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 ...
Clay/Conductive Polymer Nanocomposites
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2017 , Book chapter)
This chapter describes the main strategies for designing clay nanocomposites of the most investigated inherently conductive polymers, namely, polypyrrole, polyaniline, and polythiophenes including poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) ...
Spectroscopy of Polymer Nanocomposites
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2016 , Book)
Spectroscopy of Polymer Nanocomposites covers all aspects of the spectroscopic characterization of polymer nanocomposites. More than 25 spectroscopy characterization techniques - almost all used in materials science - are ...
Effect of halloysite nano tubes on the thermal degradation behaviour of PCL/PLA microfibrillar composites
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
This paper reports on the thermal degradation behaviour and kinetics of halloysite nanotubes containing microfibrillated poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) blends. It was found that the nanotubes probably ...
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 ...
