there are described nanocomposites based on ultra high molecular weight polyethylene and graphite nanoplates prepared by in-situ polymerization method. it is carried out a comprehensive study of electric properties of these composites, including direct current (dc) and alternating current (ac) properties. there is explored dependence of the conductivity and dielectric permeability on filler con...

The aim of this paper is to introduce a method for creating a homogenous substitute material for composite materials using optimisation algorithms. Composite materials are modern construction materials used, for example, in aircraft construction. However, numerical modelling of these materials is, due to its multi-layer structure, very difficult to compute. This multi-layer structure and loss m...

The heat transfer problem in composite materials has been investigated which contains the nano-scale interface. A molecular dynamics-continuum coupled model is developed to study the heat transport from the macroto the micro-scales. The model includes four major parts: (1) A reverse non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (RNEMD) is used to calculate the physical parameters such as the thermal condu...

Core-shell composite structures are potential candidates for Li-ion battery electrodes as they can take advantage of materials with higher energy density and materials with higher cyclability. This paper derives an analytical solution for isotropic 1-dimensional diffusion with galvanostatic boundary condition in composite slab, cylinder and sphere using separation of variables method. A general...

INTRODUCTION The research made in this PhD thesis fits the current trend in the development of new advanced composite electrode materials with high performance and parameters. The composite materials has new physical and chemical properties that are not present in its components taken individually. The new electrode materials were obtained by combination of conducting polymers, such as polypyrr...

A common debate about the definition of composite materials among composite engineers and materials scientists continues to this day. More recently, biomedical engineers have used the term composite prolifically for newly developed biomaterials, and it might be argued that not every usage of the term composite for a biomaterial would satisfy the traditional composite engineer, who is used to th...

The wide range of properties covered by the manufacturable fiber–matrix combinations of composite materials, along with their directional property characteristics, provides designers with material selection flexibility during designing composite material products. Meeting multiple property goals, however, complicates the design process as both the composite material selection and the component ...

In cases where there are no suitable natural undercuts on the teeth which can be used to provide clasp retention for a partial denture artificial undercuts can be created by the application of a composite filling material. An in-vitro investigation was undertaken to assess the surface integrity of three different composite restorative materials following repeated cycles of movement of cobalt-ch...
