Synthesis and characterization of silver/poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) hydrogel nanocomposite obtained by in situ radiolytic method
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2011)
This work describes radiolytic synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) within the poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) hydrogel. The hydrogel matrix was obtained by gamma irradiation-induced cross-linking, while the in ...
Thermoplastic Copolyester Elastomers
(Handbook of Engineering and Speciality Thermoplastics: Polyethers and Polyesters, 2011)
In this chapter the preparation, structure and properties of thermoplastic copolyester elastomers, TPEE, are presented. TPEEs are multiblock copolymers built up from so-called short crystallizable hard segments and long ...
Antimicrobial P(HEMA/IA)/PVP semi-interpenetrating network hydrogels
(Springer, New York, 2013)
New semi-interpenetrating networks (semi-IPNHs) (P(HEMA/IA)/PVP) were prepared by free radical crosslinking copolymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and itaconic acid (IA, 5 mol%), in the presence of poly(vinyl ...
Preparation, characterization and mechanical properties of Bi12SiO20-PMMA composite films
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2014)
This paper investigates processing and characterization of polymer composite material PMMA-Bi12SiO20 (BSO). Thin films of pure PMMA and composites with 0.5 and 1.0 wt% of Bi12SiO20 powder were made using solution casting ...
Monolithic nanocrystalline SiC ceramics
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Additive-free beta-SiC nanopowders were densified by using high-pressure "anvil-type with hollows" apparatus at the pressure of 4 GPa in the range of 1500-1900 degrees C. The starting powder with average particle size of ...
Dual responsive antibacterial Ag-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide/itaconic acid) hydrogel nanocomposites synthesized by gamma irradiation
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
Thermo- and pH-sensitive Ag-P(NiPAAm/IA) hydrogel nanocomposites were prepared by in situ reduction of Ag+ ions with gamma irradiation. P(NiPAAm/IA) copolymer hydrogel matrices have been previously synthesized by radiation ...
The effect of graphene loading on mechanical, thermal and biological properties of poly(vinyl alcohol)/graphene nanocomposites
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2016)
Poly(vinyl alcohol)/graphene (PVA/Gr) nanocomposite was synthesized with the aim of developing a novel improved material. The PVA/Gr nanocomposite was characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, Raman ...
Improvement of the mechanical properties of paper by starch coatings modified with sepiolite nanoparticles
(Wiley-VCH Verlag Gmbh, Weinheim, 2015)
The modern and rapidly developing paper and board industry requires more efficient agents for the surface of paper in order to improve the mechanical properties. The starch coating used for the reinforcement of schrenz ...
Optimization of Al2O3 particle modification and UHMWPE fiber oxidation of EVA based hybrid composites: Compatibility, morphological and mechanical properties
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE, PE)/oxidized PE (ox-PE) fibers and alumina reinforcement were used in preparation of poly (ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA)/hydrolyzed EVA (EVAOH) based composites. Different ...
Aramid hybrid composite laminates reinforced with inorganic fullerene-like tungsten disulfide nanoparticles
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
Combination of phenolic resin with poly (vinyl butyral), PVB, is often used as impregnation of aramid fabrics in prepregs for the ballistic protection products. In this study an effect of inorganic fullerene-like tungsten ...
