Dynamic Mechanical Analysis of Fly Ash Filled Polyurea Elastomer
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the fly ash volume fraction on the composite's mechanical properties was studied, i.e., on the material's frequency and temperature-dependent storage and loss moduli.

Rheological behaviour of a commercial TGDDM-DDS based epoxy matrix during the isothermal cure
TL;DR: In this paper, the change of the viscosity profile during the isothermal cure of a commercially available epoxy system commonly used as a matrix for high performance composites, TGDDM-DDS from CIBA, has been obtained by means of both a constant shear rate viscometer and a dynamic one.

Time-dependent mechanical properties of polymeric coatings used in rupturable pulsatile release dosage forms.
TL;DR: The mechanical properties of polymer films used in pharmaceutical coatings of pulsatile drug delivery systems were evaluated in the dry and the wet state by a newly developed puncture test, which allowed the time-dependent measurement of the mechanical properties on the same film specimen.

Improvement of mechanical and biological properties of freeze-dried denitrifying alginate beads by using starch as a filler and carbon source
TL;DR: In this paper, freeze-dried, alginate-based beads, used for the immobilization of a denitrifying bacterium (Pseudomonas sp.), were filled with different concentrations (10, 20, 30% and 40%, w/w) of granular starch.

Epoxy/alumina nanoparticle composites. II. Influence of silane coupling agent treatment on mechanical performance and wear resistance
Elena Vassileva,Klaus Friedrich +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, two silane coupling agents (SCAs) were used to treat alumina nanoparticles to improve nanoparticle dispersion into the polymer matrix, which resulted in improved flexural strength, strain, and especially, wear resistance.
