The demand for high performance multifunctional wearable devices is more and more pushing towards the development of novel low-cost, soft and flexible sensors with high sensitivity. In the present work, we describe the fabrication process and the properties of new polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) foams loaded with multilayer graphene nanoplatelets (MLGs) for application as high sensitive piezoresist...

To enhance wheat straw compatibility with the polylactic acid (PLA) matrix, several graphene-based materials (GBMs) derivatives, including graphene nanoplatelets, oxide, and nano graphite particles a constant fraction of 0.1 wt.-%, were employed for surface functionalisation straw. Wheat quality was assessed by comparing PLA bio-based composites' mechanical thermal performance without GBM funct...

Abstract. The formation of mineral scale has been a major nuisance in oil field operations as it leads to multifarious flow assurance issues. Conventional squeeze treatment commonly employed inhibit detrimental lacks various aspects effectively mitigate thereby making this less effective and at times unviable production are moving into deeper tighter formations. Employing nanotechnology improve...

Here we report CdSe nanoplatelets that are incorporated into color-converting CdSe/ZnS nanocrystals for InGaN/GaN light-emitting diodes. The critical role of CdSe nanoplatelets as an exciton donor for the color conversion was experimentally investigated. The power conversion efficiency of the hybrid light-emitting diode was found to increase by 23% with the incorporation of the CdSe nanoplatele...

Poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF) is a linear and unsaturated copolyester based on fumaric acid that has been widely investigated for tissue engineering applications in recent years due to its tailorable mechanical performance, adjustable biodegradability and exceptional biocompatibility. In order to improve its mechanical properties and spread its range of practical applications, novel approaches...

We present the electrical and supercapacitive performance of graphene nanoplatelets in polymer nanocomposites flexible solid state double layer capacitors (EDLC) respectively.
