(
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 ...
Calcium deficiency in hydroxyapatite and its drug delivery applications
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2018 , Article)
In this work, calcium deficient hydroxyapatites (HAPs) [Ca 10 ? x (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) 2 ] [where x = 0 ? 0.3] were synthesised by precipitation method and calcined samples were characterised by Fourier transformation infrared ...
Influence of CuO nanoparticles and graphene nanoplatelets on the sensing behaviour of poly(vinyl alcohol) nanocomposites for the detection of ethanol and propanol vapors
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2018 , Article)
Poly(vinyl alcohol)/copper oxide/graphene nanoplatelets (PVA/CuO/Gr-NPls) nanocomposite based chemiresistive alcohol sensors were fabricated using colloidal blending method. The PVA/CuO/Gr-NPls nanocomposite films were ...
Resistive room temperature LPG sensor based on a graphene/CdO nanocomposite
(
Springer-Verlag Wien
, 2019 , Article)
The authors decribe an ultra-sensitive, room temperature, flexible transparent LPG sensor based on the use of a CdO/graphene nanocomposite. The graphene prevents the accumulation of CdO, enhances the surface area, and acts ...
Studies on the Electrical Properties of Graphene Oxide-Reinforced Poly (4-Styrene Sulfonic Acid) and Polyvinyl Alcohol Blend Composites
(
World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
In the present study, graphene oxide (GO)-reinforced poly (4-styrenesulfonic acid) (PSSA)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) blend composite films were prepared using colloidal blending technique at various concentrations of GO ...
Developing Polyaniline Filled Isoprene Composite Fibers by Electrospinning: Effect of Filler Concentration on the Morphology and Glass Transition
(
Pleiades Publishing
, 2019 , Article)
Abstract: Sub micron and nano level fibers are produced from the polymer melts by applying an external electric field during electrospinning; however very few studies are reported on elastomer scaffolds formed by this ...
Wollastonite/forsterite composite scaffolds offer better surface for hydroxyapatite formation
(
Indian Academy of Sciences
, 2019 , Article)
The present work deals with a comparative study of ceramic/ceramic composites for the development of scaffolds for biomedical applications. Wollastonite and forsterite were synthesized by a sol-gel combustion method. The ...
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 ...
