Natural minerals play a key role in the burgeoning field of mineral-reinforced polymers,
providing an important element in strengthening and toughening the properties of composite …

Abstract A PC/ABS blend was used to prepare hybrid composites reinforced with the use of
a biocarbon/carbon fiber (BC/CF) system. The purpose of using blends of this type was to …

A multi-functional kaolinite-based compound (AST@ Kaol) was prepared by successive
loading of TiO 2 and SiO 2 to the surface of metakaolinite (Kaol), followed by reaction with γ …

As part of the present work, polymer composites used in 3D printing technology, especially
in Melted and Extruded Manufacturing (MEM) technology, were obtained. The influence of …

To enhance the mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties and economic profits,
polycarbonates (PCs) have been blended with various inorganic additives for the past few …

Rubber compounding with two or more components has been extensively employed to
improve various properties. In particular, natural rubber (NR)/ethylene-propylene-diene …

Starting from spent coffee grounds, the use of coffee-derived biochar (CB) as a flame
retardant (FR) additive was explored following a waste-to-wealth approach. CB was …

In recent years, there has been a growing concern about the environmental impact of
postconsumer poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET) waste. To address this issue, significant …

Composites based on high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and mollusk shell-waste (MSW)
particles, with several concentrations and two different micro-sizes, were prepared by melt …

In this work the fire behaviour of elastomeric panels made of an Ethylene-Propylene Diene
Monomer (EPDM) rubber filled with a shape-stabilized paraffin with a melting point of 28° C …
