The second phase dispersed in the polymer matrix can be carbon nanotubes, semi-conducting inorganic nanoparticles or layer silicates such as clay. Crystallisation in these materials is also of great interest. Polymers exhibit structures at various scales (e.g. lamella, unit cell and spherulites) and the presence of a second phase has a profound effect on crystallisation. General trends observed include acceleration/retardation of crystallisation, changes in spherulite morphology and, in a few cases, changes in the crystal structure. All these observations relate to the presence of a micrometre scale second phase. However, when the dimensions of the second phase are close to the chain dimensions, the effects on crystallisation become particularly interesting. An attempt is made in the present review to address the effect of a nanoscale second phase on aspects such as isothermal and non-isothermal crystallisation, spherulite growth, phase transformation and polymorphism.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.008</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wanjale, Santosh D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jog, Jyoti Prakash</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crystallization and phase transformation kinetics of poly(1-butene)/MWCNT nanocomposites</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polymer</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MWCNT</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phase transformation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">poly(1-butene)</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2006</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AUG</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ELSEVIER SCI LTD</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">47</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6414-6421</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Poly(1-butene)/MWCNT nanocomposites were prepared by simple melt processing technique. Crystallization, crystal-to-crystal phase transformation and spherulitic morphology were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and optical microscopy (OM). The non-isothermal crystallization exhibited higher values of Z, derived from Avrami theory and lower values of F(T) obtained from Avrami-Ozawa analysis, while the isothermal crystallization revealed a significant increase in crystallization temperatures and lower crystallization half times compared to pristine PB. The observed changes in the crystallization kinetics were ascribed to the enhanced nucleation of PB in the presence of MWCNT. The nucleating activity calculated from the non-isothermal crystallization data revealed that the MWCNTs provide an active surface for the nucleation of PB. The optical micrographs exhibited significantly smaller crystallites with disordered morphology for the nanocomposites compared to the well defined spherulitic morphology for pristine PB. The rate of phase transformation from kinetically favored tetragonal to thermodynamically stable hexagonal form was noticeably enhanced as evidenced by the reduction in the half time for phase transformation from 58 h to 25 h for PB reinforced with 7% MWCNT.

Effects of such reduction in gas permeability on variation in selectivity of nanocomposites prepared using a high permeability polymer were examined. The polyarylate: poly (tetramethyl bisphenolA-iso/terephthalate) that exhibits high permeability and moderate selectivity was chosen for making nanocomposites with two organically modified clays (Cloisite 6A and 10A) by solution intercalation method. The nanocomposite formation for various clay loadings (3, 5 and 7% w/w) in polyarylate was ascertained by change in physical properties (X-ray diffraction, DMA, TEM). Behavior of solution viscosity and nanocomposite density indicated existence of polymer-clay layer interactions. As anticipated, though the gas permeability of pure gases, viz., He, N-2, CH4 and CO2 exhibited decrease, it was not monotonous. This decrease was more for larger gases (N-2, CH4 and CO2) in comparison to the decrease for smaller gas (He) permeability. This led to a decrease in CO2/N-2 and CO2/CH4 selectivities and increase in He/CO2 selectivity; while He/CH4 selectivity was increased substantially at 7% clay loading. This variation indicated feasibility of nanocomposites formation as a tool for improving selectivity of certain gas pairs. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

The incorporation of laponite in NC membranes was investigated by FTIR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The swelling ratio of membranes was determined as a function of temperature and laponite content. Swelling studies of NC membranes exhibited the decrease in swelling with an increase in laponite content in the NC membranes. The swelling ratio of NC membrane with 20% laponite slightly increased with an increase in temperature. Dynamic mechanical analysis showed the systematic increase in storage modulus with laponite content, which indicates the enhancement of mechanical property upon laponite addition. There was also a decrease in the tan 6 peak values of NC membranes with an increase in laponite content in NCs. The permeabilities through NC membranes as a function of solute size and laponite content were studied and the results showed molecular screening based on size. The permeability of solute reduced due to the presence of well-dispersed laponite in the NC.

