High-performance commodity polymers are in demand due to low cost, durability, easy
productivity, and recycling ability. This article comprises a survey on the performance …

Polymer nanocomposites operate in applications where fluid and grease lubricants fail, and
have superior tribological performance to traditional polymer composites. Nanoparticle fillers …

Whether an airplane or a space shuttle, a flying machine requires advanced materials to
provide a strong, lightweight body and a powerful engine that functions at high temperature …

Electrodeposited metal matrix composite coatings (MMCs) often exhibit superior surface
characteristics including corrosion resistance in a wide range of temperatures, improved …

The friction and wear performance of pure poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) and zirconium
oxide (ZrO 2) filled PMMA composites were realized under dry sliding conditions. Wear tests …

In this work, the tribological performance of PTFE filled SiO 2 particles–epoxy composites is
investigated. Under a load of 60 N (~ 140 MPa contact pressure), the optimum content of …

Epoxies in the form of bulk and coatings have been used throughout the years for a wide
spectrum of applications in industries. However, the application of epoxies in demanding …

The diffusion of monomerically thin nanorods in polymer melts is studied by molecular
dynamics simulations. We focus on the systems where the chains are long enough to screen …

Nickel-ZnO nanocomposite coatings were fabricated by pulse electrodeposition in an
alkaline bath. The effect of different deposition parameters such as current density, duty …

Among carbon fillers, carbon fiber is considered to be an ideal reinforcement for epoxy
because of its outstanding electrical, mechanical, and thermal features. Several inorganic …
