Poly(vinyl alcohol) / cellulose nanocomposite barrier films

Creator:

Paralikar, Shweta

Abstract:

There is a continual interest in developing robust, flexible, durable, lightweight, waterborne polymer barrier coatings which are increasingly resistant towards both chemical warfare agents as well as an ever growing number of toxic industrial chemicals. In this study, barrier films were prepared with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH) and varying amounts of...

New application of crystalline cellulose in rubber composites

Creator:

Bai, Wen

Abstract:

Rubber without reinforcement has limited applications. The strength of reinforced rubber composites can be ten times stronger than that of unreinforced rubbers. Therefore, rubber composites are widely used in various applications ranging from automobile tires to seals, valves, and gaskets because of their excellent mechanical elastic properties. Silica and carbon...

Cellulose/polysulfone nanocomposites

Creator:

Noorani, Sweda

Abstract:

Microchannel devices are rapidly evolving process technology with a wide variety of applications. Microchannel devices hold the potential to transform many separation processes. One potential application for such microchannel devices is kidney dialysis. By reducing the size and cost of the device, this technology offers the potential to allow dialysis...
