Poly (amide-6-b-ethylene oxide)/Zinc Oxide (PEBA/ZnO) mixed matrix membranes were fabricated using ethanol/water as solvent by solvent casting method. The concentration of ZnO in membrane was set to 0.1 wt.% and the synthesized membranes were characterized by AFM and FTIR. Effects of ZnO nanoparticle on CO2, CH4 and N2 permeabilities, and CO2/N2<...

A new method is developed to enhance the gas separation properties of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) by interior modification of an inorganic nano-porous particle. Ship-in-a-bottle (SIB), as a novel synthesis strategy, is considered to encapsulate a polyaza macrocyclic Ag-ligand complex into the zeolite Y, which is resulted in a new host-guest nano-composite. It is consequently incorporated into...

Electrical insulation materials are advancing rapidly due to several advantages including light weight, better performance in polluted environment and reduced installation cost. In polymeric micro-composites, enhancing one property of the insulator may affect adversely on the other desired properties. This problem can be addressed practically with the invention of nanocomposites. This article p...

in this study, aluminum (al) matrix reinforced with micro-particles (30 µm) and nano-particles (50 nm) boron carbide (b4c) were used to prepare al-2.5%wt., b4c nano-composite and micro-composite, respectively, using mechanical alloying method. the mixed powders were mechanically milled at 5, 10, 15 and 20 hrs. the xrd results indicated that the crystallite sizes of both the micro-composite and ...
