Effect of Carbon Nanofiber-Matrix Adhesion on Polymeric Nanocomposite Properties—Part II

Rubber/Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposite with Hyperelastic Matrix

An elastomer is a polymer with the property of viscoelasticity, generally having notably low Young's modulus and high yield strain compared with other materials.  Elastomers, in particular rubbers, are used in a wide variety of products ranging from rubber hoses, isolation bearings, and shock absorbers to tires. Rubber has good properties and is thermal and electrical resistant. We used carbon ...

effect of oral presentation on development of l2 learners grammar

this experimental study has been conducted to test the effect of oral presentation on the development of l2 learners grammar. but this oral presentation is not merely a deductive instruction of grammatical points, in this presentation two hypotheses of krashen (input and low filter hypotheses), stevicks viewpoints on grammar explanation and correction and widdowsons opinion on limited use of l1...

Polymeric Nanocomposite Materials

Flexible carbon-nanofiber connectors with anisotropic adhesion properties.

The ability of gecko lizards and many insects to climb vertical surfaces relies on the hierarchical microand nanofibrillar arrayed features on their feet. The fibrillar structures provide conformal contact with the opposing surfaces to maximize the van der Waals (vdW) interactions. These adhesive systems found in nature have inspired researchers to design synthetic adhesives by using fibrillar ...
