The conductive MWNT filler controls dielectric losses through the formation of a network that allows high complex permittivity at low concentrations.
Variation of mechanical properties was explained by different GnPs loading by weight ratios (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 wt %) between epoxy and filler, controlling with full basalt/epoxy laminates (unfilled).
This work demonstrates methods to fabricate CNT based polymer composites with high loading fractions of the filler, alignment control of nanotubes and optimized erosive wear properties.
The dependency of modulus on these parameters is reasonable, because the properties of polymer and nanoparticles as well as the extent of filler aggregation/agglomeration control the modulus of nanocomposites.
Three types of LFC were prepared, namely (i) LFC with 100% sand filler as control mix (LFC-CM), (ii) LFC with 10% POFA replacement as a part of filler (LFC-PF10) and (iii) LFC with 20% POFA replacement as a part of filler (LFC-PF20).
Other objectives of this study were to compare the effects of HA filler and control on skin complexion, their efficacy self-evaluated by the subjects, and their tolerance.
To reduce the subgrade weight and additional stress, the authors propose the use of lightweight foam concrete as subgrade filler, thereby controlling subgrade settlement in special soil areas.
In this research, we demonstrated that the polymer composites with much improved thermal conductivity while maintaining low electrical conductivity, which could be achieved via using hybrid 2D stacked filler and controlling the alignment of the filler in polymer matrix.
In this study, we demonstrated that polymer composites with much improved dielectric constant while maintaining ultra-low dielectric loss could be achieved via using hybrid filler and controlling the dispersion of conductive filler in polymer matrix.
Special attention is paid to recent advances in controlling the microstructure of polymer composites to achieve high thermal conductivity (novel approaches to control filler orientation, special design of filler agglomerates, formation of continuous filler network by self-assembly process, double percolation approach, etc).
