Effects of processing method and nanofiller size on mechanical properties of biomedical thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanocomposites
Azlin Fazlina, Osman; Edwards, Grant; Martin, Darren (Trans Tech Publications, 2014-03)The effects of processing method and nanofiller size on mechanical performance of biomedical thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)-organosilicate nanocomposites were examined. High energy milled organofluoromica nanofillers ... -
In vitro biostability of poly(dimethyl siloxane/hexamethylene oxide)-based polyurethane/layered silicate nanocomposites
Andriani, Yosephine; Morrow, Isabel C.; Taran, Elena; Edwards, Grant A.; Schiller, Tara L.; Azlin Fazlina, Osman; Martin, Darren J. (Elsevier Ltd., 2013-09)We have prepared a number of silicone-based thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanocomposites and demonstrated an enhancement of in vitro biostability against metal-ion-induced oxidation for potential use in long-term ... -
Organization of mixed dimethyldioctadecylammonium and choline modifiers on the surface of synthetic hectorite
Andriani, Yosephine; Jack, Kevin S.; Gilbert, Elliot P.; Edwards, Grant A.; Schiller, Tara L.; Strounina, Ekaterina V.; Azlin Fazlina, Osman; Martin, Darren J. (Elsevier Inc., 2013-11)Understanding the nature of mixed surfactant self-assembly on the surface of organoclays is an important step toward optimizing their performance in polymer nanocomposites and for other potential applications, where selective ...
