Journal ArticleDOI
A critical appraisal of polymer-clay nanocomposites.
Biqiong Chen,Julian R. G. Evans,H. Christopher Greenwell,Pascal Boulet,Peter V. Coveney,Allen Bowden,Andrew Whiting +6 more
TL;DR: This critical review attempts to assess issues from the viewpoint of traditional composites thereby embedding these new materials in a wider context to which conventional composite theory can be applied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pro-inflammatory effects of e-cigarette vapour condensate on human alveolar macrophages.
Aaron Scott,Sebastian T Lugg,Kerrie Aldridge,Keir Lewis,Allen Bowden,Rahul Y Mahida,Frances Grudzinska,Davinder Dosanjh,Dhruv Parekh,Robert F. Foronjy,Elizabeth Sapey,Babu Naidu,David R Thickett +12 more
TL;DR: ECVC is significantly more toxic to AMs than non-vaped ECL and inhibition of phagocytosis suggests users may suffer from impaired bacterial clearance, and is cautioned against the widely held opinion that e-cigarettes are safe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interlayer Structure and Bonding in Nonswelling Primary Amine Intercalated Clays
H. Chris Greenwell,Matthew J. Harvey,Pascal Boulet,Allen Bowden,Peter V. Coveney,Andrew Whiting +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the arrangement and interactions of amine species in the interlayer region are investigated through analysis by both experimental methods and computer simulation, which gives insight into coordination mechanisms within the organoclay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combined experimental and theoretical investigations of clay–polymer nanocomposites: intercalation of single bifunctional organic compounds in Na+-montmorillonite and Na+-hectorite clays for the design of new materials
TL;DR: In this article, the intercalation of single bifunctional poly(ethylene oxide)- and poly(propylene oxide)-based compounds, with and without modified end groups, in Na+-montmorillonite and Na+hectorite clays as the starting point for the design of new non-exfoliated clay polymer materials was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intercalation and in situ polymerization of poly(alkylene oxide) derivatives within M+-montmorillonite (M = Li, Na, K)
H. Chris Greenwell,Allen Bowden,Biqiong Chen,Pascal Boulet,Julian R. G. Evans,Peter V. Coveney,Andrew Whiting +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a range of montmorillonite-based clay-polymer nanocomposites were synthesized by intercalation of a variety of functionalized molecules having poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(propylene oxide) backbones from aqueous solution using a facile batch process.
