The results are compared with pristine N-MWNT conlyining only Co nanoparticles encapsulated in their cores.
Oxidative stabilities of these composite membranes are compared with pristine SPEEK membrane.
GS-loaded multilayer films-coated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) were compared with pristine PDMS in the rabbit subcutaneous S. aureus infection model.
DMFC performance of these membranes is evaluated and the results are compared with pristine SPEEK and Nafion-117 membranes.
Corrosion protection of coatings with microcapsules containing linseed oil, corrosion inhibitor, and drier was compared with pristine coating free from microcapsules.
Thermal properties of the graphene-PMMA nanocomposites were compared with pristine PMMA by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and TGA. Figure 3 shows the DSC and TGA results for pristine PMMA and graphene-PMMA nanocomposite (GP-5) samples.
The sandwich plates are assumed resting on Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation and the nanocomposite is reinforced by three types of defected carbon nanotubes (CNTs) which are compared with pristine CNT-reinforced nanocomposite.
The photocatalytic performance of the resulting hybrid materials was compared with pristine supports using phenol and methylene blue (MB) under two different irradiation conditions (UV vis and Vis only light).
The horizontal shear test was performed and the results were compared with the pristine bars.
The total energy storage rate for the activated composite samples was compared with the pristine sample for the same heating duration and an enhancement of more than 18% was observed for the two activated samples.
