Shape memory, thermal conductivity, and mechanical property of polylactic acid and natural rubber composites reinforced by an inorganic thermal conductive network
Abstract: With the development and application of thermotropic shape memory polymer materials in the biomedical field, it is very crucial for these materials to improve their thermal conductivity...
Evaluation of Epoxidized Soybean Oil as a Green Admixture for Biobased Polymer–Impregnated Cement Pastes: Comparison with Dioctyl Terephthalate
Abstract: Biobased green plasticizers are preferred in the production of plastics in light of the environmental and human health issues posed by traditional plasticizers. Epoxidized soybean oil is an...
Transparent, robust, and machinable hybrid silica aerogel with a “rigid-flexible” combined structure for thermal insulation, oil/water separation, and self-cleaning
Silica aerogel has many attractive properties, but poor mechanical properties severely limit its practical applications. Many reinforcement strategies have been implemented, however, most of which...
Thermoforming process effects on structural performance of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite parts through a manufacturing to response pathway
Abstract Thermoforming process of thermoplastic-based continuous CFRP’s offer a major advantage in reducing cycle times for large-scale productions, but it can also have a significant impact on the...
Photothermally Enabled Mxene Hydrogel Membrane With Integrated Solar-Driven Evaporation And Photodegradation For Efficient Water Purification
Abstract: Sustainable and energy-efficient water purification making use of solar energy is highly desirable to address water scarcity and pollution crisis. However, it remains a challenge to achieve...
Micro-cavity perfect blackbody composite with good heat transfer towards a flat-plate reference radiation source for thermal imagers
One of the key measures to secure reliable fever screening is to calibrate a thermal imager with an accurate flat-plate blackbody device in real time. We provide durable perfect blackbody plates with...
Improved Potting of Litz Wires for High Power Density Electric Motor
Specific details including selections of process materials, tooling/fixture setups, and a stepby-step procedure for scaling-up demonstrations of the newly developed potting process, namely...
Simulation Led Performance Evaluation and Design of Polymer Composite for Encapsulation of Low-Concentration Photovoltaic Modules
This work is focused on optimizing the properties of encapsulant for low-concentration photovoltaic (LCPV) modules leading to improved electrical power and module life. Thermal conductivity (TC),...
Enhanced thermally conductive and thermomechanical properties of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)/graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) nanocomposites for radiator of electronic components
In this work, multi-layer hot pressing (MLHP) method was used to prepare the graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) filled polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) composites. Effect of GNP content on the viscoelastic...
