Foamlike xanthan gum/clay aerogel composites and tailoring properties by blending with agar
(2014)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyFoamlike aerogel composites based on renewable xanthan gum (XG) and sodium montmorillonite clay (Na+- MMT) have been prepared using an environmentally friendly freeze-drying process. Additionally, the biobased ... -
Low flammability, foam-like materials based on ammonium alginate and sodium montmorillonite clay
(Elsevier, 2012-11-30)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyLow flammability, foam-like materials based on bio-based, renewable ammonium alginate and sodium montmorillonite clay were fabricated through a simple, environmentally-friendly freeze-drying process in which water is used ... -
Morphology and thermomechanical properties of melt-mixed polyoxymethylene/polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane nanocomposites
(2010)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe influence of the functionalization of fully condensed POSS cages on the properties of POMbased nanocomposites is studied. POSS with different organic substituents [glycidylethyl, aminopropylisobutyl, and poly(ethylene ... -
Poly(Amide-imide) aerogel materials produced via an ice templating process
(2018-02-03)
Article
Open AccessLow density composites of sodium montmorillonite and poly(amide-imide) polymers have been created using an ice templating method, which serves as an alternative to the often-difficult foaming of high temperature/high ... -
Structure-property evaluation of trisilanolphenyl POSS®/polysulfone composites as a guide to POSS melt blending
(2012-08-15)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyA series of polysulfone/phenyl trisilanol POSS nanocomposites were produced by melt blending by twin screw batch mixing. These materials were then injec- tion molded, and their thermal, mechanical, and morpho- logical ... -
The morphology and properties of melt-mixed polyoxymethylene/ monosilanolisobutyl-POSS composites
(2011-09)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this study, the morphology and thermo-mechanical behavior of composites formed by a polyoxymethylene (POM) matrix and monosilanolisobutyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (msib-POSS) filler have been studied. The ... -
The relation between the rheological properties of gels and the mechanical properties of their corresponding aerogels
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2018)
Article
Open AccessA series of low density, highly porous clay/poly(vinyl alcohol) composite aerogels, incorporating ammonium alginate, were fabricated via a convenient and eco-friendly freeze drying method. It is significant to understand ... -
Thermal Behaviour of Polyoxymethylene/Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane Composites
(2009)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyDifferent composites were formed incorporating three different polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) molecules into polyoxymethylene (POM) by melt blending. The melting temperature (Tm) and crystallinity degree ... -
Thermal, electrical, insulation and fire resistance properties of polysaccharide and protein-based aerogels
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2018-08-29)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policySome of the main properties of polysaccharide and protein-based aerogels are discussed in this chapter. The fundamentals of thermal conductivity governing the insulation properties of these materials are presented and ... -
Tough polymer aerogels incorporating a conformal inorganic coating for low flammability and durable hydrophobicity
(2016-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyBoth inorganic and polymeric aerogels are well-known in the materials field. Inorganic aerogels are generally susceptible to brittle fracture, while polymeric aerogels tend to exhibit low modului and high flammability. To ...
