• Heat treated wood–nylon 6 composites 

      Gardner, Douglas J.; Aydemir, Deniz; Kızıltaş, Alper; Erbaş Kızıltaş, Esra; Gündüz, Gökhan (Elsevier, 2014-09-03)
      Heat treatment is a relatively benign modification method that is growing as an industrial process to improve hygroscopicity, dimensional stability and biological resistance of lignocellulosic fillers. There also has ...
    • Influence of micro- and nanonatural fillers on mechanical and physical properties of foamed sma composites 

      Han, Yousoo; Gardner, Douglas J.; Aydemir, Deniz; Kızıltaş, Alper; Gündüz, Gökhan (Taylor & Francis, 2015-03-25)
      This study is to investigate the reinforcing effects of fillers on mechanical and physical properties of foamed styrene-maleic anhydride (SMA) composites. According to the results, the best foaming was determined for ...
    • Morphological characterization of foamed natural filler-reinforced styrene maleic anhydride (SMA) composites 

      Gardner, Douglas J.; Aydemir, Deniz; Kızıltaş, Alper; Han, Yousoo; Gündüz, Gökhan (Springer, 2014-10-04)
      The aim of this study is to investigate the foaming of styrene maleic anhydride (SMA) matrix composites with a physical foaming agent, created during the reactive extrusion of natural fillers and SMA. The effect ...
    • Natural fillers-filled styrene maleic anhydride copolymer composites 

      Gardner, Douglas J.; Aydemir, Deniz; Kızıltaş, Alper; Han, Yousoo; Gündüz, Gökhan (Wood Research, 2015)
      The aim of this study was to determine morphological characterization, mechanical properties and thermal stability of natural fillers-filled styrene maleic anhydride (SMA) copolymer composites. SMA and natural fillers ...
    • Thermal analysis of micro- and nano- lignocellulosic reinforced styrene maleic anhydride composite foams 

      Gardner, Douglas J.; Aydemir, Deniz; Kızıltaş, Alper; Han, Yousoo; Gündüz, Gökhan (Taylor & Francis, 2015-03-06)
      The aim of this study was to measure the thermal properties of foamed nano/macro filler–reinforced styrene maleic anhydride (SMA) composites. SMA (66%) as a polymer matrix (10% maleic anhydride content) and various fillers ...
