Using sonochemistry for the production of poly(vinyl alcohol)/MWCNT–vitamin B1 nanocomposites: exploration of morphology, thermal and mechanical properties

Abstract

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.

Linear and nonlinear behavior of crosslinked chitosan/N-doped graphene quantum dot nanocomposite films in cadmium cation uptake

Abstract

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).

Cross-linked poly (vinyl alcohol)/modified α-manganese dioxide composite as an innovative adsorbent for lead (II) ions

Abstract

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.

An effective, low-cost and recyclable bio-adsorbent having amino acid intercalated LDH@Fe3O4/PVA magnetic nanocomposites for removal of methyl orange from aqueous solution

Abstract

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.

Preparation, characterization, and in vitro bioactivity study of glutaraldehyde crosslinked chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol)/ascorbic acid-MWCNTs bionanocomposites

Abstract

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.
