Fluorescence study of effect of particle size in PS latex/Al2O3 nanocomposite films
(MANEY PUBLISHING, 2015)
Steady state fluorescence and BioUV-Visible techniques were used to study film formation of polystyrene (PS) latex and Al2O3 composites depending on PS particles size and Al2O3 content. Two film series (SmPS/Al2O3 and ...
Fractal Dimensions of kappa-Carrageenan Gels during Gelation and Swelling
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2018)
A photon scattering technique for research on the sol-gel and gel-sol transitions in kappa-carrageenan-water systems with various carrageenan contents (CC) was utilized for characterizing the fractal dimensions during ...
Thermal Phase Transitions of IOTA Carrageenan in CaCl2 Solutions: A Fluorescence Study
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2011)
The fluorescence technique was employed to study thermal phase transitions of iota (-) carrageenan (IC) in CaCl2 solution. IC gels underwent coil to double helix (c-h) and double helix to dimer (h-d) transitions upon ...
Modelling of Swelling by the Fluorescence Technique in Kappa Carrageenan Gels
(Amer Inst Physics, 2011)
Kappa (-kappa) carrageenan gels prepared with various carrageenan concentrations in pure water were completely dried and then swelled in water vapor. Steady state fluorescence measurements were performed using a spectrometer ...
The Effect Of Surfaces On The Orientational Properties and Phase Transitions Peculiarities Of A Nonpolar Smectogen
(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2010)
The effect of thin films on the orientational and optical properties of nonpolar monolayer smectogen 4-butoxyphenyl-4'-decyloxybenzoate ((10) over barO (4) over bar) liquid crystal has been studied by polarizing microscopy ...
Electrical and optical percolations in PMMA/GNP composite films
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018)
Effects of graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) addition on the electrical conductivity and optical absorbance of poly(methyl methacrylate)/graphene nanoplatelet (PMMA/GNP) composite films were studied. Optical absorbance and two ...
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 ...
Temperature Effect on the Elasticity of Acrylamide-n-Isopropylacrylamide Copolymers
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2018)
Acrylamide (AAm) - N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) copolymers were prepared via free radical crosslinking copolymerization with various weight percentages (wt%) of AAm and NIPA. The temperature dependence of the compressive ...
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 ...
Mathematical Characterization of Thermo-reversible Phase Transitions of Agarose Gels
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2018)
The thermal phase transition temperatures of high (HMP) and low melting point (LMP) agarose gels were investigated by using UV-vis spectroscopy techniques. Transmitted light intensities from the gel samples with different ...
