Evaluations of PP-g-GMA and PP-g-HEMA as a Compatibilizer for Polypropylene/Clay Nanocomposites
In this study, we investigated the performances of a hydroxy ethyl methacrylate grafted PP (PP-g-HEMA) and a glycidyl methacrylate grafted PP (PP-g-GMA) as compatibilizers in PP/clay nanocomposites. The compatibilizers were prepared by melt grafting with [...]
The magnetic properties optimization in diluted magnetic oxide semiconductor nanoparticles obtained by a modified co-precipitation approach in intrazeolitic networks
Ferromagnetism in diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) has been a subject of great scientific and technological interest for the past few years due to its implications for spintronics, advanced magneto-optics and sensors applications. Our research involves [...]
Nanohybrid silica/polymer subcritical aerogels
Fidalgo A., Ilharco L.M., Farinha J.P.S., Martinho J.M.G., Centro de Química-Física Molecular, Instituto Superior Técnico, PT
Novel nanohybrid silica/polymer aerogels were produced by the soft sol-gel process, under subcritical conditions. They are hydrophobic, monolithic, and with improved mechanical properties. These materials may well be the answer to low cost-high performance insulators. [...]
Magnetic Dye-Adsorbent Catalyst: A “Core-Shell” Nanocomposite
Shukla S., Varma M.R., Suresh K.G., Warrier K.G.K., Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), IN
A magnetic dye-adsorbent catalyst has been developed which is the modification of the conventional magnetic photocatalyst. It consists of a nanocomposite particle having a “core-shell” structure, with a magnetic ceramic particle as a core and [...]
Development of Melt Blown Electrospinning Apparatus of Isotactic Polyproylene
Watanabe K., Lee K.H., Lee Y.J., Nakamura T., Lee K.H., Lee Y.J., Kim B.S., Kim I.S., Kim K.W., Kim B.S., Kim I.S., Kim K.W., Kim B.S., Kim I.S., Kim K.W., Shinshu University, JP
Melt blown electrospinning is a method of combining melt blown with melt electrospinning. In this study, we developed the multi nozzle melt blown electrospinning machine. The significant point of this method is to use air [...]
Ag-TiO2 Coated Polyurethane Composite Nanofiber Web for Application in the Protection against Chemical and Biological Warfare Agent
Threats of chemical warfare (CW) and biological warfare (BW) agents are serious international problems. It is positively necessary to protect humankind against CW/BW agents. The objective in this work is to develop protective clothing that [...]
Thermomechanical Properties of Epoxy Resin MWCNts Nanocomposites
Kanapitsas A., Zois H., Delides C.G., Technological Educational Institute of Lamia Department of E, GR
The main aim of the present work is to study the mechanical and thermal properties of nanocomposite materials based on epoxy resin (ER) matrix reinforced with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The filler content was systematically [...]
Graphene and polymer composite using easy soluble expanded graphite
ESEG was prepared from a fluorinated graphite intercalation compound (FGIC) - C2F∙nClF3 containing inorganic volatile intercalating agent ClF3. The severe expanded state, together with high specific surface area of the ESEG can give us essential [...]
‘In situ polymerization and composite formation’ (IPCF): An important synthesis route in advanced materials science
‘In situ polymerization and composite formation’ (IPCF) types of reactions for the synthesis of ‘metal-polymer composite material’ have a potential advantage in the area of ‘synthetic material science’ since both the polymer and the nanoparticles [...]
