Publication Geometrical analysis of 3d integrated woven fabric reinforced core sandwich composites(Inst Chemical Fibres, 2019-01-01) Jabbar, Abdul; Zubair, Muhammad; Karahan, Mehmet; KARAHAN, MEHMET; Karahan, Nevin; KARAHAN, NEVİN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Teknik Bilimler Meslek Yüksekokulu.; 0000-0001-6900-4147; 0000-0003-3915-5598; 0000-0003-2362-517X; JQW-3721-2023; AAK-4298-2021; JON-7556-2023; O-2447-2015The variability of the internal geometry parameters, such as the waviness of yarns, cross sections of yarns and local fibre volume fraction of 3-dimensional (3D) integrated woven core sandwich composites affects their mechanical properties. The objective of this study was to define the geometrical and structural parameters of 3D integrated woven core sandwich composites, including the fold ratio of pile threads, the fabric areal weight and the fib re volume fraction by changing the core thickness of 3D sandwich core fabric. 3D fabrics with different core thicknesses were used for reinforcement. It was confirmed that the pile fold ratio, slope angle and pile length increase with an increase in the core thickness of the fabric. The difference between the calculated and experimental areal weights of fabrics was in the range of 5-13%. A novel approach was also presented to define the fibre volume fraction of 3D woven core sandwich composites.Publication Multi-response optimisation for the development of an activated carbon web as interlining for higher electrical conductivity and emi shielding using grey relational analysis(Inst Chemical Fibres, 2021-01-01) Naeem, M. Salman; Ahmad, Naseer; Javed, Zafar; Jabbar, Abdul; Rehman, Ateeq Ur; Zubair, Muhammad; Gilani, Syed Qummer Zia; Ahmad, Zuhaib; Karahan, Mehmet; KARAHAN, MEHMET; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Teknik Bilimler Meslek Yüksekokulu.; AAK-4298-2021This paper presents a simple and novel method of producing an activated carbon (AC) non-woven web from acrylic waste derived fin discarded bathmats converted into a nonwoven web by a caidingand needle punching machine. After stabilisation at lower temperature, carbonisation of the stabilised web was performed in a muffle furnace. The carbonisation temperature, the holding time of the activated carbon web at the final temperature, the heating rate to reach the final carbonisation temperature and the number of steps adopted for developing the carbon web were optimised using the grey relational analysis (GRA) approach to get optimum responses of the surface area of the web, electrical conductivity and electromagnetic shielding. The results demonstrated a large improvement in electrical conductivity as surface resistivity decreasedfrom 134.21 Omega.mm to 0.28 Omega.mm, and the corresponding electromagnetic shielding increased to 82.63 dB when the temperature of the carbonisation, the holding time and number of steps were increased. The surface area in the AC web was increased from 73 m(2)g(-1) to 210 m(2)g(-1) with an increase in the carbonisation temperature, the holding time and number of steps to reach thefinal temperature. The optimisation technique used in this work could be successfully used in cost and error reduction while producing an AC web. The optimised AC web was characterised by Brunauer; Emmett and Teller (BET), X-ray diffraction characterisation and elemental analysis (EDX) in order to determine changes in its structure, surface area, degree of crystallinity, inter-layer spacing and proportion of different elements. The AC web developed can be effectively employed as interlining in apparels because of its flexibility and eco-friendly electromagnetic shielding, as it works on the principle of the absorption, reflections and internal reflections of electromagnetic radiations.
