Poly(glycerol sebacate) (PGS) is an elastomeric polymer which is attracting increasing interest for biomedical applications, including cartilage regeneration. However, its limited mechanical properties and possible negative effects of its degradation byproducts restrict PGS for in vivo application. In this study, a novel PGS-bioactive glass fiber (F18)-reinforced composite was developed and cha...

This study investigated the residual tensile properties of plain woven jute fiber reinforced poly(lactic acid) (PLA) during thermal cycling. Temperature ranges of thermal cycling tests were 35-45 °C and 35-55 °C. The maximum number of cycles was 10³ cycles. The quasi-static tensile tests of jute fiber, PLA, and composite were conducted after thermal cycling tests. Thermal mechanical analyses of...

In recent years, various new and practical products have emerged thanks to rapidly developing science technology meet human needs expectations. A variety of these are materials known as composites. The use composites is also increasing, from the aircraft industry automobile industry, other areas such sports equipment, infrastructures. goal this research present a hybrid composite material that ...

Machining of glass fiber reinforced plastic composite materials is an active area of research in current manufacturing processes. Achieving an improved surface finish is of high priority while machining the polymer based plastics composites due to the poor machinability of glass fibers. The present work deals with the study and development of a surface roughness prediction model for machining u...

the idea of combining low weight and good mechanical properties has led to efforts to develop a new light fiber/metal laminate (fml) in the last decade. fmls are hybrid composites consisting of alternating thin layers of metal sheets and fiber-reinforced epoxy prepregs. in this study, the effect of fiber orientation on tensile properties of this material is investigated both analytically and ex...
