Effect of blend ratio and nanofiller localization on the thermal degradation of graphite nanoplatelets-modified PLA/PCL
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2019 , Article)
A variety of poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) samples with different PLA:PCL ratios, containing different contents of graphite nanoplatelets (GrP), were analysed in a thermogravimetric analyser (TG) under, ...
The Effect of Aluminium Dross on Mechanical and Corrosion Properties of Concrete
(
OMICS International
, 2014 , Article)
It is the objective of this project is to investigate the mechanical and chemical behaviour of new concrete type obtained by adding aluminium dross which is an impure aluminium mixture that results from metals melting and ...
Electrospun alginate nanofibres as potential bio-sorption agent of heavy metals in water treatment
(
Budapest University of Technology
, 2017 , Article)
This paper reports on the potential of electrospun alginate nanofibre membranes to be used for the bio-sorption
of heavy metals from aqueous solutions. Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and its blends were electrospun at an ...
Morphology, nucleation, and isothermal crystallization kinetics of poly(butylene succinate) mixed with a polycarbonate/MWCNTs masterbatch
(
MDPI
, 2018 , Article)
In this study, nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) with a polycarbonate (PC)/multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) masterbatch, in a twin-screw extruder. The nanocomposites contained ...
Improved mechanical properties of recycled linear low-density polyethylene composites filled with date palm wood powder
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Recycled linear low-density polyethylene (RLLDPE) was blended with date palm wood powder to prepare composites in which the concentration of the filler ranged from 10 to 70wt.%. The cross-linking of composites was performed ...
Degradation analysis in mixed (MAPbI3 and MAPbBr3) perovskite solar cells under thermal stress
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2019 , Article)
The current study provides an insight into the thermal stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) and the factors causing their degradation. To this end, a systematic stability study was carried out on n-i-p type perovskite ...
Study of device instability of bottom-gate ZnO transistors with sol-gel derived channel layers
(
American Institute of Physics Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
In this paper, the authors report the device instability of solution based ZnO thin film transistors by studying the time-evolution of electrical characteristics during electrical stressing and subsequent relaxation. A ...
Crystallization and dielectric behavior of PLA and PHBV in PLA/PHBV blends and PLA/PHBV/TIO 2 nanocomposites
(
BME-PT and GTE
, 2019 , Article)
The morphology, crystallization behavior and mechanical properties of PLA, PHBV and their blends and nanocomposites with TiO 2 as filler were investigated. An uncommon morphological change was observed with increasing PLA ...
Role of TiO2 and carbon nanotubes on polyethylene, and effect of accelerated weathering on photo oxidation and mechanical properties
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this work, LLDPE-based composite films were prepared by melt mixing followed by compression molding to investigate the role of titanium oxide nanoparticles (TONPs) and/or multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the ...
Polyzwitterionic Hydrogels in Engines Based on the Antipolyelectrolyte Effect and Driven by the Salinity Gradient
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
In this paper, we propose and investigate an original approach to energy conversion based on polyzwitterionic hydrogels, which exhibit an antipolyelectrolyte effect that enables them to swell in salt water and shrink in ...
