Abstract:In this work, thermoplastic natural rubber (TPNR) composites were produced through melt blending method. Boron carbide (B4C) as filler was added into the polymer blend (TPNR) with different weight percent from 0% to 30% and the effect of different B4C contents on mechanical and thermal neutron attenuation properties of TPNR composites has been studied. The phase formation in composites was analyzed using XRD technique. From the results, it showed that the incorporation of B4C fillers into TPNR matrix has enhan… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
