Novel Electroceramic: Polymer Composites - Preparation, Properties and Applications

Properties of agave fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites

Biocomposites have attracted a great deal of interest in research and industry sectors because they are typically lightweight, sustainable, environmentally friendly, and their thermomechanical properties can be designed to fit specific applications by tuning of their composition. In this study, mechanical properties of natural-fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite films were explored. Thermo...

Photorefractive properties in homogeneous and heterogeneous polymer / liquid crystal composites ∗

The photorefractivity of a photorefractive composite consisting of poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) doped with a non-room-temperature liquid crystal, 4-butyloxy4’-cyanobiphenyl (4OCB), and C60 was studied by means of measuring the two-beam coupling coefficients. The results show that the photorefractivity is enhanced by phase separation. PACS: 42.65; 61.30; 61.40 Interest in materials that exhibit ...

Highly Compatible Wood Thermoplastic Composites from Lignocellulosic Material Modified in Ionic Liquids: Preparation and Thermal Properties

A study of converting chemically modified wood into thermoplastic materials was undertaken to develop a new technology platform for the effective utilization of wood-based lignocellulosic materials. Highly substituted benzoylated spruce thermomechanical pulp (TMP) and lauroylated spruce TMP were used as components for thermoplastic composites of poly(styrene) and poly(propylene). Scanning elect...
