Increasing number of motor vehicles together with economic development brings serious air pollution problems. Especially, Particle Matter emissions from Internal Combustion Engines are difficult to control and highly dangerous for human hea…

The study presents the tribological behavior of epoxy matrix composites containing two different fillers. Hybrid composites were produced with casting method. The composites contains fillers with different particle sizes (<90µm and in the r…

In this study, in an effort to develop polymer matrix composite materials, especially to be employed as workbench and kitchen bench usage, powdered waste porcelain was used as a filler to form satisfactory mechanical properties together wit…

Diesel engines have been preferable engines for heavy, medium and light duty vehicle applications due to their superior performance and fuel economy. However, concerns with their emissions, which are highly toxic air pollutants, put some li…

Many well-known material structures, such as metals, ceramics or polymers, cannot meet all the technological demands. For this reason, there is ongoing research into new materials with advanced features. A composite material is consisting o…

Superhydrophobic surfaces and materials received great attention of scientists and engineers due to their unwetting, self cleaning and antimicrobial properties. Hydrophobic surfaces are defined as having sessile water drop contact angle gre…
