Aggregation phenomena in the suspension polymerization of VCM
(Springer, 1989-07-25)
In the suspension polymerization of VCM, insoluble polymer particles are formed inside the monomer droplets. The growth and aggregation of these particles are responsible for important polymer properties, such as porosity. ...
Designing electrospun nanocomposite poly(vinylidene fluoride) mats with tunable wettability
(sciencedirect, 2017-06-20)
The beneficial intrinsic properties of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) can be enhanced by fabricating electrospun nanocomposite PVDF fibrous mats of predetermined morphology. These electrospun mats can be very useful in ...
Biopolyester-based nanocomposites: Structural, thermo-mechanical and biocompatibility characteristics of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)/montmorillonite clay nanohybrids
(Wiley Online Library, 2014-11-14)
In this work, the structural, thermal, mechanical, and biocompatibility characteristics of biopolyester-based nanocomposites with phyllosilicate clays, namely those of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) with octadecylamine-modified ...
Nanocomposites of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)/organomodified montmorillonite: Effect of the nanofiller on the polymer's biodegradation
(Wiley Online Library, 2014-11-15)
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is a biopolymer that can be degraded by extracellular PHB depolymerase. This enzyme is secreted by various microorganisms, but bacterial PHB depolymerases are the most widely studied. The ...
Tailor-Made Electrospun Nanofibers of Biowaste Lignin/Recycled Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate)
(Springer, 2016-08-30)
Producing nanofibers of a desired predetermined diameter is important for all applications where the nano-sized dimension plays a key role. In this research, nanofibers from a blend of lignin and recycled poly(ethylene ...
Effect of tungsten disulfide nanotubes on the thermomechanical properties of polypropylene-graft-maleic anhydride nanocomposites
(Wiley Online Library, 2016-05-24)
In this work, the influence of tungsten disulfide nanotubes (INT-WS2) on the mechanical, thermal, structural, and morphological characteristics of Polypropylene-graft-maleic anhydride (PPGMA) nanocomposites is investigated. ...
Carbon nanofibers from renewable bioresources (lignin) and a recycled commodity polymer [poly(ethylene terephthalate)]
(Wiley Online Library, 2016-06-06)
Utilizing inexpensive biorenewable and waste raw materials for the production of carbon nanofibers can pave the way for lowering their manufacturing cost. In this research, lignin is combined with recycled poly(ethylene ...
Porous composite structures derived from multiphase polymer blends
(Wiley Online Library, 2014-11-03)
Porous biopolymer structures have attracted a lot of attention in the recent years because of their potential applications in tissue engineering. In this work, porous structures of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) ...
Optimizing the nanofibrous morphology of electrospun poly[(butylene succinate)- co-(butylene adipate)]/clay nanocomposites and revealing the effect of the fibre nano-dimension on the attained material properties
(Wiley Online Library, 2011-02-10)
Electrospun mats of biodegradable polymer/clay nanocomposites were prepared in order to investigate the qualitative and quantitative correlations between electrospinning-related parameters and the fibrous morphology of the ...
The effect of surface chemistry and nanoclay loading on the microcellular structure of porous poly(d,l lactic acid) nanocomposites
(Elsevier, 2011-07)
Three series of polymer nanocomposites, based on poly(d,l lactic acid) (PDLLA) and organically modified montmorillonite, were prepared by the melt and the solution intercalation technique. The first series was prepared by ...
