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...

TiO2 nano-particles were used in electroless plating bath to obtain Ni/P/nano-composite coatings. The coatings were heat treated at 200, 400, 600 and 700 oC and their chemical and physical properties were investigated and it was found that 400 oC was the optimum temperature for the heat treatment of the coatings. The micro-hardness test of coatings showed that t...
