High Performance Compatibilized Polyamide Composites Containing Graphene Nanoplatelets and Recycled Glass Fibers

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Polyamide/graphene nanoplatelet composites for functional applications ABSTRACT Polyamide‐based composites reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) have exceptional potential as high‐performance functional materials. Non‐covalent modification with a trimellitic anhydride (TMA) coating agent improved the compatibility of the GNPs with polyamide 6 ...

Graphene Nanoplatelets (GNP) as a Functional Filler for Styrene‐Butadiene Rubber (SBR)

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Spider chart showing the change in selected properties on inclusion of GNP in SBR relative to carbon black (CB) filled SBR. ABSTRACT The carbon footprint of synthetic rubber is poor, including its production and the use of carbon black as a filler, which is obtained from non‐renewable feedstocks.

Evaluation of Banana Pseudostem Fibres for Packaging Material Development

open access: yesPackaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
Composites were developed from banana pseudostem fibres, extracted from a thermomechanical method to produce pulp, which was subsequently hot‐pressed with gum arabic to form fibreboards intended as sustainable packaging material. ABSTRACT The present study investigated composites prepared from banana pseudostem fibres (BF) and gum arabic (GA), in ...

Hydraulic Fracturing

2017
Hydraulic fracturing (hydraulic fracture stimulation, fraccing) is a process through which a large number of fractures are created mechanically in the rock, thus allowing the natural gas and/or crude oil trapped in subsurface formations to move through those fractures to the wellbore from where it can then flow to the surface.
