The structure, crystallinity, and interfacial interactions as well as the thermal and tensile strength features of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) reinforced with diverse concentrations of modified carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-CA) were studied.
In this research, crosslinked nanocomposite (NC) films involving chitosan (CS) and various percentages of nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dot (NGQD) were prepared via ultrasonic acoustic accompanied by adding glutaraldehyde as a crosslinking agent (henceforth nominated as CCS/NGQD NC).
In the current work, we developed glutaraldehyde (GA)-cross-linked composite film containing poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as a matrix and modified α-manganese dioxide (α-MnO2) nanorods with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APES) (α-MnO2-APES), as a nanofiller.
Fewer toxic and cost-effective catalysts such as organic-inorganic polymer composites are highly necessary for the water purification.
At first, layered double hydroxides (LDH) was intercalated with eco-friendly molecule using the coprecipitation method, which this act was confirmed using X-ray diffraction showing the increase of interlayer space to 1.36 nm.
In this study, the bioactivity of glutaraldehyde (GA)-crosslinked chitosan (CS)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/ascorbic acid (ASC)-multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNTs) nanocomposites (NCs) was investigated. These NCs were fabricated via incorporation of 3, 5, and 7 wt% of ASC-MWCNTs into CS/PVA blend using ultrasonication.
Biodegradable amino acid modified nanocaly was applied to produce nylon-6/nanoclay composite fibers using melt blending and melt spinning processes. Field emission scanning electron microscopy images showed that the surface of composite fibers was uniform and free from defects.

In the current work, novel eco-friendly hydrogel nanocomposite biosorbents (ef-HNCs) made up from tragacanth gum and modified CaCO3 nanoparticles (CC NPs) were applied for the adsorption of methylene blue dye (MBD).
Incorporation of silica (SiO2) nanoparticles (NP)s within the poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone)–poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVP–PVA) blend can improve its characteristics. Initially, the bio-compatible vitamin B1 (VB1) was used for tailoring the surface of NPs and preventing them from aggregation.
