Characterization of Nanostructured Phenolic and Epoxy Composites Under Pulse Laser Degradation

Young S., Kumar A., Ludwick A., Aglan H., Tuskegee University, US

Phenolic and epoxy nanocomposites were fabricated and exposed to pulsed laser. The nanoreinforcements were alumina nanofibers (ANF) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). The loading of the nanoreinforcement was kept the same for both the epoxy [...]

Mechanical and Moisture Resistance Performance of Silver Nanoparticle Reinforced Fish Skin Gelatin Films

Harding H., Ludwick A., Samuel T., Young S., Aglan H., Tuskegee University, US

Films from the biodegradable polymer gelatin have been studied for biomedical applications not only because of the film forming properties of gelatin, but also because of the availability and economical advantages of gelatin. In this [...]

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 [...]

Evaluation of Nanostructured Polymeric Coatings for Corrosion Protection

Aglan A., Ludwick A., Reeves M., Michigan Tech, US

The effect of the addition of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) to epoxy and vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate copolymer coatings on their ability to protect the substrates was studied. Coatings were formulated from these resins with and [...]
