Surface Behavior of Polyamide 6 Modified by Barrier Plasma in Oxygen and Nitrogen
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2014 , Article)
Polyamide (PA) 6 was modified by diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge (DCSBD) plasma in an atmosphere of nitrogen and oxygen. The surface roughness decrease of PA 6 was detected by AFM and nano-indentation after ...
Chemically synthesized carbon nanorods with dual polarized emission
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
We realized the synthesis of carbon nanorods—monodisperse colloidal particles with a length of 50 nm and a width of 20 nm—which can be considered an addition to the family of light-emitting carbon-based nanostructures. ...
Electrically conductive electrospun polymeric mats for sensing dispersed vegetable oil impurities inwastewater
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
This paper addresses the preparation of electrically conductive electrospun mats on a base of styrene-isoprene-styrene copolymer (SIS) and multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and their application as active sensing elements ...
Electrospun Copolyamide Mats Modified by Functionalized Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
In this article, we report the preparation and properties of electro-conductive mats based on the commercial copolyamide (Vestamelt X1010) and multiwall carbon nanotubes functionalized by amino groups. Vestamelt X1010 is ...
Preparation of progressive antibacterial LDPE surface via active biomolecule deposition approach
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
The use of polymers in all aspects of daily life is increasing considerably, so there is high demand for polymers with specific properties. Polymers with antibacterial properties are highly needed in the food and medical ...
Modulation of wettability, gradient and adhesion on self-assembled monolayer by counterion exchange and pH
(
Academic Press Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
In this study, two quaternary ammonium salts derived from L-lipoic acid were applied for self-assembled monolayers formation on rough structured gold surface. The derivatives differ in functionality since one possesses ...
Surface modification of polyethylene/graphene composite using corona discharge
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2018 , Article)
Polyethylene/graphene composites are suitable for electromagnetic interference shielding applications and are often fabricated as sandwich structures. However, the hydrophobic character of these composites can lead to ...
Superhydrophobic Polyester/Cotton Fabrics Modified by Barrier Discharge Plasma and Organosilanes
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
In this paper, diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge plasma at atmospheric pressure has been used for surface modification of polyester/cotton (PESc) fabric, which was subsequently modified by sol–gel process using ...
Piezoelastic PVDF/TPU nanofibrous composite membrane: Fabrication and characterization
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Poly (vinylidene fluoride) nanofibers (PVDF NFs) have been extensively used in energy harvesting applications due to their promising piezoresponse characteristics. However, the mechanical properties of the generated fibers ...
Investigation of the temperature-relatedwear performance of hard nanostructured coatings deposited on a s600 high speed steel
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Thin hard coatings are widely known as key elements in many industrial fields, from equipment for metal machining to dental implants and orthopedic prosthesis. When it comes to machining and cutting tools, thin hard coatings ...
