Effects of Nanotube/Matrix Interface on Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Polymer Mechanical Properties
In this paper, experimental and Finite Element Methods have been used to determine mechanical properties of nanocomposites. Standard tensile and compression samples with 0.0, 0.15, 0.25, 0.35, 0.45, and 0.55 weight fraction of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT) were prepared and tested. Nanotube weight fraction was varied to investigate the effects of nanotube weight fraction on nanocomposite...
متن کاملStrain effects on the interface properties of nitride semiconductors
An ab initio study of nitride-based heteroepitaxial interfaces that uses norm-conserving pseudopotentials and explicitly treats the strain due to lattice mismatch is presented. Strain effects on the band offsets range from 20% to 40%. The AlN/GaN/InN interfaces ~with AlN in-plane lattice constant! are all of type I, while the Al 0.5Ga0.5N/AlN zinc-blende ~001! interface is of type II. Further, ...
متن کاملNanopatterned antimicrobial enzymatic surfaces combining biocidal and fouling release properties.
Surfaces incorporating the antimicrobial enzyme, lysozyme, have been previously demonstrated to effectively disrupt bacterial cellular envelopes. As with any surface active antimicrobial, however, lysozyme-expressing surfaces become limited in their utility by the accumulation of dead bacteria and debris. Surfaces modified with environmentally responsive polymers, on the other hand, have been s...
متن کاملBiocidal properties of anti-icing additives for aircraft fuels.
The biocidal and biostatic activities of seven glycol monoalkyl ether compounds were evaluated as part of an effort to find an improved anti-icing additive for jet aircraft fuel. Typical fuel contaminants, Cladosporium resinae, Gliomastix sp., Candida sp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and a mixed culture containing sulfate-reducing bacteria were used as assay organisms. Studies were carried out over...
متن کاملA review on biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles and their biocidal properties
Use of silver and silver salts is as old as human civilization but the fabrication of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) has only recently been recognized. They have been specifically used in agriculture and medicine as antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidants. It has been demonstrated that Ag NPs arrest the growth and multiplication of many bacteria such as Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus,...
