(
Public Library of Science
, 2017 , Article)
Novel 2D Ti3C2Tx (MXene)-reinforced polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers have been successfully fabricated by an electrospinning technique. The high aspect ratio, hydrophilic surfaces, and metallic conductivity of delaminated ...
Flexible pressure sensor based on PVDF nanocomposites containing reduced graphene oxide-titania hybrid nanolayers
(
MDPI AG
, 2017 , Article)
A novel flexible nanocomposite pressure sensor with a tensile strength of about 47 MPa is fabricated in this work. Nanolayers of titanium dioxide (titania nanolayers, TNL) synthesized by hydrothermal method are used to ...
Nanoclay compatibilization of phase separated polysulfone/polyimide films for oxygen barrier
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Polyimide (PI) and Polysulfone (PSF) films are used in many applications ranging from electronic film capacitors to membranes for gas separation and water purification, yet their phase separation issues limit many potential ...
Mesoporous Tungsten Oxides with Crystalline Framework for Highly Sensitive and Selective Detection of Foodborne Pathogens
(
American Chemical Society
, 2017 , Article)
Foodborne pathogens like Listeria monocytogenes can cause various illnesses and pose a serious threat to public health. They produce species-specific microbial volatile organic compounds, i.e., the biomarkers, making it ...
Structural properties, crystal quality and growth modes of MOCVD-grown AlN with TMAl pretreatment of sapphire substrate
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2017 , Article)
The growth of high quality AlN epitaxial films relies on precise control of the initial growth stages. In this work, we examined the influence of the trimethylaluminum (TMAl) pretreatment of sapphire substrates on the ...
