Multiscale Method for Estimating the Thermal Properties of Sandwich Materials Using Infrared Thermography

Characterizing the thermal properties of sandwich materials remains complex because it demands a method that can independently analyze both the thin and thick layers within the same sample. We propose combining flash and step thermography methods with analytical modeling based on...

From straw waste to circular composites: A systematic comparison of untreated fillers in PBS, PBAT and their blends through performance, morphology and sustainability assessment

In this study, wheat straw (WS) and rice straw (RS) were added up to 30 wt% in maleic anhydride grafted polybutylene succinate (PBS) and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) using a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. Injection molded samples were analyzed using tensile, f...
