Impact of controlled hydrophobicity of the organically modified silicates on the properties of biomedical thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanocomposites
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013-09)
The impact of nanofiller surface modifications and hydrophobicity on the morphology and mechanical properties of the biomedical TPU nanocomposites was studied. We show that incorporating nanofillers with higher hydrophobicity ...
In vitro biostability of poly(dimethyl siloxane/hexamethylene oxide)-based polyurethane/layered silicate nanocomposites
(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
(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 ...
