Carbon nanotubes have long been recognized as the stiffest and strongest man-made material known to date. In addition, their high electrical conductivity has roused interest in the area of electrical appliances and communication related... more
Natural abundance, much higher strength per unit weight than most inorganic fillers, lower density and their biodegradable nature make natural fillers attractive as reinforcements of engineering polymer systems. However, certain drawbacks... more
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of improving the tribological properties and thermal conductivity of composites with structural modification of polyamides by the additions of copper and graphite.... more
Tribological properties of polymer materials are traditionally tested on small-scale test rigs because of cost-efficiency and flexibility. For highly loaded applications (eg, sea lock doors, retaining walls, positioning systems) however,... more
Polyimides are used in friction and wear applications because of their high strength and thermal stability up to 310 (short term) or 450 °C (long term). After sintering, secondary transition temperatures do not occur up to the degradation... more

Purpose The prognosis for glioma patients is poor, and development of new treatments is critical. Previously, we engineered polymer-based vaccines that control GM-CSF, CpG-oligonucleotide, and tumor-lysate presentation to regulate immune... more
