the resource intensive human activities (such as mining and extraction of mineral oils for betterment of life and modernization of society) have increased environmental pollution several folds. products of mining and petrochemical industries are advantageous for the modern society. but waste generated such as btex from such industries are carcinogenic, toxic and causes adverse effects on enviro...

While the addition of well-dispersed carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in polymer nanocomposites typically improves polymers' impact strength, herein, we report that good CNT dispersion alone is not a sufficient condition to improve strength nanocomposites. Our results demonstrate nanocomposite also depends on type and processing conditions. Depending these factors, CNTs can either disrupt crosslinking n...

Abstract The measurement of blood glucose levels is essential for diagnosing and managing diabetes. Enzymatic nonenzymatic approaches using electrochemical biosensors are used to measure serum or plasma accurately. Current research aims develop improve noninvasive methods detecting in sweat that accurate, sensitive, stable. carbon nanotube (CNT)-copper oxide (CuO) nanocomposite (NC) improved di...

Over the last decade the development and use of nanomaterials (NMs) and nanoparticles (NPs) has increased at a great rate. As a result there is an ever increasing risk of exposing humans and wildlife to these potentially harmful materials. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are two of the most widely used NMs at present. Their potentially harmful effects on or...

Mixed-phase TiO2 nanocomposite thin films consisting of anatase and rutile prepared on commercially pure Ti sheets via the electrochemical anodization and annealing treatments were investigated in terms of their photocatalytic activity for antibacterial use around dental implants. The resulting films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The topo...

Developing polymer-based nanocomposites with high thermal conductivity, mechanical performance, and electrical insulation becomes a huge challenge in both academia industry. In this article, the synergistic effects of boron nitride (BN) nanosheets carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on properties conductivity epoxy nanocomposite adhesives were investigated. The results showed that addition one-dimensional ...

Nanocomposite TiO2 coatings of mixed anatase–rutile crystalline polymorphs with strong adherence to glass substrates were prepared via spray-plasma deposition method. The rutile content was varied between 0 and 30 mol%. coating showed an enhanced photocatalytic activity towards cefixime antibiotic decomposition in aqueous solutions under UVA (λ = 365 nm) light illumination. significantly increa...

In this study, the authors report the production of nanocomposite-enhanced phase-change materials (NEPCMs) using the direct-synthesis method by mixing paraffin with alumina (Al2O3), titania (TiO2), silica (SiO2), and zinc oxide (ZnO) as the experimental samples. Al2O3, TiO2, SiO2, and ZnO were dispersed into three concentrations of 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 wt.%. Through heat conduction and differentia...
