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 ...
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 ...
Structure and thermal behavior of poly (L‐lactic acid) clay nanocomposites: Effect of preparation method as a function of the nanofiller modification level
(Wiley Online Library, 2011-11-03)
The structural and thermal characteristics of poly(L-lactic acid)/layered-silicate hybrid materials that were produced via two different routes, namely by solvent casting and by melt mixing, were compared in association ...
On the Toughness Response of iPP and sPP/MWNT Nanocomposites
(Wiley Online Library, 2013-07-22)
Nanocomposites based in polypropylene (both syndiotactic and isotactic) and multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) directly blended in the melt via micro-extrusion, were studied. The aim was to determine the role of MWNTs, on ...
Thermal degradation kinetics and isoconversional analysis of biodegradable poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)/organomodified montmorillonite nanocomposites
(Elsevier, 2011-02-20)
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB)/organically modified clay nanocomposites were prepared by the melt mixing method and were characterized using wide-angle X-ray diffraction. Their thermal degradation kinetics was investigated ...
Morphological, Thermal, and Electrical Characterization of Syndiotactic Polypropylene/Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Composites
(Taylor and Francis Online, 2010-08-10)
In this work, syndiotactic polypropylene/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) nanocomposites, in various concentrations, were produced using melt mixing. The influence of the addition of MWCNT on the morphology, crystalline ...
Solution casting versus melt compounding: effect of fabrication route on the structure and thermal behavior of poly(l-lactic acid) clay nanocomposites
(Springer, 2010-07-07)
Poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) nanocomposites containing various loadings of organo-modified montmorillonite were prepared via twin screw extrusion and solution casting in order to investigate the effect of processing route ...
Structure–property relationships in isotactic polypropylene/multi-walled carbon nanotubes nanocomposites
(Elsevier, 2009-10-23)
In this work, the influence of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) on electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of CNT reinforced isotactic polypropylene (iPP) nanocomposites is studied. The composites were obtained ...
