The potential of pulp fiberreinforced thermoplastics is currently not fully explored in composites. One of the main reasons is that pulp fibers are extracted for the use in papermaking and are thus not optimized for use as reinforcements in thermoplastics ...
The crystallization kinetics of polyamide-12 has been investigated using a combination of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and hot-stage optical microscopy. The DSC data for isothermal crystallization were consistent with a simple two-parameter Avra ...
The aim of the present research has been to quantify the influence of different materials on the global dynamic response of a ski. The properties of the individual constituent materials were characterized as a function of temperature and frequency using dy ...
The mechanisms of deformation and failure in Al-Si nanocomposites, formed by adding Si particles to Al nanocrystalline materials, are investigated using molecular dynamics. The deformation and fracture mechanisms are found to be different in the Al-Si comp ...
We have fabricated and tested infrared scanning near-field optical microscope (IR-SNOM) probe tips made from singlemode chalcogenide fiber. The process used to create the tips was similar to conventional micropipette-puller techniques, with some modificati ...
The aim of this thesis is to assess the feasibility of integrating nanoparticles into glass fiber (GF) reinforced isotactic polypropylene (iPP) composites via existing thermoplastic processing routes, and to investigate whether this results in significant ...
The kinetics of the polycondensation of a fully arom. polyester was studied. The mass-loss curves examd. with a thermogravimetric balance were analyzed on the basis of a kinetic model. Under the exptl. conditions used the polycondensation of 4-acetoxybenzo ...
Predictions of the ultimate tensile strength of 3-dimensional fiber-reinforced composites as a function of the fiber statistical strength distribution and fiber geometry (square vs. hexagonal packing) are presented for materials in which the load transfer ...
