Development of hydrophobic thermoplastic starch composites
… of starch-based polymers is limited due to poor mechanical properties. However, it is improved with forming a biocomposite of thermoplastic starch (TPS) as matrix and the cellulose fibers (CF) as reinforcement. The surface of cellulose fibers is successfully modified using the air plasma …

Structural Changes and Chain Mobility During Processing of Bloodmeal-Based Thermoplastics
… dodecyl sulphate, water and tri-ethylene glycol. Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to investigate thermal transitions and chain relaxation, accompanied by synchrotron based Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) to investigate …

Hybrid Carbon Fiber/ZnO Nanowires Polymeric Composite for Stuctural and Energy Harvesting Applications
… of carbon fibers utilizing low temperature hydrothermal synthesis technique prior to the hybrid composite fabrication. The scanning electron microscopy revealed that the ZnO nanowires were grown uniformly on the surface of the carbon fabric. The surface grown ZnO NWs functionally-graded the …
