The degradation of mechanical properties in polymer nano-composites exposed to liquid media - a review (2015)
Journal Article
Saharudin, M., Atif, R., Shyha, I., & Inam, F. (2015). The degradation of mechanical properties in polymer nano-composites exposed to liquid media - a review. RSC Advances, 6(2), 1076-1089. https://doi.org/10.1039/C5RA22620A

The advancement of polymer nano-composites has been motivated by the need for materials with a specific combination of mechanical properties beyond those achieved from only one material. Integration of reinforcement into polymers at nanoscale can pro... Read More about The degradation of mechanical properties in polymer nano-composites exposed to liquid media - a review.

The mechanism by which CH2O and H2O2 additives affect the autoignition of CH4/air mixtures (2015)
Journal Article
Manias, D. M., Tingas, E. A., Frouzakis, C. E., Boulouchos, K., & Goussis, D. A. (2016). The mechanism by which CH2O and H2O2 additives affect the autoignition of CH4/air mixtures. Combustion and Flame, 164, 111-125. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.combustflame

When the fast dissipative time scales become exhausted, the evolution of reacting processes is characterized by slower time scales. Here the case where these slower time scales are of explosive character is considered. This feature allows for the acq...
