Characterization of light weight composite proppants

The research objectives are to develop experimental and computational techniques to characterize and to study the influence of polymer coating on the mechanical response of walnut shell particles to be used as proppants. E3-ESEM and Zeiss Axiophot LM are used to study the cellular microstructure and...
