Cellulose – Polycarbonate Nanocomposites: A novel automotive window alternative
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-29)Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) has great potential as a reinforcing agent in thermoplastics (such as polyesters, polyamides and polycarbonates) due to its high mechanical strength and aspect ratio – being compared with ... -
Cellulosic Nanocomposites for Advanced Manufacturing: An Exploration of Advanced Materials in Electrospinning and Additive Manufacturing
(University of Waterloo, 2020-02-21)The effects of formulation and processing of thermoplastics and composites containing Nanocrystalline Cellulose (NCC) were explored and characterized for electrospinning and fused deposition modeling 3D printing advanced ... -
Formability of Polycarbonate
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-13)Current thermoplastic processing techniques involve high capital costs for moulds and significant use of energy to melt or soften the materials. Single-step process cold forming techniques, such as stretch forming, could ... -
The Influence of Processing Conditions on the Thermo-physical Properties and Morphology of Polycarbonate / Poly (butylene terephthalate) Blends
(University of Waterloo, 2009-03-12)The objective of this work is to determine the effect of four process variables on the properties of blends composed of bisphenol-A polycarbonate (PC) and poly (butylene terephthalate) (PBT) polymers which are compounded ...
