Influence of Alkali Treatment and Maleated Polypropylene (MAPP) Compatibilizer on the Dry-Sliding Wear and Frictional Behavior of Borassus Fruit Fine Fiber (BFF)/Polypropylene (PP)... by Sumit Nijjar, P. Sudhakara, Shubham Sharma, Sanjeev Saini, Aklilu Teklemariam, V. Mariselvam, Satheesh Kumar Sampath, J. I. Song

“…The frictional coefficient of T + PP + MAPP possesses better interfacial bonding strength upon NaOH treatment, and coupling agent, which results in enhancement of effective contact surface area and good surface friction characteristics, has been observed under different loading conditions. The fracture mechanism of worn-out portions of BFF/PP composites was studied using high-resolution scanning electron microscopy to analyze various imperfections like debonding, splits, fiber cracks, and wreckage or fragments formation.…”

Ultrasonic assisted stir squeeze casting of AA5456/Al2O3–SiC-Gr-MoS2 hybrid nanocomposites: Microstructure and strengthening analysis by B.N. Akash Deep, S. Rajanna, K.N. Krishnamurthy, G.C. Manjunath Patel, T. Ganesha, G.V. Gnanedra Reddy, Mudassir Hasan, Emanoil Linul

“…Fractography analysis identifies various fracture modes, including ductile, brittle, and fatigue, along with their distinct surface features, providing insights into the fracture mechanisms of the AMMHNCs. The research also examines the primary strengthening mechanisms contributing to the increase in YS, including thermal mismatch, the Orowan effect, the Hall-Petch effect, and load bearing. …”
