Nanosized metal oxides dispersed polymer composites constitute a fascinating class of polymer composite materials. Synthesis of such composite materials through solvent casting enhances the polymer synthetic technology. Solvent casting method was used to prepare Cobalt oxide (Co3O4) dispersed Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nano composite<span style="text-decoration: und...

Abstract Ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) consist of an electroactive polymeric membrane, which is plated with electrodes and includes a fluid phase ions in solvent, whose diffusion allows for actuation sensing applications. We build on previous finite-deformation theory our group that accounts the cross-diffusion solvent couples mass balances these species stress balance Gauss law. Here,...

Monitoring the content of dissolved ozone in purified water is often mandatory to ensure appropriate levels disinfection and sanitization. However, quantification bears challenges as colorimetric assays require laborious off-line analysis, while commercially available instruments for electrochemical process analysis are expensive lack possibility miniaturization discretionary installation. In t...

Incorporating moldability considerations during the design of thermally enhanced polymer heat exchangers. Recently, available formulations of thermally enhanced polymer composites are attractive in heat exchanger applications due to their low cost and improved corrosion resistance compared to the conventional metal options. This paper presents a systematic approach to the design of plate-fin he...

Inorganic nanometer-sized particles (nanoparticles) are attracting attention as reinforcing fillers for use in polymer-nanoparticle composites (nanocomposites) because they improve key characteristics of these composites at a relatively low content (Hussain et al., 2006, Jordan et al., 2005). For example, clay nanoparticles (Usuki et al, 2005), metal oxide nanoparticles such as silica (Rosso et...

The idea of using composite in bone implant came since 1980 . Considering the observed problems and failures from the previous materials, using composite materials with higher strength and stiffness and more similarity to natural bone had started to develop. In medical composites at least one of the constituent materials should be bioactive (metal-polymer or ceramic). The name of composites is ...

Abstract In recent years, electroactive paper emerged as a new alternative in the field of smart actuators. It is based on cellulose material which able to bend under influence an external electric similarly ionic polymer metal composites. The bending mechanism mainly attributed migration charges over thickness thin sheet paper. present contribution proposes numerical framework for simulation s...

We present a multi-scale approach to modeling the electro-mechanical behavior of ionic polymers. We start with a detailed elasto-electro-chemical model which allows for nite deformation. We reduce it to one space dimension appropriate for the commonly used sheet con guration, and demonstrate that steady state solutions display an important boundary layer e ect. We conclude with a macroscopic mo...

In this study, discrepancies between the free vibration of fiber-metal laminate (FML) and composite cylindrical shells reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) based on Love’s first approximation shell theory have been considered by beam modal function model. The representative volume elements consist of three and four phases for composite and FML structures, respectively, which include fiber, CNT...
