Temperature Dependence of Oxygen Diffusion into Clay-Doped PS Films
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2010)
Fluorescence technique was employed for the measurement of the diffusion coefficient of oxygen into polystyrene (PS) latex/modified Na-activated bentonite (MNaLB) clay composite films. Three different MNaLB content (0 5 ...
Oxygen Diffusion into Polymer-Clay Composite Films as a Function of Clay Content and Temperature
(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2009)
A simple fluorescence technique is proposed for the measurement of the diffusion coefficient of oxygen into polystyrene-clay composite films as a function of clay content and temperature. The composite films were prepared ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Thermal Phase Transitions of Agarose in Various Compositions: A Fluorescence Study
(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2011)
The effect of agarose content on thermal phase transitions of the agarose gels was investigated by using Steady State Fluorescence (SSF) method. Scattered light I(sc) and fluorescence intensity I(fl) were monitored against ...
The Role of Pyranine in Characterization of PAAm-kappa C Composites by Using Fluorescence Technique
(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2011)
Polyacrylamide (PAAm) doped by kappa-carrageenan (kappa C) gels were prepared with various amounts of kappa C varying in the range between 0 wt.% and 3 wt.%. Steady-state fluorescence (SSF) technique was employed for ...
Study of Film Formation From PS Latex/TiO2 NanocompositesEffect of Latex Size and TiO2 Content
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)
In this work we investigated the film formation from polystyrene (PS) latex/TiO2 nanocomposites using the steady state fluorescence (SSF) and UV-vis (UVV) techniques depending on PS particle size and TiO2 content. The ...
Gelation of PAAm-PVP composites: A fluorescence study
(World Scientific, 2014)
Hybrid hydrogels are a new class of composite materials. Polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogels are mainly produced by free radical crosslinking copolymerization (FCC) of AAm in the presence of N N'-methylene bis (acrylamide) ...
