In this work, a series of composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) basically constituted by polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and a clay, montmorillonite (Bentonite), as filler have been developed, in which the clay in its lithiated ...

Nanoscale zerovalent iron (NZVI) was immobilized within porous millimeter-sized polyacrylonitrile (PAN) beads by chemical coagulation followed by a heat treatment in air for stabilization of the polymer structure. SEM-EDS ...

Novel processes for treating industrial wastewater containing metals are needed nowadays in order to meet environmentally safe water treatment standards. Attention has been paid to innovative adsorbents that permit to trap ...

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 ...

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 ...
