Fractal Features and Structural Morphological Optical Characteristics of Sol-Gel Derived Silica Nanoparticled Thin Films
(Polish Acad Sciences Inst Physics, 2018)
Nanostructured silica films using a simple and effective sol-gel spin coating technique were synthesized and the influence of ammonia/sol ratios on the particle size and thickness of this film was investigated. In addition ...
Surfactant and Metal Ion Effects on the Mechanical Properties of Alginate Hydrogels
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016)
This paper addresses the controlled variation of the mechanical properties of alginate gel beads by changing the alginate concentration or by adding different surfactants or cross-linking cations. Alginate beads containing ...
Electrical and optical percolations of polystyrene latex-multiwalled carbon nanotube composites
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2010)
Electrical conductivity and optical transmittance properties of polystyrene (PS)-multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composite films were investigated. Composite films were prepared by mixing of various mass fractions of ...
Drying process in vapor swollen heterogels
(Springer, 2010)
Disk-shaped heterogels were prepared by combining methyl methacrylate (MMA) and styrene (S) with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDM) as a crosslinker agent in the presence of 22'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN). Swelling ...
Critical Exponents of Gelation and Conductivity in Polyacrylamide Gels Doped by Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010)
Polyacrylamide (PAM) doped by multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) gels were prepared with different amounts of MWNTs varying in the range between 0.1 and 15 wt%. The PAM-MWNT composite gels were characterized by the steady ...
Critical phenomenon during photoinitiated gelation at different temperatures: A Photo-DSC study
(Elsevier Science, 2011)
The behaviour of photoinitiated radical polymerization of an 80 wt% epoxy diacrylate (EA) and 20 wt% tripropyleneglycoldiacrylate (TPGDA) mixture with 2-mercaptothioxanthone (TX-SH) photoinitiator was studied at different ...
Study of Thermal Phase Transitions in Iota Carrageenan Gels via Fluorescence Technique
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011)
The effect of carrageenan concentration on thermal phase transitions of the iota carrageenan gels was investigated by using fluorescence technique. During heating and cooling processes scattered light I(sc) and fluorescence ...
Studies on Drying and Swelling of PAAm-NIPA Composites in Various Compositions
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011)
The steady-state fluorescence technique was introduced for studying the drying and swelling of disc-shaped PAAm-NIPA composites. Disc-shaped gels were formed with various acrylamides (AAm) and N-isopropylacrylamides (NIPA) ...
PAAm-kappa carrageenan composites: drying and swelling with various kappa carrageenan contents
(Polish Academy of Sciences, 2012)
The purpose of this study is to discuss the role of kappa-carrageenan (?-car) in the drying and swelling of polyacrylamide (PAAm)-?-car composite. The fluorescence intensity of pyranine increased and decreased as drying ...
Elasticity Study of PAAm-kappa C Composite Prepared in Various kappa C Content and Measured at Several Temperatures
(Polish Acad Sciences Inst Physics, 2015)
Polyacrylamide (PAAm)-kappa carrageenan (kappa C) composite gels were prepared via free radical crosslinking copolymerization with various (w/v) percentages of kappa C in the range between 0.5 and 3 (w/v)% of kappa C . ...
