Journal ArticleDOI
Cellulose micro/nanocrystals reinforced polyurethane
TL;DR: In this paper, nano-and micron-sized cellulose crystals were prepared and utilized as reinforcements for polyurethane composites, and the results indicated that a strong filler-matrix interaction was developed during curing as a result of a chemical reaction occurring between the crystals and the isocyanate component.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and Characterization of a Single-Component Thermally Remendable Polymer Network: Staudinger and Stille Revisited
TL;DR: In this paper, a dicyclopentadiene core which acts as both diene and dienophile in the Diels−Alder (r-DA) cycloaddition reaction has been developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of nanocellulose‐ reinforced shape memory polyurethanes
TL;DR: In this paper, composites were prepared by casting stable nanocellulose/segmented polyurethane suspensions, which showed higher tensile modulus and strength than unfilled films with higher elongation at break.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short-fiber-reinforced epoxy foams
TL;DR: In this paper, fiber-reinforced epoxy foams were synthesized with chopped glass and aramid fibers and the influence of fiber loading and length was investigated in order to optimize the properties of these materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flammability properties and mechanical performance of epoxy modified phenolic foams
TL;DR: In this article, the properties of epoxy-phenolic foams were analyzed and compared with conventional phenolic foam, showing significant improvement in mechanical performance, lower friability and similar resistance to flame.
