Transport performance in novel elastomer nanocomposites: Mechanism, design and control

Multifunctional electromechanical and thermoelectric polyaniline–poly(vinyl acetate) latex composites for wearable devices

“…Latex technology, which uses water-based polymer emulsions, favors the retention of conductive fillers within the interstitial space between the latex particles upon water evaporation and, thus, the formation of a segregated CPC (s-CPC). This is a low cost and environmentally friendly approach to obtain flexible CPCs with excellent electrical properties, as it does not require the use of toxic and inflammable solvents [21][22][23].…”

Improvement in Functional Properties of Soy Protein Isolate-Based Film by Cellulose Nanocrystal–Graphene Artificial Nacre Nanocomposite

“…Many methods have been applied to improve the properties of SPI-based materials, including physical treatment [ 14 ], enzyme treatment [ 15 ], and block copolymerization [ 16 ]. Nanophase reinforcement is one of the most effective methods for enhancing the performance of polymer composites and adhesives [ 17 ]. A critical merit of functional nanocomposite is its ability to maximize stress transfer across interfaces in order to improve the strength and toughness of the materials [ 18 ].…”

Enhanced Fatigue and Durability Properties of Natural Rubber Composites Reinforced with Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene Oxide

“…However, large GE agglomerates were easily formed due to Van der Waals forces between GE sheets. The fine dispersion and alignment of GE sheets in the polymer matrix were hardly achieved [ 24 ]. There are many functional groups on the surface of GO, which makes it easy to disperse in water.…”
