Mechanical Characteriztion of XD-Grade Carbon Nanotube/Epon 862 Processed by Dual Phase Dispersion Technique

Hossain M.K., Okoro C., Hosur M., Jeelani S., Rangari V., Tuskegee University, US

In this research, a dual-phase dispersion method is studied combining a high intensity ultrasonic liquid processor with a three roll milling technique. Xd-grade carbon nanotubes (xd-CNTs) were infused into Epon 862 epoxy and then mixed [...]

Durability Study of Nanophased Jute-Based Green Composites

Hossain M.K., Dewan M.W., Hosur M., Jeelani S., Tuskegee University, US

Jute fiber reinforced biopol biocomposites with and without nanoclay were manufactured using treated and untreated jute fibers by a compression molding process and their durability study was performed using standard moisture absorption and flexure tests [...]

Surface Modification and Performance Analysis of Jute Based Nanophased Green Composite

Hossain M.K., Dewan M.W., Hosur M., Jeelani S., Rangari V., Tuskegee University, US

The surface modification of jute fibers was accomplished by performing subsequent chemical treatments such as detergent washing, dewaxing, alkali and acetic acid treatment. The morphology of the modified surface was examined using the scanning electron [...]

Fabrication and Thermomechanical Characterization of CNF-Filled Polyester and E-Glass/Polyester Nanophased Composites

Hossain M.E., Hossain M.K., Hossain M.E., Hossain M.K., Hosur M., Jeelani S., Rangari V., Tuskegee University, US

A high intensity ultrasonic liquid processor was used to infuse CNFs into the polyester matrix which was then mixed with catalyst using a high speed mechanical agitator. Results showed the significant improvement of mechanical properties [...]

High Strain Rate Compression Behavior of Conventional and CNF-Filled-Nanophased Glass/Polyester Composites

Hossain M.E., Hossain M.K., Hossain M.E., Hossain M.K., Hosur M., Jeelani S., Rangari V., Tuskegee University, US

A high intensity ultrasonic liquid processor was used to infuse carbon nanofibers (CNFs) into polyester matrix that was then mixed with hardener using a high speed mechanical agitator. The trapped air and reaction volatiles were [...]
