Nanocomposite material consists out of several phases where at least one, two or three
dimensions are in nanometer range. Taking material dimensions down to nanometer level …

This review is designed to be a comprehensive source for polymer nanocomposite research,
including fundamental structure/property relationships, manufacturing techniques, and …

A majority of water pollution or contamination occurs through the discharge of effluents from
industries. Wastewater treatment is crucial to protect our water sources from harmful …

The control of the nanostructure and the addition of nanoparticles to polymers have led to
structural and functional property enhancements in a number of polymeric systems as a …

At present, most asphalts and modified asphalts cannot meet requirements of both high
temperature stability and low temperature cracking resistance simultaneously. Hence, the …

Effects of organo-montmorillonite (OMMT) on thermo-oxidative and ultraviolet (UV) aging
properties of asphalt were investigated. The results show that the viscosity aging index (VAI) …

Procedures for the preparation of methyl cellulose/montmorillonite (MC/MMT)
nanocomposite films were optimized by testing 30 procedures including differences in type …

This paper reports on the potential benefits of micro-or nano-sized materials for asphalt
mixtures used on pavements, specifically when they are exposed to water or deicing …

Modified asphalts were prepared by melt blending with different contents of montmorillonite
(MMT) and organomodified montmorillonite (OMMT). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results …

Food packaging requires long shelf life and the monitoring of safety and quality based on
international standards. In the past decade, polymer nanocomposites have emerged as a …
