This paper presents the fabrication of hydrophobic polymer nanomaterials with improved thermal characteristics based on MWCNTs and poly(dimethylsiloxane). The samples were synthesized by physical adsorption poly(dimethylsiloxane) onto P-MWCNTs surfaces in amount from 5 to 20 wt%. effect different content adsorbed structure properties prepared nanocomposites was studied detail using ATR-FTIR, SEM, TEM, XRD RS techniques. XPS results showed that increase PDMS surfaces, Si 2p atomic percentage...
A series of composites based on nanohydroxyapatite (nHAp) and natural polysaccharides (PS) (nHAp/agar, nHAp/chitosan, nHAp/pectin FB300, APA103, nHAp/sodium alginate) was synthesized by liquid-phase two-step method characterized using nitrogen adsorption-desorption, DSC, TG, FTIR spectroscopy, SEM. The analysis adsorption-desorption data shows that with a nHAp: PS ratio 4:1 exhibit sufficiently high specific surface area from 49 to 82 m2/g. incremental pore size distributions indicate mainly...
The nanostructure of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) adsorption layer on the surface mesoporous-activated carbon HPA obtained by physical activation residue after supercritical extraction hops was characterized. This characterization has been done based analysis determination adsorbed polymer amount, charge density, and zeta potential solid particles (without in PAA presence). SEM, thermogravimetric, FTIR, MS techniques have allowed one to examine morphology specify different kinds groups. effects...
This study deals with effects on structure, molecular mobility, and interfacial polymer–nanoparticles (NPs), arising from modification of silica NPs by grafting small polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) chains, via siloxane bond breaking, in combination polymer weight, Wm, both below above the entanglement threshold (Wm,e ≈ 8k). According to infrared (IR), upon PDMS, coverage surface hydroxyls is almost complete (100%) uniform for short whereas it lower, ∼60%, longer chains (non-uniform). The...
The novel organic-inorganic biohybrid composite adsorbent was synthesized based on nanosized silica-titania modified with alginate within the development of effective for heavy metal ions. Effects species Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), and Pb(II); concentrations; pH; temperature; adsorption onto titania-coated silica (ST20) initial or by sodium (ST20-ALG) were studied. equilibrium kinetic data ions analyzed using Langmuir Freundlich models models: pseudo first order, second intraparticle model,...
A series of TiO2–ZrO2/SiO2 nanocomposites were synthesized using a liquid-phase method and characterized by various techniques, namely, nitrogen adsorption–desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, photon correlation (PCS). It was revealed that the component ratio calcination temperature affect phase composition nanocomposites. Composites TiZrSi1 (TiO2:ZrO2:SiO2 = 3:10:87) TiZrSi2 (10:10:80)...
