The effect of electro spinning parameters on polystyrene nano fiber morphology: Oil-water separation
(
Desalination Publications
, 2018 , Article)
This manuscript reports optimized conditions necessary to prepare electro-spun nano fibers and microfibers using two different forms of polystyrene (PS) in dimethylformamide (DMF). We conducted a systematic and methodical ...
PVA/chitosan/silver nanoparticles electrospun nanocomposites: Molecular relaxations investigated by modern broadband dielectric spectroscopy
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
In this study, we used broadband dielectric spectroscopy to analyze polymer nanofibers of poly(vinyl alcohol)/chitosan/silver nanoparticles. We also studied the effect of incorporating silver nanoparticles in the polymeric ...
Highly stable Ti3C2Tx (MXene)/Pt nanoparticles-modified glassy carbon electrode for H2O2 and small molecules sensing applications

Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
© 2018 Elsevier B.V. Electrochemical performance of a 2D Ti3C2Tx (MXene, where T: [dbnd]O, –OH, –F) sheets modified with Pt nanoparticles (PtNPs) was investigated. The results showed that Ti3C2Tx/PtNP nanocomposite deposited ...
Scanning Electron Microscopic Studies of Microwave Sintered Al-SiC Nanocomposites and Their Properties
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2018 , Article)
Al-metal matrix composites (AMMCs) reinforced with diverse volume fraction of SiC nanoparticles were synthesized using microwave sintering process. The effects of the reinforcing SiC particles on physical, microstructure, ...
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 ...
Stretchable Electrospun PVDF-HFP/Co-ZnO Nanofibers as Piezoelectric Nanogenerators
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2018 , Article)
Herein, we investigate the morphology, structure and piezoelectric performances of neat polyvinylidene fluoride hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) and PVDF-HFP/Co-ZnO nanofibers, fabricated by electrospinning. An increase in ...
Modulation of wettability, gradient and adhesion on self-assembled monolayer by counterion exchange and pH
(
Academic Press Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
In this study, two quaternary ammonium salts derived from L-lipoic acid were applied for self-assembled monolayers formation on rough structured gold surface. The derivatives differ in functionality since one possesses ...
