Most industrially applied polymer resins and composites have low surface free energy and
lack polar functional groups on their surface, resulting in inherently poor adhesion …

Designing effective strategies to satisfy the anti-corrosion requirements in high-pressure
oxygen and high salt environment still remains a huge challenge. Herein, the oriented …

Mica waste, a type of commercial waste produced in bulk quantities by the mica mining
industry, was processed and added to Natural Rubber Latex Foams (NRLF) made of …

The influence of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) with different polymorphs (calcite and

In this study, mechanical properties of CaCO 3 reinforced Polypropylene (PP) matrix
composite materials were investigated using the Digimat-Mean Field (MF) homogenization …

The elaboration of composites with natural fibers and polymeric matrices has to face two
major difficulties: natural fibers present a hydrophilic character (absorption of water and …

Completely resorbable composites are an attractive alternative for metallic bone-fracture
