Quantifying nanoparticle dispersion
Application of the Delaunay network for objective analysis of sample micrographs
Measuring quantitatively the nanoparticle dispersion of a composite material requires more than choosing a particular parameter and determining its correspondence to good and bad dispersion. It additionally requires anticipation of the measure's behaviour towards imperfect experi

The toughness of epoxy polymers and fibre composites modified with rubber microparticles and silica nanoparticles (Journal of Materials Science (2010) 45 (1193-1210)
The present paper considers the general mechanical, fracture and cyclic-fatigue properties of four different epoxy polymers containing various concentrations of well-dispersed silica nanoparticles. Firstly, it was found that, for any given epoxy polymer, their Youngs modulus stea

The present paper investigates the effect of adding silica nanoparticles to an anhydride-cured epoxy polymer. The formation of 'hybrid' epoxy polymers, containing both silica nanoparticles and carboxyl-Terminated butadiene-Acrylonitrile (CTBNrubber microparticles, is also discuss

The present paper considers the mechanical and fracture properties of four different epoxy polymers containing 0, 10 and 20wt.% of well-dispersed silica nanoparticles. Firstly, it was found that, for any given epoxy polymer, their Young's modulus steadily increased as the volume

Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) is an important nonpolio enterovirus that causes severe neurological complications. In 1998, Taiwan experienced an EV-A71 outbreak that caused 78 deaths. Since then, periodic epidemics of EV-A71 associated with newly emerging strains have occurred. Severa

The present paper investigates the effect of adding silica nanoparticles to an anhydride-cured epoxy polymer in bulk and when used as the matrix of carbon- and glass-fibre reinforced composites. The formation of 'hybrid' epoxy polymers, containing both silica nanoparticles and ca
