thermogravime...

Abstract Nanocomposites based on acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) and ethylene–proplene diene monomer (EPDM) (50/50) filled with different concentrations of nano-waste magnetic filler (nWMF) up to 120 phr were prepared by two laboratory roll mill mixer. nWMF was characterized using XRD, TEM VSM. The nanocomposites investigated techniques: SEM, TGA, DSC. In addition the rheological, mechanic...

This paper presents a study of dynamic mechanical properties of Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) rapid prototyping processed material Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). It involves the measurement of modulus and damping properties of the material as it is deformed under periodic stress. In this study, frequency sweep is performed in DMA 2980 equipment to determine modulus, damping and visco...
