New composites based on waste PET and non-metallic fraction from waste printed circuit boards: Mechanical and thermal properties
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
Influence of the addition of three different non-metallic fractions (NMF), obtained by processing of printed circuit boards (PCBs), on the mechanical and thermal properties of unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) based ...
Nanomechanical and anti-stabbing properties of Kolon fabric composites reinforced with hybrid nanoparticles
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
In this study carbon nanotubes (CNT) and silica nanoparticles (SiO2) were added to enhance the dynamic mechanical and anti-stabbing properties of the polyurethaneip-aramid multiaxial fabric (Kolon fabric) composites for ...
Pectin-polyvinylpyrrolidone films: A sustainable approach to the development of biobased packaging materials
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
In this work, the new biodegradable blend films composed of natural polymer pectin and synthetic polymer polyvinylpyrrolidone were obtained through casting process. The concentration of glycerol in all formulations was ...
Biological activity of electrochemically synthesized silver doped polyvinyl alcohol/graphene composite hydrogel discs for biomedical applications
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Silver/poly(vinyl alcohol), Ag/PVA, and silver/poly(vinyl alcohol)/graphene, Ag/PVA/Gr, composite hydrogel discs were produced by freezing/thawing, followed by electrochemical reduction of Ag+ ions inside respective matrices, ...
Thermal properties and thermal stability of PP/MWCNT composites
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
The effects of the filler size and content on thermal properties and thermal stability of polypropylene (PP) composites filled with four different sizes of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were investigated through ...
Improvement of mechanical properties and antibacterial activity of crosslinked electrospun chitosan/poly (ethylene oxide) nanofibers
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
In this study conditions for green crosslinking with citric acid of chitosan/PEO (polyethylene oxide) nanofibers were evaluated. The thermal in situ crosslinking enabled penetration of crosslinking agent into the matrix ...
Physico-chemical and mechanical properties and antibacterial activity of silver/poly(vinyl alcohol)/graphene nanocomposites obtained by electrochemical method
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Silver/poly(vinyl alcohol) and silver/poly(vinyl alcohol)/graphene nanocomposites in different forms (colloid dispersion, thin films and hydrogel discs) were synthesized by electrochemical reduction of Ag+ ions at constant ...
Composite materials from fully bio-based thermosetting resins and recycled waste poly(ethylene terephthalate)
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
During the last two decades, interest in bio-based polymers, especially in bio-based composite materials, has grown as a result of environmental concerns. In this paper new composites obtained from fully bio-based unsaturated ...
Non destructive monitoring of cavitation erosion of cordierite based coatings
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Coating materials are widely used in refractory lining to prevent different deleterious effects such are reactions on the mold-metal contact surface, abrasion from liquid metal or alloy, gasses, slags, and other materials ...
Silver/poly(vinyl alcohol)/chitosan/graphene hydrogels - Synthesis, biological and physicochemical properties and silver release kinetics
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
This study presents the synthesis of novel silver/poly(vinyl alcohol)/chitosan/graphene (Ag/PVA/CHI/Gr) nanocomposite hydrogels by in situ electrochemical reduction of silver ions in the hydrogel matrix and their thorough ...
