In this paper the nano conical shell model is developed based on modified strain gradient theory. The governing equations of the nano truncated conical shell are derived using the FSDT, and the size parameters through modified strain gradient theory have been taken into account. Hamilton’s principle is used to obtain the governing equations, and the shell’s equations of motion are derived with ...

In this paper, we have studied the hydrogen adsorption onto CNCs and BNNCs nano-cones using GCMC simulations. The effects of length and cone apex angle on adsorption property have been investigated. Our results show that with increasing the pressure and decreasing the cone length and cone apex angle except for CNC-300˚, the hydrogen adsorption onto the BNNCs and CNCs was increased. It was also ...

In this work, the microwave surface wave plasma (MWSWP) equipment is used to grow the carbon nano-materials at low temperature on different catalysts prepared by the so-called plasma assisted sol-gel synthesis method. Without any additional heating method, the plasma itself can heat up the substrate to about 280oC. By applying the -600V bias voltage, the substrate temperature can reach more tha...

The aim of this paper is to report the impact of the addition of cellulose nanocrystals on the barrier properties and on the migration behaviour of poly(lactic acid), PLA, based nano-biocomposites prepared by the solvent casting method. Their microstructure, crystallinity, barrier and overall migration properties were investigated. Pristine (CNC) and surfactant-modified cellulose nanocrystals (...

In this work, the electronic properties of BP and CSi Nano cones have been investigated by self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) method in water solvent at B3PW91/6-31G (d,p) level of DFT theory for study of  for interactions of 5-Fluorouracil Anticancer Drug with theses Nano cones. The percent of change of energy gap (%ΔEg) shows that the complex formation of 5-Fluorouracil with BP ...

Growth of amorphous carbon nanocoil (CNC) from acetylene on Si substrates was achieved by using nanosized Ag and K as the catalysts. The deposition of CNC was carried out inside a hot-wall reactor at 723 K using H2 as the carrier gas. Based on the observed results, we propose a cooperative bimetal catalyst enhanced vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth mechanism to rationalize the CNC growth. In the ...

Polyethylene (PE) nanocomposites containing Cellulose Nano Crystal (CNC) were prepared via melt blending in a twin screw extruder. The evaluation of PE/CNC nanocomposites was studied for food packaging applications. The nanocomposites were investigated by thermal, mechanical analyses. Addition of CNC particle while having no effect on melting and crystallization temperature had intensive effect...

Because of its high biocompatibility, bio-degradability, low-cost and easy availability, cellulose finds application in disparate areas of research. Here we focus our attention on the most recent and attractive potential applications of cellulose in the biomedical field. We first describe the chemical/structural composition of cellulose fibers, the cellulose sources/features and cellulose chemi...

Photopolymer composites filled with cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) and/or inorganic nanofillers were fabricated by using digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing. To investigate the effects of different CNC lyophilization concentrations and behaviors particles in photopolymer composites, morphological mechanical properties analyzed. loading levels affected composites. Better dispersion was seen ...

Ternary nano-biocomposite films based on poly(lactic acid) (PLA) with modified cellulose nanocrystals (s-CNC) and synthesized silver nanoparticles (Ag) have been prepared and characterized. The functionalization of the CNC surface with an acid phosphate ester of ethoxylated nonylphenol favoured its dispersion in the PLA matrix. The positive effects of the addition of cellulose and silver on the...
