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. ...
Investigation of the physico-mechanical properties of electrospun PVDF/cellulose nanofibers.
(
Wiley
, 2016 , Article)
The electro-activity and mechanical properties of PVDF depends mainly on the b-phase content and degree of crystallinity. In this study, cellulose fibers were used to improve these characteristics. This could be achieved ...
Identification of Molecular Fluorophore as a Component of Carbon Dots able to Induce Gelation in a Fluorescent Multivalent-Metal-Ion-Free Alginate Hydrogel
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2019 , Article)
We introduce a simple approach to fabricate fluorescent multivalent metal ion-free alginate hydrogels, which can be produced using carbon dots accessible from natural sources (citric acid and L-cysteine). Molecular fluorophore ...
Electrospun Copolyamide Mats Modified by Functionalized Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
In this article, we report the preparation and properties of electro-conductive mats based on the commercial copolyamide (Vestamelt X1010) and multiwall carbon nanotubes functionalized by amino groups. Vestamelt X1010 is ...
Sulfobetaines Meet Carboxybetaines: Modulation of Thermo- and Ion-Responsivity, Water Structure, Mechanical Properties, and Cell Adhesion
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
A procedure for the preparation of copolymers bearing sulfobetaine and carboxybetaine methacrylic-based monomers by free-radical polymerization is described and discussed. A combination of monomers affects the upper critical ...
TiO2/Halloysite hybrid filler reinforced epoxy nanocomposites
(
John Wiley and SonsInc.
, 2018 , Article)
TiO2 nanoparticles and Halloysite nanotubes were used together to modify epoxy matrix. They were introduced into the matrix using two different approaches: (a) both TiO2 nanoparticles and Halloysite nanotubes were incorporated ...
Anti-corrosive and oil sensitive coatings based on epoxy/polyaniline/magnetite-clay composites through diazonium interfacial chemistry
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2018 , Article)
Epoxy polymer nanocomposites filled with magnetite (Fe3O4) clay (B), named (B-DPA-PANI@Fe3O4) have been prepared at different filler loading (0.1, 0.5, 1, 3, 5 wt. %). The surface modification of clay by polyaniline (PANI) ...
Piezoresponse, mechanical, and electrical characteristics of synthetic spider silk nanofibers
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
This work presents electrospun nanofibers from synthetic spider silk protein, and their application as both a mechanical vibration and humidity sensor. Spider silk solution was synthesized from minor ampullate silk protein ...
Light-Responsive Hybrids Based on Carbon Nanotubes with Covalently Attached PHEMA- g-PCL Brushes
(
American Chemical Society
, 2021 , Article)
Carbon nanotube (CNT)-based materials allow for the direct conversion of light into heat and then into mechanical force in the so-called photo-mechanical effect. This effect has been observed almost solely in the form of ...
Foamy phase change materials based on linear low-density polyethylene and paraffin wax blends
(
Springer Nature
, 2018 , Article)
Foamy phase-change materials (FPCMs) based on linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) blended with 30 wt.% of paraffin wax (W) were successfully prepared for the first time. The advantage of these materials is their double ...
