Dr Michael Ford MIMMM at Haseltine Lake Kempner explores a patent relating to rubber tyres using recycled carbon black.

Papers include a look at hybrid brake pad composites, Polylactic acid nanocomposites for biomedical applications and natural rubber composites for EMI shielding.

The property enhancing capabilities of nanoplatelets and nanocomposites are considered.

Rubber modified asphalt incorporates recycled end-of-life car tyres.

Composite decomposition mechanisms, flame behaviour of polymer composites used in cables, and synthesis, characterisation and pseudocapacitance performance of a nanocomposite.

This issue looks at fibres, thermal degradation and humidity diffusion.

With papers considering Preparation and interfacial properties of functionalised graphene oxide modified carbon fibre/epoxy resin matrix composites, a Comparative study on the impact response of polypropylene and epoxy matrix composites with respect to the plate thickness, and runner reservoir effect on optical properties of small high-precision plastic injection moulded parts.

Including a letter to readers and a publishers note, this issue looks at recycled polypropylene, fused filament fabrication and rigid polyurethane foam.

Papers in this issue include Thermal and mechanical properties of carbon-based rubber nanocomposites: a review, Flexural behaviour modelling of carbon/epoxy laminates using the puck-EWM approach and Effect of surface modification and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on thermal properties of PMMA/SWCNT nanocomposites.
