Tuning the mechanical integrity and corrosion performance of open-cell copper foams: identification of an optimization threshold

In this work, Porous copper foam samples were fabricated by a space-holder technique with water-atomized copper powder and sodium chloride (NaCl) particles in weight fractions ranging from 10 to 35 wt%. The powders were mechanically mixed at a 10:1 ball-to-powder ratio and 150 rpm for 2 h. The effects of space-holder c...

Sustainable high-performance elastomers: integrating recycled nano WO3 into EPDM for enhanced thermal and chemical properties

Abstract This study presents a comprehensive investigation into the development of sustainable, high-performance elastomeric composites based on ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) reinforced with recycled nano-tungsten oxide (WO3). The work focuses on the effect of using recycled WO3 on enhancing the thermal stabi...
