This work reports the preparation and characterization of poly(lactic) acid/acrylonitrile butadiene styrene/graphene nanoplatelets/Cloisite C20A montmorillonite (PLA/ABS/GnP/C20A) nanocomposites via melt blending. The clay is hybridized with graphene to increase its dispersion in the polymer matrix. The melt processing temperatures play a vital rol

This paper presents a method to precisely model a four rotor unmanned aerial vehicle, widely known as quadcopter autopilot system. Common system identification methods limit quadcopter models into first or second order systems, and do not count for noise characteristics. This leads to poor prediction accuracy of its longitudinal and lateral motion
