Strengthening and thermal stabilization of polyurethane nanocomposites with silicon carbide nanoparticles by a surface-initiated-polymerization approach

Barrier properties of nano silicon carbide designed chitosan nanocomposites

“…Among nano fillers, silicon carbide is an important non-oxide ceramic material having variety of industrial applications due to its specific properties such as; high erosion resistance, high melting point, high hardness, oxidation resistance, strength, chemical and thermal stability (Saravanan et al, 2006). SiC has attracted much attraction these days due to its good match of chemical, mechanical and thermal properties that makes it a material of choice for harsh environmental applications including high radiation exposure, operation in high temperature and corrosive media (Guo et al, 2008). In earlier study the effect of nanometer SiC filler on Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) was studied for improvement of tribological behaviors (Wang et al, 2000).…”

Design and characterization of novel poly(vinyl chloride) nanocomposite films with zinc oxide immobilized with biocompatible citric acid

“…As the loading of NPs becomes higher, begin to agglomerate to a little extent, because of high surface energy of NPs, creating the stress concentration phenomenon and preventing impressive load transfer to the polymer matrix. According to the obtained results, Young's modulus and tensile strength increased while elongation at F max decreased for the NCs because of the stiff nature of the incorporated NPs [21,22].…”

Novel Polymer Nanocomposite with Silicon Carbide Nanoparticles

“…They are used for high-performance composites [6][7][8][9] and in electronics [10,11]. These properties make SiC nanoparticles a suitable material for the production of polymer nanocomposites with reinforced structure [7].…”
