In this study, novel nanowebs provided with thermal buffering properties were developed via coaxial electro-spinning. Environmental friendly and nontoxic dialkyl and dialkenyl carbonates (DACs), namely, didecyl carbonate, ...

New thermal energy storage materials were developed as poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN) nanofibers with encapsulated phase change materials (PCMs). Sixteen samples composed of PAN shells and PEG or PEGME cores, and one control ...

This study presents the modification of surfaces of nanoclays, halloysite nanotubes (HNT) and sepiolite (SEP), with styrene-maleic anhydride copolymers (SMA) via esterification reaction between hydroxyl groups of the ...

In this study, the melt blending method was used to prepare the polystyrene/halloysite nanotubes (PS/HNTs) nanocomposites instead of in-situ bulk polymerization of styrene monomer in the presence of HNTs. Surface modification ...

Magnetic hyperthermia has been arising as a promising approach for treatment of cancer. When magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are locally injected through cancerous tissues and subjected to an appropriate alternating magnetic ...

Production of shell/core structured nanowebs were performed via Yflow® coaxial electrospinning device. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) was chosen as a shell material considering its good thermal properties as well as suitability ...

In the present work, we produced bicomponent nanofibers, composed of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) shells and PEG cores (PEG2000 and PEG4000), by co-axial electrospinning as new thermal energy storage materials that are suitable ...
