Raman Spectroscopy for The Determination of Relative Crystallinity of Carbon Fibers
Abstract: Analogous to X-ray diffraction technique, the light scattering technique discovered by Sir CV Raman has great potential in quantifying the crystallinity of new materials, like the highly crystalline pitch based carbon fibers (NX90 and NX100). For comparison the Raman spectra of polyacrylonitrile based carbon fibers (T700SC) were also recorded. From the Raman spectral analysis, it was found that the pitch based carbon fibers exhibit far far higher degree of crystallinity …

Simultaneous Improvement of Mechanical Properties and Thermal Stability of Polyvinyl Chloride Nanocomposite by Magnesium Aluminum-Layered Double Hydroxide
Abstract: The application of nanoclays in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is limited as the organic modifier of conventional nanoclays can degrade PVC. Using usual nanoclays could reduce thermal stability due to the catalytic effects on PVC degradation, so the main chalenge is to find suitable nanoclay for PVC. The effects of two nanoclays, MgAl-layered double hydroxide and alkylammonium-modified montmorillonite, were studied on the mechanical properties of PVC nanocomposites. Dioctyl phthalate (DOP)-plasticized PVC …
