In this study nanocomposites of polyamide-6 (PA-6) reinforced with silica nanoparticles (SiO2) were prepared in order to promote improved mechanical properties for engineering applications. The nanoparticles’ surfaces ...

Mg-based nanocomposites are considered promising materials for hydrogen storage in the solid state. In this work, Mg-based nanocomposites containing iron-based (Fe, Fe2O3, FeF3) and niobium-based (Nb, Nb2O5, NbF5) additives ...

Nanocomposite fibers with polymer matrix have many applications, such as protective clothing, filtration and artificial blood vessels. Many of these applications require that the fiber has nanometric size due to some ...

The use of metal oxide nanoparticles in nanocomposite has provided new and interesting properties and is one of the most promising areas in composites. Compatibility between these nanoparticles and polymer matrix is the ...

The main objectives of this project were to study the morphology, the crystallization kinetics and to monitor on-line the crystallization during the injection molding process using an optical system of nanocomposites of ...

In this work conductive polymer nanocomposites (CPNs) based on block copolymers and multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were obtained. Two of the copolymers were commercial: polystyrene-b-polybutadiene-b-polystyrene ...

Blown of films is one of the most important processes of polymers for packaging application. The final properties are strongly linked with the morphology developed during the processing. The relationship between process ...

Nanocomposites based on polyamide 6 (PA6) and acrylonitrile-butadienestyrene (ABS) blends compatibilized with styrene-maleic anhydride-acrylonitrile (SANMA) and methyl methacrylate-maleic anhydride (MA-MMA) were prepared by ...

In this study an aqueous dispersion of a polyethylene copolymer with a content of 6 wt% of acrylic acid was used as an alternative medium for incorporation of cellulosic fibers (FC), nanofibrils (NFC) and lignocellulosic ...

Magnesium is light, abundant and it can store up to 7.6 wt. % of hydrogen forming the hydride MgH2 and therefore it is a promising material for hydrogen storage. However, the H-sorption occurs at relatively high temperatures ...
