Nanocellulose as building block for novel materials [PDF]

, 2012
This thesis describes the fabrication of novel green materials using nanocellulose as the building block. Bacterial cellulose (BC) was used as the nanocellulose predominantly in this work. BC is highly crystalline pure cellulose with an inherent fibre

Molecular Cross‐Linking of MXenes: Tunable Interfaces and Chemiresistive Sensing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, Ti3C2Tx MXenes are initially functionalized using oleylamine ligands to form stable dispersions in an organic solvent. Subsequently ligand exchange with α,ω‐diaminoalkanes enables cross‐linking, along with precise tuning of interfaces. This structural control translates into tunable charge transport and responsive VOC sensing, showing ...

Microplastics from Wearable Bioelectronic Devices: Sources, Risks, and Sustainable Solutions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioelectronic devices (e.g., e‐skins) heavily rely on polymers that at the end of their life cycle will generate microplastics. For research, a holistic approach to viewing the full impact of such devices cannot be overlooked. The potential for devices as sources for microplastics is raised, with mitigation strategies surrounding polysaccharide and ...

Nanoclay assisted ultra-drawing of polypropylene tapes

Nanocomposites, 2019
Isotactic polypropylene (i-PP) – montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposite films were prepared by melt-compounding and hot-pressing. The influence of organoclays on the mechanical properties and drawability of these isotropic composite films was investigated ...

Styrenic Polymer Nanocomposites Based on an Oligomerically-Modified Clay with High Inorganic Content [PDF]

, 2006
Clay was modified with an oligomeric surfactant containing styrene and lauryl acrylate units along with a small amount of vinylbenzyl chloride to permit the formation of an ammonium salt so that this can be attached to a clay. The oligomerically-modified

Roll‐to‐Roll Mechanical Exfoliation for Large‐Area van der Waals Films with Preserved Crystallographic Alignment

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A roll‐to‐roll exfoliation method is demonstrated that preserves the crystallographic alignment of anisotropic 2D materials over large areas, enabling scalable fabrication of directional electronic and optoelectronic devices. Abstract Anisotropic 2D materials such as black phosphorus (BP), GeS or CrSBr, exhibit direction‐dependent optical and ...
