NRF RATING | Y |
POSITION | Associate Professor |
PORTFOLIO | Prof. Mochane uses various reinforcing fillers incorporated into polymer matrices in order to improve the properties of polymers for advanced applications. Fillers such as boron nitride and carbon nanotubes are added into the polymer/paraffin wax blends with the idea of improving properties such as the thermal conductivity, mechanical properties, and thermal stability. Furthermore, natural fibre hybrid biopolymer(s) projects are done with the purpose of producing multifunctional materials for advanced applications. |
AREAS OF EXPERTISE | Green polymer composites Natural fibres Polymer composites and polymer blends Natural fibre/polymer composites Natural fibre hybrid polymer composites |
