"The fourth edition of this excellent book, used by many universities and companies for teaching and research purposes, brings significant current information on new methods and applications based on recently published literature. The most notable new sections discuss non-Newton…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been successfully grafted onto the surfaces of spherical silica gels via a floating-catalyst chemical vapour deposition method. Two types of silica gels were used as substrates; SG6 (6 – 8 nm pore size) and SG26 (26 – 34 nm pore size). The optimum gr…
The flow behaviour of liquid metals (Sn, Pb and Sn-Pb eutectic) under different shearing conditions is investigated. Experiments were performed with two designs of concentric cylinder viscometers: rotating the inner cylinder (Searle) and rotating the outer cylinder (Couette). Th…
This thesis looks at the study of nanocomposites of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) and organoclays. Two methods of materials blending are investigated for the production of the nanocomposites: solvent blending and melt blending. The main objectives were the investigation of the in…
Bioethanol is a promising renewable biofuel and wheat is currently the main candidate asthe feedstock for its production in the UK context. The quality of the numerous varieties ofwheat developed in the past by plant breeders has been well examined in terms of bread, biscuitand …
Melding is a novel process which offers a promising route to creating seamless bonds, by partially curing two laminates in a controlled manner using a Quickstep chamber and subsequently co-curing them. Previous research has focused on melding lap joints in the x-y plane of a com…
Novel solutions to offset thermal degradation of polyamide-6 (PA-6) and organoclay (organically modified layered silicates) nanocomposites during melt compounding have been investigated. In this research, a novel chain extender (Joncryl ADR 3400) has been used to improve thermal…
Carbon nanotubes are known as ideal fillers for polymer systems; the main advantage of carbon nanotubes over other nano-reinforcing particles is the combination of superior strength and stiffness with large aspect ratio. Carbon nanotubes may improve the mechanical, electrical an…
Industrial processing of soft materials involves a wide range of processing histories that change the material’s nanostructure and, therefore, the properties of the final product. Determining the connection between processing, structure and properties represents a grand challeng…
