Bicomponent fibres for controlled release of volatile mosquito repellents

Sibanda, Mthokozisi Mayibongwe; Focke, Walter Wilhelm; Braack, L.E.O.; Leuteritz, Andreas; Brünig, Harald; Tran, Nguyen Hoai An; Wieczorek, Florian; Trümper, Wolfgang (Elsevier, 2018-10)

Core-sheath structured fibres were developed for application as part of an alternative malaria vector control intervention aimed at reducing outdoor malaria transmission. The fibres were prepared by melt spinning of high ...
Oxidative degradation of polyolefins in the presence of cupric and ferric stearate additives

De Beer, Jacques A.; Focke, Walter Wilhelm (Wiley, 2019-04)

Ferric stearate‐ and cupric stearate‐containing masterbatches were successfully prepared by reactive extrusion compounding in a twin screw compounder. These prodegradant additives were formed by the reaction of the ...
Understanding the influence of manufacturing and material parameters on the mechanical properties of polymer-clay composites : an exploratory statistical analysis

Botha, Natasha; Coetzer, Roelof; Inglis, Helen Mary; Labuschagne, Johan (American Institute of Physics, 2020)

Polymers are used in various industrial applications due to their ease of production, light weight and ductility. Adding fillers, such as clays, improves a range of thermo-mechanical properties, however manufacturing ...
