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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
