Author:Bandyopadhyay, J; Ray, Suprakas SDate:Jul 2017In 1989, a report from the Toyota Central Research and Development Laboratory on the synthesis of nanoclay-containing polymide nanocomposites using in situ polymerization opened a new era for polymer nanocomposites (PNCs). PNCs provide several ...Read more
Author:Bandyopadhyay, J; Ray, Suprakas SDate:May 2012The non-isothermal crystallization behaviour and kinetics of neat poly(propylene)(PP), PP/poly[(butylene succinate)-co-adipate] (PP/PBSA) blend and its composite with nanoclay was studied by differential scanning calorimetry at six different ...Read more
Author:John, Maya JDate:2019Bio-based products have been used in the packaging sector and now there has been a considerable growth in the use of biocomposites in transport (automotive and aerospace) and electronics sector. However, it is imperative that components used ...Read more
Author:Bandyopadhyay, J; Ray, SS; Scriba, Manfred R; Malwela, TDate:Jul 2012The impact of nanoclay on the isothermal crystal growth kinetics and morphology of biodegradable poly(ethylene succinate) (PES) is reported. A PES composite (PESNC) containing 5 wt% organically modified montmorillonite, was prepared via solvent ...Read more
Author:Ojijo, Vincent O; Ray, Suprakas SDate:May 2014This article gives an overview of the recent developments in the preparation, characterisation, properties, crystallisation behaviour, and melt rheology of clay-containing composites of biodegradable synthetic aliphatic polyesters such as ...Read more
Author:Mondal, S; Das, A; Bandyopadhyay, J; Ray, Suprakas S; Heinrich, G; Bandyopadhyay, ADate:Jun 2016This paper introduces a poly(ethylene-co-octene)-poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) double network hybrid as a noble additive cum compatibilizer for poly(ethylene-co-octene) (POE). The addition of only 0.5 mass% of the hybrid into POE has raised ...Read more
Author:Mofokeng, Tladi G; Ray, Suprakas S; Ojijo, Vincent ODate:Jan 2018This article reports, for the first time, on how the kinetics and thermodynamics of the melt-processing control the nano/micro-structure development and properties of nanoclay-filled polypropylene (PP)/low-density polyethylene (LDPE) blend ...Read more
