Effects of rutile-TiO2 nanoparticles on accelerated weathering degradation of poly(Lactic Acid)
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
The effect of accelerated weathering on poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and a PLA nanocomposite with rutile titanium (IV) dioxide (rutile-TiO2) was investigated. The accelerated weathering test applied consecutive steps of ultraviolet ...
Electrospun PVDF graphene oxide composite fibre mats with tunable physical properties.
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
This article is aimed at a basic physical characterization of electrospun PVDF/graphene oxide (GO) composite non-woven fibre mats. The morphological characterization of the prepared fabrics was performed via SEM investigations. ...
Electrospun alginate nanofibres impregnated with silver nanoparticles: Preparation, morphology and antibacterial properties
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Abstract Silver nanoparticles are amongst the most valuable nanoparticles with interesting properties, such as a non-toxic nature and high antibacterial efficiency, making them applicable for tissue scaffold, protective ...
Influence of blending and blend morphology on the thermal properties and crystallization behaviour of PLA and PCL in PLA/PCL blends
(
Springer
, 2016 , Article)
In this paper, we reported on the influence of PCL on the cold crystallization behaviour of PLA in different PLA/PCL blends, and on the influence of blending with PLA on the PCL crystallization behaviour and kinetics. The ...
Morphology, interfacial interaction, and thermal degradation of polycarbonate/MCM-41 (nano)composites
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2017 , Article)
This article reports on the morphology, interfacial interaction, thermal stability, and thermal degradation kinetics of polycarbonate (PC)/mesoporous silica (MCM-41) composites with various MCM-41 contents, prepared by ...
Preparation and characterization of EVA/PLA/sugarcane bagasse composites for water purification
(
SAGE Publications
, 2017 , Article)
Poly(lactic acid)/ethylene vinyl acetate blends and poly(lactic acid)/ethylene vinyl acetate/sugarcane bagasse composites were prepared by melt mixing. The lower viscosity of poly(lactic acid), the lower interfacial tension ...
Thermomechanical properties and thermal degradation kinetics of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and polycarbonate (PC) filled with cerium doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Ce:YAG) prepared by melt compounding.
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
This paper reports on the thermomechanical properties and thermal
degradation kinetics of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and polycarbonate (PC)
composites filled with cerium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Ce:YAG) at ...
The effect of expanded graphite on the flammability and thermal conductivity properties of phase change material based on PP/wax blends
(
Springer
, 2015 , Article)
The study reports on the flammability, thermal stability, impact properties and thermal conductivity of shape-stabilized phase change materials based on a soft Fischer–Tropsch paraffin wax blended with polypropylene (PP). ...
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 ...
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 ...
