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 ...
Optical fluorescent spider silk electrospun nanofibers with embedded cerium oxide nanoparticles
(
SPIE
, 2018 , Article)
The work demonstrates an electrospun nanocomposite of recombinant spider silk protein (rSSp) nanofibers with embedded cerium oxide (ceria) nanoparticles. RSSP (MaSp1) has been produced, extracted from goat milk, and ...
Polyzwitterionic Hydrogels in Engines Based on the Antipolyelectrolyte Effect and Driven by the Salinity Gradient
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
In this paper, we propose and investigate an original approach to energy conversion based on polyzwitterionic hydrogels, which exhibit an antipolyelectrolyte effect that enables them to swell in salt water and shrink in ...
Recycled polyethylene/paraffin wax/expanded graphite based heat absorbers for thermal energy storage: An artificial aging study
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
An artificial aging study of novel heat absorbers based on phase change materials (PCMs) prepared from recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE), paraffin wax (PW), and expanded graphite (EG) was investigated. The optimal ...
Effect of corona treatment on adhesion enhancement of LLDPE
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Polymers/metal laminates are often used to improve physical and mechanical properties, especially those required in building applications. A flat aluminum composite panel (ACP) consisted mainly of two thin metal sheets ...
Effect of expanded graphite on the phase change materials of high density polyethylene/wax blends
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Phase change materials fabricated from high density polyethylene (HDPE) blended with 40 or 50 wt% commercial wax (melting point of 43.08�C) and up to 15 wt% expanded graphite (EG) were studied. Techniques including scanning ...
Graphene and graphitic derivative filled polymer composites as potential sensors
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2015 , Article)
Graphite and numerous graphitic-derived micro- and nano-particles have gained importance in current materials science research. These two-dimensional sheets of sp2-hybridized carbon atoms remarkably influence the properties ...
Nanomechanical properties of plasma treated polylactic acid
(
Maney Publishing
, 2015 , Article)
In this work, a radio frequency discharged plasma generated in air atmosphere by pressure has been used to modify polylactic acid (PLA) surface. The results were evaluated through nanoindentation testing. Contact angle ...
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 ...
Thermal properties of smart microencapsulated paraffin/plaster composites for the thermal regulation of buildings
(
Elsevier Ltd
