We report on a novel technique to enhance the thermal conductivity of epoxy
nanocomposites using graphene coated poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA) balls. PMMA …

Resistance to time-dependent plastic deformation of polymer composite materials is a
crucial requirement in their application for long-term durability and reliability. Herein, creep …

In this work, we investigate the creep and recovery behaviours of polystyrene (PS)
composites filled with two-dimensional chemically reduced graphene oxide (CRGO) sheets …

The polyurethane (PU) nanocomposites containing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were
prepared through in situ polymerization for the creep study. The results show that the …

Epoxy materials have been widely applied in various applications ranging from nanoscale
structures, such as microelectronic devices, to macroscale components in aerospace and …

Poly (ether ether ketone)(PEEK), with its superb mechanical properties, excellent chemical
