UVC-Shielding by Nano-TiO2/PMMA Composite: A Chemical Approach

A review on neutron shielding performance of nano-composite materials

Neutron sources employed in different applications in both medicine and industry. Due to the harmful effects of neutron particles on living organisms, radiation shields have played a vital role in radiation protection against neutrons. In recent decade, numerous investigations conducted on the design and fabrication of nanocomposites as more efficient shielding materials against fast and therma...

Composite mesostructures by nano-confinement.

In a physically confined environment, interfacial interactions, symmetry breaking, structural frustration and confinement-induced entropy loss can play dominant roles in determining molecular organization. Here we present a systematic study of the confined assembly of silica-surfactant composite mesostructures within cylindrical nanochannels of varying diameters. Using exactly the same precurso...

A novel Al matrix composite reinforced by nano-AlNp network

In pursuit of lightweighting of automobiles and low emission of transportation, the efforts to develop high-strength, heat-resistant and fatigue-resistant Al alloys and/or composites have been ongoing. Here we report a novel Al matrix composite with ultrahigh strength reinforced by a three dimensional network of nano-AlN particles for the first time. The in-situ synthesized AlN particles are co...

Electromagnetic Shielding Property of Cfrp Composite Laminates

Composite Materials for Electromagnetic Interference Shielding

This paper demonstrates that the addition of chemical agents and carbon fibers to cement can greatly enhance the shielding effectiveness of the concrete. In addition to improving the shielding effectiveness, carbon fibers and chemical agents enhance the tensile and flexural strengths significant ly. As both carbon fibers and steel fibers are electrically conductive, both can be added to cement ...
