Synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial activity of polyindole/ZrO2 nanocomposites

Enhancing the material performance of chloroprene rubber (CR) by strategic incorporation of zirconia

“…19 Accordingly, it became a very good choice for a number of applications. There are plenty of reports where zirconia has been utilised to enrich the properties of polymer composites for a variety of polymers such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), 20 epoxy resin, 21 polyindole, 22 polyamide, 23 polydimethylsiloxyl (PDMS) 24 and polyaniline. 25 Those studies were focussed on the diverse aspects of zirconia based polymer composites that cover mechanical, thermal, optical, dielectric, antimicrobial and other important properties.…”

Gold‐Nanoparticles‐Decorated ZrO2‐CuO Nanocomposites: Synthesis, Characterization and A Novel Platform for Electrocatalytic Formaldehyde Oxidation

“…After the electrochemical deposition of ZrO 2 on the bare FTO, the (111) reflection of monoclinic (JCPDS card 37‐1484) and tetragonal (JCPDS 88–1007) ZrO 2 diffraction pattern was observed at 30.3 and 31.5 (2 θ ), respectively [29] . The XRD peaks at 35.5 and 38.9 (2θ) assigned to diffractions of CuO which are well consisted with JCPDS cards no 79‐2769 and 80‐1268 [30–32] . The reflections of (111), (200), and (220) of gold nanoparticles were observed at 38.2, 44.2, 64.7 (2θ) peaks [33,34] .…”

Enhancement of catalytic activity in NH3-SCR reaction by promoting dispersibility of CuCe/TiO2-ZrO2 with ultrasonic treatment

“…The weight loss is relatively small over the temperature range of 450–600 °C (Zone III), it is likely that the loss of water occurring from dehydroxylation reactions [49] . The last one at the range from 600 °C to 800 °C (Zone Ⅳ) may be related to the structural arrangement of the zirconium oxide and the release of carbonate intermediates from the compound [50] , [51] . It can be noticed that the weight loss of TiO 2 -ZrO 2 (7.3%) sample is higher than Cu/TiO 2 -ZrO 2 -SI (5.5%), CuCe/TiO 2 -ZrO 2 -SI (3.6%) and CuCe/TiO 2 -ZrO 2 -UI (3.8%) samples, proving that the presence of copper ions makes the low weight loss of the catalysts [52] .…”
