• Cellulose nanofibers to assist the release of healing agents in epoxy coatings 

      Vijayan P, Poornima; Tanvir, Aisha; El-Gawady, Yara Hany; Al-Maadeed, Mariam ( Elsevier B.V. , 2017 , Article)
      Epoxy monomer and amine curing agents were immobilized on cellulose nanofibers (CNF). Obtained epoxy immobilized CNF (EiCNF) and amine curing agent immobilized CNF (AiCNF) were characterized using Fourier transform infrared ...
    • Cuprous oxide nanoparticles in epoxy network: Cure reaction, morphology, and thermal stability 

      Sunny, Anu Tresa; Vijayan P., Poornima; George, Thresiamma; Pickering, Kim; Mathew, Suresh; ... more authors ( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 2015 , Article)
      Nanosized cuprous oxide filler particles (nCOP) with octahedral morphology were synthesized through hydrazine reduction method and were used to develop a novel nanocomposites based on epoxy resin. The morphology of epoxy–nCOP ...
    • Inorganic Porous Materials Based Epoxy Self-Healing Coatings 

      Vijayan, P Poornima; Al-Maadeed, Mariam Ali S A ( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2016 , Conference Paper)
      The long-term stability of protective coating for metal is critically important for structural applications [1, 2]. Self-healing ability extend the service life of protective coatings leading to a significant reduction in ...
    • Morphology of epoxy/rubber blends 

      Vijayan, P. Poornima ( Springer International Publishing , 2017 , Book chapter)
      The investigations on the morphological features of epoxy/rubber blends are of great importance as the morphology controls the property and performance of these blends. The characterization techniques like optical microscopy ...
    • TiO2 nanotubes and mesoporous silica as containers in self-healing epoxy coatings 

      Vijayan P., Poornima; Al-Maadeed, Mariam Ali S.A. ( Nature Publishing Group , 2016 , Article)
      The potential of inorganic nanomaterials as reservoirs for healing agents is presented here. Mesoporous silica (SBA-15) and TiO2 nanotubes (TNTs) were synthesized. Both epoxy-encapsulated TiO2 nanotubes and amine-immobilized ...
