Study Analysis of Nano Particle based Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP) Composites
Abstract: Utilization of Fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) composites for development of new and modification of already present structures has increased largely in the past few decades. Fiber Reinforced Polymer composites have many qualities like corrosion resistant, longer life time, less weight, specific stiffness and high strength, are effortlessly built, and can be custom-made to fulfill execution prerequisites [1]. Fiber Reinforced Polymer composites are ordinarily manufactured utilizing a polymer framework, for example, …

Polymer-Based Transparent Conductive Composites for Flexible Solar Panel Coatings
Abstract: This study investigates the fabrication and characterization of polymer-based transparent conductive composites (PTCCs) tailored for flexible solar panel coatings using poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) matrices reinforced with silver nanowires (AgNWs), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), and PEDOT:PSS. The composites were synthesized through a solution blending and doctor-blade casting method followed by post-treatments to enhance interfacial bonding and conductivity. Optical transmittance values above 85% were achieved across all composite …

Performance Enhancement of COC-Modified LLDPE Films: Optimization of Stiffness, Tear Resistance, and Barrier through Plasma Surface Modification
Abstract: This study explores the development of high-performance packaging materials by blending commodity Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) with engineering cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) as a performance modifier. To leverage the processability of LLDPE alongside the structural rigidity of COC, blends were prepared at various weight ratios (95/05, 90/10, 85/15, and 80/20) using twin-screw melt extrusion, followed by the production of films and sheets via blown film extrusion and compression molding. The …
