Effect of space radiation on composite material that was internal and external of the pressurized volume on the International Space Station (ISS)
(2022-07)The focus of this study will be on the effects that radiation environments on ISS have on composite coupons. Coupons from two different experimental programs HiMassSEE and MISSE-11 were used to run testing on. The HiMassSEE ... -
Experimental Study on The Microstructure-Mechanical Property Relationship of Crumb Rubber-Polyurethane Foam Composites
(Oklahoma State University, 2010-07-01)With the enormous growth of automobile industry initiating the needs of tire production all over the world, the disposal of scrap tires has become a significant environmental burden. Several research groups have investigated ... -
Fabrication of improved composite laminates by using a sliding magnetic tool during wet layup/vacuum bagging
(2018-05-11)A magnetic lift that utilizes magnetic polarization to create “on” and “off” conditions is used to easily and safely apply consolidation pressure on E-glass/epoxy laminates fabricated using the wet layup/vacuum bagging ... -
Improving the thermal conductivity of nanotube composites via end functionalization: random walks and molecular dynamics
(2017-12)The high thermal conductivity of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has promise for improving the thermal conductivity of nano composites. However, their large Kapitza resistance has frustrated this effect. One solution is to ... -
Manufacturing, Analysis, and Experimental Testing of Multi-bladed Propellers for SUAS
(Oklahoma State University, 2012-07-01)The emergence of small UAS with infinite applications has increased the demand for improved small aircraft components. For custom built UAS, optimized propellers are rarely available off the shelf. This paper presents a ... -
Metal Matrix Composites: History, Status, Factors and Future
(Oklahoma State University, 2011-07-01)The history, status, and future of metal matrix composites are presented by evaluating the progression of available literature through time. The trends that existed and issues that still prevail are discussed and a prediction ... -
Polymer functionalized single-walled carbon nanotube composites and semi-fluorinated quaternary ammonium polymer colloids and coatings
(2012-07)Scope and Method of Study: Current study focused on understanding of "wetting" and "dewetting" phenomena between surfaces of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) which are lightly grafted with polymer chains by ... -
Scaling Up of Manufacturing Processes of Recycled Carpet Based Composites
(Oklahoma State University, 2011-07-01)In this work, feasibility of recycling post-consumer carpets using a modified vacuum assisted resisted molding process into large-scale components was successfully demonstrated. The scale up also included the incorporation ... -
Selective toughening of Carbon/Epoxy composites using graphene oxide
(Oklahoma State University, 2011-12-01)Graphene oxide (GO) is an oxide form of graphite, which still preserves the parental layered structure terminated by oxygen rich groups like epoxide, carbonyl and hydroxyl. Its strong affinity for water attributes to its ... -
Ultrahigh Resolution Pulsed Laser-Induced Photoacoustic Detection of Multi-Scale Damage in CFRP Composites
(2020-03-20)This paper presents a photoacoustic non-destructive evaluation (pNDE) system with an ultrahigh resolution for the detection of multi-scale damage in carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites. The pNDE system consists ... -
Use of AFM Indentation to Quantify Mechanical Properties of the Interphase Region in Fiber-Reinforced Composites
(2019-07)Interphase is the region in the vicinity of the reinforcing fiber in the polymer composites with properties distinct from the bulk matrix. Investigation of these nano- and micro interphase regions have been done using ...
