Improving the Creep Stability of High-Density Polyethylene with Acicular Titania Nanoparticles
TL;DR: In this paper, surface-functionalized titania nanoparticles were surface functionalized with octadecylsilane to obtain an organo- philic surface, which induced a substantial reduction of the creep compliance of the HDPE matrix and of its creep rate, especially at long loading times.

Analysis of Dry Sliding Wear Behaviour of Rice Husk Filled Epoxy Composites Using Design of Experiment and ANN
Arun Kumar Rout,Alok Satapathy +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used to simulate a wide variety of complex nonlinear engineering problems such as tribological performance of polymer composites, such as sliding wear performance of a new class of epoxy based composites filled with rice husk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyclic creep and creep-fatigue interaction in sandwich beams
TL;DR: In this paper, a cyclic creep model is developed in order to investigate the effect of cyclic deformation on a response containing elements of fatigue and creep, and a simple linear damage rule separating the creep and fatigue components for the chosen cyclic waveform is used to quantify the relative influence of both components on the lifetime of the structure.

Micromechanically-based effective thermal conductivity estimates for polymer nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, the Effective Continuum Micromechanics Analysis Code was modified to predict the effective thermal conductivities of composites containing multiple distinct nanoheterogeneities (fibers, spheres, platelets, voids, etc.) each with an arbitrary number of coating layers based upon either the modified Mori-Tanaka or modified self-consistent methods for steady state heat conduction.

UV-cured epoxy coating reinforced with sepiolite as inorganic filler
TL;DR: In this article, an increase in epoxy group conversion was achieved in the presence of the inorganic filler, due to the strong interactions between the high density of silanol groups present on the sepiolite surface and the carbocationic growing chain.
