Novel polymeric active food packaging films comprising halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) as active agents were developed. HNTs which are hollow tubular clay nanoparticles were utilized as nanofillers absorbing the naturally produced ethylene gas that causes softening and aging of fruits and vegetables; at the same time, limiting the migration of spoilage-inducing gas molecules within the polymer matr...

Carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced Cu matrix (CNT/Cu) nanocomposites are fabricated by a novel fabrication process, named as molecular evel process, which involves suspending CNTs in solvent by surface functionalization, mixing Cu ions with CNT suspension, drying, calcination nd reduction. The molecular level process produces CNT/Cu nanocomposite powders, in which the CNTs are homogeneously impla...

The present work envisages synthesis of magnetic nanocomposites by ion beam mixing technique using swift heavy ion irradiation of Ni-Teflon bilayer system and its magnetic characterizations. The nanocomposite is characterized by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning probe microscopy (SPM) and superconducting quantum interference device (S...

The interfacial effect on the structural, electronic and optical properties of a hybrid triazine-based graphitic carbon nitride and graphene nanocomposite is calculated using the first-principles method. It reveals the favorable stacking pattern utilizing the ab initio thermodynamics approach. The electronic band structure presents that the high carrier mobility is maintained in a hybrid g-CN/G...

Zusammenfassung: Der Entwurf von eingebetteten analog-digitalen Systemen verlangt nach Formalismen, welche auf einem hohen Abstraktionsniveau eine einheitliche Beschreibungsmöglichkeit sowohl für die kontinuierlichen als auch für die diskreten Funktionsbaugruppen des Systems bieten. Hybride Petri-Netze stellen eine Weiterentwicklung herkömmlicher Petri-Netze dar und ermöglichen die Beschreibung...

Wie können Universitäten Lern-Services anbieten, die bei einer konsequenten Zielgruppenorientierung (bis hin zur Lernindividualisierung) auch unter Kostengesichtspunkten wettbewerbsfähig realisierbar bleiben und damit didaktische und ökonomische Zielsetzungen erfolgreich zu integrieren vermögen? Der vorliegende Artikel zeigt mit dem Konzept der Mass Customization auf der Grundlage einer Service...

poly (lactide-co-glycolide)/bioactive glass/hydroxyapatite (pbgha) and poly (lactide-co-glycolide)/ bioactive glass (pbg) nanocomposite coatings with bone. materials and methods: sol-gel derived 58s bioactive glass nanoparticles, 50/50 wt% poly (lactic acid)/poly (glycolic acid) and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were used to prepare the coatings. the nanocomposite coatings were characterized by ...

in this research, the buckling and bending behaviour of smart nanocomposite plate reinforced by single- walled carbon nanotubes (swcnts) under electro-magneto-mechanical loadings is studied. the extended mixture rule approach is used to determine the elastic properties of nanocomposite plate. equilibrium equations of smart nanocomposite plate are derived using the hamilton’s principle based on ...
