A phenomenological constitutive model for the viscoelastic deformation of elastomers (2020)
Journal Article
Annarasa, V., Popov, A. A., & De Focatiis, D. S. A. (2020). A phenomenological constitutive model for the viscoelastic deformation of elastomers. Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials, 24(4), 463-479. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11043-020-09452-2

This study proposes a one-dimensional constitutive model for elastomeric materials based on recent observations regarding the separation of elastic and viscous contributions in uniaxial cyclic tensile experiments on EPDM rubber. The focus is on captu... Read More about A phenomenological constitutive model for the viscoelastic deformation of elastomers.

Challenges to the industrial melt-processing of conductive plastics (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Choong, G. Y. H., De Focatiis, D. S. A., Lidgett, M. J., Thornton, M. J., & Clifford, M. J. Challenges to the industrial melt-processing of conductive plastics. Presented at Proceedings of the Europe/Africa Conference Dresden 2017 – Polymer Processing Society PPS, Dresden, Germany

In this work, we investigate the relationship between the timescales available for polymer mobility during processing and post-processing and the electrical resistivity of melt-processed thermoplastics filled with carbon nanoparticles. Post-process a... Read More about Challenges to the industrial melt-processing of conductive plastics.
