Thermal and colloidal behavior of amine-treated clays: The role of amphiphilic organic cation concentration
(Elsevier, 2007-11-15)
The modification of sodium montmorillonite (NaMMT) through the insertion of amphiphilic hexadecylammonium cations into the clay's interlayer spaces has been studied. Alkylammonium concentrations equivalent to 0.15–3.00 ...
Surface Properties of Superhydrophobic Coatings for Stone Protection,
(2009)
Superhydrophobic films are produced by a simple and low cost method. Silica (SiO(2)) nanoparticles are dispersed in solutions of Rhodorsil 224, a commercial poly(alkyl siloxane) which is used for the protection of outdoor ...
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 ...
Nanofibrous morphology of electrospun chitosan nanocomposites reinforced with WS2 nanotubes: A design-of-experiments study
(SAGE, 2017-08-09)
Chitosan nanofibers reinforced with tungsten disulfide inorganic nanotubes (INT-WS2) were fabricated in this study. The aim was to investigate the effect of the material parameters and the electrospinning process parameters ...
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 ...
