Structure Characterization of Nanocomposites by Synchrotron X-ray Rays
In this talk, we will demonstrate that simultaneous small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) techniques can contribute significantly to the structural analysis on several length scales in nanocomposites containing a soft matter [...]
Water Soluble Conducting Polymer Nanocomposite: Toward Electronic Understanding the Catalytic Role of ss-DNA Functionalized Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Single-stranded DNA functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (ss-DNA/SWNTs) act as catalytic molecular templates during oxidative polymerization of self-doped polyaniline. We found that not only was the polymerization rate greatly enhanced, but also the quality of the [...]
Polypyrrole-Organoclay Nanocomposites for Gas Sensors
Polypyrrole (PPy) was synthesized in the presence of octadecylammonium-montmorillonite (OC-MMT) 1-9 wt% using ferric chloride as an initiator to result the intercalated nanocomposites. The synthesized PPy and its nanocomposites were tested for volatile organic gases; [...]
The Effect of Starch Structure on Starch-based Nanocomposite
The effect of starch structure on starch based nanocomposite Starches, including high amylose cornstarch, normal cornstarch, and waxy cornstarch, were gelatinized and mixed with nanoclay aqueous dispersion and different amount plasticizer. The mixtures were then [...]
Closed form Exact Analytical Solutions for Effective Mechanical Properties and Responses for Nanotube Reinforced Nanocomposites
In this paper, analytical and numerical approaches are employed to investigate the effective axial mechanical properties and mechanical behavior of a three-phase composite cylindrical model, representing a unit cell for a polymer nanocomposite reinforced by [...]
Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA)/Layered Silicate Nanocomposite Approaches for Organic Passivation Layers in Organic Thin Film Transistors
Organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) have been demonstrated as promising candidates for flexible displays, smart cards (badges), and gas sensors. These applications with organic electronics offer many advantages, such as light weight, low cost processing, and [...]
The Mechanical Fabrication of Nanocomposites and Engineered Particles
The development of nanotechnology is closely related to the new economy full with high tech products towards 21st century. As a new material, the nanoparticle has certainly caught the imaginations of researchers around the world. [...]
Processing and Characterization of Epon 862 reinforced with functionalized MWCNT’s
In the current research work, functionalization of pristine MWCNTs was performed by oxidation in acid solution (MWCNT-COOH), direct-fluorination (MWCNT-F), and amino-functionalization (MWCNT-NH2). An epoxy-nanocomposite material was developed through the use of functionalized Multi-wall Carbon Nanotubes [...]
Coupling of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots: among themselves and with matrices
We investigate the photoluminescence (PL) properties of CdSe/ZnS QDs deposited on Si, fused silica, Au film, and silica nanospheres. The red shifts of the PL peak were observed with increasing density of QDs on various [...]
Synthesis and Magnetic Properties of Polyaniline-Based Magnetic Nanocomposites for EMI Applications
we have synthesized composite of polyaniline (PANI) with manganese-zinc-ferrite (MnXZn1-XFe2O4) nanoparticles. PANI was synthesized by polymerization of aniline in the presence of ammonium peroxydisulfate and HCl. Electrical conductivity of bare PANI pellets averaged 0.8044 (Ω·m)-1. [...]
