LDH-VB9-TiO2 and LDH-VB9-TiO2/crosslinked PVA nanocomposite prepared via facile and green technique and their photo-degradation application for methylene blue dye under ultraviolet illumination

Abstract

Vitamin B9 (VB9) as a biological molecule was used for the intercalation of MgAl-layered double hydroxide (LDH) which can increase the active sites and organic nature of LDH samples.

Host recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) and guest PVA-grafted ZnO nanoparticles: prepared nanocomposites characterization

Abstract

This article elaborates on the poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) recycling by dissolution–reprecipitation method and then fabrication and examination of its nanocomposites (NC)s with poly(vinyl alcohol) grafted ZnO nanoparticles (NP)s which was fabricated through blending procedure and solution casting process.

Synthesis of mesoporous recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate)/MWNT/carbon quantum dot nanocomposite from sustainable materials using ultrasonic waves: Application for methylene blue removal

Abstract

This study presents fabrication of recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (rPET) reinforced with decorated multiwalled carbon nanotubes by carbon quantum dots (MWNT/CQD)s. The resulting MWNT/CQDs and rPET/MWNT/CQD composites were characterized by various analyses.

Fabrication and physicochemical features study of crosslinked PVA/FGO nanocomposite films

Abstract

Polymer/graphene nanocomposites (NCs) have gained increasing attention owing to their unique properties. In this study, to improve the physicochemical features of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), crosslinked PVA/functionalized graphene oxide (FGO) films were prepared, using glutaraldehyde (GA) as crosslinking agent.

Novel poly(vinyl chloride) nanocomposite films containing α-Al2O3 nanoparticles capped with vitamin B1: preparation, morphological, and thermal characterization

Abstract

Many studies have been accomplished in the field of nanocomposite (NC) preparation to control the adhesion and spatial dispersion of nano-fillers and effect of these on attributes of the polymer matrix.

Sonochemical synthesis of PVA/PVP blend nanocomposite containing modified CuO nanoparticles with vitamin B 1 and their antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli

Abstract

The aim of this paper was to blend the polymers, poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) to produce a novel composite materials possessing the benefits of both. CuO nanoparticles (NPs) were used as a suitable filler to fabricate the blend nanocomposites (NCs) with desired properties.

An ultrasonic assisted process for the synthesis of poly(vinyl alcohol)-poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) nanocomposites filled with modified nano-Zirconia

Abstract

Equal weight ratio of PVA/PVP blends solutions filled with several amounts of modified Zirconia (ZrO2) nanoparticles (NPs) via thiamine (Th) up to 7 wt% were prepared under ultrasound irradiation with casting/solvent evaporation method in the form of films.
