Role of chemically modified carbon black surfaces in enhancing interfacial adhesion between carbon black and rubber in a composite system
Soo-Jin Park,Jeong-Soon Kim +1 more
TL;DR: Results from the surface energetics and parameter of polymer-filler interaction (chi) showed that the tearing energy of the composites is greatly dependent on the carbon blacks studied in the treatment, and an interpretation based on the nitrogen amount adsorbed for filling a monolayer was proposed for the determination of the Gibbs free energy of nitrogen adsorption.

Characterization of HTPB-based solid fuel formulations: Performance, mechanical properties, and pollution
Luigi T. DeLuca,Luciano Galfetti,Filippo Maggi,G. Colombo,L. Merotto,M. Boiocchi,Christian Paravan,A. Reina,P. Tadini,Luciano Fanton +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the HTPB polymer has been taken as a baseline and characterized at laboratory level in terms of ballistic properties, mechanical testing, and thermochemical calculations, and a series of proprietary techniques to evaluate, on a relative grading, the quality of innovative solid fuels while visualizing at the same time their flame structure.

Effect of organoclay structure on morphology and properties of nanocomposites based on an amorphous polyamide
Youngjae Yoo,Donald R Paul +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an amorphous polyamide (a-PA) and three organoclays, M 3 (HT) 1, M 2(HT) 2 and (HE) 2 M 1 T 1, were melt processed to explore the effect of the organoclay structure on the extent of exfoliation and properties of these nanocomposites.
