Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) provides reliable information about the viscoelastic
behavior of neat and filled polymers. The properties of filled polymers are relevant to …

The past two decades have seen atomic force microscopy (AFM) evolve from an
experimental technique to probe simple surface topography to one that can spatially map …

This study focused on an innovative practical method using computer vision for particle size
measurement, which serves as a key precursor for predicting the elastic modulus of polymer …

Delamination is one of the primary damage mechanisms in laminated composites that
affects the lifetime integrity of the composite systems. The present study examines the effects …

Two challenging scientific disciplines, ie, the physics of glasses [Anderson, Science 267,
1615 (1995); Kennedy and Norman, Science 309, 75 (2005)] and interface chemistry …

Delamination due to interlaminar fracture has limited the application of composite materials
in highly integrity-sensitive structural systems. The novelty of this experimental and statistical …

3D printing is one of the effective scaffold fabrication techniques that emerged in the 21st
century that has the potential to revolutionize the field of tissue engineering. The solid …

The CNT network and interphase in nanocomposites have not been studied quantitatively
enough in the literature. The AFM peak force quantitative nanomechanics mapping …
