Replacing of glass fibres with seed oil palm fibres for tribopolymeric composites [PDF]

Tribology - Materials, Surfaces & Interfaces, 2008
In the current study, the possibility of replacing woven glass fibres (WGFs) with seed oil palm fibres (SOPFs) as reinforcements for tribopolymeric composites is investigated. Mainly, two different polyester composites based on woven glass reinforced polyester (WGRP) and seed oil palm reinforced polyester (SOPRP) are developed.

Thermal characterization of date palm/epoxy composites with fillers from different parts of the tree

Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2020
Thermal expansion and viscoelastic properties of the date palm fibre (DPF)/epoxy composites were influenced by the type of filler from different parts of the date palm tree. The variation in properties is mainly due to the difference in fibre composition

Is an Apple an Orange? A Large Language Model Benchmark for Candidate Term Extraction and Subclass Decisions Against Upper Ontologies in Engineering and Materials Science

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Building machine‐readable vocabularies for materials science is slow, expert‐driven work. This study benchmarks 13 large language models on two of its first steps: finding candidate terms in engineering articles and deciding where they belong in a class hierarchy.
