Internal combustion engines have been widely used for past 100 years. In the development of engine components a number of special techniques are used to compact the hostile operating environment, which usually includes ...

In this study, the tribological performance of poly-ether-ketone (PEEK), ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), glass fiber reinforced poly-tetra-fluoro-ethylene (PTFE) and PTFE reinforced poly-ether-imide (PEI) ...

In this study, the performance of boric acid (H3BO3)-filled polyamide composites were studied and evaluated at dry-sliding friction conditions. Wear tests were carried out using configuration of composite pin on a rotating ...

In this study, the use of nanocomposite polyethylene films to extend shelf life of food products and to enhance its barrier and mechanical properties was investigated. Nanocomposite was designated 80% wt LLDPE, 14.28% wt ...

In general addition compounds are added to polymers to design composite materials with improved properties and to lower the overall production cost. In this investigation, the influence of adding inorganic mineral fillers ...

In this study, the influence of wax content on the electrical, thermal and tribological properties of a polyamide 6 composite filled with 15% wt. graphite was investigated. The wax filler contents of the composite were by ...

Particulate reinforced thermoplastic composites are designed to improve the properties and to lower the overall cost of engineering plastics. In this study, the influence of adding talc and kaolin fillers on the mechanical ...

In recent years, the use of filler materials, such as red mud, in composites has increased. In this study, the use of industrial waste red mud as a filler material in an isotactic polypropylene (iPP) polymer-matrix composite ...

As an alternative to oil based materials, there is a demand for easily degradable packaging materials. With this regard, the objective of this study is to produce bilayer nanofiber sheets composed of Poly (lactic acid) ...
