This study investigates the in vitro cytocompatibility of one-dimensional and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) carbon and inorganic nanomaterial reinforced polymeric nanocomposites fabricated using biodegradable polymer poly (propylene fumarate), crosslinking agent N-vinyl pyrrolidone (NVP) and following nanomaterials: single and multiwalled carbon nanotubes, single and multiwalled graphene oxide na...

Highly regulated Fe3O4-polyelectrolyte-modified polyaniline (Fe3O4-PE@PANI) hollow sphere nanocomposites were successfully synthesized using an electrostatic self-assembly approach. The morphology and structure of the Fe3O4-PE@PANI nanocomposites were characterized using field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray...

DMF is one the most commonly-used solvents for preparing graphene nanocomposites. Various processing variables for DMF are being used for the preparation of epoxy/graphene nanocomposites. Whilst the emphasis of all of these reported studies are on the improvements in mechanical, and other properties, of the epoxy/graphene nanocomposites, there is no study investigating how DMF affects the proce...

Abstract In recent years, tantalum (Ta)-based nanostructured dental implants have been widely utilized considering their exceptional biocompatibility, bioactivity, and biomechanical properties. Despite advantages, the mechanical properties of Ta are higher than those adjacent jawbone, weakening bone structure. It has demonstrated that soft antibacterial additives such as copper (Cu) nanoparticl...

the aim of this work is to probe the influence of nanoclay and turmeric spends content on microcrystalline of vinyl ester hybrid nanocomposites. a series of vinyl ester hybrid nanocomposites have been fabricated with varying amounts of ts viz., 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 % w/w along with 2% nanoclay. the microcrystalline parameters such as crystallite size and lattice strain of vinyl ester hybrid na...

Background: New materials that are introduced in operative dentistry can potentially have orthodontic applications. One of the most important advances in the dental material field is the application of nanotechnology to resin composites. Recently, new fillers with size ranging from approximately 5-100 nm have been developed. These materials could thus be considered as precursors of nanocomposit...

OBJECTIVE To fabricate polymeric nanocomposites with excellent photoluminescence, magnetic properties, and stability in aqueous solutions, in order to improve specificity and sensitivity of cellular imaging under a magnetic field. METHODS Fluoridated Ln(3+)-doped HAP (Ln(3+)-HAP) NPs and iron oxides (IOs) can be encapsulated with biocompatible polymers via a modified solvent exaction/evaporat...

With its extraordinary properties as the strongest and stiffest material ever measured and the best-known electrical conductor, graphene could have promising applications in many fields, especially in the area of nanocomposites. However, processing graphene-based nanocomposites is very difficult. So far, graphene-based nanocomposites exhibit rather poor properties. Nacre, the gold standard for ...

Graphene is the strongest and stiffest material ever identified and the best electrical conductor known to date, making it an ideal candidate for constructing nanocomposites used in flexible energy devices. However, it remains a great challenge to assemble graphene nanosheets into macro-sized high-performance nanocomposites in practical applications of flexible energy devices using traditional ...
