Crystallization in Nanocomposites

, 2016
Nanocomposites based on polymer matrices have been studied extensively. In the majority of these studies, the focus has been the enhancements in properties through the addition of relatively small quantities of nanoparticles. In the chapter, we centre our attention on the effects, if any, of the nanoparticles on the behaviour of the polymer matrix and ...

Effects of dispersion surfactants on the properties of ceramic – carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposites [PDF]

, 2014
Gum Arabic (GA), Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) and their mixture were used for the dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in an alumina matrix. A good dispersion at low loadings (0.5-1 wt%) of CNTs in alumina was achieved by an ultrasonic bath

Vacancy–vacancy pairs induced new phase formation in carbon boride: A design principle to achieve superior performance Li/Na‐ion battery anodes

EcoMat, 2022
Defect engineering is a desired manner to promote the performance of electrodes. Herein, by employing the boron atom substitution and carbon–boron vacancy–vacancy pairs in graphene, a defect‐induced two‐dimensional new phase, popC5B, is formed.

Polymer-clay Nanocomposites [PDF]

, 2004
PhDPolymer-clay nanocomposites are attracting global interest principally because property enhancements are obtained at low clay particle loadings (1-5 wt%). However there is lack of fundamental understanding of such composites.

Electrochemical Sensing toward Trace As(III) Based on Mesoporous MnFe2O4/Au Hybrid Nanospheres Modified Glass Carbon Electrode

Sensors, 2016
Au nanoparticles decorated mesoporous MnFe2O4 nanocrystal clusters (MnFe2O4/Au hybrid nanospheres) were used for the electrochemical sensing of As(III) by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV). Modified on a cheap glass carbon electrode, these
