Unprecedented Influence of Carbon Dot@TiO₂ Nanohybrid on Multifaceted Attributes of Waterborne Hyperbranched Polyester Nanocomposite.

ABSTRACT: Herein, we wish to report fabrication of multifaceted environmentally friendly benign renewable resource-based waterborne hyperbranched polyester nanocomposites using three different doses of carbon dot@TiO₂ nanohybrid through a facile in situ polymerization technique in the absence of solvent or additional catalyst. Carbon dot@TiO₂ nanohybrid was prepared through a greener one-pot hydrothermal process from bio-based raw materials. The nanocomposites were characterized by different instrumental techniques. The thermosets of these nanocomposites are obtained by curing them with glycerol-based hyperbranched epoxy and fatty acid-based poly(amido amine). Enhancements of 6.67 folds tensile strength, 3.8 folds toughness, 1.7 folds Young's modulus, >2.5 units gloss, and 46 °
