Developments in the synthesis and scalable manufacturing of carbon nanomaterials like
carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been widely used in the polymer material industry over the …

Glass fibre reinforcements form the backbone of a composites industry with a global annual
production of more than 10 million tons of high performance, light-weight materials. Possibly …

Oil palm fibre (OPF) is abundant in resources since it is easily obtained in many parts of an
oil palm crop. The application of OPF in polymer composite could provide good mechanical …

The mechanical properties of green-composites based on polylactic acid (PLA) with jute
fibers were investigated. A long fiber pellet was developed to obtain a high aspect ratio of …

The fibre–matrix interface represents a vital element in the development and
characterisation of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs). Extensive ranges of interfacial …

The present article aims to investigate the contribution of hygroscopic expansion of flax
fibres to interfacial radial stresses and Interfacial Shear Strength (IFSS) of Maleic Anhydride …

Tailored-modulus epoxy matrix was designed on basis of surface analysis of high-modulus
carbon fibers (HMCF), and the effects of modulus intermediate layer on interfacial and …

A facile method to prepare carbon nanotube/carbon fiber hybrid fiber was explored by
combining electrophoretic deposition process with sizing process. The electrophoretic …

The effect of maleic-anhydride-grafted polypropylene compatibilizer on the crystallization
behavior of two isotactic polypropylene homopolymers is experimentally investigated under …

The interfacial properties of carbon fiber (CF) reinforced thermoplastic composites depend
strongly on the wettability and surface characteristics of the reinforcing fibers, and their …
