A functional anticoagulant and anti-bacterial coating for polyethylene (PE) films is described. The stepwise preparation of this nanocomposite surface coating involves O2 plasma etching of PE film, carbodiimide coupling of cysteamine to the etched PE film, binding of Ag to sulfhydryl groups of cysteamine, and assembly of heparin capped AgNPs on the PE film. The nanocomposite film and its compon...

in this study, the corrosion resistance of a bituminous coating reinforced with different ratios ofnanoclay pigment was studied. to make nanocomposite coatings, 2, 3, and 4 wt.% of clay (cloisitena+) were incorporated into water emulsified bitumen. the coatings were applied to steel 37. opticalmicroscopy and x-ray diffraction (xrd) were used to characterize the nanocomposite structure. inorder ...

Dispersion of 2D carbon nitride (C3N4) nanosheets into a nickel phosphorous (NiP) matrix was successfully achieved by ultrasonication during the electroless plating of NiP from an acidic bath. The morphology and thickness, elemental analysis, phases, roughness, and wettability for as-plated and heat-treated nanocomposite were determined by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray s...

In this paper, Ni–TiO2 nanocomposite coatings with different sizes of TiO2 nanoparticles were successfully prepared by electrodeposition process from a nickel electrolyte in which the TiO2 nanoparticles were suspended. The influence of relevant deposition parameters on the nanocomposite coating characteristics was discussed. X-ray diffractometer has been applied in order to investigate the phas...

We demonstrate a facile, two-step coating/calcination approach to grow a uniform MnO nanoparticle@mesoporous carbon (MnO@C) composite on conducting substrates, by direct coating of the Mn-oleate precursor solution without any conducting/binding reagents, and subsequent thermal calcination. The monodispersed, sub-10 nm MnO nanoparticles offer high theoretical energy storage capacities and cataly...

The synthesis of polyaniline- Fe2O3 nanocomposite coating on aluminum Alloy 5052 (AA5052) surface has been investigated by using the galvanostatic method. The anticorrosion performance of polyaniline-Fe2O3 coating was investigated in 3.5% NaCl solution by the open- circuit potential (OCP), Tafel polarization technique and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). The corrosion rate of polya...

Nanocomposite coatings are systems comprised of two or more phases. Such multiphase coatings are becoming increasingly important as they offer the possibility of tailoring the coating architecture and achieving exciting new properties. An understanding of the coating nanostructure is important to complete the classic processing-structure-properties relationship and expedite the development of n...

in this work, polypyrrole/ceo2 nanocomposite (nc) was synthesized in the presence of methylorange as a reactive self-degraded soft template. the field emission scanning electron microscopy(fesem) images indicate that the ceo2 nps have a nucleus effect and cause a homogenous ppycore–shell type morphology with an encapsulation of the ceo2 core by the ppy shell. the effect ofnc on acrylic waterbor...

The present work was targeted to design a surface against cell seeding and adhering of bacteria, Bacillus subtilis. A multi-walled carbon nanotube/titanium dioxide nano-power was produced via simple mixing of carbon nanotube and titanium dioxide nanoparticles during the sol-gel process followed by heat treatment. Successfully, quercetin was immobilized on the nanocomposite via physical adsorpti...
