The presented work shows the synthesis and characterization of Zn/Ti layered double hydroxide (LDH) intercalated with carbonate dodecyl sulfate ions following its application as a functional filler in LDPE order to improve thermal properties resistance degradation UV-Vis radiation. X-ray diffractogram patterns LDH-CO3 LDH-DDS present basal spacing value 6.81 Å 38.09 Å, respectively, indicating ...

Zinc Layered hydroxide (ZLH) is a layered material easily synthesized with structure identical to brucite-like material. Due the exchangeable anions in interlayer compensating for positive charge of brucite-type layer, ZLH provides wide application many fields. This review focuses on properties and method synthesis by giving an overview intercalated guest anion ZLH. The further discussion invol...

The term “nanocomposite” is widely used to describe a very broad range of materials, where one of the phases has a submicrometer dimension [1–4].1 In the case of polymerbased nanocomposites, this typically involves the incorporation of “nano” fillers with one (platelets), two (fibers, tubes), or all three dimensions at the submicrometer scale. However, strictly speaking, simply using nanometer-...

The term “nanocomposite” is widely employed to describe an extremely broad range of materials, where one of the components has a dimension in the sub-micron scale. A better –and far more restrictive– definition would require that a true nanocomposite should be a fundamentally new material (hybrid) in which the nanometer scale component or structure gives rise to intrinsically new properties, wh...

BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB), is caused by the bacteria, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and its a threat to humans since centuries. Depending on the type of TB, its treatment can last for 6-24 months which is a major cause for patients non-compliance and treatment failure. Many adverse effects are associated with the currently available TB medicines, and there has been no new anti-tuberculosis drug...
