Ionizing radiation has been used in the treatment of cancer for more than 100 years. While often very effective, there is still a great effort in place to improve the efficacy of radiation therapy for controlling the progression and recurrence of tumors. Recent research has revealed the close interaction between nerves and tumor progression, especi...

The pyrolysis and co-pyrolysis behaviours of cotton stalk (CS), torrefied cotton stalk (TCS) and mined coal, as single fuels, and their blends, have been examined through thermogravimetric analysis. Biomass has been torrefied at 250°C for 45 min to enhance physicochemical properties, and then mixed with mined coal for co-pyrolysis. Thermal degradat...

Poly(lactic) acid (PLA) is one of the most promising biobased materials, but its inherent flammability limits its applications. A novel flame retardant hexa-(DOPO-hydroxymethylphenoxy-dihydroxybiphenyl)-cyclotriphosphazene (HABP-DOPO) for PLA was prepared by bonding 9,10-dihydro-9-oxy-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO) to cyclotriphosphazene. T...

The influence of reactive processing, non reactive and reactive copolymers on immiscible polypropylene (PP)–polystyrene (PS) blends with varying PS concentrations (10 wt.% and 25 wt.%) was evaluated by mechanical (tensile and tensile impact), rheological (melt flow rate, extensional and dynamic rheology) and morphological (scanning electron microsc...

In the present study, poly(3-hydroxybuturate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and plasticized polylactide acid (PLA) blends were processed by melt extrusion with different weight ratio (up to 20 wt.% of PHBV). Bionanocomposites were obtained through the incorporation of an organomodified montmorillonite (C30B) at 3 wt.%. The main features of the proces...

Cork is a unique material and its by-products are attracting an ever-growing interest for preparing new materials in an attempt to extend the outstanding properties of cork toward innovative and high value applications. Yet, the miscibility of cork particles with thermoplastic matrices is not easy due to its low density and surface properties. Here...

Silk fibroin (SF) and sodium alginate (SA) are natural polymers used to produce biomaterials. One of the strategies to improve the properties of these products is to prepare blends with them, which are partially miscible. Phase separation is observed, therefore, the thermodynamic analysis of this system is important to predict the final state and c...

The starch/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) composite films were prepared using solution casting method after adding MFC into starch/PVA blend matrix. The effects of MFC content on the mechanical properties of starch/PVA composite films were investigated. As MFC content increases, the elongation at break and tensile strength...

More than the sum of its parts ! Moving from binary to ternary blends of active materials in cathode materials for lithium ion batteries provides a versatile design beyond the properties of the individual components. Synergistic effects improve the rate capability, power, thermal, and chemical stability of the blend. Overall advantageous performanc...
