B4C–Al2O3 composite powder was produced by aluminothermic reduction in Al/B2O3/C system. In this research, microwave heating technique was used to synthesize desired composite. The ball milling of powder mixtures was performed in order to study the effect of mechanical activation on the synthesis process. The synthesis mechanism in this system was investigated by examining the correspondi...

In recent times, the indiscriminate disposal of post-consumer plastic packaging material has received global attention. There is a need to develop an alternative from bio-based polymers reduce waste pollution. This work studied effects loading seaweed nanoparticles into agar matrix by analyzing physical, mechanical, water vapor barrier, and biodegradation properties, as well surface morphologic...

In this paper a composite plate with similar unidirectional fibers is considered. Assuming orthotropic structure, theory of elasticity is used for investigating the stress concentration. Also, complex variable functions are utilized for solving the plane stress problems. Then the effective characteristics of this plate are studied numerically by using ANSYS software. In this research a volume e...

A novel self-cleaning polymer composite with self-healing ability to self-repair after chemical and mechanical damage using readily available materials like polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and camphor soot particles is developed. With the optimal loading of the camphor soot particles, the composite coating on glass and stainless steel surfaces reveals self-cleaning properties with a water contact a...

th dentistry. Early 20 century sawintroduction of various newer materials like stainless steel, cobalt chromium alloys, acrylic resins(heat cure and self-cure) as DB materials.However, acrylic resin seems to be a material, which got more attention because it fulfils many of the desired properties like ease of processing, favourable working characteristics, accurate fit, stability in oral enviro...

in this study, the elemental powders of aluminum and copper were initially subjected to mechanical alloying using an attrition ball mill under argon atmosphere to produce an al-4.5 wt% cu powder alloy. the wc nanoparticles were then added to the powder alloy and milled in a planetary ball mill to explore the role of the wc nanoparticles on the mechanical properties of the fabricated composite p...

Glass fibre reinforced plastic (GFRP) is considered as structure support and insulating material for the new superconducting FAIR magnets. GFRP (G11) is a composite material consisting of woven glass fibres (volume fraction ~50 %) and cured polymer resin (e.g. amine-cured epoxy). The material will be exposed to cryogenic temperatures, high radiation levels and dynamic mechanical loads (Lorentzi...
