Microwave Absorption of Multifunctional Graphene Based Polylactide Acid Composites: Experimental and Numerical Study
DownloadFall 2022
Thermoplastic polymer piping is increasingly used in a variety of industries. Thermoplastics permit fusion bonding for the joining of pipe sections, which can be performed using joule heating. However, embedding heating wires into the plastic adds fabrication complexity and expenditure. Moreover,...
