Electrochemical Synthesis of Polyaniline Nanoparticles and Nanofibers

Xavier M.G., Leite E.R., Leite F.L., Leite E.R., Leite F.L., Venancio E.C., MacDiarmid A.G., Mattoso L.H.C., ARS-USDA, US

It is known that the properties of polymers produced by the electrodeposition of aniline is strongly dependent on the experimental conditions used. In these electrochemical methods two main steps can occur, the (1) nucleation process [...]

Investigation of Thermal and Mechanical Response of Nylon-6 Filaments with the Infusion of Acicular and Spherical Nanoparticles

Mahfuz H., Hasan M.M., Rangari V.K., Jeelani S., Tuskegee University, US

It has been demonstrated in recent years that infusion of nanoparticles in thermoset as well as in thermoplastic polymers can help improve the chemical, thermal, and mechanical properties significantly. The improvement in properties can be [...]

DOE Optimization and Phase Morphology of Electrospun Nanofibers of PANI/PMMA Blends

Desai K., Sung C., University of Massachusetts-Lowell, US

Electrospinning is a process by which sub-micron polymer fibers can be produced using an electrostatically driven jet of polymer solution. The fibers are collected as a non-woven mat or membrane with high surface area to [...]

Uniform Polycarbonate Nanofibers Produced By Electrospinning

Kattamuri N., Sung C., University of Massachusetts, US

In the present work electrospinning of polycarbonate has been performed to produce nanofibers.Parameters like concentration,voltage,flow rate and distances were varied and an optimum condition of all the parameters was achieved to generate uniform ,smooth nanofibers [...]
