Structure-Property Correlation in PTT/PP Blends with Improved Mechanical Performance
Abstract: The present work investigates a series of poly (trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT)/polypropylene (PP) blends prepared with varying PP concentrations in order to improve the overall performance of PTT, particularly with respect to mechanical properties and processability. PTT is a promising engineering thermoplastic owing to its balanced stiffness, resilience, and chemical resistance; however, its relatively high cost and processing limitations often restrict its wider application. In this context, blending with PP offers …

Structural, Optical, Surface, and Gas-Sensing Properties of rGO/Sn1–xZnxO₂ Nanocomposites
Abstract: rGO/Sn₁–ₓZnₓO₂ nanocomposites with x = 0.00–0.75 were synthesized by sol–gel auto-combustion followed by wet impregnation with reduced graphene oxide. The adopted synthesis route enabled homogeneous Zn incorporation into the SnO₂ matrix and uniform distribution of rGO, leading to improved structural integrity and interfacial contact between the two components. XRD confirmed a dominant tetragonal cassiterite SnO₂ structure, while FTIR, FESEM, EDS, UV–visible, and BET analyses verified oxide–rGO coupling, Zn-dependent structural modification, …
