Effect of graphene loading on thermomechanical properties of poly(vinyl alcohol)/starch blend
(
Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
Polymer nanocomposites based on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/starch blend and graphene were prepared by solution mixing and casting. Glycerol was used as a plasticizer and added in the starch dispersion. The uniform dispersion ...
Superior Corrosion and UV-Resistant Highly Porous Poly(vinylidene fluoride- co-hexafluoropropylene)/alumina Superhydrophobic Coating
(
American Chemical Society
, 2022 , Article)
The current research is devoted to fabricating a superhydrophobic coating on alumina surfaces via a facile one-step electrospinning technique. The wettability properties of the as-prepared coating were investigated. The ...
