Journal ArticleDOI
Cellulose microfibrils: A novel method of preparation using high shear refining and cryocrushing
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a technique to produce cellulose microfibrils through mechanical methods, which involved a combination of severe shearing in a refiner, followed by high-impact crushing under liquid nitrogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of the crystallinity and morphology on the microcellular foam structure of semicrystalline polymers
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the crystallinity and morphology of semicrystalline polymers on the microcellular foam processing and on the cellular structure of products are investigated, and the experimental results agree with theoretical predictions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting the elastic modulus of natural fibre reinforced thermoplastics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Young's modulus of natural fibres for changes in moisture content and density that occur as a result of processing and found that the Halpin-Tsai equation predicted the experimental data most accurately for the NFRT created for this study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Processing and characterization of microcellular foamed high-density polythylene/isotactic polypropylene blends
TL;DR: In this article, a study on batch processing and characterization of microcellular foamed high-density polyethylene (HDPE/iPP) blends is reported, where blends of HDPE and iPP were used to produce materials with variety of crystalline and phase morphologies to enhance the subsequent microcellularity foaming.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting the tensile strength of natural fibre reinforced thermoplastics
TL;DR: The tensile strength of short natural fiber reinforced thermoplastics (NFRT) was modeled using a modified rule of mixtures (ROM) strength equation in this article.
