This chapter reviews the tensile properties of natural and synthetic fiber-reinforced polymer
composites with an emphasis on some types of natural and synthetic fibers that are often …

Hard-magnetic soft active materials have drawn significant research interest in recent years
due to their advantages of untethered, rapid and reversible actuation, and large shape …

Stress fields in the fiber and matrix of a transversely isotropic short fiber reinforced
composite are obtained following an elasticity approach, and its axial modulus is derived …

The present study aims to investigate the effect of incorporating different fibers in an
elastomeric media on its mechanical and energy absorption characteristics. To this end …

Abstract Bis (triethoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulfide (TESPT) with ethoxysilyl and tetrasulfide
groups were grafted successfully on the oxidized short carbon fibers (CF) surface in order to …

In this work we experimented the effect of rubber particles on the mechanical properties for
the polymer composite material. A commercially available rubber particles was introduced …

The thermal surface properties of graphenes and carbon materials are of crucial importance
in the chemistry of materials, chemical engineering, and many industrial processes …

ABSTRACT Natural rubber or cis-1, 4-poly (isoprene)(Hevea brasiliensis) has been
considered as an essential technical material owing to fine elasticity, crack resistance …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are a group of smart materials that, by applying an external
stimulation such as the temperature, retrieve their permanent shape from a temporary one …

Superconducting undulators generally depend on a liquid helium cryostat. If the cryostat can
liquefy the boil-off helium completely, a large helium refrigerator can be avoided, and a large …
