Glycolysis of Polyurethanes Composites Containing Nanosilica

Nanosilica and Polyacrylate/Nanosilica: A Comparative Study of Acute Toxicity.

We compared the acute toxicity of nanosilica and polyacrylate/nanosilica instillation in Wistar rats (n = 60). Exposure to nanosilica and polyacrylate/nanosilica showed a 30% mortality rate. When compared with saline-treated rats, animals in both exposure groups exhibited a significant reduction of PO2 (P < 0.05) at both 24 and 72 hr. after exposure. Both exposure groups exhibited a significant...

Preparation and Characterization of Palm Kernel Shell/Polypropylene Biocomposites and their Hybrid Composites with Nanosilica

Hybrid composites are characterized by a variety of properties that are of interest to automotive applications, including strength, mechanical, and thermal properties. In this work, palm kernel shell-filled maleated polypropylene composites and palm kernel shell/nanosilica-filled maleated polypropylene hybrid composites were produced using a Brabender Internal Mixer. The results showed that the...

Effect of shoes containing nanosilica particles on knee valgus in active females during landing

Objective(s): The effect of silica nanoparticles (SNPs) in sport shoes outsoles on the  parameters related to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) Injury has not been investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of shoes outsole containing a composite of thermoplastic elastomer based on styrene-butadiene and silica nanoparticles (TPEN shoe) on Knee Valgus Angle (KVA) as a risk ...
