Effect of the individual and combined use of cardanol-based plasticizers and epoxidized soybean oil on the properties of PVC
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal decomposition temperatures of cardanol derivatives were higher than that of the common petroleum-based plasticizer di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DOP) in the order ECA>CA>DOP.

A Rapid Method of Measuring the Glass Transition Temperature Using a Novel Dynamic Mechanical Analysis Method
TL;DR: In this article, a method of measuring the glass transition temperature, by dynamic mechanical analysis, was described, which can be obtained by determining the temperature at which the peak value of damping is observed.

Thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (Rodrun LC5000)/polypropylene in situ composite films: rheology, morphology, molecular orientation and tensile properties
Sayant Saengsuwan,Sayant Saengsuwan,Sauvarop Bualek-Limcharoen,Geoffrey R. Mitchell,Robert H. Olley +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, in situ composite films were prepared by a two-step method, where polypropylene and thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (TLCP) were melt blended in a twin-screw extruder and then fabricated by extrusion through a mini-extruder as cast film.

Mechanical properties of epoxy composites reinforced with a low volume fraction of nanosilica fillers
TL;DR: In this article, the preparation and mechanical properties of the nanosilica-reinforced, epoxy resin Epikote 828LVEL were investigated, and a three-point bending test revealed a 10-20% increase in the composite's modulus of elasticity with 30-nm and 130-nm silica-filler inclusions.
