In this work, we report separator membranes from crosslinking of two polymers, such as poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) with an ionic polymer poly(methyl vinyl ether-alt-maleic anhydride) (PMVE-MA). Such interpolymer-networked systems were extensively used for biomedical and desalination applications but they were not examined for their potential use as membranes or separators for batteries. Therefore,...

This paper focuses on the effect of okra bast fillers biodegradation poly(vinyl alcohol) composites. Fibers were obtained from plant stems via biological degumming and subjected to different chemical treatments such as scouring, alkalizing, maleic anhydride treatment, vinyl acetate grafting. The fibers ground PVA-okra filler composites produced at 20 wt% fiber load solution casting method. test...

nickel hydroxide nanostructures were synthesized by a hydrothermal reaction. the effect of different precursors and surfactants on the morphology of nickel hydroxide nanostructures was investigated. nanostructures were characterized by x-ray diffraction, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and fourier transform infrared  spectroscopy. the influence of ni(oh)2 nano...
