On the strategies for incorporating nanosilica aqueous dispersion in the synthesis of waterborne polyurethane silica nanocomposites, Effects on morphology and properties
(2016)
In this work the synthesis of waterborne polyurethane/nanosilica nanocomposites by using two differ- ent strategies is presented, starting from a vinyl terminated polyurethane prepolymer (PUP) based on isophorone diisocyanate ...
Morphology and properties of neutralized chitosan-cellulosenanocrystals biocomposite films
(2016)
Chitosan/cellulose nanocrystals (CH-CN) films were obtained by casting of dispersions, and treated with NaOH for neutralization proposes. The composition of films was varied from 1 to 10 wt.% of CN. Changes in the morphology ...
Chitosan-graft-poly(n-butyl acrylate) copolymer Synthesis and characterization of a natural synthetic hybrid material
(2016)
Two chitosan polymers with different deacetylation degree and molecular weight were subjected to graft- ing reactions with the aim to enhance the properties of these bio-based materials. Specifically, n-butyl acrylate in ...
Surface, thermal, and mechanical properties of composites and nanocomposites of polyurethane PTFE nanoparticles
(2014)
Films from blends of polyurethane and nano-polytetrafluoroethylene aqueous dispersions (PU/nanoPTFE) were prepared, and the effect of the addition of different amounts of PTFE nanoparticles (50 nm) was studied. The changes ...
Effect of antioxidant active films on the oxidation of soybean oil monitored by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy
(2014)
An active film prepared from waterborne polyurethane incorporated with different concentrations of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and a-tocopherol was developed, and the films’ antioxidant character- istics were studied ...
