It is realized that the addition of a small percentage of rigid nanoparticles to polymers
significantly improves many of their mechanical properties, especially stiffness and strength …

Tribological phenomena abundantly exist in living beings, especially in human beings, such
as in teeth, eyes, bones, skins, heart valves and so on, and it is meaningful to reveal the …

The influence of alumina (Al 2 O 3) nanoparticles addition upon low-velocity impact
behaviors of carbon fiber (CF) reinforced laminated epoxy nanocomposites have been …

Denture base materials need appropriate mechanical and tribological characteristics to
endure different stresses inside the mouth. This study investigates the properties of poly …

A combination of inorganic nanoparticles was added as reinforcement to a diglycidyl ether of
bisphenol-A (DGEBA)-based epoxy resin modified by a hybrid sol–gel method. Different …

In polymer nanocomposites, interactions between filler particles and matrix material play a
crucial role for their macroscopic properties. Nanocomposites consisting of varying amounts …
