Effect of filler size on thermophysical and electrical behavior of nanocomposites based on expanded graphite nanoparticles filled in low-density polyethylene matrix
(2013 , Article)
Various aspects of electrical and thermophysical properties of nanocomposites based on low-density polyethylene matrix filled with nanostructuralized expanded graphite (EG) and standard, microsized graphite are presented ...
Enhanced morphology and mechanical characteristics of clay/styrene butadiene rubber nanocomposites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Achieving complete exfoliation of clay in their polymer nanocomposite is a matter of interest as it can significantly affect the material properties. Herein, an efficient way of enhancing the interlayer spaces of organically ...
Nanocomposite photoactuators based on an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer filled with carbon nanotubes
(2013 , Article)
This paper reports strong, reversible actuation of nanocomposites on the base of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) filled with multiwalled (MWCNTs) and singlewalled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The carbon nanotubes (CNTs) dispersion ...
Elastomeric photo-actuators and their investigation by confocal laser scanning microscopy
(2013 , Article)
The photo-actuation behavior of nanocomposites based on ethylene-vinylacetate copolymer (EVA) and styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS) block copolymer filled with well-dispersed and modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) ...
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 ...
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 ...
Morphology, Nucleation, and Isothermal Crystallization Kinetics of Poly(ε-caprolactone) Mixed with a Polycarbonate/MWCNTs Masterbatch
(
MDPI AG
, 2017 , Article)
In this study, nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) with a (polycarbonate (PC)/multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)) masterbatch in a twin-screw extruder. The nanocomposites contained ...
Effect of hot extrusion and T6 heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-10Zn-3.5Mg-2.5Cu nanocomposite reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Al-10Zn-3.5Mg-2.5Cu/graphene nanocomposites were developed by a combination of liquid metallurgy and hot extrusion techniques. The effect of varying graphene content (0.1%, 0.3%, 0.7% and 1.0%) on microstructure and ...
