Experimental and theoretical analyses of mechanical properties of PP/PLA/clay nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of nanoclays and n-butyl acrylate glycidyl methacrylate ethylene terpolymers (PTW) as compatibilizer on mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP) and poly(lactic acid) nanocomposites was investigated and correlated with their microstructures.

Cryogenic Processing: A Study of Materials at Low Temperatures
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of Cryogenic treatment on some metals, alloys, plastics and composites is reviewed, and the authors have shown that Cryogenic refines and stabilizes the crystal lattice structure and distribute carbon particles throughout the material resulting a stronger and hence more durable material.

Tensile properties of wood flour/kenaf fiber polypropylene hybrid composites
TL;DR: In this article, the hybrid composites of wood flour/kenaf fiber and polypropylene were prepared at a fixed fiber to plastic ratio of 40 : 60 and variable ratios of the two reinforcements namely 40 : 0, 30 : 10, 20 : 20, 10 : 30, and 0 : 40 by weight.

Viscoelastic and thermal properties of collagen/poly(vinyl alcohol) blends
TL;DR: Though thermodynamically immiscible with both native and denatured collagen, PVA forms mechanically compatible blends with collagen and gelatin, finding that at T > Tg (PVA) the elastic modulus (E') of the blends strongly increases with increasing content of the biopolymer.

Monitoring the Cure State of Thermosetting Resins by Ultrasound
TL;DR: The paper highlights the reliability of ultrasonic wave propagation for monitoring the physical changes taking place during curing and the potential for online monitoring during polymer and polymer matrix composite processing.
