The base polymer properties have been developed experimentally by adding small amounts of different fillers but they are expensive to the polymer material. Thus, it has been investigated that the incorporation of cost-less nanoparticles like clay and fumed silica nanoparticles into low density polyethylene LDPE and high density polyethylene HDPE which controlled the breakdown strength and volta...

Strain-rate-dependent mechanical properties and impact performance of manufactured epoxy-based nanocomposites are investigated. As reinforcements, fumed silica (FS) halloysite nanotube (HNT) used alongside Albipox 1000 Nanopox F700. First, the internal structures composites visualised using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). To identify strain-rate-dependent properties, three-point bend tests ...

Fused silica glass is a commonly used high-performance material. However, due to the high temperature necessary for its production, manufacturing can also be challenging and costly. An attractive approach additive through laser cladding. Laser cladding of transparent fused was achieved using CO 2 -laser locally melt substrate while injecting stream fumed powder into melt-pool. By described tech...

Abstract Fumed silica-filled polypropylene (PP)-based nanodielectrics were studied in this work. To not only improve the dispersion of silica but also introduce deep charge traps into polymeric matrix, five types modified silicas manufactured with different surface modifications. The surfaces comprise an inner and a layer. layer contains polar urethane group for tailoring trap properties PP/pro...

A series of highly dispersed Ho2O3–Yb2O3/SiO2 nanocomposites was synthesized using a liquid-phase method and examined Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption–desorption, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS). fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) confirmed similar amount we...
