Morphology, interfacial interaction, and thermal degradation of polycarbonate/MCM-41 (nano)composites
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2017 , Article)
This article reports on the morphology, interfacial interaction, thermal stability, and thermal degradation kinetics of polycarbonate (PC)/mesoporous silica (MCM-41) composites with various MCM-41 contents, prepared by ...
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 ...
Preparation and characterization of EVA/PLA/sugarcane bagasse composites for water purification
(
SAGE Publications
, 2017 , Article)
Poly(lactic acid)/ethylene vinyl acetate blends and poly(lactic acid)/ethylene vinyl acetate/sugarcane bagasse composites were prepared by melt mixing. The lower viscosity of poly(lactic acid), the lower interfacial tension ...
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 ...
Effects of rutile-TiO2 nanoparticles on accelerated weathering degradation of poly(Lactic Acid)
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
The effect of accelerated weathering on poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and a PLA nanocomposite with rutile titanium (IV) dioxide (rutile-TiO2) was investigated. The accelerated weathering test applied consecutive steps of ultraviolet ...
Effect of plasma treatment on accelerated pla degradation
(
BME-PT and GTE
, 2021 , Article)
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) has been found to be important in various applications, such as in the medical, pharma-ceutical, and packaging industries. However, the long-term associated degradation process of PLA is a limiting ...
Generation of photo charge in poly(ethyleneimine)-TiO2-anthocyanin modified papers conditioned at different humidities
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The article describes the influence of humidity on the surface photodielectric properties of papers prepared from poly(ethyleneimine)-TiO2 nanoparticles-anthocyanin modified cellulose fibres. The anthocyanins were extracted ...
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 ...
Influence of TiO2 nanoparticles on the crystallization behaviour and tensile properties of PLA/TiO2, PCL/TiO2 and PLA/PCL/TiO2 nanocomposites.
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Article)
This paper investigated the influence of TiO2 nanoparticles on the morphologies, as well as crystallization behaviour and kinetics, of neat PLA and PCL, and of these polymers in different PLA/PCL blends. We used transmission ...
Magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) for chromatographic separation of carbamates.
(
Wiley
, 2018 , Article)
Magnetic solid phase extraction particles (MSPE) were produced using magnetite nanoparticles with diameters between 9 and 13 nm as nucleating agent. The produced particles with magnetite cores were smaller, and more irregular ...
