Abstract The materials commonly used to fabricate thermoelectric devices are tellurium, lead, and germanium. These ensure the best performance, but exhibit drawbacks in terms of availability, sustainability, cost, manufacturing complexity. Moreover, they do not guarantee a safe cheap implementation wearable applications. Here, p‐Type n‐type flexible textiles produced with sustainable low‐cost through green scalable processes. Cotton is functionalized inks made biopolyester carbon...
Abstract Beeswax particles are homogenously emulsified in commercial aqueous polymer dispersion, without additional dispersing agents and surfactants. Emulsions display very good stability with wax droplet size distribution around 350 nm. The to ratio the emulsions can be tuned compromising emulsion stability. spray coated order create either hydrophobic or superhydrophobic coatings. For superhydrophobicity, silica nanoparticles dispersed at different concentrations. Beeswax‐rich coatings...
Novel nanocomposite proton-exchange membranes based on sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) and functionalized tantalum disulfide (S-TaS<sub>2</sub>) overcome the dichotomy of properties SPEEK for direct methanol fuel cells.
Abstract Polyurethane-urea (PUU) forms through the chemical reactions of prepolymer with diisocyanate-end groups and diamine. The mechanical properties PUU are explored by examining its hard soft segments. In addition to a melting temperature, this investigation involves determining glass transition temperature ( T g ) PUU, characteristic that marks shift from glassy rubbery state in materials. Those thermal potentially affected plasticiser commonly used overcome short pot life because high...
The leather tanning industry generates a substantial quantity of solid waste, which, in part, is discarded the environment landfills or incinerated. One alternative end-of-life solution to manufacture engineered materials by forming composites with thermoplastic polymer/binder. In this work, fibres (LFs) were melt-compounded into partially bio-based polyurethane (TPU), at fibre contents between 10 and 30% (TPU/LF), followed compression moulding 3D printing. results showed that incorporation...
Pressure sensors with capability to detect small physical movements and mechanical deformations have been widely used in wearable medical applications. However, devices that are commercially available currently require complex designs fabrication present only a limited force-range sensitivity. To simplify the design, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)/ carbon nanotubes (CNTs) composite film has developed using melt extrusion technique followed by compression moulding. were made from these...
Starch, as a natural, renewable, and biodegradable polysaccharide, is widely used in the food pharmaceutical industries. However, extreme water‐sensitivity poor tensile strength of starch materials have limited its practical application an engineering material. Here, authors blended with PVA to improve film formability, then, added Na‐MMT SNCs blend order enhance mechanical properties. Nanofillers are pure hybrid form study synergistic effect these two types nanofillers. SNCs, obtained by...
Stacked-cup carbon nanotubes (SCCNTs) are generally referred to as nanofibers (CNFs). SCCNTs much less expensive fabricate and regarded good polymer modifiers suitable for large-scale production. Flexible, SCCNT-based soy lecithin biocomposites were fabricated using liquid natural rubber latex binder. Natural polymers the dispersed in a green solvent benchtop high-pressure homogenizer. The inks simply brush-on painted onto cellulose fiber networks compacted by hydraulic press so transform...
Abstract Surrounded by oceans, building offshore wind turbines is a great strategy for archipelago countries, like Indonesia, to harvest renewable energy from wind. However, because of high rainfall rate, water droplet erosion on turbine blades inevitably be one the most challenging problems. It causes decreasing produced and increasing cost maintenance repairment. A novel coating material which has better mechanical properties therefore required. As preliminary step, this work aims...
Many common elastomeric products, including nitrile gloves, are manufactured by coagulant dipping. This process involves the destabilization and gelation of a latex dispersion an ionic coagulant. Despite widespread application, physical chemistry governing dipping is poorly understood. It unclear which properties electrolyte determine its efficacy as phenomena control growth gel. Here, novel experimental protocol developed to directly observe light microscopy. Gel imaged quantified for...
Leather is among the most traded commodities across globe, despite being one of ancient engineered natural materials and a by-product meat industry. This reflects high perceived commercial value but also unique physical properties like tear wear resistance, thermal stability, breathability. However, animal hide transformation to leather complex process, involving several carcinogenic chemicals, which impact heavily on environment. Moreover, meagre yield final products, combined with lack...
Beeswax is a natural hydrophobic phase change material. Its proper use in superhydrophobic coatings means increased of eco-friendly materials superhydrophobicity and also functionality. These low-cost can store latent heat be eventually implemented solar heating cooling buildings for significant energy savings. More found article number 1801782 by Sara Naderizadeh, Ilker S.
