Effects of nitric acid temperature and reflux time on covalent functionalization of helical carbon nanotubes for nanocomposite applications
(Composites and Advanced Materials Expo (CAMX), 2018-10)In this study a reflux process was used for chemical functionalization of helical carbon nanotubes (HCNTs). The impact of process temperature (i.e., 60 °C and 100 °C) and reflux time (i.e., 3, 6, and 24 hours), as two key ... -
Centrifugal-force induced separation of recyclable electronic wastes above the melting points using induction heat unit
(Composites and Advanced Materials Expo (CAMX), 2018-10)The proper disposal of electronic waste and electrical components is currently a major interest of many researchers because of the fact that these electronics not only generate the landfill waste, but also release heavy ... -
Investigating the viscoelastic properties and curing kinetics of thermoset nanocomposites via dynamic shear rheological analysis
(Composites and Advanced Materials Expo (CAMX), 2018-10)Mechanical properties of a thermosetting composite can be theoretically determined by using its physical and chemical characteristics, and these properties are also immensely influenced by the viscoelastic structures and ... -
Enhancing the de-icing capabilities of carbon fiber-reinforced composite aircraft via permanent superhydrophobic coatings
(Composites and Advanced Materials Expo (CAMX), 2018-10)The accumulation of ice on man-made structures can limit the performance of those structures, and also can cause destructions in major industries, such as aviation, automotive, ship, trains, highways, telecommunication, ... -
Mechanical properties improvement of polymeric nanocomposites reinforced with chemically treated helical carbon nanotubes: Influence of sonication time and molarities of nitric-sulfuric-hydrochloric acids
(Composites and Advanced Materials Expo (CAMX), 2018-10)Polymer-based composites are widely used for structural applications, predominantly in the aerospace and renewable energy industries. One of the main disadvantages is their failure/delamination due to interlaminar strength ... -
