Fabrication and mechanical properties of PLLA/PCL/HA composites via a biomimetic, dip coating, and hot compression procedure

TL;DR: This study prepared poly(l-lactic acid)/hydroxyapatite/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PLLA/HA/PCL) composites via a four-step process, which successfully produced composites with flexural moduli near the lower range of bone.

Mechanical behavior of woven natural fiber fabric composites: Effect of weaving architecture, intra-ply hybridization and stacking sequence of fabrics

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive analysis of the mechanical and free vibration properties of woven natural fiber polymer composites is presented, with three different weave types (plain, bas baselines, and baselines).

Poly(ethylene terephthalate)/polypropylene reactive blends through isocyanate functional group

TL;DR: In this article, the compatibilization effects of an isocyanate group on poly(ethylene terephthalate)/polypropylene (PET/PP) blends through a reactive blend, PP grafted with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-isophorone diisocyanates (PP-g-HI) was prepared and blended with PET.

Novel film modifiers to alter the physical properties of composite ethylcellulose films.

TL;DR: Significant reduction and change in film transparency and morphology was obtained for EC films blended with PVP of higher molecular weight (MW), and the composite EC films showed higher Tg, greater elastic modulus, tensile and puncture strength depending on the concentration and type of additives present.

Uniaxial elongation of deswollen polydimethylsiloxane networks with supercoiled structure

TL;DR: In this article, the fractal dimension of the supercoiled structure has been estimated to be D = 2.5 from the dependence of stress on the elongation ratio λ on the basis of the Pincus blob.
