Abstract In this research, iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by chemical co‐precipitation method. The surface of particles was grafted with β‐cyclodextrin/N,N‐dimethylacrylamide (β‐CD/DMAA) copolymer. Potency of NPs as carrier of antibiotic ofloxacin (OFL) was evaluated. They were characterized by scanning electron microscopy,...

Abstract The contamination of arsenic (As3+) cation in drinking water is one of the most well‐known sources for human arsenic poison. Due to its high toxicity to human, there is a need to develop an efficient and low‐cost method to detect it in aquatic environment. A sensor of nitrated polyethersulfone (PES‐NO2) doped with ZnYNiO nanocomposites was...

Abstract Poly (acrylic acid‐co‐acrylamide)/graphite oxide (P (AA‐co‐AM)/GO) superabsorbent composite was prepared by solution intercalation polymerization of acrylic acid (AA), acrylamide (AM), and graphite oxide (GO). The composite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, powder X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy,...

Abstract Tests have been conducted to investigate the influence of temperature, stress, and crazing for polyethylene methacrylate (PMMA) creep life. Creep life decreases with stress in a logarithmic relation, and rupture strains increase with decreasing stress. To assess the creep life of PMMA, the Larson–Miller parameter is first introduced to correlate...

Abstract The present work deals with the reinforcement and the resulting property enhancement of polyindole (PIN)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) blend using zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) nanoparticles. The polymer blend nanocomposite samples have been prepared using a simple in situ polymerization method. The structural changes in the polymer blend resulting from...
