Performance and Aging of Graphene Oxide/Polyurethane Nanocomposites

Goodwin Jr. D.G., Bernard C., Stanley D., Nguyen T., Sung L., National Institute of Standards and Technology, US

Graphene oxide (GO) can be used to enhance the properties and extend the service life of polymer nanocomposites (PNCs). GO is a good nanofiller candidate for water-borne polyurethane (WBPU) coatings since GO has outstanding physicochemical [...]

The Study of Surface Accumulated Silica Nanoparticles from “Weathered” Polymer Nanocomposites Using ICP-OES

Rabb S.A., Stanley D., Sung L., Nguyen T., Yu L.L., National Institute of Standards and Technology, US

The impact of nanoparticles on the environment and, more importantly, the human population has been of great interest for the past few years. Release of these nanoparticles from different materials from wear or climate exposure [...]
