The CNF1 was produced from Kenaf bast fibers by use of mechanical method and the CNF2 was synthesized by use of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique. The produced fillers were dispersed into polypropylene, to manufacture nanocomposites (CNF1/PP and CNF2/PP). Analysis and comparison were made on the effects of the natural fibers with synthetics fibers having the same size and dimension, on the properties of polymer matrix. The characteristics of the CNF1 and CNF2 such as morphology, structure and composition were studied through SEM, TEM and EDX. Tensile test is used to evaluate the mechanical properties of the produced nanocomposites.

Different potential drug delivery vehicles, which are biocompatible and non-toxic, have been synthesized and developed for the controlled release of drugs targeting specific organs or areas. A delivery agent procured from sustainable sources with less or no side effects is more advantageous in terms of compatibility and toxicity. Among a few bioresources, one such material obtained is the nanocellulose-based drug delivery vehicle. They are ideal for the transport and release of drugs since they are biocompatible and possess good mechanical properties. A major characteristic feature of nanocellulose is that different surface modifications are possible due to the presence of a large number of hydroxyl groups, which can strengthen the interactions required with the therapeutic drug for delivery. Pharmaceutical drugs can strongly bind to the nanocellulose...

The morphological, thermal, wetting, and mechanical properties of the nanocomposites were analyzed for CNC content between 0 and 5 wt%. Morphological analyses showed different roughness in the fractured surface of neat PA and its nanocomposites after the addition of CNC. The modified composite is found to have a smooth surface without cracks and showed increased roughness with greater hydrophilicity and thermal stability. The nano-indentation results showed that the highest hardness was obtained at 5% CNC loading for the solution cast composite samples, which could be related to the relatively good CNC dispersion with good filler matrix bonding as evidenced by the morphological characterization. We also observed that ...

The surface of CNC was modified with silane coupling agent to improve filler-matrix adhesion. Solution casting method was used to prepare PVC nanocomposites with various amounts of modified (SCNC) and unmodified (CNC) nanocrystals. Both SCNC and CNC were examined by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) which showed that surface chemical modification has occurred. An increase in tensile strength was observed with the addition of SCNC compared to the CNC. However, the elongation at break of the nanocomposites was found to decrease with the increase of both fillers loading. An increasing trend was observed in the tensile modulus with the addition of CNC to the PVC matrix, but decreasing with the addition of SCNC. The morphology of a fractured surface of nanocomposites showed silane modification r...

The effect of varying amounts of LNR and LENR on the morphology, thermal, and mechanical properties of UPR were evaluated. Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy was used to investigate the probable crosslinking reaction and changes in the functional groups on crosslinking. Field emission scanning electron microscopy and infinite focus microscopy were used to study the morphology of fracture surfaces. Tensile test showed that both the rubber-modified resins (1.5 wt %) improved tensile strength. The viscoelastic properties and thermal stability of the toughened polyesters were evaluated using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis and thermogravimetric analysis, respectively. A slight reduction in the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the polyester was reported on the addition of both the rubbers. An increment in impact strength and fracture toughness was observed at 1.5 wt % for LNR and 4.5 wt % for LENR-modified UPR. The results showed that both the liquid rubbers improved the mechanical properties of UPR. However, LENR-modified UPR exhibited a more significant improvement in the mechanical properties compared to LNR-modified UPR. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2014, 131, 41292.
