Effective elastic properties for carbon nanotube reinforced composites are obtained through a variety of micromechanics techniques. An embedded carbon nanotube  in  a  polymer  matrix  and  its surrounding  interphase  is  replaced with an equivalent fiber for  predicting  the  mechanical  properties of  the  carbon  nanotube/polymer composite. The effects of an interphase layer between the nan...

background and objectives: kefiran (kef) is a water-soluble polysaccharide that can form transparent film however, it is brittle. therefore, in order to improve the mechanical properties of kefiran film, a mixture with other polymers can be offered. the expansion of mixed systems can propose kefiran and polyvinyl alcohol (pvoh) as a new composite film. materials and methods: solutions of 20 gra...

in this paper, an ultra low carbon high strength low alloy grade steel was subjected to a two-step forging processand this was followed by different post cooling methods. the highest strength was obtained at a faster coolingrate due to the highly dislocated acicular ferrite structure with the fine precipitation of microalloying carbides andcarbonitrides. at a slow cooling rate, the strength fel...

Metamaterials are rationally designed composites made of building blocks which composed one or more constituent materials. Metamaterial properties can go beyond those the ingredient materials, both qualitatively and quantitatively. In addition, their be mapped on some generalized continuum model. We present general procedure designing elastic metamaterials based masses springs. show that using ...

cross-linked polymeric organogels have attracted much attention in recent years. most synthesized organogels are based on low molecular weight or denderitic materials. the study focuses on the preparation of an alcohol absorbent organogel based on 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulphonic acid (amps) through cross-linking polymerization. polyethylene glycol diacrylate-400 and ammonium persulphate ...
