Sorption of mercury from water by green synthesised silver nanoparticles supported on natural rubber latex/polyvinyl alcohol nanofibre |
Finding a green approach for silver nanoparticle (AgNP) synthesis and as an adsorbent for safe contaminant removal in water has become a challenge. In this study, AgNP were green synthesised into a biopolymer matrix (natural rubber latex/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA/NRL)) via electrospinning. Efficiency of the synthesised nanofibre composites in removing mercury (Hg) from an aqueous solution was examined. SEM and TEM analysis showed that AgNP were more visible on the fibre’s surface at a lower concentration (0.01 M AgNP), whilst at a higher concentration (0.015 M AgNP), relatively more AgNP were found within the fibre. The average sizes of the AgNP were relatively larger (8.15 ± 0.09 nm) in 0. |

A comparative fractographic analysis for the effect of polymeric nanofiber reinforcements on the tensile behavior of multi-layered epoxy nanocomposites
This study presents a comparative investigation into the effects of four different nanofibers—PA66, PStX, PAN, and PVB—on the mechanical performance and failure mechanisms of epoxy adhesive films. These nanofiber‐reinforced adhesive layers were manufactured via a dry‐reinforcement resin film infusion method and tested under uniaxial tensile loading. Mechanical results showed that PA66 and PStX nanofibers improved tensile strength by up to 25%, primarily by mitigating crack initiation at free edges and promoting effective fiber–matrix bonding. In contrast, PAN nanofibers induced micro‐cracks at the fiber–resin interface, amplifying crack coalescence and reducing strength by 25%. 03/01/2025
