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 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 ... -
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 ...
