We have synthesized core-shell structured 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS) functionalized antimony-doped tin oxide nanoparticles (MANs)-poly(methyl methacrylate-co-butyl acrylate) (PMMA-co-BA, PMB) nanocomposite latex particles via miniemulsion polymerization method. Polymerizable anionic surfactant DNS-86 (allyloxy polyoxyethylene(10) nonyl ammonium sulfate) was first introduced to s...

The embedding of oxide nanoparticles in polymer matrices produces a greatly enhanced dielectric response by combining the high dielectric strength and low loss of suitable host polymers with the high electric polarizability of nanoparticles. The fabrication of oxide–polymer nanocomposites with well-controlled distributions of nanoparticles is, however, challenging due to the thermodynamic and k...

the aim of the paper is to analyze electro-thermo nonlinear vibration of a double-piezoelectric composite microplate-system (dpcmps) based on nonlocal piezoelasticity theory. the two microplates are assumed to be connected by an enclosing elastic medium which is simulated by pasternak foundation. both of smart composite microplates are made of poly-vinylidene fluoride (pvdf) reinforced by zigza...

We incorporated anti-Parkinsonian drug, levodopa (dopa), in Zn/Al-LDH by coprecipitation method to form dopa-LDH nanocomposite. Further coating of Tween-80 on the external surfaces of dopa-LDH nanocomposite was achieved through the oxygen of C=O group of Tween-80 with the layer of dopa-LDH nanocomposite. The final product is called Tween-dopa-LDH nanocomposite. The X-ray diffraction indicates t...

Chitosan (CS) iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were coated with phytic acid (PTA) to form phytic acid-chitosan-iron oxide nanocomposite (PTA-CS-MNP). The obtained nanocomposite and nanocarrier were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry, transmission electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric and differential the...

Abstract: In this paper asymptotic models describing the mechanical and electric equilibrium state of two types of smart structures are presented and justified. The first structure consists of an anisotropic elastic thin plate with two surface bonded anisotropic piezoelectric patches and the second one is an anisotropic elastic sandwich thin plate with an inserted anisotropic piezoelectric patc...

The aim of the investigations was to evaluate benefits of the directed transport system—a nanocomposite, based on cisplatin and magnetite combined with local action of constant magnetic field on the tumor, in experiments in vivo in animals with transplantable Guerin carcinoma. Animals were divided into 5 groups according to the type of agent. We showed that nanocomposite in combination with sta...

Abstract-In-situ chemical polymerization was used to synthesize PPy/ TiO2 nanocomposite. The nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) to ensure the crystallite size, functional groups and morphology of the polymer nanocomposite. The band gap of th...

Through the microwave assisted fast synthesis method, Zinc Magnesium Oxide nanocomposite was prepared. Zinc Magnesium Oxide nanocomposite heated at 500oC was used for further structural, optical and antibacterial studies. The Debye Scherrer equation was used to calculate the average particle size of the nanocomposite. The optical characterization of the oxide nanocomposite was carried out by UV...

In this work, the antimicrobial property of nanocomposite prepared by loading of silver nanoparticle onto activated carbon (AgNP-AC) was studied. The silver nanoparticles were synthesized biologically from the culture Enterobacter aerogenes and loaded onto the activated carbon. The nanoparticle and nanocomposite were characterized by UV-vis, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction st...
