Effective structure regulation of poly(vinylidene fluoride) via soy protein isolate: A morphological study
Zheng, Zhuoyuan; Cox, McCord; Li, Bin (Wiley, 2018-10-10)The microstructures of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/soy protein isolate (SPI) films were successfully modulated via denatured SPIs. While vegetable proteins have been extensively researched as functional biomaterials ... -
Effects of plant protein based modifiers on structures and ferroelectric properties of dielectric films
Zheng, Zhuoyuan (Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)Plant proteins, as renewable and cost-effective natural resources, have gain increasing interests in non-food applications. In particular, with increasing environmental concerns of petro-polymers, biomass as substitution ... -
Enhancement of discharged energy density of poly(ethylene oxide) by soy protein isolate
Rashidi, Soheil; Zheng, Zhuoyuan; Li, Bin (Wiley, 2017-09-10)Soy protein isolate (SPI) is used to modify energy storage performances of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). The pure PEO membranes are highly polar, but the extremely high energy loss led to very low discharged energy density ... -
Modified dielectric properties of poly(vinylidene fluoride) via 2S fraction of soy protein
Zheng, Zhuoyuan; Li, Bin (John Wiley and Sons, 2018-12-20)Soy protein, as a naturally available resource, has been widely studied as a functional material. Major 7S and 11S fractions of soy protein have drawn the most attention. In contrast, the 2S fraction, a component with low ... -
Structures and dielectric properties of soy protein modified poly(vinylidene fluoride) films
Zheng, Zhuoyuan; Li, Bin (Society of Plastics Engineers, 2018-05)The significance of protein aggregation has been extensively studied in biomedical and food research. While biomaterials, such as soy protein, as green material alternatives, have gained enormous attentions in various ... -
Study of denaturation and composition-dependent poly(ethylene oxide)-soy protein interactions: Structures and dielectric polarization
Zheng, Zhuoyuan; Ma, Daowei; Rashidi, Soheil; Li, Bin (Wiley, 2018-08-15)The significance of aggregated protein structures in tuning structures and dielectric polarization of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)/soy protein isolate (SPI) films was studied. The aggregated protein structures, subjected to ... -
Study of soy protein as a functional modifier for polymer materials
Zheng, Zhuoyuan (Wichita State University, 2018-05)The significance of protein aggregation has been extensively studied in biomedical and food research. While biomaterials derived from plant proteins, such as soy protein, as green material alternatives, have gained enormous ... -
Surface modification of hexagonal boron nitride nanomaterials: a review
Zheng, Zhuoyuan; Cox, McCord; Li, Bin (Springer US, 2018-01)Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanomaterials, such as boron nitride nanotubes, boron nitride nanofibers, and boron nitride nanosheets, are among the most promising inorganic nanomaterials in recent years. Their unique ...
