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 ...
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, ...
Striking multiple synergies in novel three-phase fluoropolymer nanocomposites by combining titanium dioxide and graphene oxide as hybrid fillers
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
In this study, novel three-phase polymer nanocomposites comprising of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles and graphene oxide (GO) were prepared using colloidal blending. The PVDF/TiO2/GO ...
Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) based polymer nanocomposite membranes for gas separation
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2012 , Article)
As synthesised ZIF-8 nanoparticles (size ∼ 60 nm and specific surface area ∼ 1300–1600 m2 g−1) were directly incorporated into a model polymer matrix (Matrimid® 5218) by solution mixing. This produces flexible transparent ...
