Compatibilization of polymer blends by shear pulverization

Author: Ojijo, Vincent O ; Kesavan Pillai, Sreejarani Date: 2020 Solid-state shear pulverization (SSSP) is a relatively new high-pressure and shear deformation technique, which relies on mechanochemical reactions between polymer chains in solid state. One of it applications is in the compatibilization of ... Read more
Impact of melt-processing strategy on structural and mechanical properties: Clay-containing polypropylene nanocomposites

Author: Morajane, D ; Ray, Suprakas S ; Sinha Roy, Jayita ; Ojijo, Vincent O Date: Feb 2018 Processing conditions (e.g., temperature profile, feed point, screw speed, feed rate, and screw element configuration) and how nanocomposites are prepared in the extruder have a vital effect on the dispersion of nanoclay. The resultant ... Read more
Improving wear resistance of polyolefins

Author: Ojijo, Vincent O ; Sadiku, ER Date: Jun 2017 This chapter discusses the strategies employed in enhancing the wear performance of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). A brief overview of the polyolefins, their structure, and tribological characteristics and applications is presented. ... Read more
Introduction to nanomaterials and polymer nanocomposite processing

Author: Ojijo, Vincent O ; Sinha Ray, Suprakash Date: Feb 2018 Polymer nanocomposites are a relatively new class of material containing components with at least one dimension less than 100 nm. This chapter provides an introduction to these polymer nanocomposites and their relationship to microcomposites. ... Read more
Poly(Butylene Succinate) and Poly[(Butylene Succinate)-co-Adipate] Nanocomposites

Author: Ojijo, Vincent O ; Ray, Suprakas S Date: 2012 In the recent years, biodegradable aliphatic polyesters-based composite materials have attracted substantial interest, primarily due to their sustainable production, use and end-life. This chapter discusses the preparation, characterisation, ... Read more
Processing nanocomposites based on engineering polymers: Polyamides and polyimides

Author: Ojijo, Vincent O ; Ray, Suprakas S Date: Oct 2018 Although polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) are now a relatively well-established technology, nanoparticles (NPs) such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene are opening up new application areas in engineering PNCs. Therefore, research and ... Read more
Processing thermoset-based nanocomposites

Author: Ojijo, Vincent O ; Ray, Suprakas S Date: Oct 2018 This chapter provides a brief overview on the processing methods and structure-property relationships of polylactide, polyhydroxybutyrate, and starch nanocomposites as well as the challenges faced in their development, in order to further the ... Read more
The use of plastic waste in road construction

Author: Mturi, George AJ ; O’Connell, Johan S ; Akhalwaya, Imraan ; Ojijo, Vincent O ; Mofokeng, Tladi G ; Ncolosi, Nonzwakazi ; Smit, Michelle A Date: Dec 2021 Recycled plastics are being investigated worldwide not only as a green investment, but also for improved pavement durability (Milad et al., 2020). The objectives of the study were to screen, evaluate and implement existing international ... Read more
