Abstract The reduction of the carbon black quantity in elastomeric composites is a massive requirement from environmental perspective and huge challenge for industrial implementation. present work consists replacement half amount with silica without compromising basic properties along ushering superior characteristics fluoroelastomer silicone rubber blends. comparative study black‐silica hybrid filler (1:1 ratio) at different loadings shows much aging behavior thermal stability compared...
In elastomer-based materials, the effect of nanofillers holds utmost significance for preparing high-performance materials. This work introduces eco-friendly sodium alginate (NaAlg) biopolymers functionalized by silica-based natural rubber nanocomposites (ModSi10) to achieve superior chemical and mechanical properties. The structure–property relationship ModSi10 exhibits excellent physicomechanical properties, with an increase in tensile strength 7% elongation at break 11% a 1.9% lower...
Abstract The study presents the preparation of acrylamide grafted fluoroelastomer (FKM‐g‐acrylamide) by melt mixing process and its evaluation as a reactive compatibilizer for (FKM) methyl vinyl silicone rubber (MVQ) blend system (at different compositions) in terms mechanical properties, thermal stability, aging behavior, morphological aspects. Mechanical properties investigation discloses almost 20% increment tensile strength after incorporation 3 parts per hundred FKM‐g‐acrylamide into...
Abstract Graphene nanoplatelet loading is varied in carbon black‐filled nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) to form a hybrid system. The mechanical properties of the system are determined by performing tension and compression tests. It found that graphene nanosheets well dispersed possessing strong interfacial interaction with NBR black. There an increment 9% tensile strength 4 phr without hampering ultimate strain. Further addition resulted degraded properties. Hyperelastic material models...
Abstract In the steam turbine circuit of advanced ultra supercritical power plants dissimilar joints alloy 617 and 10Cr steel are unavoidable due to economic reasons. these diffusional interaction causing change in microstructure is identified as possible reason for failure during service. To investigate interdiffusion driven structural changes, 617/10Cr diffusion couples were fabricated. achieve good metallurgical bond between Fe- Ni-based alloys study transformations under accelerated...
ABSTRACT The contribution of carbon black (CB) on changes in cross-link density (n) and physical entanglement has been quantified by swelling uniaxial stress–strain measurements considering Mooney–Rivlin parameters. Solution SBR (SSBR) vulcanizates with varying content high abrasion furnace (HAF) CB were studied. Rubber–filler networks increase the n values, which determined using Flory–Rehner modified Guth–Gold equations equilibrium study. parameter C1 was n, whereas C2, representing...
Triaxial state of stress experienced by structural components due to complex geometry, discontinuities, or type loading can be studied tensile testing notched specimens. Herein, assessment deformation 316LN austenitic stainless under the uniaxial and triaxial stresses is presented based on finite element (FE) analysis digital image correlation (DIC). To study their effects, notches different root radii are incorporated in flat smooth The strength material increases presence notch. Among...
Abstract The work provides insight into the hyper‐viscoelastic characterization of highly filled rubber compound with low structured carbon black, further examining geometrical defects using finite element (FE) simulations. complete force‐extension behavior and stress relaxation (various strain levels [10%–100%]) in a uniaxial state are reported. extension at break is reduced by more than 42% for geometrically defective specimens. breakage filler–filler interaction attains equilibrium 75%...
Abstract The development of amphiphiles for sustained drug delivery represents a promising approach in biomedical fields. Polymeric self‐assembly with hydrophobic core offers plenty opportunities to encapsulate drugs facilitating targeted the specific sites action. Herein, N ‐Boc tryptophan has been used develop monomer, Boc‐tryptophan‐HEMA (HBT). HBT monomer further grafted on modified alginic acid through RAFT technique synthesize unique amphiphilic copolymer fluorescence characteristics....
