The blending of additives in the polyethersulfone (PES) matrix is an important approach in
the membrane industry to reduce membrane hydrophobicity and improve the performance …

Interlaminar fracture or delamination is one of the major failure modes for fiber reinforced
polymer (FRP) and fiber metal laminate (FML) composites. Many studies have been carried …

Graphene is the strongest material ever studied and can be an efficient substitute for silicon.
This six-volume handbook focuses on fabrication methods, nanostructure and atomic …

A new method was developed to disperse carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in a matrix polymer
and then to prepare composites by melt processing technique. Due to high surface energy …

Carbon nanotubes were functionalized with poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA). The water-soluble
PVA–functionalized carbon nanotubes were then embedded into PVA matrix via a wet …

Abstract This Feature Article reviews recent progress in the tailored assembly of carbon
nanotubes and graphene into three‐dimensional architectures with particular emphasis on …

Corn starch (CS) and cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) were incorporated into biodegradable
poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) to prepare mechanically robust and sustainable composites …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) demonstrate extraordinary properties and show great promise in
enhancing out-of-plane properties of traditional polymer composites and enabling …

An effective functionalization method was investigated to take full advantage of the
exceptional performance of both carbon nanotubes and epoxy polymer for composite …

Waste cotton fabrics (WCFs), which are generated in a large volume from the textile industry,
have caused serious disposal problem. Recycling WCFs into value-added products is one of …
