Synergistic effect between hybrid nanoparticles of TiO2 and Nb2O5 in the nanostructured materials based on eva matrix

The effect of TiO2/Nb2O5 hybrid nanoparticles added to a poly (ethylene co acetate) (EVA) matrix with 28% vinyl content was evaluated, aiming to shed light on the mechanisms with which oxides, when added as hybrid nanoparticles, can modify specific properties of a polymer matrix. The nanostructured EVA/TiO2/Nb2O5 films, containing different proportions of TiO2/Nb2O5 in the range between 0.25 1% referred to total EVA mass, were prepared by the...
