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 ...
Strength optimisation of mortar with CNTs and nanoclays
(
Thomas Telford Services Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This study explores the use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and nanoclays in cement mortars. The paper presents modelling and optimisation of the compressive and flexural strengths of cement mortars containing CNTs and 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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Controlling the sensing performance of rGO filled PVDF nanocomposite with the addition of secondary nanofillers
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
This study reports the synthesis and characterization of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanocomposites containing binary filler combination of reduced graphene oxide and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes. The PVDF nanocomposite ...
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 ...
Improving the efficiency of dye sensitized solar cells by TiO2-graphene nanocomposite photoanode
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
Nanocomposite photoanodes were prepared by addition of graphene (GR) micro-platelets to TiO2 nanoparticulate paste. TiO2/graphene based DSSCs were fabricated using Z907 photosensitizer. Transmission electron microscope was ...
Eco-Friendly Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Materials from Flexible Reduced Graphene Oxide Filled Polycaprolactone/Polyaniline Nanocomposites
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Hybrid nanocomposites have the unique ability of enhancing material properties due to the existing synergistic effect of the fillers. In this study, the authors report such an eco-friendly hybrid nanocomposite comprising ...
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 ...
