The growing demand for continuous improvement in the engineering applications of
thermoplastic and thermoset polymer materials compared with metals in various …

Most superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) are prepared based on synthetic polymers (from
petroleum resources), making them costly, nondegradable, and not ecofriendly. To …

The present study demonstrates a feasible synthetic route to prepare a methyl acrylic acid-
modified bentonite (MAABT)/sodium polyacrylate (SPA) superabsorbent nanocomposite, in …

Environmental issues have motivated researchers to replace synthetic fibres with natural
fibres in the fabrication of polymer composites. However, natural fibres demonstrate weak …

The objective of this study is to investigate the use of recycled high-density polyethylene
(rHDPE) and rubberwood flour (RWS) to manufacture experimental wood-plastic composites …

Natural fibre-reinforced polymer composites are standing in the limelight of investigations
due to their light weight and availability from natural and renewable resources. Improved …

In this research, the effect of the addition of aluminosilicate (bentonite) nanoclay powder on
the mechanical and dynamic mechanical behavior of polyester composites was …

Structural sandwich composites have been widely used in many engineering applications,
and this trend continues due to their superior mechanical properties, thermal insulation and …

This study explores the effects of modified (OMMT) nanoclay and core material on low
