nanoclay/triphenyl phosphate hybrid system was employed to examine the fire retardancy and mechanical properties of pc/abs blends. each of the polymers and their blends are widely used in the automotive, electrical andelectronic industries. because most thermoplastics are easily combustible they need to be flame retarded to reduce the burning rate especially in the initial phase of a fire incid...

Owing to a higher melt viscosity compared to the thermoset plastics the impregnation of the textile reinforcement structure with a thermoplastic matrix is significantly difficult. Commingled hybrid yarns produced on the basis of air-jet texturing technique have the potential for a homogeneous distribution of reinforcement and matrix filaments over the yarn cross section. The so achieved very sh...

A novel, efficient and green MOFs-templated sulfidation route has been developed to synthesize Cu(1.96)S-C hybrid composites, in which ultrafine Cu(1.96)S nanoparticles are embedded uniformly within porous carbon octahedra. The as-synthesized composites exhibit high specific capacitance and good cycling performance in supercapacitors.

statement of problem: tooth-coloured restorative materials are brittle with the major shortcomings of sensitivity to flaws and defects. although various mechanical properties of resin composites have been studied, no fracture toughness test data for nano-hybrid composites under acidic condition for a long period of time has been published. objectives: to compare the fracture toughness (k ic ) o...

Expanded graphite (EG) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) based hybrid nano-composites were prepared with polyamide 6 (PA6) matrix via melt-mixing technique using a conical twin-screw micro-compounder. A novel organic modifier (lithium salt of 6-aminohexanoic acid; Li-AHA) was employed to modify MWNTs, which was utilized to intercalate Li-AHA modified MWNTs into the partially exfoliated E...

reasons for the limited lifespan of those restorations.2-5 Predominantly in recent years, these inadequacies have been greatly reduced through further developments in the materials of the composite and adhesive systems.6 Nevertheless, the negative effects of polymerisation shrinkage – such as poor marginal integrity, insufficient adherence to the cavity walls or cusp deflections – still represe...

Conductive films that are both stretchable and flexible could have applications in electronic devices, sensors, actuators and speakers. A substantial amount of research has been carried out on conductive polymer composites, metal electrode-integrated rubber substrates and materials based on carbon nanotubes and graphene. Here we present highly conductive, printable and stretchable hybrid compos...

A study was carried out involving the filling of epoxy resin (EP) with bentonites and silica modified with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS). The method of homogenization and the type of filler affect the functional and canceling properties of the composites was determined. The filler content ranged from 1.5% to 4.5% by mass. The basic mechanical properties of the hybrid composites we...
