Novel Antibacterial and Toughened Carbon-Fibre/Epoxy Composites by the Incorporation of TiO2 Nanoparticles Modified Electrospun Nanofibre Veils
(MDPI, 2019-09-19)
The inclusion of electrospun nanofiber veils was revealed as an effective method for enhancing the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced epoxy resin composites. These veils will eventually allow the incorporation of ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Covalently Crosslinked pH-Responsive Hyaluronic Acid Nanogels: Effect of Synthesis Parameters
(MDPI, 2019-04-24)
Stable hyaluronic acid nanogels were obtained following the water-in-oil microemulsion method by covalent crosslinking with three biocompatible crosslinking agents: Divinyl sulfone, 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE), ...
Characterization and Optimization of the Alkaline Hydrolysis of Polyacrylonitrile Membranes
(MDPI, 2019-11-08)
There is currently an increasing interest in the development of polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based membranes with new and enhanced properties which are of special importance in the processes of pervaporation, purification, and ...
TiO2-Doped Electrospun Nanofibrous Membrane for Photocatalytic Water Treatment
(MDPI, 2019-04-26)
This work has been focused on the one-step fabrication by electrospinning of polyamide 6 (PA6) nanofibre membranes modified with titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2), where these TiO2 nanoparticles aggregates could induce ...
The Effect of the Isomeric Chlorine Substitutions on the Honeycomb-Patterned Films of Poly(x-chlorostyrene)s/Polystyrene Blends and Copolymers via Static Breath Figure Technique
(MDPI, 2019-01-07)
Polymeric thin films patterned with honeycomb structures were prepared from poly(x-chlorostyrene) and statistical poly(x-chlorostyrene-co-styrene) copolymers by static breath figure method. Each polymeric sample was ...
Toward Advanced Functional Systems: Honeycomb-Like Polymeric Surfaces Incorporating Polyoxovanadates with Surface-Appended Copper-Cyclam Complexes
(MDPI, 2019-06-22)
In this work the immobilization of hybrid polyoxometalates (POMs) onto functional polymeric surfaces is exposed and discussed. Thus, various hybrid polymerinorganic films were prepared by anchoring selected hybrid POMs ...
Optimized silk fibroin piezoresistive nanocomposites for pressure sensing applications based on natural polymers
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-06-01)
Environmental issues promote the development of sensors based on natural polymers which are becoming an area of increasing interest. Piezoresistive sensors based on silk fibroin with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as fillers were ...
