Role of Graphene Oxide Dispersion in Mechanical Behavior and Microstructure Development of Polymer-Cement Composites

Synergistic Reinforcement of Polypropylene Nanocomposites via Hybrid MWCNT / RGO Networks: Structure–Property–Tribological Performance Relationships

The present study deals with polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites reinforced with multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO). A constant low filler loading of 1.5% was used individually and in hybrid combinations with different ratios. Twin‐screw extrusion was utilized to fabricate the PP na...

Tailoring the Mechanical Properties of Nanocellulose/ ABS Composites by Tuning the Grafting Density on Nanocellulose

The interfacial structure between nanofillers and polymer matrices plays a critical role in determining the overall performance of polymer nanocomposites. In this study, we explored how varying the grafting density of flexible poly(oxyethylene/oxypropylene)‐2‐propylamine (MPOEA) chains on cellulose nanofibers (CNFs...

Dual-crosslinked calcium alginate/nanocrystalline cellulose bio-nanocomposite films with enhanced thermomechanical and rheological properties.

In this study, dual-crosslinked calcium alginate-nanocrystalline cellulose (CaAlg-NCC) bio-nanocomposite films were synthesized via a two-step gelation method. NCC, prepared by acid hydrolysis of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), exhibited 79% crystallinity and a zeta potential of -32.14 mV at pH 5.8, and was incorpora...

Nanocellulose in Cementitious Composites: Rheology, Buildability, Interlayer Bonding, and Mechanical Performance — A Systematic Literature Review

Nanocellulose, comprising cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), cellulose nanofibers (CNF), and bacterial nanocellulose, is gaining attention as a bio-based additive for modifying the fresh- and hardened-state behaviour of cementitious composites, yet the evidence remains scattered across cement paste, mortar, geopolymer, ultr...

Dispersion-informed structure–property relationships in carbon nanotube–reinforced polypropylene thermoplastic composites

Carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced polypropylene (PP) thermoplastic nanocomposites were systematically investigated to examine how CNT dispersion and CNT–matrix interfacial interactions influence the coupled mechanical, rheological, and electrical behavior of multifunctional thermoplastic composites under industrially re...
