Theoretical modelling of tensile properties of short sisal fibre-reinforced low-density polyethylene composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the experimentally observed tensile properties (tensile strength and modulus) of short sisal fiber-reinforced LDPE with different fibre loading have been compared with the existing theories of reinforcement.

Processing and mechanical properties of HA/UHMWPE nanocomposites.
Liming Fang,Yang Leng,Ping Gao +2 more
TL;DR: A hydroxyapatite (HA) particulate reinforced ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW PE) nanocomposite was fabricated by compounding HA and UHMWPE mixtures in paraffin oil using twin-screw extrusion and then compression molding to maintain the excellent toughness feature of UH MWPE.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic oscillatory shear testing of foods — selected applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the viscoelastic properties of materials are determined by transient or dynamic methods, such as stress relaxation and creep, and that the material response cannot be determined as a function of frequency.

Effect of silica nanoparticle size on toughening mechanisms of filled epoxy
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of silica nanoparticles and particle size on glass transition temperature (T g ), coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), Young's modulus (E ), yield stress ( σ ), fracture energy (G IC ), and fracture toughness (K IC ), were investigated.

"Artificial lotus leaf" prepared using a 1945 patent and a commercial textile
Lichao Gao,Thomas J. McCarthy +1 more
TL;DR: Two polyester textiles, conventional polyester and microfiber polyester fabrics, were hydrophobized using a simple, patented water-repellent silicone coating procedure, promoting water repellency that is superior to that of the lotus leaf.
