the corrosion protection of mild steel by a newly developed epoxy-based coating system containing inherently conducting nanopolyaniline-clay as a nanoadditive has been studied. polyaniline-clay anticorrosion nanoadditive (pcna) was obtained by the direct mixing method of nanopolyaniline (0.03 wt.%) and organo-modified clay (3 wt.%) at atmospheric pressure, and xrd technique was used to study d-...

This work concerns the production of fibrous composite materials based on biodegradable polymers such as alginate, dibutyryl chitin (DBC) and poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL). For the production of fibres from these polymers, various spinning methods were used in order to obtain composite materials of different composition and structure. In the case of alginate fibres containing the nanoadditive trica...

The aim of this research paper is to study the behaviour of a common used biopolymer (Poly(Lactic Acid) (PLA)) after several reprocesses and how two different types of additives (a melt strength enhancer and a nanoadditive) affect its mechanical and rheological properties. Systematic extraction of extrudate samples from a twin-screw compounder was done in order to study the effect in the proper...

Exergy analysis of a vapor-compression refrigeration system with TiO2 nanoadditives in the compressor oil was performed. Two-step method used for preparation nanooil various solid particle volume fractions between 0% and 1%. Irreversibilities were determined by using Second law thermodynamics. It is found that reduction total irreversibility achieved nano-particle inclusion it significant highe...
