Preparation of PMMA/MWNTs Nanocomposite Microcellular Foams by In-situ Generation of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide
Nanocomposites containing poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and surface functionalized Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWNTs) were synthesized. The dispersion of MWNTs in PMMA was characterized using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM).The synthesized nanocomposites were successfully foamed using a simple method based on the in-situ generation of supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2</sub...
متن کاملMicrocellular foams made from gliadin
We have generated closed-cell microcellular foams from gliadin, an abundantly available wheat storage protein. The extraction procedure of gliadin from wheat gluten, which involves only the natural solvents water and ethanol, respectively, is described with emphasis on the precipitation step of gliadin which results in a fine dispersion of mostly spherical, submicron gliadin particles composed ...
متن کاملCharacterisation of natural fibre reinforced PLA foams prepared by supercritical CO 2 assisted extrusion
Natural fibre reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) foams, as potential green replacements for petroleum-based polymer foams, were investigated. Highly porous (ε > 95%) microcellular PLA foams were manufactured by supercritical CO2 assisted extrusion process. To overcome the inherent low melt strength of PLA, epoxyfunctionalized chain extender was applied, while talc was added to improve its crystal...
متن کاملFoaming PLA with Thermoplastic Starch by Extrusion Assisted by Supercritical CO 2
The manufacture of biopolymers foams with poly-lactic acid (PLA) and thermoplastic starch (TPS) using the green process of extrusion assisted by supercritical CO2 is a promising way towards new applications. A parametric study evidenced that the porosity is strongly correlated with the die temperature, CO2 content and TPS load. To get a high porosity, die temperature has to be diminished to blo...
متن کاملParticle Formation by Supercritical Fluid Extraction and Expansion Process
Supercritical fluid extraction and expansion (SFEE) patented technology combines the advantages of both supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and rapid expansion of supercritical solution (RESS) with on-line coupling, which makes the nanoparticle formation feasible directly from matrix such as Chinese herbal medicine. Supercritical fluid extraction is a green separation technology, which has bee...
