Anomalous impact strength for layered double hydroxide-palmitate/poly(e-caprolactone) nanocomposites

Author: Moyo, Lumbidzani ; Makhado, E ; Ray, Suprakas S Date: Nov 2014 Inherent physical properties and commercial availability makes poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) very attractive as a potential substitute material for nondegradable polymers for commodity applications. However, a balance of toughness and stiffness ... Read more
Clay and clay-supported materials for clean energy storage applications

Author: Musyoka, Nicholas M ; Langmi, Henrietta W Date: 2015 The dwindling fossil energy reserves together with the need to find cleaner energy sources have intensified investigations for alternative energy sources. Solar energy, batteries and hydrogen have featured prominently amongst the most promising ... Read more
Handcrafted physical syntax elements for illiterate children: initial concepts

Author: Smith, Andrew C Date: Jun 2008 The author presents two technology-augmented physical materials that illiterate coders can sculpt for use as physical syntax elements in a tangible early-programming learning environment. Two physical coding sequences are given. He concludes ... Read more
Remediation of manganese in mine impacted water by clay/ manganese oxide hybrid adsorbent: equilibrium, kinetics and thermodynamic studies

Author: Muliwa, AM ; Onyango, MS ; Maity, Arjun ; Ochieng, A Date: Jun 2018 The present study investigated the potential of clay/manganese oxide (CMnO) hybrid adsorbent for the removal of manganese (Mn2+) from mine impacted water (MIW). The adsorbent was characterised by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infra-red ... Read more
Rheology of organoclay suspension

Author: Hato, MJ ; Zhang, K ; Ray, SS ; Choi, HJ Date: May 2011 The authors have studied the rheological properties of clay suspensions in silicone oil, where clay surfaces were modified with three different types of surfactants. Dynamic oscillation measurements showed a plateau-like behavior for all the ... Read more
Synthesis of templated carbons starting from clay and clay-derived zeolites for hydrogen storage applications

Author: Musyoka, Nicholas M ; Ren, Jianwei ; Langmi, Henrietta W ; Rogers, DEC ; North, Brian C ; Mathe, Mahlanyane K ; Bessarabov, D Date: Oct 2014 Clay and its recrystallized zeolitic derivatives were used in this study as templating agents for carbon nanostructured materials. The conventional nanocasting process that involves impregnation with furfural alcohol and subsequent chemical ... Read more
Tailoring the mechanical properties of SU-8/clay nanocomposites: polymer microcantilever fabrication perspective

Author: Chen, H ; Ojijo, Vincent O ; Cele, H ; Joubert, T ; Ray, SS ; Land, K Date: Mar 2014 SU-8/Clay nanocomposite is considered as a candidate material for microcantilever sensor fabrication. Organically modified montmorillonite clay nanoparticles are dispersed in the universally used negative photoresist polymer SU-8, for a low ... Read more
