Polyaniline/polystyrene (PAni/PS) composites were prepared in aqueous solution by polymerization of styrene and aniline in two-stages. Firstly styrene polymerize by using Ammonium persulfate (APS) as an oxidant in the presence of various surfactants such as poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP), hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and surfactive dopant sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate...

BACKGROUND Diarrhea in piglets is one of the main causes of animal death after weaning; zinc oxide (ZnO) has been used in high doses for the control of this sickness. The aim of this study was to determine the physicochemical properties of ZnO nanoparticles synthesized and immobilized on a chitosan/alginate (CH/SA) complex and investigate the antimicrobial activity and in vitro release profile ...

Graphene with ultrahigh intrinsic strength and excellent thermal physical properties has the potential to be used as the reinforcement of many kinds of composites. Here, we show that very high tensile strength can be obtained in the copper matrix composite reinforced by reduced graphene oxide (RGO) when micro-layered structure is achieved. RGO-Cu powder with micro-layered structure is fabricate...

Studies were carried out to evaluate the initially preformed density and initial aspect ratio on the densification behavior of sintered Zinc and Zinc Oxide composite. The preform possessed 0.85 is the initial density. Aspect ratio for three different oxidizing temperatures (at 150°C, 200°C and 250°C) varied from 0.4 to 0.85. Properties of Zinc-Zinc Oxide composites with respect to linear strain...

A process involving the filtration of graphene oxide (GO) dispersion through an alumina membrane, followed by oxygen annealing to synthesize alumina nanoparticles exclusively at the edges of holes or vacancies in the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) plane, is used to prepare paper-like composites with a 21% enhanced electrical conductivity. Moreover, the rGO/alumina nanocomposites have a smaller ba...

Organic/inorganic composite particles with a core–shell structure exhibit potential applications in chemical mechanical polishing/planarization (CMP) for mechanically challenging materials (copper and low-k dielectrics etc.). In this work, the spherical composites comprised of polystyrene (PS) cores and mesoporous silica (mSiO2) shells were synthesized through a self-assembly of cetyltrimethyla...

In this study, we use a facile hydrothermal method to synthesize rGO@ZnO1−x composites. The in-situ synthesized ZnO nanosheets are well attached on the rGO sheets, which prevent the aggregation and restacking of ZnO nanosheets, greatly increasing the specific surface area of the synthesized materials. In addition, on account of the reducing synthesis condition, large numbers of oxygen vacancies...
