Effect of barrier plasma pre-treatment on polyester films and their adhesive properties on oak wood
( North Carolina State University , 2016 , Article)A barrier plasma, created at atmospheric pressure, was used to improve the surface and adhesive properties of polyester (PES) film with respect to wood using polyurethane adhesives. The modification of PES film surfaces ... -
Effect of BaTiO3 on the sensing properties of PVDF composite-based capacitive humidity sensors
( Elsevier Ltd , 2020 , Article)Capacitive humidity sensors consisting of materials such as polymers, ceramics, and piezoelectrics are widely used to monitor relative humidity levels. The effect of barium titanate (BaTiO3) nanoparticles on the humidity ... -
Effect of sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) on the sensitivity of polyvinylidene fluoride-based resistive humidity sensors
( Elsevier Ltd , 2020 , Article)We have investigated the effect of sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) on the thermal stability, hydrophilicity, and sensitivity of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) films based resistive humidity sensors. The blended ... -
Effect of zirconia nanotube coating on the hydrophilicity and mechanochemical behavior of zirconium for biomedical applications
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Zirconium has attracted considerable attention in the biomedical field owing to its biocompatibility and desirable tribological and mechanical properties. In this study, we anodized pure zirconium in an ammonium fluoride ... -
Electrospun Polysulfone Hybrid Nanocomposite Fibers as Membrane for Separating Oil/Water Emulsion
( Springer Nature , 2023 , Article)Commercial polymer membranes are largely utilized to separate oil/water mixtures; however, membrane fouling, flux decline, and short lifetime often inhibit their high performance. In order to resolve these drawbacks of the ... -
Humidity sensor based on poly(lactic acid)/PANI-ZnO composite electrospun fibers
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2021 , Article)The electrospinning technique has been successfully used to prepared micro-fibers of the poly(lactic acid)/polyaniline–zinc oxide (PLA/PANI–ZnO) composite. The polyaniline–zinc oxide (PANI–ZnO) nanocomposites are synthesized ... -
Improvement of humidity sensing properties of PVDF-TiO2 nanocomposite films using acetone etching
( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article)In this work, we enhanced the humidity sensing properties of the polyvinylidene fluoride titanium dioxide (PVDF-TiO2) nanocomposites based capacitive humidity sensors by modifying the film surface. The surface morphology ... -
Investigation of beech wood modified by radio-frequency discharge plasma
( Elsevier Ltd , 2015 , Article)Low-temperature plasma was used to improve the surface and adhesive properties of wood. The pre-treatment of wood surfaces using radio-frequency (RF) discharge plasma is attractive for various wood applications, mainly ... -
Simple, Reversible, and Fast Modulation in Superwettability, Gradient, and Adsorption by Counterion Exchange on Self-Assembled Monolayer
( American Chemical Society , 2016 , Article)A simple fabrication method for preparation of surfaces able to switch from superhydrophobic to superhydrophilic state in a reversible and fast way is described. A self-assembled monolayer (SAM) consisting of quaternary ... -
Stromal cell-derived factor loaded co-electrospun hydrophilic/hydrophobic bicomponent membranes for wound protection and healing
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2020 , Article)Chronic wounds are one of the key concerns for people with diabetes, frequently leading to infections and non-healing ulcers, and finally resulting in the amputation of limbs/organs. Stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF1) ...
