Morphology and thermal degradation studies of melt-mixed PLA/PHBV biodegradable polymer blend nanocomposites with TiO2 as filler
(
Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
The morphology and thermal stability of melt-mixed poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate) (PHBV) blends and nanocomposites with small amounts of TiO2 nanoparticles were investigated. PLA/PHBV at 50/50 ...
Synthesis and electrochemical properties of nickel oxide/carbon nanofiber composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
The electrospinning of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) with a polyaniline and graphene sol–gel mixture produced uniform, smooth fibers with an average diameter of 0.3 μm. These electrospun fibers were stabilized for 2 h at 200 °C ...
Glycoprofiling as a novel tool in serological assays of systemic sclerosis: A comparative study with three bioanalytical methods
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease seriously affecting patient’s quality of life. The heterogeneity of the disease also means that identification and subsequent validation of biomarkers of the disease is ...
Fabrication of polyaniline-graphene/polystyrene nanocomposites for flexible gas sensors
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2019 , Article)
This research work presents the fabrication of polyaniline (PANI) and graphene-polyaniline (graphene-PANI) nanocomposite-coated polystyrene (PS) nanofibre mats, as well as their application in flexible and highly sensitive ...
Processing, characterization and modeling of recycled polypropylene/glass fibre/wood flour composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Polypropylene (PP) is one of the most common thermoplastic materials in the world. There is a need to recycle the large amount of this used material. To overcome the environmental problems, related to the polymer waste, ...
Designing dual phase sensing materials from polyaniline filled styrene-isoprene-styrene composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
The demand for developing oil detectors is ever increasing since the cleanup and recovery from oil spill usually take long time. Here we propose oil sensors made of polyaniline (PANI) filled poly(styrene-isoprene-styrene) ...
Novel deformation structures of pure titanium induced by room temperature equal channel angular pressing
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Novel deformation structures of commercial pure (CP) Ti induced by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at room temperature have been studied by electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD). All the deformation twins occurring ...
Evaluation Techniques for the Corrosion Resistance of Self-Healing Coatings
(
ESG
, 2014 , Article)
Self-healing coatings, materials that autonomically repair damage, are a method of extending the life of corrosion prevention coatings. The different types of self-healing coatings are briefly outlined. A review of the ...
Achieve high ductility and strength in an Al-Mg alloy by severe plastic deformation combined with inter-pass annealing
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Metallic materials processed by severe plastic deformation generally possess very high strength but a rather low uniform elongation, usually <5%. In the present Al-7Mg alloy processed by room temperature equal channel ...
Corrosion behavior of superhydrophobic surfaces: A review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
Superhydrophobic surfaces have evoked great interest in researchers for both purely academic pursuits and industrial applications. Metal corrosion is a serious problem, both economically and operationally, for engineering ...
