A comparative analysis of crystallization behavior induced by several mineral fillers in polypropylene nanocomposites was performed. Morphological changes and thermal properties of nanocomposites were evaluated, considering ...

Glycerol-plasticized starch/clay nanocomposites films were prepared from potato starch and three different loadings of montmorillonite aqueous suspensions by casting, to study the effect of the nanoclay in the properties ...

The influence of different processing operations as well as particle morphology and concentration on microstructure and final mechanical properties of polypropylene/talc nanocomposites was studied, performing not only a ...

Polyethylene/sepiolite nanocomposite films provide a new material with high elongation at break and transparency, increased Young's modulus and strength, and higher gas permeability.

This chapter is an overview of the effect of the different nanofillers on the crystallization performance of polymer matrices. The most relevant nanocomposites were classified according to the nature of the reinforcement.In ...

This manuscript evaluates the potential application of active nanocomposite films based on soy protein isolate (SPI)-montmorillonite (MMT)-clove essential oil (CEO) to the preservation of muscle fillets of bluefin tuna ...

Although the use of cellulose‐reinforced composites has been growing since the 1990s, it is only during the last years and following the general boom of nanotechnology that the research on nanocellulose polymer composites ...

Background: Skin and soft tissue infections involve microbial invasion of the skin and underlying soft tissues. To overcome this problem, nanocomposites were obtained using gelatin as a biopolymer scaffold and silver ...

Nanocomposites based on resol resin and layered silicates were obtained by in situ polymerization. An increment in the viscosity and in the content of free formaldehyde in the prepolymer with the addition of clay was ...

Nanocomposites of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) nanoparticles embedded within chitosan (CHI) have been prepared through an enzymatically assisted route. Cryogenic processing (ISISA) of hydrogel nanocomposites has allowed ...
