Polymerization of 3-cyanopropyl (triethoxy) silane: A kinetic study using gas chromatography
(
John Wiley and SonsInc.
, 2018 , Article)
Gas chromatography (GC) was used to study the kinetics of the 3-cyanopropyl triethoxysilane (CTES) polymerization. The reaction is a consecutive complex reaction that depends mainly on the kinetics of the first hydrolyzed ...
Can biodegradable plastics solve plastic solid waste accumulation ?
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Book chapter)
Polymers are fast becoming a serious environmental hazard, and are normally disposed of through landfilling, recycling, and incineration. Landfill sites are becoming increasingly scarce, and incineration contributes to air ...
Generation of photo charge in poly(ethyleneimine)-TiO2-anthocyanin modified papers conditioned at different humidities.
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
The article describes the influence of humidity on the surface photodielectric properties of papers prepared from poly(ethyleneimine)-TiO2 nanoparticles-anthocyanin modified cellulose fibres. The anthocyanins were extracted ...

Nanofibrous alginate membrane coated with cellulose nanowhiskers for water purification
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Article)
The aim of this study was to develop a filtration membrane based on two-layered nanoscale alginate nanofibres reinforced with maize cellulose nanowhiskers (diameter between 3 and 12 nm). Reinforcing of the membrane with ...
Influence of TiO2 nanoparticles on the crystallization behaviour and tensile properties of PLA/TiO2, PCL/TiO2 and PLA/PCL/TiO2 nanocomposites.
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Article)
This paper investigated the influence of TiO2 nanoparticles on the morphologies, as well as crystallization behaviour and kinetics, of neat PLA and PCL, and of these polymers in different PLA/PCL blends. We used transmission ...
Magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) for chromatographic separation of carbamates.
(
Wiley
, 2018 , Article)
Magnetic solid phase extraction particles (MSPE) were produced using magnetite nanoparticles with diameters between 9 and 13 nm as nucleating agent. The produced particles with magnetite cores were smaller, and more irregular ...
Charge-trapping capability and AC conductivity at different humidities of poly(ethyleneimine)-TiO2-anthocyanin modified cellulose fibres.
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Article)
Modified cellulose materials are finding increasing application in electronics, because of the need for more environmental-friendly electronic circuits. The papers prepared from poly(ethyleneimine)–TiO2–anthocyanin-modified ...
Review on PCL, PBS, and PCL/PBS blends containing carbon nanotubes.
(
Budapest University of Technology and Economics
, 2018 , Article Review)
Biodegradable polymers received considerable attention due to their contribution in the reduction of environmental concerns and the realization that global petroleum resources are finite. The development of double crystalline ...
Effect of expandable graphite on thermal and flammability properties of poly(lactic acid)-starch/poly(ɛ-caprolactone) blend systems
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
The effect of expandable graphite (EG) on the flammability and thermal stability of a poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-starch/poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) blend was investigated. The samples were prepared by melt-mixing and characterized ...
