the aim of this study was to investigate the rate of water vapor permeability (wvp) and moisture sorption of starch-montmorillonite (mmt) nanocomposite films. the nanocomposite films were prepared using the casting method andglycerol was used as a plasticizer. the effect of glycerol concentration on wvp of the films was determined at 25°c with a relative humidity of 0-99% (inside and outside of...

Nanocrystalline cadmium sulfide thin films as antireflection materials for solar cells have been prepared by a new chemical solution deposition route in an aqueous medium at 50 °C. as-deposited thin films were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and optical absorption spectra. X-ray diffraction data indicated the formation of hexagonal na...

in  this paper  thin  films of  tin sulfide (sns) were deposited on  the glass substrates using spray pyrolysis method with the substrate temperatures in the range of 400–600℃, keeping the other deposition parameters constant. in  this work  the characteristic of sns  thin  films  investigated. the xrd pattern and optical transmittance of thin films also are discussed. with the change in concen...

background and objectives: preparation and evaluation of nanocomposite films have become prevalent in recent years. one of the most important methods for dispersing nanoparticles in polymers is the use of ultrasound radiation. polyvinyl alcohol-montmorillonite (pva-mmt) nanocomposite films were prepared via solvent casting method. materials and methods: the effects of different ultrasound times...

The structural and optical properties of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) doped with different concentrations (0, 0.15, 0.5, 1, 2, 2.5, and 3 wt %) of ZnO nanoparticles were studied. ZnO nanoparticles were prepared by the solgel methode, and nanocomposite films were prepared using the solution casting methode. Nanocomposites films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transformer Infrar...

The nonbiodegradable and nonrenewable nature of plastic packaging has led to a renewed interest in packaging materials based on bio-nanocomposites (biopolymer matrix reinforced with nanoparticles such as layered silicates). Bio-nanocomposite films based on soy protein isolate (SPI) and modified montmorillonite (MMT) were prepared using melt extrusion. The effect of different type (Cloisite 20A ...

This paper presents a novel strategy to prepare Cu3(BTC)2@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles in the size range of 200-400 nm using a new one-pot strategy under ultrasonic irradiation at room temperature. In this approach, the silica shell thickness could be finely tuned in the size range of 12-60 nm for various reaction times. Nanocomposite thin films were fabricated on the glass substrates by Sol-G...

In our work we have focused on the incorporation of Prussian Blue nanoparticles (NP) into polyelectrolyte multilayer films (PEM). The main goal of presented studies was to obtain polymer/nanoparticles films with controlled electroactive properties. The amount and ordering of deposited nanoparticles depended on the adsorption conditions of the underlying polymer anchoring layer. In the case of f...
