Small strain mechanical properties of latex-based acrylic nanocomposite films

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, John Christopher Plummer

A waterborne latex-based technique has been used to prepare acrylic films with laponite contents up to about 25 vol%. The laponite was attached to the surfaces of the latex particles, giving a cellular arrangement of laponite-rich regions at high laponite ...

Fracture mechanisms in polystyrene/laponite nanocomposites prepared by emulsion polymerization

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, John Christopher Plummer

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used to investigate the effect of laponite clay on microdeformation in thin latex-based polystyrene (PS) films, in which the laponite was concentrated at the original interfaces between the PS particles. At r ...

Sulfur as pollutant species on the cathode side of a SOFC system

Jan Van Herle, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Josef Andreas Schuler

Sulfur poisoning in a strontium doped lanthanum cobaltite (LSC) cathode current collection layer was revealed in a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) tested in repeat-element and stack configuration. Sources of sulfur contamination, other than trace SOx in air, ...

Assessment of the rheological properties of asphalt rubber binder and its residual phases

André-Gilles Dumont, Mehdi Ould Henia

The asphalt rubber blends design is an empirical procedure and is quite sensitive to the variability of the components properties. A better understanding of the physical phenomenon involved during the curing process is a prerequisite step to propose a rati ...
