This paper reviews current knowledge about the rheology and applications of highly
concentrated molten polymers, focusing on hard particles with sizes ranging from several …

There are many problems facing aircraft in the air during flight, such as lightning strikes and
ice accumulation on aircraft surfaces. These problems usually reduce aircraft efficiency and …

With applications in flexible electronics and soft robotics, the ability to fabricate elastic
functional materials with complex geometries has become highly desirable. In this work …

Nanocomposites made of polypropylene reinforced with exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets
(xGnP™), are fabricated by melt mixing, polymer solution and coating. Coating is a new …

The electrical conductivity of polymeric materials can be increased by the addition of carbon
fillers, such as carbon fibers and graphite. The resulting composites could be used in …

The focus of this research is to investigate how exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets,
xGnP™,(graphene sheets∼ 10 nm thickness,∼ 1 μm diameter), a nanomaterial developed …

By the addition of metal-oxide particles to plastics the electrical and thermal conductivity of
polymers can be increased significantly. Such particle filled polymers can substitute metals …

Magnetic and dielectric properties of Fe3O4/epoxy resin composites were studied as a
function of Fe3O4 concentration. The Fe3O4 powder was milled using a planetary ball-mill …

Dielectric properties of Al–epoxy composites were characterized as a function of
composition, frequency, and temperature. The dielectric constant increased smoothly with …

Polymer nanocomposites with engineered electrical properties can be made by tuning the
fabrication method, processing conditions and filler's geometric and physical properties. This …
