Multifunctional nanocomposites for environmental remediation
Polyaniline-magnetite nanocomposites can efficiently remove Cr(VI) from polluted water, be retrieved easily with a magnet, be regenerated with acid, and be reused for further Cr(VI) removal.Mechanical performance of hybrid nanocomposites obtained by reactive blending
Modification of polypropylene by grafting with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes cage molecules enhances oxidation resistance, and does not markedly affect its mechanical properties except for ultimate elongation.Anisotropic mechanical behavior of polymeric foams
Standard strain-gauge tests and an optical technique both show that the compressive stress-strain response and yield behavior of a rigid foam vary by up to 100% depending on the direction of loading.Susceptibility of plastified starch to biodegradation
Potato starch plastified with glycerol using a twin-screw extruder under different conditions can vary the susceptibility of the plastic to micro-organisms.Improving the performance of maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene composites
Maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene facilitates the formation of β-type polypropylene, makes it more compatible with titanate-treated calcium carbonate, and increases the toughness of the composites.Nanocomposites via sol-gel reaction and nylon polymerization
Combining two common polymerization techniques generates reinforcing particles that increase modulus up to 20%.Enhancing polyamide properties with alumina whiskers
Short fibers with a different morphology and composition can improve the thermal stability of polyamide composites.Modeling post-fatigue behavior of nanocomposite fibers
Genetic artificial neural networks can predict the stress-strain response of fibers of poly(ethylene terephthalate) and its nanocomposites.Halloysite nanotubes as reinforcing fillers in polymeric nanocomposites
Modifying the surface of halloysite nanotubes by grafting with an aminosilane increases the dynamic-mechanical properties of the nanocomposite.Effect of a plasticizer on a solid polymer electrolyte
