This article reports the synthesis of engineered materials i.e. composite materials based on matrix (polymeric polyacrylic acid) and reinforcement (organic clay) through 6-hour and 12-hour ultrasonication at different intervals. All the precursors and desired composite materials were characterized by Fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The disappearance of Si-O characteristic peak after ultrasonication justifies the fabrication and incorporation of organoclay in the polymeric structure of polyacrylic acid as revealed by FT-IR analysis. The SEM images interpreted the surface morphology, porosity, distribution and compatibility of matrix and reinforcement in it, which has been achieved successfully in this study for exfoliation form.

In this study, it was achieved that crosslinking of PVP/GEL nanofibers with two-steps. Crosslinking is a process highly important for water-soluble polymers in terms of application areas and mechanical properties. Firstly, crosslinking of PVP polymers experimental studies were carried out via heat treatment at different temperatures and times. Then, GEL polymers were crosslinked with GTA vapour at different times. Morphological analysis was carried out via SEM images and chemical characteristics were determined via FT-IR analysis. Moreover, after the crosslinking process, SD and WL values were calculated. All results showed that before crosslinking of SEM images, nanofibers were smooth, fine and without beads. The average fiber diameter is 196 nm and the fiber diameter distribution is quite uniform. After crosslinking of SEM images, it is expected that all nanowebs will turn from fibrous surfaces to membranous. Generally, SD and WL values decrease with crosslinking time increase. According to all of the SEM images, SD and WL values, optimum conditions were determined for PVP as 4 hours at 180oC and for GEL as 24 hours. Lastly, the presence of PVP and GEL polymers in the nanofiber structure was verified chemically with FT-IR analysis.

Abstract Advanced silica/lignosulfonate composites were obtained using magnesium lignosulfonate and silica precipitated in a polar medium. For comparative purposes analogous synthesis was performed using commercial silica Aerosil®200. Lignosulfonates are waste products of paper industry and their application in new multifunctional materials is of great economic interest. The composites obtained were subjected to thorough characterization by determination of their physicochemical, dispersive-morphological and electrokinetic properties. Their particle size distribution was measured, SEM images were taken, FT-IR analysis and colorimetric study were made, thermal and electrokinetic stabilities and parameters of porous structure were also determined. The results can be of interest in further application studies

In this study, a series of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/chitosan (CS) hydrogels with different weight ratio of PVA to CS were prepared by freezing-thawing (F-T) method. The structure, morphology, and crystallinity of hydrogels were investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). FTIR demonstrated the presence of strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds between CS and PVA molecules. SEM images showed that the higher the chitosan, the greater the porous size of the hydrogel and DSC confirmed that crystallinity is higher when PVA is more in hydrogel. The mechanical properties of these hydrogels were studied by rheometry. The study of swelling ability demonstrated that the hydrogel developed with PVA and Cs was more swellable than that with PVA only because of its cross-linking interaction with PVA.

Fabrication And Characterization

Synthesis and characterization of polyester nanocomposites was conducted in order to fabricate hybrid composite materials of polyester/montmorillonite (MMT). Polyester based polymeric nanocomposite materials were synthesized by incorporating MMT nanoclay to produce polyester/MMT hybrid materials. Successful efforts were made to fabricate hybrid nanocomposite materials based on matrix (polyester based) and reinforcement (organoclay) through sonication at 6 and 12 hours. Synthesized nanocomposite polymers (polyester/MMT) showed different properties when compared to the properties of MMT and polyester, which confirmed the successful fabrication of the desired material. The finest incorporation of polyester with MMT was verified by UV-Visible spectrophotometer, Fourier tranform-infrared (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The disappearance of the Si-O characteristic peak was observed in the FTIR spectrum justifying the fabrication of the desired composite materials. Colored SEM images were used to confirm the fine homogenous distribution of organoclay. Black SEM images showed the matrix and reinforcement together. SEM, FTIR and UV-Visible spectroscopic techniques were used to analyze polyester based nanocomposite materials and organoclay was found randomly distributed in the polymeric matrix whereas on the surface was observed to be mostly uniform.

Lubis M, Harahap MB, Ginting MHS, Maysarah S, Gana A. 2018. Short Communication: The effect of ethylene glycol as plasticizer against mechanical properties of bioplastic originated from jackfruit seed starch and cocoa pod husk. Nusantara Bioscience 10: 76-80. The addition of elasticity of bioplastic from jackfruit seed starch reinforced with cacao pod husk was studied using ethylene glycol as plasticizer. This study aimed to investigate the effect of addition of ethylene glycol as plasticizer against mechanical properties of bioplastic from jackfruit seed starch and cacao pod husk. Bioplastic was made by casting method at temperature 88.1 ̊C with ratios of cacao pod husk as fillers and jackfruit seed as starch were 9:1, 8:2, 7:3, 6:4, and 5:5 (w/v). The variations of ethylene glycol were from 0.2 (v/w) to 0.4 (v/w). The result showed that ethylene glycol could increase the mechanical properties of bioplastic. The best condition of bioplastic was achieved at ratio 7:3 in addition of ethylene glycol was 0.2 (v/w) with tensile strength of 15.40 MPa and elongation at break 2.39%. The result of FT-IR analysis indicated that bioplastics consisted of O-H group, C-H group, C=O group and C-O group. The SEM images demonstrated the bioplastic with cacao pod husk as filler and ethylene glycol as plasticizer had the fracture surfaces with the compact structure compared to that bioplastic without fillers.

Recently, we have reported that syndiotactic polypropylene (sPP) fibrous membrane could be successfully prepared from a multi component solvent system via electrospinning at room temperature. The base solvent of multi component solvent system was cyclohexane. As demonstrated SEM images, the formation of rough surface morphologies and the microholes on electrospun sPP fibers were observed. In this study, we successfully prepared sPP nanofiber webs from a different base solvent was decalin. SEM study demonstrated that the sPP nanofibers prepared from decalin based solvent had smoother surface morphology unlike cyclohexane based solvent, suggesting that the surface morphology of electrospun sPP nanofibers depended on the boiling point of each solvent used. Moreover, to investigate the crystal and molecular structures of electrospun sPP fibers from a different solvent system (i.e., decalin and cyclohexane based solvents), WAXD and FT-IR analysis were carried out. The results showed that the different solvent systems caused the different surface morphologies but the crystal and molecular structure of the electrospun sPP fibers didn’t change.

Abstract A series of mixtures of acrylic copolymer aqueous dispersions or acrylic copolymers and polyurethane water dispersions were used as environmentally friendly base coatings and an acrylic self-crosslinkable copolymer dispersion containing epoxy resin as top coating for natural leather. Samples finished with the proposed additives were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and physical-mechanical tests. FT-IR spectra show that the proposed ecofriendly dispersion used as top coating not only covers the surface of leather, but it is chemically bound with the base coat, assuring a resistant coverage. SEM images show smooth and uniform surfaces. Physical-mechanical characteristics are superior to those imposed by standards in force, demonstrating that the proposed dispersion is able to substitute successfully the top coating nitrocellulose aqueous emulsions (noted EMAL) commonly used as finishing agents, in which the nitrocellulose is dispersed as solution.
