Silica aerogels are highly porous solid materials consisting of three-dimensional networks
of silica particles and are typically obtained by removing the liquid in silica gels under …

The mechanism of nanoclay exfoliation was investigated in epoxy−clay nanocomposites
system. The elastic force exerted by cross-linked epoxy molecules inside the clay galleries was …

Centrioles are microtubule (MT)-based cylinders that form centrosomes and can be
modified into basal bodies that template the axoneme, the ciliary MT skeleton. These MT-based …

… In view of this and the results reported by Jana and Jain [9] a study was undertaken in
our laboratory to investigate the use of epoxies as dispersing agents of nanoclay particles in …

… The SMPU was synthesized with crystalline soft segments from PCL diol, as reported earlier
by Cao and Jana [26]. As will be discussed later, true nanocomposites were produced only …

Melt mixing of nanoparticles with high performance polymers is not feasible due to severe
shear heating and formation of particle aggregates. An alternative scheme was investigated in …

The study investigated shape memory properties of nanoclay-tethered polyurethane
nanocomposites. Polyurethanes based on polycaprolactone (PCL) diol, methylene diisocyanate, …
