Aspect Ratio Requirements for Nanotube-Reinforced, Polymer-Matrix Composites

Creator:: Nairn, J. A.
Abstract:: A fiber’s efficiency in a short-fiber composite can be accurately solved by shear-lag methods, which can account for fiber geometry, an imperfect interface (or interphase), and extend to low volume fractions. Such an analysis was used to evaluate the aspect ratio requirements for single-walled nanotubes (SWNT) in a polymeric composite...

Regenerating white spruce, paper birch, and willow in south-central Alaska

Creator:: Cole, E. C., Newton, Michael, and Youngblood, A.
Abstract:: The current spruce bark beetle (Dendroctonus rufipennis Kirby) epidemic in interior Alaska is leaving large expanses of dead spruce with little spruce regeneration. Many of these areas are habitat for moose (Alces alces). To establish spruce regeneration and improve browse production for moose, paper birch (Betula papyrifera Marsh), willow (Salix...

Patterns of fungal attack in wood-plastic composites following exposure in a soil block test

Creator:: Mankowski, Mark and Morrell, Jeffrey J.
Abstract:: The ability of white and brown rot fungi to colonize wood-plastic composites was investigated by measuring weight loss and anatomical changes. Three composite materials were evaluated. The material containing a 70/30 wood-high density polyethylene (HDPE) mixture was most susceptible to fungal attack, while two different 50/50 wood-HDPE composites experienced little...
