Optical energy band gap of PAAm-GO composites
(Elsevier Science, 2018)
Graphene oxide (GO) can be used as an electron acceptor for polymers. The generation of the exciton in such materials is intimately related to the optical band gap. Polyacrylamide (PAAm) - graphene oxide (GO) composites ...
Mechanical properties of graphene oxide-polyacrylamide composites before and after swelling in water
(Springer, 2018)
Polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogels have been proposed for use as promising biomaterials in biomedical and tissue engineering but their poor mechanical and water-retention properties have hindered their development. Graphene ...
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 ...
Gelation electrical conductivity and elasticity of PAM- MWNT
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2011)
Polyacrylamide- Multiwalled carbonnanotube (PAM- MWNT) composites were prepared via free radical crosslinking copolymerization with different amounts of MWNT varying in the range between 0.1 and 15 wt. %. PAM- MWNT composite ...
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 ...
