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 ...
Electrically conductive electrospun polymeric mats for sensing dispersed vegetable oil impurities inwastewater
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
This paper addresses the preparation of electrically conductive electrospun mats on a base of styrene-isoprene-styrene copolymer (SIS) and multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and their application as active sensing elements ...
Thermoelectric Behavior of Nanocrystalline Tin Selenide Nanocomposites
(2018 , Master Thesis)
Thermoelectric technology converts thermal energy to electricity. Many studies were conducted on thermoelectric materials such as Bismuth Telluride and Lead Telluride. And the goal was to achieve an average ZT >2 which is ...
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) ...
Elastomer/thermoplastic modified epoxy nanocomposites: The hybrid effect of 'micro' and 'nano' scale
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article Review)
The approach of simultaneously exploit the use of microscale elastomers/thermoplastics and nanoscale fillers for the modification of epoxy systems is presently an active research topic. Such hybrid modification of epoxy ...
Effect of blend ratio and nanofiller localization on the thermal degradation of graphite nanoplatelets-modified PLA/PCL
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2019 , Article)
A variety of poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) samples with different PLA:PCL ratios, containing different contents of graphite nanoplatelets (GrP), were analysed in a thermogravimetric analyser (TG) under, ...
