Estimation of the surface free energy of polymers

D.K. Owens, R. C. Wendt · 1 Aug 1969

Abstract A method for measuring the surface energy of solids and for resolving the surface energy into contributions from dispersion and dipole‐hydrogen bonding forces has been developed. It is based on the measurement of contact angles with water and methylene iodide. Good agreement has been obtained with the more laborious γ c method. Evidence for…

Novel hydrophilic chitosan-polyethylene oxide nanoparticles as protein carriers

Pilar Calvo, C. Remu��n-L�pez, J. L. Vila-Jato et al. · 3 Jan 1997

Hydrophilic nanoparticulate carriers have important potential applications for the administration of therapeutic molecules. The recently developed hydrophobic-hydrophilic carriers require the use of organic solvents for their preparation and have a limited protein-loading capacity. To address these limitations a new approach for the preparation of nanoparticles made solely of hydrophilic polymers is presented. The preparation technique,…

Electrospinning of nanofibers

Thandavamoorthy Subbiah, Gajanan Bhat, Richard W. Tock et al. · 15 Feb 2005

Abstract Nanotechnology is the study and development of materials at nano levels. It is one of the rapidly growing scientific disciplines due to its enormous potential in creating novel materials that have advanced applications. This technology has tremendously impacted many different science and engineering disciplines, such as electronics, materials science, and polymer engineering. Nanofibers, due…

Chemical modification of hemp, sisal, jute, and kapok fibers by alkalization

L. Y. Mwaikambo, Martin P. Ansell · 19 Mar 2002

Abstract Plant fibers are rich in cellulose and they are a cheap, easily renewable source of fibers with the potential for polymer reinforcement. The presence of surface impurities and the large amount of hydroxyl groups make plant fibers less attractive for reinforcement of polymeric materials. Hemp, sisal, jute, and kapok fibers were subjected to alkalization…

Kinetic analysis of thermogravimetric data

C. D. Doyle · 1 May 1961

Thermogravimetric data are generally more extensive than are comparable isothermal aging data, and therefore afford preliminary kinetic information in greater abundance. The kinetic analysis of the thermogram, by use of either its exact equation or a more convenient approximation formula, is straightforward in cases of volatilization via simple kinetics. Application of the analytical procedure to…
