Effect of halloysite nano tubes on the thermal degradation behaviour of PCL/PLA microfibrillar composites
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
This paper reports on the thermal degradation behaviour and kinetics of halloysite nanotubes containing microfibrillated poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) blends. It was found that the nanotubes probably ...
Dynamic mechanical properties of PLA/PHBV, PLA/PCL, PHBV/PCL blends and their nanocomposites with TiO2 as nanofiller
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The effect of blending and the addition of small amounts of TiO2 nanoparticles on the dynamic mechanical properties of PLA/PHBV, PLA/PCL and PHBV/PCL blends is reported in this paper. The storage modulus of the PLA/PHBV ...
Morphology and thermal degradation studies of melt-mixed poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate) (PHBV)/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) biodegradable polymer blend nanocomposites with TiO2 as filler
(
Springer
, 2015 , Article)
The morphology, thermal stability and thermal degradation kinetics of melt-mixed poly(hydroxybutyrateco-valerate) (PHBV)/poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) blends filled with small amounts of titanium(IV)oxide (TiO2) nanoparticles ...
Properties and thermo-switch behaviour of LDPE mixed with carbon black, zinc metal and paraffin wax
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
This paper reports on the presence of wax and radiation-induced crosslinking on the morphology, thermal and mechanical properties, as well as electrical conductivity and thermo-switch properties of LDPE containing ...
Charge-trapping capability and AC conductivity at different humidities of poly(ethyleneimine)-TiO2-anthocyanin modified cellulose fibres.
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Article)
Modified cellulose materials are finding increasing application in electronics, because of the need for more environmental-friendly electronic circuits. The papers prepared from poly(ethyleneimine)–TiO2–anthocyanin-modified ...
Electrospun alginate nanofibres as potential bio-sorption agent of heavy metals in water treatment
(
Budapest University of Technology
, 2017 , Article)
This paper reports on the potential of electrospun alginate nanofibre membranes to be used for the bio-sorption
of heavy metals from aqueous solutions. Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and its blends were electrospun at an ...
The influence of paraffin wax addition on the isothermal crystallization of LLDPE
(
Wiley
, 2016 , Article)
The influence of paraffin wax addition on the isothermal crystallization kinetics of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) was studied in a temperature range where the wax was always in the molten state and could be ...
Nanofibrous alginate membrane coated with cellulose nanowhiskers for water purification
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Article)
The aim of this study was to develop a filtration membrane based on two-layered nanoscale alginate nanofibres reinforced with maize cellulose nanowhiskers (diameter between 3 and 12 nm). Reinforcing of the membrane with ...
Investigation of the physico-mechanical properties of electrospun PVDF/cellulose nanofibers.
(
Wiley
, 2016 , Article)
The electro-activity and mechanical properties of PVDF depends mainly on the b-phase content and degree of crystallinity. In this study, cellulose fibers were used to improve these characteristics. This could be achieved ...
Accelerated weathering effects on poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and PHBV/TiO2 nanocomposites
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
The effect of accelerated weathering on poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and PHBV-based nanocomposites with rutile titanium (IV) dioxide (PHBV/TiO2) was investigated. The accelerated weathering test ...
