Multiwalled carbon nanotubes have been synthesized by catalytic chemical vapor deposition of ethylene, using two different catalysts in order to obtain nanotubes with average diameters of 24 and 58 nm, and different lengths. Polyamide 6 (PA6) was reinforced by melt-mixing in an extruder with 2 wt% functionalized and unfunctionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The nanocomposites were characterized...

• Reclaimed nanoclay from oil-based drilling fluid waste used as nanofiller in polyamide 6 composites. Improvement interfacial adhesion between OBMFs and PA6 displaying material tailorability for significant increase mechanical properties. Storage modulus of with 10 wt% was 56% higher than that neat PA6. Clear circular economy demonstration on raw materials recovery reuse fluids management stra...

An electrochemical biosensor based on functional composite nanofibers for hybridization detection of specific K-ras gene that is highly associated with colorectal cancer via multiple signal amplification strategy has been developed. The carboxylated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) doped nylon 6 (PA6) composite nanofibers (MWCNTs-PA6) was prepared using electrospinning, which served as the...

High-performance composites suffer from fatigue crack propagation during service. Traditional repair methods can be expensive and time-consuming. Therefore, research on with self-healing capabilities has considerably increased in the past decade. The aim of this work is to develop a polyamide 6 (PA6) matrix properties. Polycaprolactone (PCL) was used as healing agent melt compounded PA6. PCL ca...

Abstract Glass fiber‐polyamide 6 (PA6) composites are widely used for various automotive applications, yet the ability to exhibit multifunctional properties and cost of it remains challenging. Herein this work introduces a cost‐effective approach utilization waste glass fiber (GF), green aluminium metal organic framework (Al‐MOF), industry‐grade graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) fabrication PA6 the...

Ozone modification method and air-oxidation were used for the surface treatment of polyacrylonitrile(PAN)-based carbon fiber. The surface characteristics of carbon fibers were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The interfacial properties of carbon fiber reinforced polyamide 6 (CF/PA6) composites were investigated by means of the single fiber pull-out tests. As a result...

Radiation processing involves the use of natural or manmade sources of high energy radiation on an industrial scale. The principle of radiation processing is the ability of high energy radiation to produce reactive cations, anions and free radicals in materials. The industrial applications of the radiation processing of plastics and composites include polymerization, cross-linking, degradation ...

Lactoferrin accelerates the differentiation of osteogenic and chondrogenic lineage cells, whereas it inhibits the myogenic and adipogenic differentiation of pluripotent mesenchymal cells; however, the effect of lactoferrin on the differentiation of preadipocytes is unknown. In this study, we examined the effect of lactoferrin on adipogenic differentiation using a mouse preadipocyte cell line, M...
