This article focuses on the hybridization of thermoplastic polymer matrices with conducting polymers and graphene derivatives. Polypropylene (PP), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) polyoxymethylene (POM) were used as primary polypyrrole (PPY) polyaniline (PANI) secondary polymers. Highly conductive-reduced oxide (rGO) (G) have been reinforcements. A Taguchi analysis has performed for blends to find optimal combination respect electrical conductivity (σ) mechanical properties.

The paper focuses on the investigation of 3D printing multi-functional composites using graphene nanoplatelets (GNP), polypyrrole (PPY) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). A holistic approach was performed characterization methods to assess properties printed compared with those compression molded neat LLDPE understand factors affecting their performance. It has been noted that have superior mechanical electrical than LLDPE, but slightly lower having high packing density fillers....

The purpose of this communication is to put forward some considerations and recommendations while handling nanomaterials, especially graphene its derivatives. A large sheet generally stable inert; thus, derivatives are not considered hazardous, but good laboratory practices should be taken seriously for the safe use such materials. This article provides insights about nanoscale important considerations.

Abstract This study focuses on the development of strain‐sensors utilizing biodegradable natural fabrics (cotton, flax, and wool) graphene nanoplatelets (GN) through novel coating techniques. A systematic improving electrical conductivity fiber to be used as effecting sensing stimuli was conducted by varying proportions graphene. To further enhance conductivity, GN hybridized with conducting polymers, such polypyrrole (PPy), polyaniline (PANI), carbon black (CB). The morphological,...

Abstract The viscous and elastic properties of fluid interfaces play an important role in the stability foams emulsions as well selection surfactants for tertiary oil recovery. These were determined aqueous solutions surfactant, polymer, polymer plus surfactant systems using a deep channel surface viscometer. rheology adsorbed film was represented terms two‐parameter Maxwell model. Depending on system investigated, films found to be either viscoelastic, purely viscous, neither nor elastic, or rigid.

Fabrication of electrically conductive yarns (glass, flax and polypropylene fibers) coated with graphene nanoparticles (GNP) were characterized for their mechanical properties compared electrical properties. The composites produced the use polymeric binders (epoxy resin thermoplastic starch) two different dip-coating methodologies developed to create coating layers. Technique-1 involved binder then GNP layer whereas Technique-2 had a mixture in predetermined ratio, which was on yarns....
