Synthesis of Shear Thickening Fluid Using Sonochemical Method

Rangari V.K., Hassan T.A., Mahfuz H., Jeelani S., Tuskegee University, US

Shear thickening fluid is developed using sonochemical method which one step process and can be processed from its dry metal oxide powder forms instead of its colloidal solution. The main problem with the current process [...]

Improvements in High Specific Strength Epoxy-Based Composites using High Magnetic Fields

Mahfuz H., Zainuddin S., Rangari V.K., Jeelani S., Tuskegee University, US

Numerous studies have been carried out, over a period of several years, on the detection of changes in physical characteristics of polymers subjected to high magnetic fields during the curing stages. Extremely large increases in [...]

Investigation of Thermal and Mechanical Response of Nylon-6 Filaments with the Infusion of Acicular and Spherical Nanoparticles

Mahfuz H., Hasan M.M., Rangari V.K., Jeelani S., Tuskegee University, US

It has been demonstrated in recent years that infusion of nanoparticles in thermoset as well as in thermoplastic polymers can help improve the chemical, thermal, and mechanical properties significantly. The improvement in properties can be [...]
