Nanocomposite CoPt:C films for extremely high-density recording

High Oxygen Nanocomposite Barrier Films based on Xylan and Nanocrystalline Cellulose

The goal of this work is to produce nanocomposite film with low oxygen permeability by casting an aqueous solution containing xylan, sorbitol and nanocrystalline cellulose. The morphology of the resulting nanocomposite films was examined by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy which showed that control films containing xylan and sorbitol had a more open structure as compared...

Research Article: Influence of Ag/LDPE nanocomposite films on the microbial growth of Beluga (Huso huso) fillets during the refrigerated storage period

In the present study, 7% silver-low-density thin polyethylene films were successfully prepared through the melt mixing method. These films were applied to reduce the harmful antibacterial properties of Huso huso fillets at refrigeration temperatures, thus extending their shelf life. The total viable bacteria count for H. huso fillets wrapped in a 7% Ag/LDPE nanocomposite was 3.04±2.43 (log CFU/...

Preparation and Rheological Property Evaluation of LDPE/ Zinc Oxide Nanocomposite Films for Food Packaging Application

Nowadays, nanoscale innovations in the forms of pathogen detection, active packaging, antimicrobial packaging and barrier formation are poised to elevate food packaging to new heights. Antimicrobial nanocomposite LDPE films containing ZnO nanoparticles at different concentrations (e.g. 1%, 3%, 5%  and 3%  nano-ZnO pulse 10% polyethylene grafted maleic anhydride (PE-g-MA), w/w pure LDPE), were p...

Engineering nanocolumnar defect configurations for optimized vortex pinning in high temperature superconducting nanocomposite wires

We report microstructural design via control of BaZrO3 (BZO) defect density in high temperature superconducting (HTS) wires based on epitaxial YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) films to achieve the highest critical current density, Jc, at different fields, H. We find the occurrence of Jc(H) cross-over between the films with 1-4 vol% BZO, indicating that optimal BZO doping is strongly field-dependent. The matc...
