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.
The purpose of this research was to fabricate starch nanocomposites (NC)s using corn starch and MWCNTs‐Valine as efficient fillers, and to examine the impact of nanofillers on the starch's properties. At first, Valine was grafted onto the MWCNTs' surfaces through a chemical reaction.
In this paper, folic acid (FA) as drug model was intercalated in the structure of layered double hydroxide (LDH) as drug carrier with two coprecipitation and anion exchange methods. The existence of FA drug between the LDH layers was confirmed with FT-IR and XRD analyses.
In this study, at first, owing to the excessive surface energy and inclination for aggregation, surface treatment of silica (SiO2) nanoparticles (NP)s was performed by vitamin B1 (VB1) as a biodegradable and biocompatible coupling agent. The divergent extent of modified SiO2 (SiO2‐VB1) was incorporated into poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) matrix and PVA/SiO2‐VB1 nanocomposites (NC)s were prepared.
The attempt of this research was to examine the effect of multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)‐Valine as efficient fillers on the thermal, optical, and electrical behaviors of polystyrene (PS). To reduce aggregation and obtain uniform spreading of fillers into the PS, at first, MWCNTs' surfaces were modified by Valine amino acid.
Herein, a functional S-valine amino-acid (valine) based poly(amide–imide) (PAI) was prepared in a green situation. Carbon nanotubes (NTs) were functionalized with valine to fabricate NT/PAI nanostructures composite (PNCs) by incorporating NTs into the PAI matrix. Homogeneous dispersion of NTs was achieved by the modified NTs and ultrasonication method. The influences of the functionalized NTs on the morphology, structure, and thermal of PNCs were characterized extensively by several techniques.
Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) is a biocompatible, biodegradable, and hydrophilic polymer that has many applications in different fields. Reinforced PVP nanocomposites (NCs) containing titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) were prepared through solution casting method. To achieve better distribution of NPs in the polymeric bed, surface modification of NPs is essential. Citric acid (CA) and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) (VC) biomolecules were used as surface modifiers. Modified TiO2 NPs were incorporated in the PVP bed.
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. Functionalization of inorganic NPs was performed via ultrasonic irradiation to improve compatibility with PET as a matrix.
