Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid energy-efficient manufacturing of polymers and composites via frontal polymerization
Ian D. Robertson,Mostafa Yourdkhani,Polette J. Centellas,Jia En Aw,Douglas G. Ivanoff,Elyas Goli,Evan M. Lloyd,Leon M. Dean,Nancy R. Sottos,Philippe H. Geubelle,Jeffrey S. Moore,Scott R. White +11 more
TL;DR: Frontal polymerization of dicyclopentadiene is used to generate thermoset polymers and composite materials with much lower energy requirements and cure times than are needed in conventional oven or autoclave curing approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vibrations and stability of axially traveling laminated beams
TL;DR: Vibration and stability of an axially traveling laminated composite beam are investigated analytically via the method of multiple scales and the effects of laminate type and configuration as well as the mean speed and amplitude of speed fluctuations on the vibration response, natural frequencies and stability boundaries of the system are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal, oxygen barrier and mechanical properties of polylactide–organoclay nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, two different clay concentrations (2 and 4 ¾wt.%) were considered and the morphology of the resulting nanocomposites was observed by TEM micrographs while the interaction between polymer and clay was measured by FTIR analysis and contact angle measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fully Recyclable Metastable Polymers and Composites
Evan M. Lloyd,Hector Lopez Hernandez,Hector Lopez Hernandez,Adam M. Feinberg,Mostafa Yourdkhani,Edwin K. Zen,Edgar B. Mejia,Nancy R. Sottos,Jeffrey S. Moore,Scott R. White +9 more
TL;DR: Fully-cycled depolymerization of cyclic poly(phthalaldehyde) (cPPA) yielding high performance structural polymer is demonstrated in this article, which circumvent the extreme conditions required to break down and recycle traditional thermoplastics and thermosets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative dispersion analysis of inclusions in polymer composites.
Mostafa Yourdkhani,Pascal Hubert +1 more
TL;DR: A quantitative algorithm is introduced for analyzing the dispersion of inclusions in polymer composites using image analysis and optical micrographs were utilized to examine the sensitivity of the algorithm to various dispersity scenarios such as the effect of particle size, clustering, and cluster distribution.
