Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties of Palladium Nanoparticle Reinforced Fluoropolymer Composites

Spicer J., See K., Katsumi Y., Zhang D., Brupbacher J., Vargo T., John's Hopkins University, US

The linear optical properties of a functionally graded, palladium nanoparticle reinforced fluorinated ethylene polymer matrix nanocomposite (PMNC) were investigated in this work. Synthesized through repeated infusions of a palladium organometallic precursor gas into an insulating, [...]

Synthesis and Characterization of Magnetorheological Fluids with Super Paramagnetic Nanomaterials in Polymeric Matrix

Kancharla V., Fahmi A., Liu Q., Gindy N., University of Nottingham, UK

Magneto-rheological (MR) fluids represent an exciting family of smart materials that have the unique ability to undergo rapid (within a few µs) changes in their apparent viscosity on the application of an external magnetic field. [...]
