Preparation and Mechanical Properties of Compositionally Graded Polyethylene/Clay Nanocomposites
This paper presents the preparation and mechanical properties of compatibilized compositionally graded Polyethylene/ low density polyethylene (LDPE)/ modified montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites prepared by solution and melt mixing techniques. Use of polyethylene glycol as compatibilizer improves compatibility of modified montmorillonite and low density polyethylene. Comparisons between two t...
متن کاملCO2 and Water Vapor Exchange across Leaf Cuticle (Epidermis) at Various Water Potentials.
Cuticular properties affect the gas exchange of leaves, but little is known about how much CO2 and water vapor cross the cuticular barrier or whether low water potentials affect the process. Therefore, we measured the cuticular conductances for CO2 and water vapor in grape (Vitis vinifera L.) leaves having various water potentials. The lower leaf surface was sealed to force all gas exchange thr...
متن کاملPolysulfone/ Carbon Nanotubes Asymmetric Nanocomposite Membranes: Effect of Nanotubes Surface Modification on Morphology and Water Permeability
Polysulfone/carbon nanotubes (PSF/CNTs) nanocomposite membrane was prepared via phase inversion induced by immersion precipitation technique. In addition, the surface of the CNTs were functionalized by polar carboxylic and amine groups to improve the interaction between the CNTs and the polymer matrix. For this purpose, the neat CNTs were chemically treated using sulfuric acid/ nitric acid (H2S...
متن کاملWater transport in cation exchange membranes
The time variation in emf caused by pressure differences has been used to find transference coefficients of water as well as water permeabilities in ion exchange membranes. Previous experimental methods have been corrected and facilitated. The cation exchange membrane CR61 AZL 386 was investigated. Equilibrium solutions contained 10-4 kmol_m-3 < CKC~ < 10-1 kmol_m-3, or constant concentration o...
