Generation of photo charge in poly(ethyleneimine)-TiO2-anthocyanin modified papers conditioned at different humidities
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The article describes the influence of humidity on the surface photodielectric properties of papers prepared from poly(ethyleneimine)-TiO2 nanoparticles-anthocyanin modified cellulose fibres. The anthocyanins were extracted ...
The missing piece of the puzzle regarding the relation between the degree of superhydrophobicity and the corrosion resistance of superhydrophobic coatings
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
This work supplies the missing piece of the puzzle regarding the unclear relation between the water contact angle (WCA) of a superhydrophobic coating (SHC) and its corrosion protection performance. Generally, an increase ...
Synthesis and electrochemical characterization of Cr-doped lithium-rich Li1.2Ni0.16Mn0.56Co0.08-xCrxO2 cathodes
(
Springer Nature
, 2018 , Article)
Lithium-rich layer oxide, Li1.2Ni0.16Mn0.56Co0.08O2 (NMC), is a potential cathode candidate for high-energy density batteries. Issues such as cycling stability, rate performance, and cost are yet to be overcome before ...
Nanofibrous alginate membrane coated with cellulose nanowhiskers for water purification
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Article)
The aim of this study was to develop a filtration membrane based on two-layered nanoscale alginate nanofibres reinforced with maize cellulose nanowhiskers (diameter between 3 and 12 nm). Reinforcing of the membrane with ...
Influence of TiO2 nanoparticles on the crystallization behaviour and tensile properties of PLA/TiO2, PCL/TiO2 and PLA/PCL/TiO2 nanocomposites.
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Article)
This paper investigated the influence of TiO2 nanoparticles on the morphologies, as well as crystallization behaviour and kinetics, of neat PLA and PCL, and of these polymers in different PLA/PCL blends. We used transmission ...
Bentonite-decorated calix [4] arene: A new, promising hybrid material for heavy-metal removal
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
There is global concern about the contamination of ground, river, and tap waters as well as soil contamination with heavy metal ions; these chemical species are known to not degrade and to cause severe health problems if ...
Magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) for chromatographic separation of carbamates.
(
Wiley
, 2018 , Article)
Magnetic solid phase extraction particles (MSPE) were produced using magnetite nanoparticles with diameters between 9 and 13 nm as nucleating agent. The produced particles with magnetite cores were smaller, and more irregular ...
Charge-trapping capability and AC conductivity at different humidities of poly(ethyleneimine)-TiO2-anthocyanin modified cellulose fibres.
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Article)
Modified cellulose materials are finding increasing application in electronics, because of the need for more environmental-friendly electronic circuits. The papers prepared from poly(ethyleneimine)–TiO2–anthocyanin-modified ...
Poly(lactic acid)-starch/Expandable Graphite (PLA-starch/EG) Flame Retardant Composites
(
Scrivener Publishing
, 2018 , Article)
This work reports on the effect of commercial expandable graphite (EG) on the flammability and thermal
decomposition properties of PLA-starch blend. The PLA-starch/EG composites were prepared by melt-mixing
and their ...
Laser Induced Periodic Surface Structures on Nano Metal Oxide filled Polyvinylidene Fluoride Nanocomposites
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
The ability of polarized pulsed laser in surface modification of substrate surfaces without thermally destroying them is a well-established concept of scientific procedure. In this work, we report the laser induced surface ...
