Processing and Characterization of Thermoplastic Polyurethane Nanocomposite Thin Films
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this article, we have set up protocols for fabricating thermoplastic polyurethane thin films of about 30 μm (neat polyurethane and carbon nanofiber (CNF) containing polyurethane) via ultrasound ...
Tensile Stress Relaxation Behavior of Thermosetting Polyurethane Solid and Foams: Experiment and Model Prediction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Stress relaxation behavior of thermosetting polyurethane (PU) solid and foams were investigated in tensile mode using a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). PU solid samples were manufactured in a ...
Effects of Ultrasound and Strain Rate on Tensile Mechanical Behavior of Thermoplastic Poly Urethane Thin Films
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Thermoplastic poly urethane (TPU) is a diblock copolymer which naturally phase segregates into thermodynamically incompatible hard (H) and soft (S) segments. The size of the segments and their ...
Recent Advances in Micro, Nano, and Cellular Composite Materials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: It is with great pleasure that we compiled the Special Issue Recent Advances in Micro, Nano, and Cellular Composite Materials of the Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology (JEMT). In ...
Study on the Cure Kinetic Behavior of Thermosetting Polyurethane Solids and Foams: Effect of Temperature, Density, and Carbon Nanofiber
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cure kinetic behavior was studied for both thermosetting polyurethane (PU) solids and foams. The effects of cure temperature, foam density, and carbon nanofiber (CNF) contents were examined. Cure ...
Evaluation of Moisture Susceptibility of Nanoclay-Modified Asphalt Binders through the Surface Science Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Due to an increasing rate of traffic volume and truckloads in recent years, asphalt binders are often modified with synthetic polymers to increase stiffness and sustain excessive heat during hot summer days. However, the ...
Effect of Distribution Media Length and Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes on the Formation of Voids in VARTM Composites
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The first part of this paper characterizes the effect of tooling and process parameters such as the length of distribution media used in vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) of ...