The reinforcement effect of carbon nanotubes in the copolyester was investigated experimentally using different approaches based on dynamic mechanical analysis, theology and dielectric analysis. The nanocomposites show a mechanical reinforcement effect with significant increase in the stiffness especially in the rubbery regime with increasing nanotube content. An increase in T-g and a decrease in damping are seen, which are derived from the presence of a percolating superstructure of the filler. Rheological experiments show an increase in storage modulus up to four orders of magnitude. Viscolelastic characterization shows that the percolation threshold is at 3 wt% of nanotubes. Dielectric relaxation spectroscopy confirms the presence of this percolating structure. We conclude that the responses of both rheological and electrical properties are different, although both are related to the formation of a percolating network superstructure of the filler.

The nanocomposites of PVDF with BaTiO3 ( 10-30% by wt%) are prepared using simple melt mixing method. In dielectric permittivity study, two relaxation processes are identified corresponding to the crystalline, glass transition in the PVDF/BaTiO3 nanocomposites. The peaks shift to higher frequencies as the temperature is increased. Electric modulus formalism is used to analyze the dielectric relaxations to overcome the conductivity effects at low frequencies. In M `' spectra two peaks are observed only at high temperature and low frequency whereas a single relaxation peak appears at low temperatures. The single relaxation peak appearing at low temperatures is the alpha(c) relaxation attributed to crystalline chain relaxation in PVDF and the second relaxation peak which appears only at high temperatures and at a frequency lower than alpha(c) relaxation is identified as MWS relaxation.

Intercalated namocomposites were prepared by melt compounding technique as evidenced from the X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy studies. Two relaxation processes were observed in pure PETG as well as in the nanocomposites. The low-temperature beta-process was assigned to the local motions of C=O polar groups and the alpha-process was due to the glass-rubber transition or the segmental relaxations associated with the polymer chain backbone. Presence of layered silicates accelerated alpha-relaxation dynamics in the nanocomposites accompanied by a depression in T(g) which was attributed to the reduced intermolecular cooperativity between intercalated polymers chains. Additionally, a direct comparison between the viscoelastic and dielectric studies shows excellent agreement between the accelerated alpha dynamics of the nanocomposites.

The nanocomposites are characterized for structure using scanning electron microscopy. The viscoelastic behavior of the nanocomposites is investigated in solid as well as melt state. The study reveals a significant increase in storage modulus especially in the rubbery regime of the polymer matrix and reduced tan delta. Rheological properties in melt show that the complex viscosity and shear storage modulus are increased as a result of incorporation of MWNT. A systematic decrease in the cross over frequency is noted which is attributed to the increased relaxation time. In dielectric analysis, composition dependent enhanced permittivity and conductivity are observed. The thermal stability of the polymer is found to be significantly improved in presence of MWNT's.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0.574</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dhanalakshmi, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jog, Jyoti Prakash</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Preparation and characterization of electrospun fibers of nylon 11</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Express Polymer Letters</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">biocompatible polymers</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">electrospinning</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nanomaterials</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nylon 11</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AUG</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BUDAPEST UNIV TECHNOL &amp; ECON</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DEPT POLYMER ENG, MUEGYETEM RKP 3, BUDAPEST, H-1111, HUNGARY</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">540-545</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Nylon 11 nanofibers mats were successfully prepared by electrospinning process from formic acid solution.

The present work aims to study the effect of clay on dielectric behavior of PVDF. The dielectric permittivity study shows a remarkable enhancement in the permittivity of nanocomposites in the low frequency region. The obtained permittivity values fits quite well to the prediction of dielectric permittivity from Vo-Shi model, which takes contribution of interface to permittivity into account. This enhanced permittivity in nanocomposites is attributed to the presence of interfacial polarization. The interface effect is further studied with cole-cole plot analysis. The dielectric loss study of pristine PVDF shows two relaxations associated with segmental (glass transition relaxation) and crystalline chain relaxation. However in the PVDF/Clay nanocomposites crystalline relaxation peak disappears which is attributed to the formation of the beta phase in PVDF/clay nanocomposites.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0.574</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Babrekar, Harshada A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kulkarni, Naveen V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jog, Jyoti Prakash</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mathe, Vikas L.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bhoraskar, S.

