Cellulose nanocrystal reinforced oxidized natural rubber nanocomposites.
Natural rubber (NR) latex particles were oxidized using KMnO4 as oxidant to promote the insertion of hydroxyl groups in the surface polyisoprene chains. Different degrees of oxidation were investigated. Both unoxidized and oxidized NR (ONR) latex were used to prepare nanocomposite films reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) by casting/evaporation. The oxidation of NR was carried out to ...
متن کاملStructural rheology of microphase separated diblock copolymers
We formulate a viscoelastic theory for interconnected microphase separated structures such as a double gyroid in diblock copolymer melts. We consider the energy increase and the energy dissipation due to the deformation of interconnected periodic domains. The dominant elastic part agrees with previous analytical results obtained by a phase formulation of deformations. It is shown that a viscous...
متن کاملEpoxy-Clay Nanocomposites: Dispersion, Morphology and Performance
The exfoliated nanocomposite is of particular interest because it maximizes the interactions between polymers and clays, and thus it should result in dramatic improvements in mechanical and physical properties. However, it seems to be very difficult to exfoliate organoclay in epoxy resins. Organoclay is always aggregated on the micro-scale in epoxy resins with conventional dispersion methods. B...
متن کاملHigh-performance thermoelectric nanocomposites from nanocrystal building blocks.
The efficient conversion between thermal and electrical energy by means of durable, silent and scalable solid-state thermoelectric devices has been a long standing goal. While nanocrystalline materials have already led to substantially higher thermoelectric efficiencies, further improvements are expected to arise from precise chemical engineering of nanoscale building blocks and interfaces. Her...
متن کاملHigh performance cellulose nanocomposites: comparing the reinforcing ability of bacterial cellulose and nanofibrillated cellulose.
This work investigates the surface and bulk properties of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) and bacterial cellulose (BC), as well as their reinforcing ability in polymer nanocomposites. BC possesses higher critical surface tension of 57 mN m(-1) compared to NFC (41 mN m(-1)). The thermal degradation temperature in both nitrogen and air atmosphere of BC was also found to be higher than that of NFC...
