Analysis of Water Resistance and Mechanical Performance of Microporous Polyurethane Membrane Laminated Waterproof Breathable Fabrics

Razzaque A., Tesinova P., Technical University of Liberec, CZ

Composite waterproof breathable textile fabric made with membrane must be characterized by better water resistance and simultaneously good possible permeability of water vapour in order to use as protective clothing or sportswear. This paper describes [...]

High-Density Carbon Nanostructured Papers with Superior Conductive and Mechanical Properties

Younes H., Abu Al-Rub R., M. Rahman Md., Dalaq A., Al Ghaferi A., Masdar, AE

The randomly oriented carbon nanotubes have exhibited substantially lower electrical and thermal conductivities than anticipated. In this work high density CNS-based BPs have been fabricated successfully using aligned carbon nanostructure and the anionic surfactant NaDDBS. [...]

Effect of Electron Beam Irradiation on the Tensile Properties of Carbon Nanotube Sheets and Yarns

Williams T.S., Miller S.G., Baker J.S., McCorkle L.S., Meador M.A., NASA Glenn Research Center, US

Carbon nanotube sheets and yarns were irradiated using electron beam (e-beam) energy to determine the effect of irradiation dose on the tensile properties. Results showed that there was very little change in the tensile strength [...]

Material Properties of Polymer Nanoparticle Composites for Micro Optical Applications

Ritzhaupt-Kleissl E., Böhm J., Haußelt J., Hanemann T., Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, DE

Nanosized ceramics, highly dispersed into polymer matrix materials, are widely being discussed for the modification of polymer properties. For applications in microsystem technology, the modification of the polymers’ optical and mechanical properties is of certain [...]
