Waterborne Hybrid Silica-Alumina Coating to Increase Poplar Wood Application Opportunities

Del Curto B., Politecnico di Milano, IT

Environmental sustainability and health issues are important factors to be considered in developing new coating materials. Sol-gel is a widely studied procedure that represents also a sustainable one, due to the mild process temperature and [...]

Reinforcement of Abrasion Resistance & Heat Buildup for Tire Tread filled with Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs)

Oh W.S., Choi W.J., Choi Y.H., Choi W.J., Choi Y.H., Park J., Lee Y-S, NANOHUB Co., Ltd, KR

A tire tread composites containing SBR/NR rubber blend and varying proportions of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/carbon black (CB) including a silane-coupling agent [Bis-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)tetrasulfane] have been investigated in order to reinforce abrasion resistance

Innovative PMMA/CaCO3 Nanocomposites

Avella M., Errico M.E., Gentile G., INSTITUTE OF POLYMER CHEMISTRY AND TECHNOLOGY - CNR, IT

Innovative poly(methyl methacrylate) based nanocomposites filled with two kinds of calcium carbonate nanoparticles, coated with stearic acid and poly(butyl acrylate), were prepared. The influence of the nanoparticles nature and content on the chemical-physical properties of [...]

The Impact of Nano-Materials on Coating Technologies

Cayton R.H., Sawitowski T., Nanophase Technologies Corporation, US

Nanocomposite coatings are made by embedding nanocrystalline metal oxide particles in a polymer matrix. The benefits accrued by incorporating nanoparticles into a polymer matrix become economically driven when several advantageous properties are obtained simultaneously, compared [...]
