Effect of Cutting Parameters on The Surface Roughness of MWCNT Reinforced Epoxy Composite Using End-Milling Process

Harii Krishna Rao G., Ansari M.N.M., Universiti Tenaga Nasional, MY

In this paper, the preparation and casting of sample composite, machining parameters and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) reinforced epoxy composites were discussed. Structurally, MWCNTs consist of multiple layers of [...]

Starch/MWCNT/Epoxy Composites for Biodegradable Batteries

Ansari M.N.M., Shanks R.A., Kong I., Universiti Tenaga Nasional, MY

Currently, the vast majority of plastics are made from petroleum-based synthetic polymers that do not degrade in a natural environment and their disposal poses a serious problem. An environmentally-conscious alternative is to design polymer nanocomposites [...]

Poly(Lactic Acid) Hemp Composites Combined with Nano-Silica

Mustapa I.R., Ansari M.N.M., Shanks R.A., Universiti Tenaga Nasional, MY

An important issue for all composites is reduction of creep. The reinforcing fibers dramatically reduce creep, however nano-composites can improve tensile properties and toughness. The aim of this work is to prepare and characterize PLA [...]

Cellulose Fiber and Nano-Fiber Composites based on Castor Oil-Polyurethane Matrix

Ansari M.N.M., Shanks R.A., Universiti Tenaga Nasional, MY

The bimodal combination of cellulose fibre dimensions resulted in complementary properties from the same chemical composition. The nano-cellulose fibers provided thixotropy to the castor oil based reactants. The composites exhibited strength, toughness and a modulus [...]
