Polymeric materials having good mechanical properties combined with flexibility are requirements to meet changing needs of the industry. These requirements can be met with the production of dynamically vulcanized/crosslinked ...

In this work were investigated the morphological, themal and rheological properties of a isotactic polypropylene/ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer rubber/nanoclay Cloisite 15A composite, prepared by mixed melt and submitted ...

The excellent cost-weigh-performance relationship of polymeric composites compared to traditional materials became a reason to development of advanced materials for structural application such as carbon/epoxy composites, ...

In this work, flake and post-condensed PET composites of different glass fiber contents (0, 20, 30 and 40%) were prepared. Tow kinds of fibers were employed: one fiber having an amino silane-based surface treatment and ...

The incorporation and encapsulation of fertilizers in polymers blends are methods that can be used to reduce losses and to minimize environmental pollution. In this work, blends of Soy Protein Isolate (SPI) and Polylactide ...

The automotive industry is responsible for a large share of the of the global market consumption of polymeric materials, which represent today the second predominant material in vehicles. Polymers combine properties such ...
