Compatibilizing role of carbon nanotubes in poly(vinyl alcohol)/starch blend
(
WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
, 2015 , Article)
Polymer nanocomposites based on poly(vinyl alcohol)/starch blend and carbon nanotubes (CNT) were prepared by solution mixing, followed by casting. Glycerol was used as a plasticizer and added in the starch dispersion. The ...
A continuum model with a percolation threshold and tunneling-assisted interfacial conductivity for carbon nanotube-based nanocomposites
(
American Institute of Physics Inc.
, 2014 , Article)
A continuum model that possesses several desirable features of the electrical conduction process in carbon-nanotube (CNT) based nanocomposites is developed. Three basic elements are included: (i) percolation threshold, ...
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 ...
The role of clay modifier on cure characteristics and properties of epoxy/clay/carboxyl-terminated poly(butadiene-co-acrylonitrile) (CTBN) hybrid
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
Epoxy/clay/carboxyl-terminated poly(butadiene-co-acrylonitrile) (CTBN) hybrids were prepared with two different organically modified clays. Octadecyl amine and trimethyl stearyl ammonium-modified nanoclays (Nanomer I.30E ...
Synthesis and characterisation of Ni–B/Ni–P–CeO2 duplex composite coatings
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2018 , Article)
Abstract: Binary (Ni–B, Ni–P) and duplex coatings (Ni–B/Ni–P, Ni–B/Ni–P–CeO2) with an inner Ni–B layer were electrodeposited on mild steel substrates. A comparison of the structural, surface, mechanical, and electrochemical ...
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) ...
Preparation and Preliminary Dielectric Characterization of Structured C60-Thiol-Ene Polymer Nanocomposites Assembled Using the Thiol-Ene Click Reaction
(
MDPI AG
, 2015 , Article)
Fullerene-containing materials have the ability to store and release electrical energy. Therefore, fullerenes may ultimately find use in high-voltage equipment devices or as super capacitors for high electric energy storage ...
Surfactant-aided impregnation of MnF2 into CNT fabrics as cathode material with high electrochemical performance for lithium ion batteries
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
© 2018 Elsevier Ltd MnF2 infiltrated-CNT fabrics was prepared by surfactant-aided impregnation of MnSiF6 precursors in acid-treated CNT fabric followed by annealing MnSiF6-loaded CNT fabric. The structural and morphological ...
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 ...
Microton irradiation induced tuning of dielectric properties of nano ZnO-natural rubber disks
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
The effect of electron beam irradiation of dielectric and conductivity properties of nano ZnO-natural rubber (NR) disks was investigated here. It is revealed that electric properties such as AC conductivity, dielectric ...
