  • Graphene-$BiOCl/Fe_3O_4$ nanocomposites were synthesized from $BiOCl/Fe_3O_4$ and graphene in an electric furnace operating at $700^{\circ}C$ for 12 h. The nanocomposite surface morphology and crystal structure were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The produced graphene-$BiOCl/Fe_3O_4$ nanocomposites acted as efficient heterogeneous photocatalysts for the degradation of organic dyes, as confirmed by UV-vis spectrophotometry.

  • Bacteria have been considered as a major foulant that initiates the formation of biofilm on the polymeric membrane surface. Some polymeric membranes are naturally antibacterial and have low fouling properties, however, numerous efforts have been devoted to improve their antibacterial performance. These modifications are mostly carried out through blending the membrane with an antibacterial agent or introducing the antibacterial agent on the membrane surface by chemical grafting. Currently, a significant number of researches have reported nanocomposite membrane as a new approach to fabricate an excellent antibacterial membrane. The antibacterial nanoparticles are dispersed homogenously in membrane structure by blending method or coating onto the membrane surface. Aim of the modifications is to prevent the initial attachment of bacteria to membrane surface and kill bacteria when attached on the membrane surface. In this paper, several studies on antibacterial modified membranes, particularly for water treatment, will be reviewed comprehensively. Special attention will be given on polymeric membrane modifications by introducing antibacterial agents through different methods, such as blending, grafting, and coating.

  • In the present research, dynamic analysis of functionally graded (FG) graphene-reinforced beams under thermal loading has been carried out based on finite element approach. The presented formulation is based on a higher order refined beam element accounting for shear deformations. The graphene-reinforced beam is exposed to transverse periodic mechanical loading. Graphene platelets have three types of dispersion within the structure including uniform-type, linear-type and nonlinear-type. Convergences and validation studies of derived results from finite element approach are also presented. This research shows that the resonance behavior of a nanocomposite beam can be controlled by the GPL content and dispersions. Therefore, it is showed that the dynamical deflections are notably influenced by GPL weight fractions, types of GPL distributions, temperature changes, elastic foundation and harmonic load excitation frequency.

  • ABS/MWNT nanocomposites were prepared by using MWNT wrapped with SAN through melt compounding. Effect of wrapping of MWNT by SAN on the morphology, mechanical and electrical properties of ABS/MWNT were analyzed. It was found that SAN could wrap MWNT effectively indicated by the increased thickness after wrapping, which is presumably due to helical structure of polyacrylonitrile component in a block copolymer of SAN. MWNT was observed to be dispersed more evenly in ABS matrix by SAN wrapping, which resulted in improved tensile properties of the composites. On the other hand, there was little effect on the impact strength and electrical properties of ABS having inherently high impact strength.

  • Organically modifidied montmorillonites were synthesized from sodium montmorillonite and alkylammonium halids (stearyltrimethyl bromide and cetyltrimethyl bromide) by solid-solid reaction. The structure of the products by solid-solid reactions was similar to that observed in a conventional solution method.

  • Olefinic compatibilized blend(R-PP/R-PE)/layered silicate composites have been prepared by melt intercalation technique directed from $Na^{+}$ montmorillonite(MMT) or organophilic montmorillonites while using magnesium hydroxide as flame retardant. Morphology and flammability properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), thermogravimetry analysis(TGA), limiting oxygen index(LOI), UL94 test. It is found that the compatibilized blend/layered silicate(Cloisite 20A) nanocomposites have a mixed immiscible-intercalated structure and there is better intercalation when a compatibilizer is combined with the polymer and layered silicate to be melt blended. A very large increase in the LOI value was observed with hybrid filler addition and further enhancement in thermal stability and compatibility of blend was obtained for the compatibilized blend containing small amount of layered silicate.

  • Plastic deformation was observed by TEM around the intragranular SiC particles in the $Al_2O_3$ matrix for $Al_2O_3/SiC$ nanocomposite system. The dislocations are generated at selected planes and there is a tendency for the dislocations to form a subgrain boundary structure with low-angel grain boundaries and networks. In this study, dislocation generated in the $Al_2O_3$ matrix during cooling down from sintering temperatures by the highly localized thermal stresses within and/or around SiC particles caused from the thermal expansion mismatch between $Al_2O_3$ matrix and SiC particle was observed. In monolithic $Al_2O_3$ and $Al_2O_3/SiC$ microcomposite system. These phenomena is closely related to the plastic relaxation of the elastic stress and strain energy associated with both thermal misfitting inclusions and creep behaviors. The plastic relaxation behavior was explained by combination of yield stress and internal stress.

  • In the present work, the influence of the ball-milling time, milling atmosphere and weight ratio of ball to powder on characteristics of $WO_3-CuO$ was studied. Results show that, the grain sizes of the $WO_3$ and CuO in the ball-milled powder mixture were significantly decreased with increasing the milling time. Those of each oxide ball-milled in Argon and Hexane atmosphere for 30 and 20 hour were about 98 and 84 nm, respectively. After milling of 20 hour in Hexane as PCA, the powder had a homogeneously mixed structure and the average size of $WO_3-CuO$ powders was determined to about 230nm.
