  • RTM processing and electrical performance of carbon nanotube modified epoxy/ fibre composites 
    Reia da Costa, Elisabete F.; Skordos, Alexandros A.; Partridge, Ivana K.; Rezai, Amir (2012-04-30)
    This investigation focuses on nanoparticle filtration in the processing of multiscale carbon and glass fibre composites via resin transfer moulding. Surface modified and unmodified carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were incorporated ...
  • Rubber-toughened epoxy loaded with carbon nanotubes: structure-property relationships 
    Salinas-Ruiz , Maria del Mar; Skordos, Alexandros A.; Partridge, Ivana K. (Springer Science Business Media, 2010-05-01)
    The paper reports on the preparation, structure and properties of ternary thermosetting blends, based on DGEBA epoxy, cured with 3,3′-DDS and modified by the addition of CTBN reactive liquid rubber and/or 0.3wt% of ...
  • Suppressing delaminations in composites across a range of loading modes 
    M’membe, Beene; Yasaee, Mehdi; Hallett, Stephen R.; Partridge, Ivana K. (2017-08-31)
    This study presents two means of achieving high fracture toughness throughout the entire mixed Mode I/II test range, using customised placement of composite and metal Z-pins in hybrid arrays, and novel hybrid metal/composite ...
  • Thermomechanical analysis of a toughened thermosetting system. 
    Zarrelli, M.; Skordos, Alexandros A.; Partridge, Ivana K. (Springer Science Business Media, 2008-03-01)
    The experimental results of viscoelastic mechanical tests, at five different levels of conversion, are reported for a thermoset composite matrix system toughened with an appropriate percentage of a thermoplastic polymer. ...
  • Toward a constitutive model for cure dependent modulus of a high temperature epoxy during the cure 
    Zarrelli, M.; Skordos, Alexandros A.; Partridge, Ivana K. (Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam., 2010-12-31)
    A constitutive model, based on Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts (KWW) equations, was developed to simulate the evolution of the dynamic relaxation modulus during the cure of a "high temperature' epoxy. The basic assumption of ...
  • Tufting of complex composite structures 
    Lombetti, D. M. (Cranfield University, 2015-12)
    This study focuses on the effect of tufting on the mechanical and electrical properties of carbon composites using a variety of tuft materials, such as aramid, steel and copper. Several configurations were investigated ...
