INTERACTIONS BETWEEN FUNCTIONALIZED THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMER AND LAYERED DOUBLE HYDROXIDES
2016
Results coming from rheological analysis clearly suggest that in SEBS-g-MA-based nanocomposites, containing high amount of o-LDH, the formation of strong interactions between the dispersed nanoparticles and maleic functionalities of matrix occurs. A significant modification of the rheological behaviour can be noticed due to the formation of gel-like structures.
Guías ópticas activas de polímero con puntos cuánticos coloidales
2013
En este trabajo se propone la integración de nanoparticulas semiconductoras coloidales en matrices de polímero para desarrollar nanocomposites que puedan ser utilizados en nuevos dispositivos fotónicos, y en particular como núcleos de guías de onda activas. De esta manera se dispersaron distintas familias de QDs (de CdSe, CdTe, CdS y PbS) y QRs (CdSe-CdS y PbS-CdS) en matrices de polímero (PMMA y SU-8), con el fin de demostrar que los nanocomposites elaborados a partir de estos materiales pueden funcionar como núcleos en guías de onda. En primer lugar se fabricaron y caracterizaron guías de onda planas, estudiando la dependencia de las propiedades de propagación de la luz con la concentraci…
Graphene oxide and Fumed silica graphene oxide nanocomposites modification by thermal treatments
2014
In the present study we investigate post synthesis thermal treatments up to 400 °C of graphene oxide (GrO) prepared from commercial graphite and of GrO–silica nanocomposites prepared by a solution of commercial Fumed silica nanoparticles (average diameter 7 nm or 40 nm) and the GrO. The thermal treatments were carried out in air, vacuum or He atmosphere to highlight tunable changes. Two GrO batches with small differences in the D (~1350 cm–1) and G (~1580 cm–1) Raman bands have been employed to evaluate effects depending on preparation. Thermal effects have been monitored through the Raman spectroscopy focusing on D, G and 2D (2500–3500 cm–1) bands spectral ranges. The experiments evidenced…

Ecofriendly Biopolymer-Based Nanocomposite Films with Improved Photo-Oxidative Resistance
2022
The interest towards high performance biopolymer-based materials increases continuously and, to guarantee appropriately industrial applications, the photo-oxidative resistance and stability of these materials must be adequately addressed. In this study, innovative biopolymer-based nanocomposites, i.e., Polyamide 11 (PA11), containing ad-hoc modified Layered Double Hydroxides (LDH), were successfully formulated and characterized. Particularly, LDH were considered carriers for hindered amine light stabilizing molecules, so two different hindered amine moieties (HALS1 and HALS2) were anchored on LDH layered internal structures and/or outer surfaces. The presence of HALS1 and HALS2 in LDH were …
CoS2/TiO2 Nanocomposites for Hydrogen Production under UV Irradiation
2019
Transition metal chalcogenides have intensively focused on photocatalytic hydrogen production for a decade due to their stronger edge and the quantum confinement effect. This work mainly focuses on synthesis and hydrogen production efficiencies of cobalt disulfide (CoS2)-embedded TiO2 nanocomposites. Materials are synthesized by using a hydrothermal approach and the hydrogen production efficiencies of pristine CoS2, TiO2 nanoparticles and CoS2/TiO2 nanocomposites are compared under UV irradiation. A higher amount of hydrogen production (2.55 mmol g&minus
Surface enhanced Raman scattering of silver sensitized cobalt nanoparticles in metal–dielectric nanocomposites
2008
We report the preparation of a new type of nanocomposite containing cobalt and silver nanoparticles organized in parallel layers with a well controlled separation. This arrangement allows the observation of an enhanced low-frequency Raman signal at the vibration frequency of cobalt nanoparticles excited through the surface plasmons of silver nanoparticles. Numerical simulations of the electric field confirm the emergence of hot spots when the separation between silver and cobalt nanoparticles is small enough. © IOP Publishing Ltd.
