Impact behavior of PLA/PCL bioblends
(2020)
Conference report
Open AccessThe effect of adding polycaprolactone (PCL) on the impact behavior of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) has been evaluated. Bioblends (with and without compatibilizer) were prepared in a pilot plant (twin screw extrusion, 5kg/h) ... -
Influence of topographical features on the surface appearance measurement of injection moulded components
(Elsevier, 2021-01)
Article
Open AccessAdding textures to surfaces is known to improve the external appearance of injection moulded components. However, when high surface quality is required, normally a paint coating is applied on top of the moulded textured ... -
Isocyanate toughened pCBT: reactive blending and tensile properties
(2013-02-01)
Article
Open AccessCyclic butylene terephthalate oligomers (CBT) were reacted in a ring-opening polymerization with three types of isocyanates: a bifunctional aromatic type, a bifunctional aliphatic type and a polymeric aromatic isocyanate. ... -
Isocyanate toughening of pCBT/organoclay nanocomposites with exfoliated structure and enhanced mechanical properties
(2014-12-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyCyclic butylene terephthalate (CBT (R)) is an interesting matrix material for the preparation of nanocomposites due to its very low, water-like melt viscosity which favours clay exfoliation. Nevertheless, polymerized CBT ... -