Aluminium is used as a filler and polystyrene as a polymer-matrix. Aluminium particles, with micrometer and nanometer dimensions having different morphologies, were employed. The values of emissivities were reduced when the coarse grains and flakes of aluminium were used as fillers, whereas, no significant change was observed when nano-aluminium was used in the composite. Dielectric dispersion for the composites was measured and the results are analysed in view of Fresnel relation. The differences in the values of dielectric constants, between the experimentally measured and those which can be predicted theoretically, are thought to arise from the interfacial polarization.

They are accumulated intracellularly as energy storage compounds. The PHAs are of interest because of their potential in biomedical applications. Halophilic bacteria and archaea are known to produce polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB). This paper describes production of a biodegradable copolymer, PHB-co-PHV by a moderately haloalkalitolerant Halomonas campisalis, isolated from Lonar Lake, India. The production of PHA was in the range of 45-81% on dry cell weight basis when the organism was grown in a production medium containing 1% (w/v) maltose and 0.1% (w/v) yeast extract, at pH ranging from 6 to 9 with an inoculum density of 10(5)-10(7) cells/ml of medium, for incubation period of 15-30 h and at 37 degrees C. The polymer produced by the organism is a hydroxyester with molecular weight of 1.3014 x 10(6). Its melting temperature was 171 degrees C. The (1)H NMR analysis revealed that the polymer was a copolymer of PHB-co-PHV. This could be achieved by providing simple carbon source viz. maltose. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

However the simultaneous presence of multiple cation precursors makes the corresponding chemical synthesis non-trivial with possible intermediate evolution of secondary phases. Such phases could react at high temperatures to form the desired stoichiometry, but this process is diffusion limited and can lead to larger particles. In this work we examine the role of three different reaction and growth controlling additives, namely dextran, citric acid and hexamine, on the synthesis of the well known colossal magneto-resistive (CMR) manganite La0.7Sr0.3MnO3. We demonstrate that phase evolutions differ significantly in the three cases, and the physical properties of the products also differ dramatically. Only dextran is shown to yield the desired phase with faceted nanoparticles at as low a temperature as 600 degrees C. A high saturation moment of similar to 47 emu/gm is realized at 10 K with a good square hysteresis loop. In 650 degrees C annealed sample, room temperature magnetization of similar to 15 emu/gm was obtained, which brings the nanoparticles in the applicability domain.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.75</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rathna, Gundloori Venkata Naga</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jog, Jyoti Prakash</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gaikwad, A.

In our studies, we explored the viability of EA and various blends with biocompatible and non-toxic poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) to produce nanofibers for biomedical applications. EA and PVA blends were prepared in various compositions. Electrospinning was used to fabricate non-woven nanofibers. Solution properties, such as viscosity and electrical conductivity, were evaluated for various prepared solutions. Solution viscosity increased with increasing polymer concentration. Solutions with higher contents of EA recorded increased conductivity, which decreased with increasing PVA content. The influence of solution properties on the morphological appearance of as-spun products was studied using scanning electron microscopy. Instead of nanofibers, nanoparticles and microparticles of EA were produced at even higher contents. In contrast, a gradual increase in the addition of PVA content to 8% EA solution resulted in the transformation of particles from large agglomerates to very fine fibers (approximate to 100nm in diameter) because of the influence of polymer content, viscosity and conductivity. The polymer-polymer interactions in the prepared materials have been validated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and gel electrophoresis.

The prepared films were characterized for structural, morphology and dielectric properties. The morphology analysis revealed uniform dispersion of multiwalled carbon nanotubes throughout the polymer matrix. X-ray diffraction results suggested that the poly (vinylidene fluoride) film is in amorphous phase while addition of multiwalled carbon nanotubes showed presence of crystalline peaks in the nanocomposites films. It was interesting to note that the nanocomposite films exhibits significant enhancement of the ferroelectric beta-phase as evidenced by the X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results. The dielectric analysis shows a remarkable enhancement in the dielectric permittivity of nanocomposites with lower loss and conductivity level. The results can be attributed to the formation of minicapacitor network and relatively higher percolation threshold in the nanocomposites. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

The composites were synthesized by depositing ZnO on polyimide surface by pulsed laser deposition technique. ZnO target was ablated at different incident energy densities and the substrate (polyimide) was held at elevated temperature. This facilitated the c-axis oriented growth of ZnO, which was inferred from the X-ray diffraction analysis. The composites consisted of multilayers having different electrical resistivities. The values of which are also estimated from Hagen-Rubens relation. The reduced infrared emissivities of the composite films, as compared to polyimide, were correlated to the increased carrier concentration and reduced surface resistivity estimated from the Hall measurements.

