    Synthesis and Characterization of Certain Biodegradable Chitosan/Lactic Acid-based Polyester Blend Films

    By Jaisankar V, T. Tamizharuvi, R. Indira

    Abstract: AbstractBiodegradable blend films based on chitosan with poly(ethylene glycol lactate-co-ethylene glycol terephthalate), PEGLT and poly(butylene lactate-co-butylene succinate), PBLSA, were prepared by solution-mixing and film-casting method. The main objective of this investigation was the study and characterization of chitosan/lactic acid-based polyester blends which are useful as bio-packaging material for potential food applications. The first part of the investigation was related to the synthesis and characterization of polyesters, PEGLT and PBLSA by …

    Ionic Conductivity of Chain Extension Supramolecular Polymer Material based on Reactive Hydrogen Bonding Motif

    By Jaisankar V, Rajendran T V, Sivakumar EKT

    Abstract: AbstractSelf-assembly of low molecular weight oligomers possessing good mechanical properties at room temperature and having a low melt viscosity at elevated temperatures are of interest for many applications, such as hot melts and thermoplastic elastomers. Association between end groups can be based on a variety of secondary interactions, such as Vander Waals, hydrophobic, ionic interactions, or hydrogen bonding. A low molecular weight poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) was functionalized with 2-Ureido-4[1H] …

    A Study on the Effect of Ionic Conductivity on Addition of Salt for Polymer Nanocomposite Gel Electrolyte for Solar Cell Applications

    By Jaisankar V, Suganya N, Hari Hara Priya G

    Abstract: AbstractDye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) have attracted greater attention in the recent years because of their relatively high energy conversion efficiency and low cost. In the DSSCs, the electrolytes play a vital role in the determination of the efficiency and long term stability. In this investigation, we report on the synthesis, characterization and conductivity study of polymer nanocomposite gel electrolyte. Cadmium oxide nanoparticles were added into polymer blend of poly …
