Irradiation effect on ethanol sensing response of zinc and tin composite oxide

Singh O., Singh R.C., Singh O., Singh R.C., Guru Nanak Dev University, IN

Sensing response of synthesized composite oxide of zinc and tin to ethanol vapor before and after irradiation has been reported in this paper. Composite oxide powder has been synthesized by a chemical route followed by [...]

Manufacturing Tough Amorphous Thermoplastic-Graphene Nanocomposites

Bandla S., Hanan J.C., Oklahoma State University, US

Nanocomposites have been studied for more than two decades because of their superior performance in comparison with traditional composites. However, few products made using nanocomposites are available commercially. Achieving uniform dispersion in the polymer matrix, [...]

Thermal and Thermomechanical Properties of Epoxy Resin / Carbon Black Nanocomposites

Kanapitsas A., Zois H., Stimoniaris A.Z., Delides C.G., Technological Educational Institute Of Lamia, GR

The main aim of the present work is to study the mechanical and thermal properties of nanocomposite materials based on epoxy resin (ER) matrix reinforced with carbon black (CB) nanoparticles. The filler concentration was systematically [...]

Viscosity Behavior of Magnetic Nanoparticle Filled Fluids and Impact Resistance of Their Fabric Composites

Lee S-G, Chungnam National University, KR

Ferromagnetic fluid(FMF) and magneto-rheological fluid(MRF) have been prepared from iron oxide and iron alloy nanoparticles, respectively, with a proper fluidic medium. In the FMF, chemically synthesized iron oxide particles having diameters of several nanometers were [...]

Extremely Stretchable Electrode based on Combination of Inkjet-Printed Silver and Conductive Composite for Stretchable Lighting Applications

Kim D., Kim S., Byun J., Chung S., Kim D., Kim S., Hong Y., Seoul National University, KR

We have studied stretchable electrode based on combination of inkjet-printed silver electrode and conductive composite materials for stretchable lighting device applications. Previous stretchable electrodes were mainly realized by either vacuum deposition or inkjet-printing of conductive [...]

Novel Metal-Matrix Composites with Integrally-Bound Nanoscale Carbon

Forrest D.R., Jasiuk I., Brown L., Joyce P., Salamanca-Riba L., Naval Surface Warfare Center, US

Recent advances in nanomanufacturing have made it possible for large amounts (up to 6 wt.%) of nanoscale carbon to be retained as an integral second phase in metals such as aluminum and copper. The carbon [...]

Overcoming the Achilles’ Heel of Processing of Polymer Nanocomposites: Achieving Well-Dispersed Polymer-Graphite, Polymer-Carbon Nanotube, and Polymer-Graphene Nanocomposites with Major Property Enhancements by Solid-State Shear Pulverization

Torkelson J.M., Brunner P.J., Kane N., Northwestern University, US

Polymer nanocomposites, particularly with carbon-based nanofiller, hold promise for large-scale, commercial application of novel materials with enhanced, tunable properties. Unfortunately, a stumbling block in achieving this goal on a commercial scale is the remarkable difficulty [...]
