Heated-Tip AFM: Applications in Nanocomposite Polymer Membranes and Energetic Materials

Piezoelectric Ignition of Nanocomposite Energetic Materials Report

Piezoelectric initiators are a unique form of ignition for energetic material because the current and voltage are tied together by impact loading on the crystal. This study examines the ignition response of an energetic composite composed of aluminum (Al) and molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) nano-powders to the arc generated from a lead zirconate and lead titanate (PZT) piezocrystal. The mechanical s...

Bifunctional Polymer-Metal Nanocomposite Ion Exchange Materials

The unusual electrical, optical, magnetic, and chemical properties of metal colloids (better known in nowadays as metal nanoparticles, MNPs) have attracted increasing interest of scientists and technologists during the last decade. In fact, although Nanoscience and Nanotechnology are quite recent disciplines, there have already been a high number of publications that discuss these topics. [1-11...

Functional Polymer Nanocomposite Materials from Microfibrillated Cellulose

Application of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) in Polymer Materials

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful characterization tool for polymer science, capable of revealing surface structures with superior spatial resolution. AFM is extremely useful for studying the local surface molecular composition and mechanical properties of a broad range of polymer materials, including block copolymers, bulk polymers, thin-film polymers, polymer composites, and polymer...

Review on Green Polymer Nanocomposite and Their Applications

The present paper study about the green polymer nanocomposites (GPNCs), through this paper we study of bio-reinforced composites in automotive, construction, packaging and medical applications due to increased concern for environmental sustainability. In the study of Green polymer nanocomposites we learned unique properties of combining the advantages of natural fillers and organic polymers. Pl...
