“…The method comprises of three simple steps which are; the scattering of the filler, the polymer incorporation and the solvent removal through the distillation process or evaporation [34]. This method is also relatively cheap because it does not need the use of expensive equipment or expensive operative protocols, although it has a many steps [35]. Other advantages about this technique are; the method allows for good dispersion of thin particles because of the efficient fragmentation of organoclay agglomerates [35,36].…”

This in effect, generates greatly filled key batches that can later be mixed with pristine polymer through the melt compounding process.…”

“…The synthesis step of this method typically involves dissipating a polymer in a solvent and suspending the filler in a different compatible solvent. Different solvents such as acetone, tetrahydrofuran (THF), toluene, chloroform, dimethylformamide and cyclohexane are utilized in this method [35]. As mentioned above, the solution blending generates ensures excellent exfoliation and dispersion of the filler within the elastomeric matrix [37].…”

The need for cleaner sources of energy has become a serious need now more than ever due to the rising effects of fossil fuels on the environment. Technological advancement in society today has necessitated the need for fast and robust materials that will match the speed at which society is moving forward. Hydrogen as an alternative source, has garnered a lot of attention due to its zero emission characteristic. In this chapter, a background on hydrogen storage and its impact on the ‘envisaged green environment’ is discussed. Graphene and borohydrides hydrogen storage materials are reviewed extensively and the kinetic models thereof. Furthermore, the reaction mechanism of graphene nanocomposites is also discussed.

“…Therefore, alternative methods which is able to process insoluble CNTs and ensure uniformly distribution are required. In-situ polymerization is a construct strategy in which the monomers or pre-polymers can mixed with functionalized CNTs or monomer-grafted CNTs, followed by the polymerization carried out by adjusting the temperature and time [96,111,112]. This method allows a strong interaction between polymer matrix and CNTs by the covalent linkage or the non-covalent linkage.…”

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), with unique graphitic structure, superior mechanical, electrical, optical and biological properties, has attracted more and more interests in biomedical applications, including gene/drug delivery, bioimaging, biosensor and tissue engineering. In this review, we focus on the role of CNTs and their polymeric composites in tissue engineering applications, with emphasis on their usages in the nerve, cardiac and bone tissue regenerations. The intrinsic natures of CNTs including their physical and chemical properties are first introduced, explaining the structure effects on CNTs electrical conductivity and various functionalization of CNTs to improve their hydrophobic characteristics. Biosafety issues of CNTs are also discussed in detail including the potential reasons to induce the toxicity and their potential strategies to minimise the toxicity effects. Several processing strategies including solution-based processing, polymerization, melt-based processing and grafting methods are presented to show the 2D/3D construct formations using the polymeric composite containing CNTs. For the sake of improving mechanical, electrical and biological properties and minimising the potential toxicity effects, recent advances using polymer/CNT composite the tissue engineering applications are displayed and they are mainly used in the neural tissue (to improve electrical conductivity and biological properties), cardiac tissue (to improve electrical, elastic properties and biological properties) and bone tissue (to improve mechanical properties and biological properties). Current limitations of CNTs in the tissue engineering are discussed and the corresponded future prospective are also provided. Overall, this review indicates that CNTs are promising “next-generation” materials for future biomedical applications.

there have been tremendous efforts to improve their performance, safety, costeffectiveness, and sustainability. [1] In the last four decades, dedicated research in material science toward developing electrodes, separators, electrolytes, current collectors, packaging materials, etc., have significantly contributed to the advancement of LIB technology. [2] Indeed, the progress in cell engineering and processing conditions has aided the evolution of high energy density LIBs (energy density >250 Wh kg −1 ), leading to their widespread application spanning from electronic devices to electric vehicles and stationary/ grid energy storage. [1] Considering the contributions that led to the invention of LIB technology, John B. Goodenough, Stanley Whittingham, and Akira Yoshino received the Chemistry Nobel Prize in 2019. [3] Despite their huge success, research and development on LIBs and allied battery technologies are still a hot topic in both academia and industry offering opportunities for breakthrough innovations and discoveries. Figure 1a presents a schematic illustration of the state-of-theart LIB and its main components. Liquid electrolytes based on organic solvents and lithium salts are the primary choice as electrolytes in LIBs due to their high ionic conductivity and good Polymer composite electrolytes (PCEs), i.e., materials combining the disciplines of polymer chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and electrochemistry, have received tremendous attention within academia and industry for lithiumbased battery applications. While PCEs often comprise 3D micro-or nanoparticles, this review thoroughly summarizes the prospects of 2D layered inorganic, organic, and hybrid nanomaterials as active (ion conductive) or passive (nonion conductive) fillers in PCEs. The synthetic inorganic nanofillers covered here include graphene oxide, boron nitride, transition metal chalcogenides, phosphorene, and MXenes. Furthermore, the use of naturally occurring 2D layered clay minerals, such as layered double hydroxides and silicates, in PCEs is also thoroughly detailed considering their impact on battery cell performance. Despite the dominance of 2D layered inorganic materials, their organic and hybrid counterparts, such as 2D covalent organic frameworks and 2D metal-organic frameworks are also identified as tuneable nanofillers for use in PCE. Hence, this review gives an overview of the plethora of options available for the selective development of both the 2D layered nanofillers and resulting PCEs, which can revolutionize the field of polymer-based solid-state electrolytes and their implementation in lithium and post-lithium batteries.
