Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Composite material
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Polymer

Composite material, Ultimate tensile strength, Composite number, Sugar and Flexural strength are his primary areas of study. Composite material is represented through his Kenaf, Epoxy, Izod impact strength test, Fiber and Scanning electron microscope research. As a member of one scientific family, S.M. Sapuan mostly works in the field of Ultimate tensile strength, focusing on Young's modulus and, on occasion, Polypropylene.

His Composite number research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Moisture and Deflection. His Sugar research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cellulose and Starch. The Starch study combines topics in areas such as Thermoplastic, Polymer, Absorption of water and Plasticizer, Chemical engineering.

His most cited work include:

  • Natural fiber reinforced polymer composites in industrial applications: feasibility of date palm fibers for sustainable automotive industry (361 citations)
  • Mechanical properties of hybrid kenaf/glass reinforced epoxy composite for passenger car bumper beam (235 citations)
  • Material screening and choosing methods: A review (227 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His main research concerns Composite material, Composite number, Ultimate tensile strength, Fiber and Sugar. His Composite material research focuses on Flexural strength, Kenaf, Epoxy, Natural fiber and Izod impact strength test. The study incorporates disciplines such as Thermogravimetric analysis, Structural engineering, Glass fiber and Polymer in addition to Composite number.

His biological study deals with issues like Absorption of water, which deal with fields such as Swelling and Thermal stability. S.M. Sapuan interconnects Cellulose and Starch in the investigation of issues within Sugar. His Starch research incorporates themes from Plasticizer, Chemical engineering, Biopolymer and Thermoplastic.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Composite material (61.80%)
  • Composite number (29.97%)
  • Ultimate tensile strength (27.02%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Composite material (61.80%)
  • Composite number (29.97%)
  • Ultimate tensile strength (27.02%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

S.M. Sapuan focuses on Composite material, Composite number, Ultimate tensile strength, Fiber and Starch. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Sugar and Composite material. His Composite number study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Fibre-reinforced plastic, Thermogravimetric analysis, Glass fiber, Stiffness and Anisotropy.

His research investigates the link between Ultimate tensile strength and topics such as Sonication that cross with problems in Moisture resistance. His Fiber study incorporates themes from Crystallinity, Kevlar and Polymer. His Starch research includes themes of Nanocellulose, Absorption of water, Biopolymer, Essential oil and Chemical engineering.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Transparent and antimicrobial cellulose film from ginger nanofiber (78 citations)
  • Sugar palm (Arenga pinnata [Wurmb.] Merr) starch films containing sugar palm nanofibrillated cellulose as reinforcement: Water barrier properties (63 citations)
  • The Preparation Methods and Processing of Natural Fibre Bio-polymer Composites. (36 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Composite material
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Polymer

S.M. Sapuan mostly deals with Composite material, Composite number, Ultimate tensile strength, Chemical engineering and Cellulose. His study in the field of Fiber, Absorption of water and Glass fiber also crosses realms of Chemical substance. S.M. Sapuan combines subjects such as Flexural strength, Epoxy, Crystallinity and Polymer with his study of Fiber.

His research integrates issues of Fibre-reinforced plastic, Fire extinguisher, Construction engineering, Engineering design process and Anisotropy in his study of Composite number. His studies in Ultimate tensile strength integrate themes in fields like Bagasse, Biocomposite, Sonication and Food packaging. His work on Nanocomposite is typically connected to Biodegradation as part of general Chemical engineering study, connecting several disciplines of science.
