Self-assembling polymer/clay nanocomposites applied to fruit for shelf life extension
Maedeh Dabbaghianamiri, Carlos Corona, G. W. Beall; Materials Science, Engineering, and Commercialization Program, Texas State University
In previous work Texas State University team members discovered a self-assembling nanocomposite formed between polyvinylpyrrolidone and montmorillonite clay that exhibits high gas barrier properties. This self assembling phenomena has been extended to other polymers including polyvinyl al

Using Iron with Oxide Nanosheets to Enhance Electrochemical Lithium-Ion Charge Storage
Niu, S.; McFeron, R.; Godínez-Salomón, F.; Chapman, B.S.; Damin, C.A.; Tracy, J.B.; Augustyn, V.; Rhodes, C.P. Enhanced Electrochemical Lithium-Ion Charge Storage of Iron Oxide Nanosheets, Chemistry of Materials, 2017, 29, 7794-7807
Research at Texas State University (MSI) and MSREC partner NC State demonstrated that iron oxide (g-Fe2O3) could be synthesized as a nanosheet architecture which resulted in significantly higher Li-ion capacities than nanoparticles; this work can provide enhanced cathodes for lower cost Li
