Effect of Dispersion Conditions on the Thermo-Mechanical Properties of Functionalized Carbon Nanotube-Reinforced Vinyl Ester

Sabet S.M., Mahfuz H., Hashemi J., Florida Atlantic University, US

To date, controlling the microstructure of carbon nanotube (CNT)-polymer composites remains a challenge due to high tendency of CNTs to aggregate. Proper dispersion of CNTs in the matrix has to be guaranteed to employ CNTs [...]

Nanoemulsion Formation and characterization of Neutraceutical Components with the Sonication and Self-Assembly Methods

Choi A.J., Park C.B., Park C.G., Park C.B., Park C.G., Han S.H., Rural Development Administration, KR

In this research, we investigated the optimum condition for the preparation of O/W nanoemulsion containing surfactants, neutraceutical ingredients extracted from Angelica gigas Nakai and oil phase in ternary phase diagrams of systems, and characterized the [...]

High Strain Rate Compression Behavior of Conventional and CNF-Filled-Nanophased Glass/Polyester Composites

Hossain M.E., Hossain M.K., Hossain M.E., Hossain M.K., Hosur M., Jeelani S., Rangari V., Tuskegee University, US

A high intensity ultrasonic liquid processor was used to infuse carbon nanofibers (CNFs) into polyester matrix that was then mixed with hardener using a high speed mechanical agitator. The trapped air and reaction volatiles were [...]

Effect of Sonication on Mechanical Properties of Polymers and Nanocomposites

Sha X., Beyle A., Ibeh C.C., Pittsburg State University, US

This study investigates the influence of sonication on the viscosity and mechanical properties of polymeric nanocomposites. Parameters of study are percentage level of catalyst, temperature level, neat polymer (vinyl ester), nanoparticle [nanoclay] infused polymer (nanocomposite) [...]
