The effect of different plasticizers on the properties of PAN– polymer electrolytes has been studied. Propylene carbonate (PC) and ethylene carbonate (EC) having different values of donor numbers, dielectric constant and viscosity have been used as plasticizers. The highest room temperature conductivity for the film in the PAN– system was 3.04 × 10-4 S cm-1. The highest room temperature conduct...

This paper presents an idea of using carbonized electrospun Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers as a sensor material in a structural health monitoring (SHM) system. The electrospun PAN fibers are lightweight, less costly and do not interfere with the functioning of infrastructure. This study deals with the fabrication of PAN-based nanofibers via electrospinning followed by stabilization and carboniz...

Characterizing the sorption of drugs onto polyvinylchloride (PVC) and polyethylene (PE) materials in terms thermodynamic adsorption properties atomistic details (local arrangements, orientation, diffusion) is fundamental for development alternative that would limit drug phenomena plasticizer release. Here, a combination experiments sophisticated calculations potential mean forces are carried ou...
