nanocomposites made of carbon nanotube (cnt) bundles have attracted researchers’ attention due to their unusual properties such as: light weight, flexibility and stiffness.  in this paper, the effects of straight and rope-shaped bundles on nanocomposite effective mechanical properties are investigated.  first, fea models are created consisting of cnts with different shapes of straight and rope-...

Carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced Cu matrix (CNT/Cu) nanocomposites are fabricated by a novel fabrication process, named as molecular evel process, which involves suspending CNTs in solvent by surface functionalization, mixing Cu ions with CNT suspension, drying, calcination nd reduction. The molecular level process produces CNT/Cu nanocomposite powders, in which the CNTs are homogeneously impla...

Low-shrinkage resin-based photocurable liquid crystalline epoxy nanocomposite has been investigated with regard to its application as a dental restoration material. The nanocomposite consists of an organic matrix and an inorganic reinforcing filler. The organic matrix is made of liquid crystalline biphenyl epoxy resin (BP), an epoxy resin consisting of cyclohexylmethyl-3,4-epoxycyclohexanecarbo...

polyurethane/zeolite 13x nanocomposite films were fabricated using solution casting method. the synthesized nanocomposite films were structurally characterized using sem, tga and tensile analysis. sem images showed appropriate distribution of nanocrystalline zeolite particles within polyurethane matrix. better thermal stability of nanocomposite films in comparison to neat polyurethane was shown...

Nb-B-Al-O nanocomposite films with different power of Al2O3 were successfully deposited on the Si substrate via multi-target magnetron co-sputtering method. The influences of Al2O3's content on structure and properties of obtained nanocomposite films through controlling Al2O3's power were investigated. Increasing the power of Al2O3 can influence the bombarding energy and cause the momentum tran...

The scientific importance of nanocomposites are being increased due to their improvedproperties. This paper is divided into two parts. First, Al-Al2O3 nanocomposite wasproduced by using ball milling technique followed by cold compaction and sintering.Microstructure and morphology studies were done through SEM, TEM, and EDX anal-ysis on the produced powder. The mechanical properties of the produ...

This article contains the dataset referring to the article "Study of the effect of the dispersion of functionalized nanoparticles TiO2 with photocatalytic activity in LDPE" (Jahell et al., 2016) [1]. It includes the FT-IR data of the functionalized nanoparticles of TiO2 with Hexadecyltrimethoxysilane in different degrees of functionalization, thermogravimetric analysis, distribution and particl...

In this work, Al-B₄C nanocomposites were produced by microwave sintering and followed by hot extrusion processes. The influence of ceramic reinforcement (B₄C) nanoparticles on the physical, microstructural, mechanical, and thermal characteristics of the extruded Al-B₄C nanocomposites was investigated. It was observed that the density decreased and porosity increased with an increase in B₄C cont...

We used molecular dynamics simulations based on a potential model in analogy to the Tight Binding scheme in the Second Moment Approximation to simulate the effects of aluminum icosahedral grains (dispersoids) on the structure and the mechanical properties of an aluminum matrix. First we validated our model by calculating several thermodynamic properties referring to the bulk Al case and we foun...
