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 ...
Effect of processing route on the morphology of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanocomposites incorporating organofluoromica
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)
In the production of polymer nanocomposites, the processing method determines the dispersion of the nanofiller and hence, the final nanocomposite properties. In this work, the potential of high energy milling of the ...
Effects of processing method and nanofiller size on mechanical properties of biomedical thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanocomposites
(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 ...
Polyolefin layered silicates nanocomposites - A review
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)
A review is given of polyolefins layered silicates nanocomposites. This group of commodity thermoplastic is widely used and gain a great attention among researcher now days for nanocomposite preparation with layered silicates ...
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 ...
Effect of kenaf fibre Mat layers and Zinc Oxide Nanoparticle Concentration on the Mechanical and Thermal Properties of ZnONPs/kenaf/polyester Composites
(IOP Publishing, 2018)
Zinc oxide nanoparticle kenaf polyester composite (ZnONPs/kenaf/polyester)
containing 1, 2, 3 and 4 layers of kenaf fibre treated with 40nm 2% (w/w) and 5 % (w/w ) of
ZnONPs were prepared and characterised to evaluate ...
Effect of Kenaf Fibre Layers on Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Kenaf/Unsaturated Polyester Composites
(IOP Publishing, 2018)
Composites of kenaf/unsaturated polyester containing 1layer up to 4 layers of kenaf fibre were studied to evaluate the mechanical and thermal properties. These composites were compared with a control system containing ...
Thermal properties of ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA)/ montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites for biomedical applications
(EDP Sciences, 2016)
The viability of nanocomposites comprising Ethyl Vinyl Acetate (EVA) filled montmorillonite (MMT) nanoclay as candidate materials of biomedical devices was investigated. EVA/MMT nanocomposites were prepared by incorporating ...
