The polyaniline (PANI) filled with graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) nanocomposites were synthesized by an oxidative aniline polymerization in an acidic medium. The PANI/GNPs nanocomposites were then characterized by using various spectroscopy and imaging tools. It was found that the strong interaction between PANI macromolecules and GNPs flakes is caused by the strong ?-? conjugation between them, as validated by an increase of Id/Ig ratio of PANI/GNPs nanocomposites. As a result, it established a three-fold improvement for the electrical conductivity of PANI/GNPs nanocomposites, due to the larger amount of charge carrier transport at higher GNPs nanofiller loadings (1.00 wt.%). Later, the PANI/GNPs nanocomposites powder was applied to the cotton fabric by integrating it with a rubber paint slurry. Electrical conductivity, antenna gain, return loss, and radiation pattern of the antenna were reported. It was found that PANI/GNPs flexible textile antenna possessed a constant gain of 4.1809 dB, return loss at -13.154 dB, and radiation pattern which operated at 10.36 GHz for 100% improvement of electrical conductivity, in comparison with unfilled PANI. From these findings, it can be said that the development of wearable textile antenna utilizing PANI/GNPs nanocomposites on the cotton fabric as flexible radiation patch, has great potential for wireless communication purposes.","PeriodicalId":419270,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Journal on Composites Science and Manufacturing","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124198643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, thixoforming of semi-solid processing method , which promises a near-net-shape and further enhanced performance of the end products. One of the major concerns is an additional cost in billet feedstock production that slows down the application in industries.

The compounding formulation of the chloroprene rubber compound and coal ash were based on 100 phr of the chloroprene rubber. The loading of waste coal ash were varied at 5, 10, 20, 30 and 40 phr. Waste coal ash exhibits the highest reinforcing property at 40 phr loading. The fatigue test was done to determine the peak stress value and stress softening effect and found that at 5 – 30 phr waste coal ash had a detrimental effect on CR compound while at 40phr, the rubber compound exhibit positive result with an increase of 30% of the peak stress.

Nevertheless, its universal use is restricted by the reduced energy storage capacity and its high crossed series compared to batteries. Even with the relatively high-level output and extensive use of supercapacitor, there is still substantial doubt and ambiguity as to their efficiency in general, especially when it is compared to lithium-ion batteries. The inconsistencies are attributable both to the lack of standardization of the test methods and to the certainty of the strength capacity of the supercapacitor after their resistance has been identified. Therefore, in this work, graphene oxide (GO) and polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposite supercapacitor electrode was fabricated and the performance was investigated by means of cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge analyses. GO was synthesized using improve Hummers method and PANI using oxidative polymerization chemical synthesis. Three different electrode’s compositions were prepared using PANI/GO nanocomposite and labelled as PGO30, PGO50 and PGO70. This article will conclude the electrochemical performance of the electrode. From the results, it was found that PGO50 electrode (50% PANI/50% GO) has the best calculated capacitance with 19.71 F/g compared to the other composite electrodes. This may be attributed from the good electrical conductivity distribution of PANI and graphene oxide. The findings of the work may significantly drive the future of supercapacitor electrode from nanocomposite related materials.","PeriodicalId":419270,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Journal on Composites Science and Manufacturing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130789415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thermally aged NR/EPDM nanocomposites showed higher performance under tensile stress if compared to NR/EPDM blend. The tensile strength and elastic modulus were consistently 40% higher than the strength of the blend. This is due to the reinforcing effects of GNPs and their good interaction with the matrix. The reduction of tensile properties was due to the embrittlement effect and in line with the increase in amorphous phases from the broadening of XRD spectra.

Some research combined CNT with ceramic materials as dual reinforcements in the aluminium matrix to enhance further the mechanical strength of the composite. However, the effects of some fabrication processes on the tube structural integrity of CNT are rather limited. This study is to determine the effects of single and dual reinforcements in Al5Si alloy on the mechanical properties of the composites. The reinforcement particles were pre-distributed by using a ball milling process through powder metallurgy. The mixed was green compacted into a pallet form before injected into a molten Al5Si alloy matrix. The molten composite was stirred before pouring into a permanent mould via a cooling slope. Next, the cast billet was subjected to thixoforming and T6 heat treatment processes. According to the comparison results of the pre-distributed reinforcements, the integrity of CNT structure in dual reinforcements was destroyed due to excessive milling from Al2O3 particles. There was no significant change of microstructures evolution and grain sizes of both composites after the thixoforming and T6 heat treatment. The yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and elongation to fracture of single reinforcement obtained were 316 MPa, 347 MPa, and 13.3%, respectively and much superior than the dual reinforcements. These results show that maintaining the tube structure of CNT is very critical for mechanical strength enhancement through load transfer mechanism of the CNT-Al5Si alloy composite.","PeriodicalId":419270,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Journal on Composites Science and Manufacturing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130103446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
