Effect of material and process variables on the performance of resin-transfer-molded epoxy fabric composites

TL;DR: The effects of material and process variables on glass fabric-reinforced epoxy composites by the resin-transfer molding (RTM) process were studied and it was found that the molded aged resin with 55% fiber exhibited twice the mold-filling time and caused a 7-15% deterioration in the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and flexural strength of the composites as compared to those of the Composites molded with fresh resin.

Special Resins for Stereolithography: In Situ Generation of Silver Nanoparticles.

TL;DR: The simultaneous photo-induced cross-linking of the acrylic resin produces a filled thermoset resin with thermal-mechanical properties significantly enhanced with respect to the unfilled resin, even at very low AgNPs concentrations.

Mechanical properties of blends of maleated ethylene–propylene rubber and nylon 6

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of nylon 6 content and crystallinity of the maleated rubber on morphological, thermal and mechanical properties of these blends were investigated and the results showed that rubber with high ethylene crystallinity gave better agreement with the model than those based on amorphous rubber.

Effect of titanate coupling agent on the mechanical, thermal, dielectric, rheological, and morphological properties of filled nylon 6

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of a coupling agent, tetra isopropyl titanate (TPT), on the properties of flyash filled nylon 6 was investigated and it was observed that tensile strength, impact strength, and heat distortion temperature improved with the addition of TPT as compared to without the coupling agent.

Tensile stress relaxation of short‐coir‐fiber‐reinforced natural rubber composites

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the stress relaxation behavior of natural rubber and its composites reinforced with short coir fibers under tension, and found that fiber-rubber adhesion was best in the composite containing fibers subjected to a chemical treatment with alkali, toluene diisocyanate, and NR solutions along with a hexaresorcinol system as a bonding agent.
