The transport behaviour of some aromatic and aliphatic solvents through carbon nanotube filled styrene butadiene rubber composites has been investigated. aim the present work is to investigate role sorption technique in analysing compatibility reinforcing effect MWCNTs as a filler SBR matrix. It also focuses on investigation relationship between dispersion CNTs matrix its behaviour. diffusion organic membranes have investigated detail function CNT content, nature solvent temperature range...
Cross-linked polyethylene is one of the most widely used thermosetting plastics. Due to its low cost, lightweight, and exceptional insulation properties against electricity heat, it frequently as an material for wires cables. This polymer attracted interest in several different applications, including building services, piping systems, hydronic radiant heating, cooling etc. However, because XLPE a plastic with limited fluidity poor moldability, recycling this cross-linked form extremely...
Abstract Considerable interest in food packaging research has been prompted by the rising environmental impact of waste, customer awareness for readily accessible foods with extended shelf life, and ecological consciousness about scarcity natural resources. The utilization plastic-based resulted a significant concern due to accumulation substantial quantities plastic surrounding areas. Research efforts are being motivated health considerations pursuit developing biodegradable films. Besides,...
Bentonite clay/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) inorganic/organic hybrid nanocomposite membranes were prepared via solvent casting method. A series of PVA have been by varying the concentration bentonite clay. Nanoscale dispersion clay affected properties PVA. with 5 wt % showed better enhancement in properties. Both X-ray diffration and transmission electron microscopy uniform exfoliated structure membranes. The effective separation azeotropic composition isopropanol (IPA) water mixtures was also...
Biorefinery, the process of converting biomass to value-added materials, is gaining significant interest because depletion natural resources and an increasing awareness need for sustainable development material production. Silk sericin, abundantly available byproduct sericulture industry, has been identified biorefinery usage since it biodegradable, bioavailable, pH temperature-responsive, naturally photoluminescent, antioxidant properties, a GRAS FDA-safe food additive. This Perspective...
Rubber (elastomer) based polymer nanocomposites have attracted wide range of attention from industries and other fields due to its exceptionally good mechanical, thermal electrical properties. One the promising candidates this category is CNT filled rubber nanocomposites. This review throws light on historical trajectory development Various fabrication methods, detailed explanation reinforcement mechanism in CNT/rubber relationship between structure properties are reviewed. The next part...
The compatibilizing action of clay in polypropylene (PP)/natural rubber (NR) blends and its effect on mechanical properties have been investigated.
Summary Wetting properties and surface energy characteristics of cross‐linked polyethylene (XLPE) with different nanofillers (such as Al 2 O 3 , SiO TiO clay) were studied using contact angle measurements water dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvents. Similar trend variation was found for both the kinds systems. In nanocomposites, high packing density macromolecules on super molecular level (with marked ordering even in quasi‐amorphous regions) create steric kinetic hindrances penetration solvent...
Rising sustainability demands the search of new low-market-value sources lignocellulosic biomass as raw material for nanocellulose processing. In this paper, we accordingly propose isolation from Prosopis juliflora, an abundant but environmentally undesired tree. P. juliflora wood was powered, refined by steam explosion and bleaching, subsequently used to isolate cellulose nanocrystals nanofibers means acid hydrolysis mechanical fibrillation. The derived had a rod-shaped structure with...
Nanomaterials have engaged response from the scientific world in recent decades due to their exceptional physical and chemical properties counter bulk. They been widely used a polymer matrix improve mechanical, thermal, barrier, electronic properties. In rubber nanocomposites, nanofillers dispersion interfacial adhesion between fillers influences composites factual present work, comparison of hybrid effects carbon black with two different (graphene oxide nanoclay) was studied. The 70/30...
Nanocomposite membranes based on poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) copolymer (18% vinyl acetate content) and two different organomodified clays have been prepared by mechanical mixing using roll mill method. The morphology of the nanocomposites was investigated small angle X-ray scattering, scanning electron microscopy, transmission microscopy. thermal studies were also performed universal testing machine differential calorimeter, respectively. Samples with low filler content showed excellent...
In this paper, the calorimetric response of amorphous phase was examined in hybrid nanocomposites which were prepared thanks to a facile synthetic route, by adding reduced graphene oxide (rGO), Cloisite 30B (C30B), or multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) lignin-filled poly(lactic acid) (PLA). The dispersion both lignin and nanofillers successful, according field-emission scanning-electron microscopy (FESEM) analysis. Lignin alone essentially acted as crystallization retardant for PLA, shared...
The augmented demand for sustainable nanocomposites has paved the way to explore naturally derived materials.Nanocellulose, with its bountiful sources and inherent properties, ranks top in list of biofillers a perspective reducing carbon footprint.A systematic study is required understand reinforcing effect various types nanocellulose.In present work, we selected three nanocellulose, i.e., cellulose nanocrystal (CNC), nanofiber (CNF) microfibrillated (MFC), investigate geometrical structure...
