Structure and properties of 4-aminobenzoic acid-modified polyvinyl chloride and functionalized graphite-based membranes

Preparation and properties of 4-aminobenzoic acid-modified polyvinyl chloride/titanium dioxide and PVC/TiO2 based nanocomposites membranes

“…Porosity was measured by respective formulas, as reported in the literature. [24][25][26] Membranes have physical spaces in their structure called "pores". The dimension of these pores can be in the range of micron to a nanometer scale.…”

“…In our previous works, we prepared modified PVC with graphene oxide (GO) to develop a membrane for water purification and realized good thermal stability, high water flux and water content, and low contact angle. 24,25 However, expensive chemicals and multi-step preparation of these composite membranes limit its practical application. For the foreseeable future, membranes must demonstrate improved characteristics and provide a cost-effective, simple, and safe route for developing countries.…”

Machine learning assisted designing of non-fullerene electron acceptors: A quest for lower exciton binding energy

“…They provide increased adaptability, ranging from flexible solar panels that adapt to irregular surfaces to wearable solar-powered clothes. These cutting-edge photovoltaic technologies are redefining how we produce electricity and opening the door to a cleaner environment by harnessing the power of organic materials [ 3 , 4 ].…”

Achieving high-performance epoxy nanocomposites with trifunctional poly(oxypropylene)amines functionalized graphene oxide

“…To improve the compatibility of GO with polymeric matrices, chemical functionalization through oxygen functional groups which were provided by GO receives much attention. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] Pu et al reported a simple way to synthesize amphiphilic graphene oxide (AGO) by grafting quaternary ammonium salt onto GO sheets. The modified AGO sheets, which can be well dispersed in many polar and nonpolar solvents, were used as a 2-D surfactant to improve the interfacial interaction between ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) and linear lowdensity polyethylene (LLDPE).…”
