Electrochemical Impedance and Thermal Characterization of Nano-Reinforced Vinyl Chloride/Vinyl Acetate Coating

Calhoun M., Ludwick A., Aglan H., Tuskegee University, US

A poly(vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate) copolymer (VYHH) with and without multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as reinforcements was used as a coating for steel substrates in order to evaluate its barrier properties against corrosion. Electrical impedance [...]

Nanostructured Polymeric Composites for High Performance Applications

Calhoun M., Allie A., Allie L., Allie A., Allie L., Aglan H., Dennig P., Tuskegee University, US

Nanostructured polymeric systems can mitigate some of the severe limitations of conventional polymeric composites. In the present research, nanocomposites of epoxy resins have been synthesized and evaluated. Organically modified layered silicate (OLS) particles and multiwalled [...]
