In this work, organomodified nanoclay has been used as the adsorbent for the removal ofbasic blue 41, cationic dye from an aqueous solution. The performance of the organomodified nanoclay was tested in a batch system under varying pH (2–12), adsorbent dosage (0.1–2 g L-1), initial dye concentration (10–60 mgL-1), and contact time (5- 100 min). The best conditions were achieved at pH of 7,...

The increasing environmental pollution with petroleum-based plastics has advanced research on biodegradable polymers. Thermoplastic starch (TPS) is one promising candidate due to wide availability from various renewable sources, low cost and biodegradability. However, TPS significant shortcomings, as high water sensitivity mechanical properties. An approach overcome these drawbacks adding nanof...

In this work, the influence of composition and cold-drawing on nanoand micro-scale morphology and tensile mechanical properties of PE/organoclay nanocomposite fibers was investigated. Nanocomposites were prepared by melt compounding in a twin-screw extruder, using a maleic anhydride grafted linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE–g–MA) and an organomodified montmorillonite (Dellite 67G) at three...

Background: One area of nanoscience deals with nanoscopic interactions between nanostructured materials and biological systems. To elucidate the effects of the substrate surface morphology and viscoelasticity on cell proliferation, fractal analysis was performed on endothelial cells cultured on nanocomposite samples based on silicone rubber (SR) and various concentrations of organomodified nano...

The effect of organomodified montmorillonite (MMT) content and mixing conditions on the mechanical properties, structure, morphology a chloroprene rubber was investigated. Nanoparticles were mechanically mixed with plasticizer, followed by ultrasonic homogenization before compounding all ingredients mixtures in two-roll mills. Mechanical tests carried out samples prepared three sonication ampli...

In current work, halogenated sunflower oil was reacted with Na2S3 to produce sunflower oil-based polysulfide polymer. Cloisite 30B as organomodified nanoclay was used in different contents to investigate its effect on the properties of the synthesized polymer. All nanocomposites were prepared via in situ polymerization method in aqueous media. Fourier Transform-InfraRe...
