Solvent Uptake of Liquid Rubber Toughened Epoxy/Clay Nanocomposites
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Carboxyl-terminated poly (butadiene-co-acrylonitrile) (CTBN) liquid rubber toughened epoxy (epoxy/CTBN blend) and CTBN-toughened epoxy/clay nanocomposites (epoxy/clay/CTBN nanocomposites) were prepared, and solvent (acetone) ...
Nanoengineered biomimetic hydrogels for guiding human stem cell osteogenesis in three dimensional microenvironments
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
The ability to modulate stem cell differentiation in a three dimensional (3D) microenvironment for bone tissue engineering in the absence of exogenous pharmaceutical agents such as bone morphogenic protein (BMP-2) remains ...
Eco-Friendly Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Materials from Flexible Reduced Graphene Oxide Filled Polycaprolactone/Polyaniline Nanocomposites
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Hybrid nanocomposites have the unique ability of enhancing material properties due to the existing synergistic effect of the fillers. In this study, the authors report such an eco-friendly hybrid nanocomposite comprising ...
Influence of temperature on the confinement effects of micro and nano level graphite filled poly(isoprene-co-isobutylene) composites
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2016 , Article)
Electrically conducting elastomer composites using nanocarbon fillers have utmost significance in the current scenario of flexible electronics. Though a large number of reports have come out in this topic, the influence ...
Strength optimisation of mortar with CNTs and nanoclays
(
Thomas Telford Services Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This study explores the use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and nanoclays in cement mortars. The paper presents modelling and optimisation of the compressive and flexural strengths of cement mortars containing CNTs and the ...
Electroactive and Optically Adaptive Bionanocomposite for Reconfigurable Microlens
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
This paper introduces an electroactive bionanocomposite based on poly(diethylene glycol adipate) (PDEGA) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). The bionanocomposites were made using CNCs extracted from cotton and by optimizing ...
RGO/Stibnite Nanocomposite as a Dual Anode for Lithium and Sodium Ion Batteries
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
RGO/Sb2S3 nanocomposite has been investigated in this study as a dual anode material for Li- and Na-ion battery applications. The stibnite phase of Sb2S3, and its rGO composite have been obtained from a molecular complex, ...
Electrodeposition of 70-30 Cu-Ni nanocomposite coatings for enhanced mechanical and corrosion properties
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
A copper-nickel alloy (70:30 ratio) was electrochemically deposited and compared to a composite coating incorporating layered silicate platelets to obtain copper-nickel-montmorillonite (MMT). The composite coatings were ...
Poly-carboxylic acids functionalized chitosan nanocarriers for controlled and targeted anti-cancer drug delivery
(
Elsevier Masson SAS
, 2016 , Article)
The present study evaluates the in-vitro cisplatin (CDDP) release from four different poly oxalates cross-linked chitosan (CS) nanocomposites. The poly oxalates were synthesized from the reaction of four different dicarboxylic ...
Enhancing oil removal from water using ferric oxide nanoparticles doped carbon nanotubes adsorbents
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Oil contaminated water is one of the challenges in water resources management. It is crucial to remove the oil droplets from water in order to meet the discharge regulations set by the environmental authorities. Carbon ...
