Effect of fibre treatments on mechanical properties of flax/tannin composites

Zhu, Jinchun; Zhu, Huijun; Abhyankar, Hrushikesh; Njuguna, James (Cranfield University Press, 2013-09-19)

Due to the inherent environmental benefits of using natural resin (tannin) and natural fibre (flax), flax/tannin composites could be potentially used for vehicle applications. One of the main limitations is the hydrophilic ...
The effect of temperature changes on to quasi-static tensile and flexural performance of glass fibre reinforced PA66 composites

Butterworth, Ian; Abhyankar, Hrushikesh; Westwood, Keith; Njuguna, James; Brighton, James; Mouti, Zakaria (Cranfield University Press, 2013-09-19)

A significant method of reducing CO2 emissions in road vehicles is to reduce the vehicle mass. One means in which this can be achieved is to adopt lightweight materials such as thermoplastic composites. Thermoplastics offer ...
Mechanical properties of three-phase polyamide 6 nanocomposites

Gendre, Laura; Abhyankar, Hrushikesh; Njuguna, James; Ermini, Valentina (Cranfield University Press, 2013-09-19)

This work focus on the mechanical properties of three-phase nanocomposites using multiscale reinforcements. The influence of the nano-fillers content, as well as the temperature were studied. Polyamide-6 reinforced with ...
