Effect of filler content, size, aspect ratio and morphology on thermal, morphological and permeability properties of porous talc filled—Polypropylene obtained through MEAUS process
(2018-12)
Article
Open AccessSeveral commercial grades of talc were selected to develop polypropylene based microporous membranes through MEAUS process (melt extrusion—annealing—uniaxial strain). Talc commercial grades differed in particle size, aspect ... -
Effects of graphene nanoplatelets and cellular structure on the thermal conductivity of polysulfone nanocomposite foams
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2019-12-20)
Article
Open AccessPolysulfone (PSU) foams containing 0–10 wt% graphene nanoplatelets (GnP) were prepared using two foaming methods. Alongside the analysis of the cellular structure, their thermal conductivity was measured and analyzed. The ... -
