PMMA-based composite materials with reactive ceramic fillers: IV. Radiopacifying particles embedded in PMMA beads for acrylic bone cements.

TL;DR: New acrylic bone cements were prepared from alumina particles previously treated by 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylmethacrylate (gamma-MPS) and embedded in poly(methylmethACrylate-co-ethylacrylated) beads with about 7 mol% of ethyl acrylate repeating units, interpreted in terms of alumina arrangement in the cement.

Rigid particle toughening of aliphatic polyketone

TL;DR: The influence of precipitated calcium carbonate particles on the toughening behavior of aliphatic polyketone has been studied in this article, where the impact energy at room temperature was increased from 10 to 80 kJ/m2 and the brittle-to-ductile transition temperature was lowered to 80 C.

Effect of moisture absorption on the micromechanical behavior of carbon fiber/epoxy matrix composites

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the fiber fragment lengths and indentify failure mechanism at the interface optical observation and acoustic emission technique were used to determine the interfacial shear strength between the fiber and the matrix.

Thermal Characterization of Citric Acid Solid Dispersions with Benzoic Acid and Phenobarbital

TL;DR: Benzoic acid addition to citric acid glass decreased itsGlass transition temperature while phenobarbital addition increased its glass transition temperature, the latter forming a glass solution.

Mesoscopic Structure and Properties of Liquid Crystalline Mesophase Pitch and Its Transformation into Carbon Fiber

TL;DR: The history and present state of the art in the chemistry of mesophase pitch, which is an important precursor for carbon fiber and other high-performance industrial carbons, are reviewed relative to their structural properties.
