BACKGROUND Widespread use of X-band frequency (a part of the super high frequency microwave) in the various workplaces would contribute to occupational exposure with potential of adverse health effects.  According to limited study on microwave shielding for the workplace, this study tried to prepare a new microwave shielding for this purpose. METHODS We used EI-403 epoxy thermosetting resin a...

Reduced graphene oxide/α-Ni(OH)(2) composites present high electrochemical properties, with specific capacitance of 1215 F g(-1) at 5 mV s(-1) scan rate, since graphene as conductive matrix provides electronic conduction pathway.

The new, polymer composites consisting of e-glass fiber reinforcement with titanium oxide filler in the double bonded unsaturated polyester resin matrix were made. The glass fiber and titanium oxide reinforcement composites were made in three different fiber lengths (3cm, 5cm, and 7cm), filler content (2 wt%, 4 wt%, and 6 wt%) and fiber content (20 wt%, 40 wt%, and 60 wt%). 27 different composi...

UNLABELLED SrTiO3-graphene nanocomposites were prepared via photocatalytic reduction of graphene oxide by UV light-irradiated SrTiO3 nanoparticles. Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy analysis indicates that graphene oxide is reduced into graphene. Transmission electron microscope observation shows that SrTiO3 nanoparticles are well assembled onto graphene sheets. The photocatalytic activ...

Multifunctional graphene oxide/reduced graphene oxide (GO/RGO) composites were prepared through electrostatic interaction using biocompatible ingredients. Different functionalities were added to GO/RGO by anchoring materials such as native lactoferrin (NLf), NLf protected Au clusters (designated as Au@NLf), chitosan (Ch) and combinations thereof. Anchoring of Ch and NLf enhances the antibacteri...

Polymethylmethacrylate-graphene (PMMA/RGO) nanocomposites were prepared via in situ bulk polymerization using two different preparation techniques. In the first approach, a mixture of graphite oxide (GO) and methylmethacrylate monomers (MMA) were polymerized using a bulk polymerization method with a free radical initiator. After the addition of the reducing agent hydrazine hydrate (HH), the pro...

The composites graphite/ZnO were prepared using calcination method. Zinc chloride (ZnCl2) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) were used for synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO), whereas micromilled and natural graphite were used as the matrix for ZnO nanoparticles growing. During the reaction of ZnCl2 with saturated aqueous solution of Na2CO3 new compound Na2Zn3(CO3)4•(H2O)3 originates. During the calcinati...

In recent years, a lot of research has been done in the field of producing soft magnetic nano composites by means of mechanical alloying. These materials indicate more electrical resistance and permeability in comparison with soft magnetic composites (SMCs). In this research, reduction of silicothermal mixed powder (Nickel-oxide, Silicon and Iron) was carried out by mechanical alloying to form ...

Graphene oxide (GO)/ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) composites were successfully fabricated through the mechanical ball milling technology and processed according to the hot pressing method. The fractured microstructure features and mechanical properties of the GO/UHMWPE composites were investigated by Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and universal testing machine, respective...
