Characterisation of interphase nanoscale property variations in glass fibre reinforced polypropylene and epoxy resin composites
Shang-Lin Gao,Edith Mäder +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a comparative study of the sized fiber surface topography and modulus as well as the local mechanical property variation in the interphase of E-glass fibre reinforced epoxy resin and Eglass fiber reinforced modified polypropylene (PPm) matrix composites was conducted.

Structure and properties of polyurethane–silica nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, a control series with the same concentrations of micron-size silica filler was prepared with different concentrations of nanofiller, giving composites with the polyurethane that were transparent at all concentrations.

Thermal, mechanical and electrical properties of copper powder filled low-density and linear low-density polyethylene composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the melting enthalpy results of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and linear low density polyethylenes (LLDPE), with different copper contents were prepared by melt mixing and the copper powder particle distributions were found to be relatively uniform at both low and high copper contents.

Scratching maps for polymers
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the application of scratch maps for polymers is presented, where the scratch hardness and deformation mechanisms for a poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA), a poly (tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE), and an ultra-high molecular weight poly(ethylene), as well as the deformation mechanism is determined by the most efficient energy dissipation process for particular external constraints.
