“…Thereby, to overcome the shortcomings, the addition of trace amounts of the nanofillers like nanoclays, carbon nanotubes, graphene, etc. in the polymer matrices offers unique and diverse synergistic properties . Among them, 2‐dimensional graphene is considered more promising nanofiller for obtaining advanced polymer nanocomposites exhibiting multifunctional characteristics not only used in biomedical applications but also in food packaging as well as in biosensors and textiles for eco‐friendly sustainable usage .…”

Super Toughening, Strengthening, and Antimicrobial Behaviors of Cyclic Olefinic Copolymer/Few Layer Graphene Nanocomposites

High stiffness, strength, super toughness along with fungistatic and bacteriostatic properties of cyclic olefinic copolymer (COC)/few layer graphene (FLG) nanocomposites have been demonstrated. At lower concentrations (≤0.5 wt%), FLG is dispersed well in the COC matrix while agglomeration occurs at higher concentration (≥0.5 wt%) as revealed by x‐ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. Both, strengthening and super toughening behaviors are exhibited by the COC/FLG nanocomposites. For instance, the tensile strength, modulus, and toughness of COC/FLG nanocomposites are enhanced ∼160%, 83%, and one order of magnitude, respectively. Such reinforcement and super toughening mechanisms are pertaining to the effective dissipation of loads across polymer/filler interfaces owing to their good interfacial interactions. Thereby, delays the process of crack growth by avoiding the generation of stress concentration sites. Moreover, antimicrobial properties of COC/FLG nanocomposites are also improved. As compared with neat COC, the nanocomposite system inhibits both bacterial and fungal growth under the area of the film, displaying bacteriostatic as well as fungistatic characteristics. POLYM.

“…High blood glucose levels and a diet loaded with high salt are considered adaptation mechanisms that may help camels to survive in driest and harshest condition. The camel rapidly evolving genes include some that regulate insulin signaling pathways, salt metabolism and also duplications of genes which play critical roles in sodium reabsorption and water balance in the kidney (Jirimutu et al 2012;Burger and Palmieri 2014;Wu et al 2014Wu et al , 2015Almathen et al 2016;Fitak et al 2016). The identification of key genes involved in the adaptation to the desert environment may have applications in breeding programs and may provide some perspective for disease-resistance research in different animal species.…”
