Recent advances in carbon-based polymer nanocomposites for electromagnetic interference shielding
(2019-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyCarbon-based nanoparticles have recently generated a great attention, as they could create polymer nanocomposites with enhanced transport properties, overcoming some limitations of electrically-conductive polymers for high ... -
Polyetherimide foams filled with low content of graphene nanoplatelets prepared by scCO2 dissolution
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2019-02-13)
Article
Open AccessPolyetherimide (PEI) foams with graphene nanoplatelets (GnP) were prepared by supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) dissolution. Foam precursors were prepared by melt-mixing PEI with variable amounts of ultrasonicated GnP ... -
Effects of a phosphorus flame retardant system on the mechanical and fire behavior of microcellular ABS
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2018-12-26)
Article
Open AccessThe presentwork dealswith the study of phosphorus flame retardantmicrocellular acrylonitrile– butadiene–styrene (ABS) parts and the effects of weight reduction on the fire and mechanical performance. Phosphorus-based flame ... -

(2018-09-19)
Article
Open AccessSignificant improvement in electrical conductivity of graphene nanoplatelets-filled polyetherimide (PEI) foams was achieved by simultaneously increasing the porosity and graphene nanoplatelets dispersion. Foams were prepared ... -
Flame retardancy effect of combined ammonium polyphosphate and aluminium diethyl phosphinate in acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene
(2018-07-23)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe present work investigates the fire retardancy mechanisms of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and aluminium diethyl phosphinate salt (AlPi) in an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS) by analysing the pyrolysis, ... -
Porous membranes based on polypropylene-ethylene copolymers. Influence of temperature on extrusion, annealing and uniaxial strain stages
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2018-08-02)
Article
Open AccessIn this study, block and random copolymers of polypropylene–ethylene are selected to prepare porous membranes through the melt extrusion-annealing-uniaxial stretching technique (MEAUS), at a constant draw ratio. In some ... -
The fracture testing of ductile polymer films: Effect of the specimen notching
