Comparative study of wear performance of particulate and fiber-reinforced nano-ZnO/ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene hybrid composites using response surface methodology

Predictive models for physical and mechanical properties of Ti6Al4V produced by Selective Laser Melting

“…The significance of the independent variables to the response is dependent on the regression coefficients in the equation. A higher value of a regression coefficient directly corresponds to a higher effect of this independent variable to the response [21]. From the shear strength model it is possible to conclude that scan speed shows the highest regression coefficient absolute value.…”

Application of Design of Experiment (DoE) for Parameters Optimization in Compression Moulding for Flax Reinforced Biocomposites

“…5 Traditonally, most researchers follow the classical experimental method where by changing one parameter at a time while keeping others factors at fixed level. 6,7 However, due to its time-consuming nature and cost issues, response surface methodology (RSM) have been identified to be efficient statistical tool because of less number of experiments required, thus experiments are faster and more effective. 2,6,8 Although, a considerable amount of literature has been published on applying RSM on compression moulding process however optimisation of compression moulding process for flax fiber reinforced PLA has not been reported yet.…”

In this works, the Box Behnken design approach was employed on woven flax/PLA aiming improve the mechanical properties through optimization series of the compression moulding factors via Minitab16.…”

Strong yellow emission of ZnO hollow nanospheres fabricated using polystyrene spheres as templates

“…Due to its good conductivity, high transparency and strong luminescence, ZnO shows huge potential application as transparent electrodes in solar cells and light emitting device applications [2][3][4][5]. ZnO can also be used in polyethylene and polyester hybrid composites to improve the performance of composites [6,7]. ZnO can be synthesized with various morphologies, such as nanoparticles [8], nanoflowers [9,10], nanoneedles [11], and nanorods [12] ZnO hollow nanospheres [13,14] have also attracted much attention because of their lower densities, higher surface areas, and distinct optical attributes as compared to their bulk solids, which may have promising applications in photocatalysts, photonic crystals, filters, gas sensors, coatings, and capsule agents for drug delivery.…”
