Author:Das, K; Ray, Suprakas S; Chapple, Stephen A; Wesley-Smith, JDate:May 2013Boehmite alumina (BAl) was investigated in terms of its use as an filler to improve the inherent properties of polylactide (PLA). Composites of PLA with different loadings of BAl were prepared by melt-blending. Morphological analysis using ...Read more
Author:Ogunniran, ES; Sadiku, R; Ray, SS; Luruli, NDate:Dec 2011Boehmite alumina nanoparticles are added to PP-g-MAH-compatibilized blends of PA 12 and PP to study the effects of nanoparticle loading in the resulting composites. WAXD and SEM data suggest that the nanoparticles enhanced the coalescence of ...Read more
