A series of drop weight tests were conducted to evaluate the dynamic flatwise compression strength and flexural strength of sandwich panels with a novel core structure. This sandwich core material, known as Norcore, consists of interconnected cells in a unique configuration of truncated pyramid with sloping cell walls. Core materials made of thermoplastic including virgin Lexan, polycarbonate, ...

Distributed Multimedia Information System Laboratory School of Computer Science, Florida International University Miami, FL 33199, USA Abstract Styrene Monomer (SM) has been widely used for producing polystyrene (PS), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and styrene-acryonitrile (SAN) in the petrochemical industry. From 1994 to 2001, several serious accidents occurred in Taiwan due to styrene ...

INTRODUCTION Hearing protection devices are one of the primary noise reduction tools in developing countries. This study is intended to produce and apply acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)/clay nanocomposites to fabricate a laboratory single cup earmuffs and then compare it with double cup and single cup pure ABS earmuffs in terms of noise attenuation performance and comfort. In addition, th...

Medical devices can be contaminated by microbial biofilm which causes nosocomial infections. One of the strategies for the prevention of such microbial adhesion is to modify the biomaterials by creating micro or nanofeatures on their surface. This study aimed (1) to nanostructure acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), a polymer composing connectors in perfusion devices, using Anodic Alumina Oxi...

The studies on wollastonite reinforced recycled ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) composites were investigated. Powder-based with a particle size of 13 microns was mixed Acrylonitrile styrene in various proportions wt.%. Recycled homogeneously and composite prepared using twin-screw extruder it pelletized. specimens the injection moulding process mechanical properties like tensile strength ...

bismuth sulfide nano-rods and nano-flowers were synthesized via a hydrothermal reaction at a relatively low temperature. thioglycolic acid is used as sulfur source and capping agent simultaneously. bi2s3 nanostructures were then added to acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (abs) copolymer. the thermal stability behavior of abs filled with bismuth sulfide nano-rods were investigated by thermogravime...

ethylene bis-stearamide is one of the important acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene ()abs)( polymer additives, which is used as lubricant, slip agent and mold release agent. in this research, ethylene bis-stearamide for abs application was synthesized using stearic acid and ethylene diamine under reflux condition. refluxing prevented ethylenediamine from evaporation and thus the initial molar ratio...
