In this investigation, the characteristics and the rheological properties of two different nanocomposite systems were investigated. These systems consisted of a dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbon nanofibers ...
Sustainable biocomposites based on thermoplastic starch copolymers (Mater-Bi KE03B1) and biofibres (cotton, hemp and kenaf) were prepared and characterised in terms of their thermo-mechanical and morphological properties. ...

The use of nonwoven textile substrates for filtration and absorption purposes is generalized due to the high surface area they can provide. Many of these applications require good wetting properties to increase efficiency. ...
It is a common industrial practice to blend virgin polymer with the same polymer recycled from scrap plastic that, in general, has not undergone relevant degradation. In this article, the influence that incorporating ...
