A novel method to obtain catalytic bio-nanocomposites based on chitosan containing different amounts of gold nanoparticles generated in situ is reported. The formation of gold nanoparticles takes place in solid phase ...

Rubber nanocomposites containing different concentrations of ferroelectric and paramagnetic nanoparticles were fabricated. Nanostructures of ferroelectric potassium strontium niobate and paramagnetic nickel-zinc ferrite ...

Poly(monomethyl itaconate) is outstanding because it is a glassy and dielectric polymer obtained from sustainable feedstock. Consequently, the study of the properties of its nanocomposites has gained importance. Herein, ...

The deposition of hybrid organic–inorganic nanocomposites of titanium dioxide—prepared by hydrolysis of titanium tretraisopropoxide modified through exchanging one of its ligands with a butinoxy-, octiloxy- or phenoxy-group—on ...

Functionalized PP samples with different percentages of grafted IA, i.e., 0.7, 1 or 1.8 wt.-%, with similar molecular weights were used as compatibilizers in PP/clay nanocomposites. PP nanocomposites containing 1 wt.-% of ...

The surface of ramie cellulose whiskers has been chemically modified by grafting organic acid chlorides presenting different lengths of the aliphatic chain by an esterification reaction. The occurrence of the chemical ...

Nanocomposites are multiphase materials of which, at least one of the phases, has a dimension smaller than 100 nm. These materials have attracted technological and scientific interest due to their multifunctional characteristics ...

A review of carbon nanotube (CNT) functionalization methods to improve the interfacial interactions with polymers is addressed. The most common CNT functionalization methods to address the issue of interfacial interactions ...
