Improving the efficiency of dye sensitized solar cells by TiO2-graphene nanocomposite photoanode
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
Nanocomposite photoanodes were prepared by addition of graphene (GR) micro-platelets to TiO2 nanoparticulate paste. TiO2/graphene based DSSCs were fabricated using Z907 photosensitizer. Transmission electron microscope was ...
Transparent conducting electrodes based on thin, ultra-long Copper nanowires and graphene nano-composites
(
SPIE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
High aspect-ratio ultra-long (> 70 ?m) and thin (< 50 nm) copper nanowires (Cu-NW) were synthesized in large quantities using a solution-based approach. The nanowires, along with reduced graphene-oxide sheets, were coated ...
Influence of anionic surface modifiers on the thermal stability and mechanical properties of layered double hydroxide/polypropylene nanocomposites
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2015 , Article)
Organo-layered double hydroxide/polypropylene (LDH/PP) nanocomposites were successfully synthesized via a solution blending method. As an attempt to improve the compatibility with hydrophobic PP, the LDH surface was modified ...
Stretchable quaternary phasic PVDF-HFP nanocomposite films containing graphene-titania-SrTiO3 for mechanical energy harvesting

Integrating efficient energy harvesting materials in to soft, flexible, and eco-friendly substrates could yield significant breakthroughs in wearable and flexible electronics. Substantial advances are emerged in fabricating ...
Effect of filler size on thermophysical and electrical behavior of nanocomposites based on expanded graphite nanoparticles filled in low-density polyethylene matrix
(2013 , Article)
Various aspects of electrical and thermophysical properties of nanocomposites based on low-density polyethylene matrix filled with nanostructuralized expanded graphite (EG) and standard, microsized graphite are presented ...
Enhanced morphology and mechanical characteristics of clay/styrene butadiene rubber nanocomposites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Achieving complete exfoliation of clay in their polymer nanocomposite is a matter of interest as it can significantly affect the material properties. Herein, an efficient way of enhancing the interlayer spaces of organically ...
Nanocomposite photoactuators based on an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer filled with carbon nanotubes
(2013 , Article)
This paper reports strong, reversible actuation of nanocomposites on the base of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) filled with multiwalled (MWCNTs) and singlewalled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The carbon nanotubes (CNTs) dispersion ...
Elastomeric photo-actuators and their investigation by confocal laser scanning microscopy
(2013 , Article)
The photo-actuation behavior of nanocomposites based on ethylene-vinylacetate copolymer (EVA) and styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS) block copolymer filled with well-dispersed and modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) ...
Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) based polymer nanocomposite membranes for gas separation
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2012 , Article)
As synthesised ZIF-8 nanoparticles (size ∼ 60 nm and specific surface area ∼ 1300–1600 m2 g−1) were directly incorporated into a model polymer matrix (Matrimid® 5218) by solution mixing. This produces flexible transparent ...
Effect of hot extrusion and T6 heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-10Zn-3.5Mg-2.5Cu nanocomposite reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Al-10Zn-3.5Mg-2.5Cu/graphene nanocomposites were developed by a combination of liquid metallurgy and hot extrusion techniques. The effect of varying graphene content (0.1%, 0.3%, 0.7% and 1.0%) on microstructure and ...
