Morphology and thermal degradation studies of melt-mixed PLA/PHBV biodegradable polymer blend nanocomposites with TiO2 as filler
( Wiley Periodicals, Inc. , 2015 , Article)The morphology and thermal stability of melt-mixed poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate) (PHBV) blends and nanocomposites with small amounts of TiO2 nanoparticles were investigated. PLA/PHBV at 50/50 ... -
The effect of expanded graphite on the physical properties of conductive EVA/wax phase change blends for thermal energy storage
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 2015 , Article)A study of the morphology, dynamic mechanical, impact, and tensile properties of ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA)/expanded graphite (EG) and EVA/wax/EG composites is presented. The composites were prepared by melt ... -
Cuprous oxide nanoparticles in epoxy network: Cure reaction, morphology, and thermal stability
( 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 ... -
Influence of surface modification of carbon nanotubes on interactions with polystyrene-b-polyisoprene-b-polystyrene matrix and its photo-actuation properties
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 2014 , Article)The influence of various surface modification of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) on preferential interactions with individual phases of the linear triblock copolymer polystyrene-b-polyisoprene-b-polystyrene (SIS) and ... -
The effect of expanded graphite on the thermal stability, latent heat, and flammability properties of EVA/wax phase change blends
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd , 2015 , Article)This article reports on the morphology, melting and crystallization behavior, thermal stability, flammability and thermal conductivity of shape-stabilized phase-change materials (PCM) for thermal energy storage, based on ... -
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 ... -
Light-Switchable Polymer from Cationic to Zwitterionic Form: Synthesis, Characterization, and Interactions with DNA and Bacterial Cells
( WILEY-VCH Verlag , 2013 , Article)A novel cationic polymer poly(N,N-dimethyl-N-[3-(methacroylamino) propyl]-N-[2-[(2-nitrophenyl)methoxy]-2-oxo-ethyl]ammonium chloride) is synthesized by free-radical polymerization of N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl] methacrylamide ... -
Interface modification of compatibilized polyethylene terephthalate/polypropylene blends: Effect of compatibilization on thermomechanical properties and thermal stability
( WILEY-VCH Verlag , 2015 , Article)Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polypropylene (PP) are incompatible thermoplastics because of differences in chemical structure and polarity, hence their blends possess inferior mechanical and thermal properties. ... -
Poreless Separator and Electrolyte Additive for Lithium-Sulfur Batteries with High Areal Energy Densities
( WILEY-VCH Verlag , 2015 , Article)Despite the attractive theoretical capacity of sulfur over 1600 mA h g−1, lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries suffer from insufficient cycle lives mainly due to fatal polysulfide dissolution. This chronic drawback becomes ... -