High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and fluorescence microscopy are used to characterize the constitution, size, composition and physical properties of these superparamagnetic-fluorescent nanoparticles. These CdTe decorated magnetite nanoparticles were then functionalized with anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibody to specifically target cells expressing this receptor. The EGFR is a transmembrane glycoprotein and is expressed on tumor cells from different tissue origins including human leukemic cell line Molt-4 cells. The magnetite-CdTe composite nanosystem is shown to perform excellently for specific selection, magnetic separation and fluorescent detection of EGFR positive Molt-4 cells from a mixed population. Flow cytometry and confocal laser scanning microscopy results show that this composite nanosystem has great potential in antibody functionalized magnetic separation and imaging of cells using cell surface receptor antibody.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">22</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.41</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chanmal, Chetan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Deo, Meenal S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rana, Abhimanyu</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jog, Jyoti Prakash</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ogale, Satishchandra B.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Strong electric field modulation of transport in PVDF/MWCNT nanocomposite near the percolation threshold</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Solid State Communications</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Field effect device</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">pulsed laser deposition</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PVDF</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scanning tunneling microscopy</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NOV</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, ENGLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">151</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1612-1615</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;A nanocomposite comprising of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) embedded in ferroelectric Poly(vinylidene fluoride) PVDF polymer matrix is examined for electric field induced transport modulation.

The process differs distinctly from any strategies wherein the aromatic rings are broken in the primary process. It is demonstrated that this pulsed laser-induced photochemical stitching (PLPS) process when applied to routine laboratory solvents (or toxic chemical wastes when discarded) Chlorobenzene and o-Dichlorobenzene yields Carbon Nanospheres (CNSs) comprising of graphene-like sheets assembled in onion-like configurations. This room temperature process implemented under normal laboratory conditions is versatile and clearly applicable to the whole family of haloaromatic compounds without and with additions of precursors or other nanomaterials. We further bring out its applicability for synthesis of metal-oxide based carbon nanocomposites. Copyright 2012 Author(s).

The process involves pulsed excimer laser irradiation of a thin layer of liquid haloaromatic organic solvent o-dichlorobenzene (DCB). The coating reflects a carbon nanoparticle-self assembled and process-controlled morphology that yields solar to electric power conversion efficiency of 5.1% as opposed to 6.2% obtained with the conventional Pt-based electrode.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6.233

The composite can be prepared by annealing the MOF at different temperatures (500 degrees C and 600 degrees C), each case exhibiting unique properties in terms of the hydrophobic behaviour and surface area, resulting in specific applicability domains.

Thermal analysis indicated a compositional dependant decrease in the melting and crystallization temperatures of Nylon 6. The blends exhibited a single compositional dependant glass transition temperature in dynamic mechanical thermal analysis and dielectrical relaxation spectroscopy over entire mixing ratio indicating miscibility between the blend components. The values of flexural modulus and tensile modulus of the blends are found to increase without significant loss in the impact properties. The water absorption of the blends is also lower than the values calculated by rule of mixtures. The observed synergistic behavior of the mechanical properties of the blends is indicative of presence of strong interactions in the blends components. (c) 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.

The surface properties of the polystyrene nanofibers were modulated by introducing TiO2 nanoparticles. The contact angle of the PS nanofiber membrane was found to be decreased with increasing concentration of TiO2, depicted enhanced hydrophilicity. These membranes were highly effective in adsorbing Cu2+ ions from water. The adsorption capacity of these membranes was found to be 522 mg/g, which is significantly higher than the results reported by other researchers. This was attributed to enhanced hydrophilicity of the PS/TiO2 composite nanofiber membranes and effective adsorption property of TiO2 nanoparticles. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc.
