Strain induced crystallization in vulcanized natural rubber containing ground tire rubber particles with reinforcement and nucleation abilities
(Elsevier, 2021-09-01)
Article
Open AccessStrain induced crystallization (SIC) of peroxide vulcanized natural rubber (NR)/ground tire rubber (GTR) composites is studied by combining mechanical and microstructural characterization techniques. It is found that the ... -
Notch effect on the linear elastic fracture mechanics values of a polysulfone thermoplastic polymer
(2021-08-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyUsers of the most popular procedures for determining the linear elastic fracture mechanics parameters on polymers have noted that the repeatability and reproducibility of the results depend strongly on the quality of the ... -
Evaluation of household waste materials for façade components in primary educational workshops: degradation behavior and mechanical properties of aged samples
(Elsevier, 2021-01)
Article
Restricted access - author's decisionThis article presents a pioneering experimental campaign on waste materials that rigorously tests numerous specimens to study their degradation behavior and the unreported mechanical properties of aged samples. The novel ... -
Evaluation of household waste materials for façade components in primary educational workshops. Mechanical and fire properties
(Elsevier, 2020-05-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyAn important amount of human household waste can be reused, as it is presently done all over the world in numerous social initiatives such as “Do It Yourself” proposals. Some waste containers have sufficiently good mechanical ... -
Impact of titanium dioxide in the mechanical recycling of post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate bottle waste: tensile and fracture behavior
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-01-19)
Article
Open AccessThis work provides an experimental analysis regarding the fracture behavior of recycled opaque PET (rPET-O) containing titanium dioxide (TiO2) under plane stress conditions. For this purpose, a commercially post-consumer ... -
Effect of the strain rate on damage in filled epdm during single and cyclic loadings
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020-12-01)
Article
Open AccessThe effect of the strain rate on damage in carbon black filled Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer rubber (EPDM)stretched during single and multiple uniaxial loading is investigated. This has been performed by analyzing the ... -
Effect of chitin nanocrystals on crystallization and properties of poly(lactic acid)-based nanocomposites
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020-03-01)
Article
Open AccessThe crystalline phase of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) has crucial effects on its own properties and nanocomposites. In this study, the isothermal crystallization of PLA, triethyl citrate-plasticized PLA (PLA–TEC), and its ... -
Modification of poly(lactic) acid by reactive extrusion and its melt-blending with acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
(2020-04-05)
Article
Open AccessPoly(lactic) acid, (PLA) is a biodegradable polymer that has attracted interest as a potential substitute for some thermoplastic polymers. However, its advanced brittleness at room temperature represents one of the major ... -
Heat source and voiding signatures of Mullins damage in filled EPDM
(Elsevier, 2020-11)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe thermomechanical coupling of Mullins damage in filled EPDM has been investigated by analysing the self-heating via Infrared thermography (IR) and the voiding fraction by Digital Image Correlation (DIC). The volumetric ... -
Influence of topographical features on the surface appearance measurement of injection moulded components
(Elsevier, 2021-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyAdding 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 ... -
Biphasic polylactide/polyamide 6,10 blends: Influence of composition on polyamide structure and polyester crystallization
(Elsevier, 2020-08-12)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyBlends with different ratios of polylactide and polyamide 6,10 (PA610) have been prepared by melt-mixing using a Brabender mixer equipment. Previously, a rheologically modified polylactide (PLAREx) was obtained through ...
