In this study, the tensile and compressive behaviors of pure and hybrid composite laminates reinforced by basalt–nylon bi-woven intra-ply fabrics were experimentally investigated. Epoxy resin was used as the matrix material. The purpose of using this hybrid composite is to obtain superior characteristics by using the good strength property of basalt fiber with the excellent toughness of ny...

Due to good biocompatibility, corrosion and mechanical properties, magnesium (Mg) is considered promising degradable material for orthopedic applications. In this work, Mg-MgZnx (x= 1, 2, 3 and 4) nanocomposites scaffolds with different porosities were synthesized via powder metallurgy method. The microstructure, composition, in vitro corrosion and mechanical properties of porous magnesium-zinc...

Stranded wire is the most important component of familiar mechanical equipment such as elevators, cable cars, and cranes. The quality of these products that are used on a daily basis are mainly affected by the tensile strength of stranded wire. In order to attain the purpose of economical design and a long life span of stranded wire, a less relaxation property of strand type is suitable for man...

With polymer nanocomposites, achieving highly effective dispersion of agglomerated nanofiller and major or optimal property enhancements remain challenges. A commonly posited solution is to improve the polymer-filler surface thermodynamic compatibility; this approach has led to significant improvements in some cases, but it has not provided a general solution. We address the question of whether...

Some physical properties like Gas barrier, thermal stability, and mechanical properties and brittleness of pure biopolymers film are inadequate for food packaging. The functional properties of quince seed mucilage-based films were enhanced by addition of nanoclay (NC) (Cloisite 30B). Edible films were cast from heated aqueous solutions of quince seed (10% w/w) and NC (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% w/w...

This study investigated the residual tensile properties of plain woven jute fiber reinforced poly(lactic acid) (PLA) during thermal cycling. Temperature ranges of thermal cycling tests were 35-45 °C and 35-55 °C. The maximum number of cycles was 10³ cycles. The quasi-static tensile tests of jute fiber, PLA, and composite were conducted after thermal cycling tests. Thermal mechanical analyses of...

The demand for "green" degradable composite materials increases with growing environmental awareness. The key challenge is achieving the preferred physical properties and maintaining their eco-attributes in terms of the degradability of the matrix and the filler. Herein, we have designed a series of "green" homocomposites materials based purely on polylactide (PLA) polymers with different struc...
