A wide variety of materials, strategies, and methods have been proposed to face the challenge of wastewater pollution. The most innovative and promising approaches include the hybrid materials made of polymeric nanofibers ...

For this study, we investigated a simple method to generate well aligned nanofibers over large areas using an organic polymer stretched over the substrate surface With this method, ZnO and CuO 3D parallel nanowire arrays ...

The goal of this study was to evaluate the mechanical properties of an experimental composite resin filled with nylon-6 nanofibers (N6), nylon-6 nanofibers with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (N6-MWCN) or with pre-polymerized ...

In recent years, carbon nanofiber composites have attracted researchers worldwide to use in reinforcing nanofillers instead of traditional methods due mainly to their multifunctional properties. Carbon nanofibers promote ...

The potential use of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) as a reinforcing agent in banana starch-based nanocomposite films was investigated. CNFs were isolated from banana peel (Musa paradisiaca) by enzymatic hydrolysis. Banana ...

In recent years, reinforcements consisting of carbon nanostructures, such as carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, graphenes, and carbon nanofibers have received significant attention due mainly to their chemical inertness and ...

The combination of cellulosic materials and clays, such as Laponite, can provide composites with superior optical and mechanical properties compared to pristine cellulose. Synthetic clays can also be used as a host matrix ...

Nowadays there is a demand for ecologically efficient sustainable materials. The combination of cellulose and clay can provide materials with improved mechanical, thermal, and optical properties, besides better water and ...
