Choong, G. Y., De Focatiis, D. S., & Hassell, D. G. (in press). Viscoelastic melt rheology and time-temperature superposition of polycarbonate – multi-walled carbon nanotube nanocomposites. Rheologica Acta, 52(8), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00397-013-0706-6

This work investigates the linear and non-linear viscoelastic melt rheology of four grades of polycarbonate melt-compounded with 3 wt% Nanocyl NC7000 multi-walled carbon nanotubes and of the matching matrix polymers. Amplitude sweeps reveal an earlie... Read More about Viscoelastic melt rheology and time-temperature superposition of polycarbonate – multi-walled carbon nanotube nanocomposites.

Time-temperature equivalence in the tack and dynamic stiffness of polymer prepreg and its application to automated composites manufacturing (2013)
Journal Article
Crossley, R. J., Schubel, P. J., & De Focatiis, D. S. (2013). Time-temperature equivalence in the tack and dynamic stiffness of polymer prepreg and its application to automated composites manufacturing. Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 52, 126-133. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesa.2013.05.002

A recently developed peel test designed to simulate the automated tape lay-up (ATL) process was used to measure tack and dynamic stiffness of newly developed ATL prepregs. Resin was extracted from the prepreg process before impregnation of the fibres...
