Improved solubilization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in water by surface functionalization with d-glucose and d-fructose

Abstract

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are difficult to be dispersed into a polymer matrix. For effective reinforcement, the strong interfacial interaction between nanotubes and the matrix is essential to donate the efficient thermal transfer from the matrix to nanotubes.

Efficient heavy metal ion removal by triazinyl-β-cyclodextrin functionalized iron nanoparticles

In this contribution, novel nano-adsorbent, triazinyl-β-cyclodextrin modified magnetic nanoparticles (T-β-CD–MNPs) were fabricated for the removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions by reacting mono-chlorotriazinyl-β-cyclodextrin (T-β-CD) with magnetite Fe3O4 nanoparticles (MNPs) via the nucleophilic substitution of the chloride leaving group of T-β-CD by the attacking hydroxyl group of the MNPs.

A Benign and Simple Strategy for Surface Modification of Al2O3 Nanoparticles with Citric Acid and L(+)-Ascorbic Acid and Its Application for the Preparation of Novel Poly(vinyl chloride) Nanocomposite Films

ABSTRACT

In this research, the preparation of nanocomposites (NCs) containing nonaggregated nanoparticles (NPs) was studied. Alumina NPs were functionalized by two coupling agents, citric acid and ascorbic acid.

A facile approach towards functionalization of MWCNTs with vitamin B2 for reinforcing of biodegradable and chiral poly(ester-imide) having L-phenylalanine linkages: morphological and thermal investigations

Abstract

A simple and environmentally friendly method for surface modification of ZrO2 nanoparticles by biosafe citric acid as well as ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and its application for the preparation of poly(vinyl chloride) nanocomposite films

In this investigation, poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) as one of the most important thermoplastic polymer was combined with different concentrations (4, 8, and 12 wt%) of ZrO2 nanoparticles (NPs) with the purpose of preparing novel nanocomposites (NCs).

Design and Preparation of Poly(vinyl alcohol) Flexible Nanocomposite Films Containing Silica Nanoparticles with Citric Acid and Ascorbic Acid Linkages as a Novel Nanofiller Trough a Green Rout

ABSTRACT

To prevent SiO2 nanoparticle (SNP)s from aggregation, surface modification of them was performed using bio-safe citric acid (CA) and L(+)-ascorbic acid (vit C) for the first time.

Enhanced interfacial interaction for effective reinforcement of chitosan nanocomposites at different loading of modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes with vitamin C

Abstract

Chitosan-based nanocomposites (NCs) at different modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) loadings were produced by solvent casting method. The effective dispersion of the MWCNT in polymer matrix is an important factor while making its NCs.
