Physical characterization of polycaprolactone scaffolds

TL;DR: The porosity, crystallinity, and mechanical properties of the samples were studied and variations observed in the results of the different scans were attributed to the differences in porosity and crystallinity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improvement of tensile properties and toughness of an epoxy resin by nanozirconium-dioxide reinforcement

TL;DR: In this article, a series of composites with varying amounts of nanoparticles was prepared and their morphology and mechanical properties were studied by tensile tests, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, and fracture toughness (KIC) investigations; by standardized methods, to define the influence of the nanoparticle content on their mechanical and thermal properties.

Development and characterization of epoxy nanocomposites based on nano-structured oil palm ash

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of filler loading percentage on physical, mechanical, thermal and morphology properties of the epoxy nanocomposites were studied and it was concluded that the size of the OPA had been successfully reduced from macromolecular to the nano-size range by high energy ball milling and was confirmed by TEM analysis.
