Analysis of rheological behaviour of titanium feedstocks formulated with a water-soluble binder system for powder injection moulding
(Elsevier, 2014-09)Binder selection and formulation are critical in powder injection moulding. Binders play a key role in controlling the rheological properties of a feedstock and influence whether the resulting feedstock can be successfully ... -
Carbonisation of biomass-derived chars and the thermal reduction of a graphene oxide sample studied using Raman spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2013)Chars and carbonised chars were produced from three different oxygen-rich precursors (Pinus radiata wood, Phormium tenax leaf fibres, and sucrose crystals). These non-graphitisable carbons were analysed with Raman spectroscopy ... -
Cellulose nanocrystal treatment of aligned short hemp fibre mats for reinforcement in polypropylene matrix composites
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021)Oriented short hemp fibre mats were produced using dynamic sheet forming (DSF) incorporating cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) to improve their integrity. The CNCs were found to act as a binder and improve mechanical strength ... -
Characterisation of hemp fibre reinforced Poly(Lactic Acid) composites
(Inderscience Enterprises, 2009)In this work, the mechanical properties including tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength and fracture toughness of the PLA/hemp composites were investigated over a range of fibre content (0-30 wt.%). It was ... -
Characterizing the mechanical properties of fused deposition modelling natural fiber recycled polypropylene composites
(MDPI, 2017)The objective of this investigation was to characterize the performance of natural fiber reinforced polypropylene composites in fused deposition modelling (FDM). Composite filaments comprising of pre-consumer recycled ...
