Surface-modified silica nanoparticles have a plenty of applications, such as coatings, dyes or biomarkers, catalysts and encapsulated products. When modified with 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (SiO2-MPS) or covered ...

The nanocomposites formation by in situ polymerization used a metallocene catalyst (butyl-2-cyclopentadienyl zirconium 2-chlorines) and a hectorite synthetic clay type which is discussed. This research was carried out in ...

In the present work, a new method is developed for the preparation of polyethylene magnetic nanocomposites by in situ polymerization. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), synthesized by the chemical vapor deposition method using ...

This paper proposes the development of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) nanocomposites with magnetic carbon-based hybrid fillers, which contain magnetite, by melt mixing at 190 degrees C. The carbon-based fillers such as ...

The use of graphite and polyolefins as starting materials to prepare nanocomposites is convenient because both are inexpensive and have very different properties, one is conductive and the other is insulating. The formation ...

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are successfully processed in the form of thin films (buckypapers), and their morphology and electrical behaviour are characterized. The MWCNTs are synthesized by the floating catalyst ...

Much has been talking about the advantages of polymeric nanocomposites, but little is known about the influence of nanoparticles on the stability of these materials. In this sense, we studied the influence of both oxides ...
