introduction: biodegradable films for food packaging applications have attracted an increasing amount of consideration over the last two decades, predominantly due to environmental pollution and the realization that our petroleum resources are not infinite. starch, which is one of the natural biopolymers, has been considered as one of the best candidates primarily because of its processbility, ...

A simple and efficient method for the synthesis of quinolines and polycyclic quinolines using Li+ modified nanoporous Na+-montmorillonite is described. This new nanocatalyst proceeds via Friedlander annulation under solvent-free conditions. It describes our observations about a trend of catalytic activity of Lithium cation in nanoporous Na+-montmorillonite. In this study, several types of 1,3-d...

Nanoporous sodium montmorillonite clay (Na+-MMT) was used as a support for the immobilization of 1-methyl-3-(trimethoxysilylpropyl)-imidazolium hydrogen sulfate (Na+-MMT-[pmim]HSO4). This catalyst showed excellent catalytic activity for the preparation of 2-amino-3-cyano-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-benzopyrans via three-component reactions betw...

In this study, nanocomposite coatings based on polyurethane cerium nitrate montmorillonite (MMT) were prepared, applied on carbon steel substrates, and investigated. The nanocomposite coatings were successfully prepared by the effective dispersing of nanoparticles in polyurethane resin by mechanical and sonication processes. The state of dispersion, dissolution, and incorporation were character...

This research paper focuses on the tribology analysis of MMT - Montmorillonite nanoclay alkali-treated coconut sheath reinforced hybrid composite. The study aims to analyze mechanical properties polymer composites as compared traditional synthetic fibers. specific impact clay material’s is also considered. experimental method involves use compression molding for fabrication, and various treatme...

Abstract The overview of the literature reveals lack comprehensive study on effect clay minerals in flame-retarded polylactic acid (PLA) composites. This research focuses sepiolite (SEP) and montmorillonite (MMT) their impact ammonium polyphosphate (APP)-based intumescent flame-retardant (IFR) system PLA. effects mineral types, surface modification (O-SEP O-MMT, respectively) concentration PLA/...

For the adsorption of copper (II) and zinc ions from polluted water, an efficient inexpensive nanoadsorbent; nickel ferrite-modified montmorillonite nanocomposite was synthesized by co-precipitation mechano-chemically modified with salts iron. The natural MMT, (NiFe2O4-Mod MMT) nanoadsorbent were characterized several techniques including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffracti...
