Epoxy-based carbon nanotubes reinforced composites

Author: Kesavan Pillai, Sreejarani ; Ray, SS Date: Apr 2011 Epoxy or polyepoxide is a thermosetting epoxide polymer that cures (polymerizes and cross-links) when mixed with a curing agent or "hardener". Most common epoxy resins are produced from a reaction between epichlorohydrin and bisphenol-A. A ... Read more

Impact of melt-processing strategy on structural and mechanical properties: Clay-containing polypropylene nanocomposites

Author: Morajane, D ; Ray, Suprakas S ; Sinha Roy, Jayita ; Ojijo, Vincent O Date: Feb 2018 Processing conditions (e.g., temperature profile, feed point, screw speed, feed rate, and screw element configuration) and how nanocomposites are prepared in the extruder have a vital effect on the dispersion of nanoclay. The resultant ... Read more
Poly(Butylene Succinate) and Poly[(Butylene Succinate)-co-Adipate] Nanocomposites

Author: Ojijo, Vincent O ; Ray, Suprakas S Date: 2012 In the recent years, biodegradable aliphatic polyesters-based composite materials have attracted substantial interest, primarily due to their sustainable production, use and end-life. This chapter discusses the preparation, characterisation, ... Read more
Polymer/layered silicates nanocomposites for barrier technology

Author: Labuschagne, Philip W ; Moolman, S ; Maity, Arjun Date: Feb 2012 Plastics are used increasingly in packaging applications due to a number of favorable properties, such as versatility, low weight, and low cost. However, their biggest drawback when compared to traditional packaging materials, such as glass ... Read more
Processing nanocomposites based on commodity polymers

Author: Mural, PKS ; Ray, Suprakas S Date: Oct 2018 Nanocomposites consisting of commodity polymers like polyethylene, polystyrene, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride have demonstrated good thermomechanical behavior and electrical properties. Common routes for producing polymer nanocomposites ... Read more
Processing of polymer blends, emphasizing: Melt compounding: influence of nanoparticles on blend morphology and rheology; reactive processing in ternary systems; morphology -property relationships; performance application challenges; and opportunities and future trends

Author: Salehiyan, Reza ; Ray, Suprakas S Date: Oct 2018 This chapter discusses the structure-properties of immiscible polymer blends, focusing on the effects of compatibilization. It has been discussed that the morphology of immiscible blends governs their final properties and thus end-use ... Read more
Processing of sustainable polymer nanocomposites

Author: Botlhoko, Orebotse J ; Ray, Suprakas S Date: Oct 2018 This chapter provides a brief overview on the processing methods and structure-property relationships of polylactide, polyhydroxybutyrate, and starch nanocomposites as well as the challenges faced in their development, in order to further the ...
