Reduced erbium-doped ceria nanoparticles: One nano-host applicable for simultaneous optical down- and up-conversions
(
Springer Nature
, 2014 , Article)
This paper introduces a new synthesis procedure to form erbium-doped ceria nanoparticles (EDC NPs) that can act as an optical medium for both up-conversion and down-conversion in the same time. This synthesis process results ...
Improved electrical conductivity of carbon/polyvinyl alcohol electrospun nanofibers
(
Hindawi
, 2015 , Article)
Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) gained much interest in the last few years due to their promising electrical, chemical, and mechanical characteristics. This paper investigates a new nanocomposite composed of carbon nanofibers ...
Viscoelastic and photo-actuation studies of composites based on polystyrene-grafted carbon nanotubes and styrene-b-isoprene-b-styrene block copolymer
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Photoactuating composites based on the linear triblock copolymer polystyrene-b-polyisoprene-b-polystyrene (SIS) were prepared by incorporation of polystyrene-modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-PS). Modification ...
Calorimetric analysis and molecular dynamics simulation of cure kinetics of epoxy/chitosan-modified Fe3O4 nanocomposites
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized and modified with chitosan as a natural surface modifier to prevent their aggregation and make them potent to contribute to ring opening of epoxy. Functionalized Fe3O4 ...
Flexible NO2 sensors from renewable cellulose nanocrystals/iron oxide composites
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
A bio-friendly nanostructured cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) sheet with iron oxide grown on it acting as a nitrogen dioxide (NO2) gas sensor was fabricated by hydrothermal method. The structural investigation was done to ...
Dependence of wear behavior on sintering mechanism for Iron-Alumina Metal Matrix Nanocomposites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The present paper reports the dependence of wear behavior on sintering mechanism for iron (Fe) alumina (Al2O3) metal matrix nanocomposites fabricated via Powder Metallurgy (P/M) technique. Nanocomposite composition was ...
Non-enzymatic biosensing of glucose based on silver nanoparticles synthesized from Ocimum tenuiflorum leaf extract and silver nitrate
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
An enzyme-free glucose sensor developed based on silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) via bio-mediated route using Ocimum tenuiflorum leaves extract. The Ag NPs were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible ...
Investigation of fracture behavior of annealed electroless Ni-P coating on pipeline steel using acoustic emission methodology
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Electroless Ni-P coatings have been a popular option for a variety of applications because of their autocatalytic nature and excellent resistance to wear and corrosion. These properties of Ni-P coating suggest an additional ...
The preparation, properties and applications of electrospun co-polyamide 6,12 membranes modified by cellulose nanocrystals
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
In this paper, we present the preparation and properties of a unique material system manufactured by electrospinning of co-polyamide 6,12 (coPA) from an n-propanol solution. A significant advantage of this system is that ...
Effect of halloysite nanotubes on the thermal degradation behaviour of poly(ε-caprolactone)/poly(lactic acid) microfibrillar composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
This paper reports on the thermal degradation behaviour and kinetics of halloysite nanotubes containing microfibrillated poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) blends. It was found that the nanotubes probably ...
