Comparative Effects of MMT Clay Modified with Two Different Cationic Surfactants on the Thermal and Rheological Properties of Polypropylene Nanocomposites by Meshal Al-Samhan, Jacob Samuel, Fatema Al-Attar, Gils Abraham

“…The crystallinity analysis showed that crystallization improved in all nanocomposites irrespective of surface modification; the thermogravimetric analysis showed that the imidazolium modified polymer composites are more thermally stable than conventional ammonium modified composites. The Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) analyses indicated that the PP-IMMT composites displayed exfoliated morphologies compared with the intercalated structure in PP-AMMT, and the rheological analysis at 180°C showed an enhancement in the viscoelastic properties as the clay concentration increases. …”

Freestanding VO2 membranes on epidermal nanomesh for ultra-sensitive correlated breathable sensors by Dongha Kim, Dongju Lee, Jiseok Park, Jihoon Bae, Aiping Chen, Judith L. MacManus-Driscoll, Sungwon Lee, Shinbuhm Lee

“…The stimuli modulate the Peierls dimerization of one-dimensional V−V chains in the VO2 lattice which concomitantly controls the electron correlation and hence resistivity. Since our breathable sensors operate based on quantum-mechanical correlation effects, their sensitivity is 1−2 orders of magnitude higher than conventional tactile and respiratory sensors based on other materials. …”
