The incorporation of residues as reinforcing fillers in polymer composites has emerged as a viable solution, enabling improvements in the mechanical properties of these materials, and has also resulted in a reduction in ...

Recycling of thermoplastic wastes consisting using SEBS/EPR and SBR/EPR as compatibilizers. The effect of PE/PP/PS/HIPS blends was investigated by The effect of the binary compatibilizer systems and processing conditions ...

Reinforced thermoplastic structural detail parts and assemblies are being developed to be included in current aeronautic programs. Thermoplastic composite technology intends to achieve improved properties and low cost ...

Nanocellulose was successfully synthetized from microcrystalline cellulose by an acid hydrolysis process. The sample characterization was performed employing X-ray diffraction, zeta potential and confocal Raman microscopy. ...

Thermoplastic starch (TPS)/polycaprolactone(PCL) blends were obtained by melt mixing. First, thebest formulation of thermoplastic starch (starch, plasticizerand additives) was studied. The obtained filmswere characterized ...

Carbon-carbon composites (C/C) are those that have carbonaceous matrix reinforced with carbon fiber. They are widely used in the aerospace field, due mainly to the properties such as low density, high stiffness, and excellent ...

A simple method based on the combination of the intercalation from solution and melt-processing preparation methods was used to prepare highly exfoliated and compatible thermoplastic starch (TPS) and montmorillonite clay ...
