TL;DR: In this paper , a comprehensive critical review on all light-driven synthetic polymer actuators, their actuating mechanisms, and materials is presented, together with an insight into future applications of these exciting functional materials.
Enhanced Thermal and Electrical Properties of Polystyrene-Graphene Nanofibers via Electrospinning
TL;DR: In this paper, GNP modified polystyrene nanofibers showed a 6-fold increase in the thermal conductivity and an increase of 7-8 orders of magnitude in electrical conductivity.
The synergistic performance of multiwalled carbon nanotubes and sepiolite nanoclays as flame retardants for unsaturated polyester
TL;DR: In this paper, the synergistic effect on the thermal decomposition and heat release rate (HRR) of unsaturated polyester (UP) resin blended with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and sepiolite nanoclay was investigated using thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), pyrolysis combustion flow calorimetery (PCFC), and the cone calorimeter.
