Exfoliating montmorillonite (Mt) to nanolayers is a crucial step during producing clay/polymer
nanocomposites (CPN). Only well-exfoliated and well-dispersed Mt. nanolayers in the …

The usage and application of agricultural biomass products in development of polymer
nanocomposites is increasing due to the demand for green materials, depletion of natural …

Polymers and biopolymers are continuously subjected to the action of different stress factors,
such as oxygen, heat, UV light, mechanical stress, humidity, etc., during their processing and …

Herein, the synthesis of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) modified aliphatic waterborne polyurethane
(AWP)-based coatings via the sol-gel method. The investigation aims to determine the …

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage techniques are required to address concerns
related to global warming resulting from the rising atmospheric CO 2 concentration …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different anti-ageing compounds
(AACs) on the oxidative stability, rheological and mechanical properties of bitumen. Modified …

A novel polyhedral oligomeric sesquisiloxane (POSS) antioxidant based on amide-linked
hindered phenols (HPAm-POSS) was successfully synthesized via a nucleophilic …

In this study, a novel hindered phenol antioxidant with thioether and carboxy groups
(GMMP) and its samarium complex (Sm-GMMP) were employed as an interfacial modifier for …

Bitumen in asphalt pavements reacts slowly with atmospheric oxygen, resulting in oxidative
ageing. This oxidative reaction is strongly dependent on the physical diffusion of the oxygen …

To explore antioxidants with high anti-aging efficiency and admirable anti-extraction ability,
a novel organic-inorganic hindered phenol antioxidant (AO-POSS) derived from polyhedral …
