Hydrothermal synthesis of photo-catalyst and photo-luminescence polymer-CdS flexible nanocomposites
CdS nanoparticles are II-VI group semiconductor in nature with suitable band gap for photoluminescence and photo-catalyst applications. CdS nanostructures were synthesized via a facile precipitation method in the presence of green capping agents such as starch, glucose, gelatin, salicylic acid in the green solvent of water. The influence of concentration, surfactant, precipitating agent on the ...
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 کاملImprovement of Fracture Toughness in Epoxy Nanocomposites through Chemical Hybridization of Carbon Nanotubes and Alumina
The current study investigated the effect of adding a carbon nanotube-alumina (CNT-Al₂O₃) hybrid on the fracture toughness of epoxy nanocomposites. The CNT-Al₂O₃ hybrid was synthesised by growing CNTs on Al₂O₃ particles via the chemical vapour deposition method. The CNTs were strongly attached onto the Al₂O₃ particles, which served to transport and disperse the CNTs homogenously, and to prevent...
متن کاملMultiscale dispersion-state characterization of nanocomposites using optical coherence tomography
Nanocomposite materials represent a success story of nanotechnology. However, development of nanomaterial fabrication still suffers from the lack of adequate analysis tools. In particular, achieving and maintaining well-dispersed particle distributions is a key challenge, both in material development and industrial production. Conventional methods like optical or electron microscopy need labori...
متن کاملTrans-interfacial polymerization and matter transport processes in epoxy-alumina nanocomposites visualized by scanning Brillouin microscopy.
The structural developments in the vicinity of the interface between the reactants of an epoxy are investigated using time- and space-resolved scanning Brillouin microscopy. The hypersonic profile across the phase boundary evolves with strong spatial asymmetry and exhibits erratic behavior within the resin-rich region, which is attributed to a complex interplay between matter transport, dissolu...
