Abstract:Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) based on natural biomaterials are essential for energy-harvesting applications. In this work, an efficient approach was proposed to enhance the electrical performance of chitosan (CS), which is a naturally occurring biopolymer with the incorporation of polyethylenimine-grafted graphene oxide (PEI-GO) nanoparticles. Triboelectric properties of the different weight combinations of PEI-GO in CS were tested against polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). An improvement in the mechanical… Show more
This work shows that various polyurethanes (FPUs) prepared using biomass-derived furan diols can be applied as promising tribopositive materials. The elastic FPUs having proper glass transition temperature (Tg) could be...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
