Impact of rGO-coated PEEK and lattice on bone implant
(2022-08-01)
The composite coating can effectively inhibit bacterial proliferation and promote the expression of bone-building genes in-vitro. Therefore, a novel production was used to produce poly-ether-ether-ketone, and reduced ...
Extraction and characterization of natural cellulosic Erythrina variegata fiber for biocomposites
(2022-05-24)
This paper presents a study on extraction and characterization of the cellulose fiber from the bark of Erythrina variegate (EV) plant. Several tests were carried out on Erythrina variegata fibers (EVFs) to determine their ...
4D Printing of Nanostructure Modified Shape Memory Polymer Composites
(Springer Nature, 2022-05-19)
Four-dimensional (4D) printing and nanostructure have introduced the possibility of having systems for self-assembly, self-healing, and material properties changes. Layered printing allows creating compound and complex ...
Feasibility of elastomeric composites as alternative materials for marine applications: A compendious review on their properties and opportunities
(2022-05-19)
The term elastomer is a curtailment of two words, which are elastic and polymers. Accordingly, elastomers are polymer materials with elasticity. The significant challenges hindering the development of materials for naval ...
4D printing: Pragmatic progression in biofabrication
(2022-04-15)
Progress in three-dimensional (3D) printing of shape memory polymers (SMPs) has produced dynamic and 3Dprinted assemblies that can be shaped fast and modified for specific and multifaceted designs. Technology, biochemistry, ...
Effects of Moisture Absorption and Thickness Swelling Behaviors on Mechanical Performances of Carica Papaya Fiber Reinforced Polymeric Composites
(2022-04-04)
In this study, composite materials were made from Carica papaya fibers (CPFs), as a reinforcing element in polypropylene (PP), polyester (P) and epoxy (E) matrices, using compression molding technique. Experiments were ...
Epoxy/hollow glass microsphere syntactic foams for structural and functional application - A review
(2022-03-29)
Composite materials have improved the fields of aerospace, marine and defence by supporting the manufacturing of several structures owing to their superior properties. The specific class of composite materials known as ...
Composites as candidate materials for photovoltaic cells
(2022-03-07)
Composites are two or more materials with different propertiesjoined together to manufacture a new material. The resulting physicaland chemical properties of each constituent new materialremain distinct with enhanced ...
Nanocomposite cotton gauze cloth with in situ generated silver, copper and their binary metal nanoparticles by bioreduction method
(2022-01-16)
In the present work, the authors prepared nanocomposite cotton gauze cloth (NCGC) by in situ generating the nanoparticles of silver (ANPs) and copper (CuNPs) and their binary metallic nanoparticles (BMNPs) using aqueous ...
Applicability of angular orientations of gating designs to quality of sand casting components using two-cavity mould set-up.
(2021-10-28)
This study aimed to examine the integrity of two-cavity sand casting products in relation to the angular orientation of gating design. Two angular orientations of 60 and 45 were investigated experimentally and numerically ...
