nanocomposites based on phenolic resol and novolac resins and cloisite 30b were prepared. different kinds of phenolic resins and clay content were studied with respect to the morphology and mechanical properties of the polymer silicate layers. the phenolic resins, namely resol, novolac and their mixture and four different percentages of clay contents, 0.5, 1, 2 and 5 wt% have been considered. x...

the corrosion protection of mild steel by a newly developed epoxy-based coating system containing inherently conducting nanopolyaniline-clay as a nanoadditive has been studied. polyaniline-clay anticorrosion nanoadditive (pcna) was obtained by the direct mixing method of nanopolyaniline (0.03 wt.%) and organo-modified clay (3 wt.%) at atmospheric pressure, and xrd technique was used to study d-...

This study explores the effects of four independent variables—the nanoclay weight percentage, sliding velocity, load, and distance—on wear rate frictional force nanoclay-filled FormuLITETM amine-cured bio-based epoxy composites. An experimental design based on Taguchi method revealed diverging optimal conditions for minimizing force. These observations were further validated using a Back-propag...

In the current study, whey protein- pullulan- clay nanocomposite films are prepared by casting method. The effect of nanoclay at three concentrations (1%, 3% and 5%) on physical properties such as moisture content, solubility in water, water vapor permeability and transparency of whey protein- pullulan composite films investigated. The results show that the effect of nanoparticles on composite ...
