We describe a facile and scalable surface treatment for the functionalization of graphene sheets (GSs). The approach consists plasma GSs by first covalently attaching fluorine then exposing obtained fluorinated (F-GSs) to polymerization initiator such as butylamine at room temperature. Infrared X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy have been used demonstrate that both fluorination subsequent attachment amino groups thorough elimination atoms obtained. successful dispersion nanosheets in organic...
Poly(lactic acid)-cellulose nanocrystals (PLA/CNC) nanocomposite fibers with 1% weight fraction of were prepared <italic>via</italic> melt-spinning.
The main objective of this work was to develop bio-based and biodegradable bilayer systems with antioxidant properties. outer layer based on a compression-molded poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV)-based material while electrospun fibers poly(lactic acid) (PLA) poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) blends formed the inner active layer. In particular, PLA blended 25 wt% PHB increase crystallinity reduce fiber defects. Moreover, in order stretchability facilitate electrospinning...
In this work poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) based electrospun mats were prepared by blending PCL with microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB). The electrospinning processing parameters firstly optimized the aim to obtain scalable PCL-based be used in industrial sector. Neat as well PCL-MCC PCL-PHB different proportions (99:1; 95:5; 90:10) prepared. A complete morphological, thermal mechanical characterization of developed materials was carried out. Scanning electron...
