Effect of halloysite nano tubes on the thermal degradation behaviour of PCL/PLA microfibrillar composites
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
This paper reports on the thermal degradation behaviour and kinetics of halloysite nanotubes containing microfibrillated poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) blends. It was found that the nanotubes probably ...
Thermal and mechanical properties of PP/HDPE/wood powder and MAPP/HDPE/wood powder polymer blend composites.
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
The morphology and properties of blends of PP/HDPE and MAPP/HDPE blends, and their composites with wood
powder, were investigated in this paper. The blends showed two-phase morphologies, and MAPP interacted
better than ...
Biotransformation of carbon dioxide in bioelectrochemical systems: State of the art and future prospects
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) utilization/recycling for the production of chemicals and gaseous/liquid energy-carriers is a way to moderate the rising CO2 in the atmosphere. One of the possible solutions for the CO2 sequestration ...
Baseline concentrations and distributions of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in surface sediments from the Qatar marine environment
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Coastal sediments in marine waters of Qatar have the potential of being contaminated by Polycyclic Aromatic
Hydrocarbons (PAHs) due to extensive petroleum exploration and transportation activities within Qatar's ...

CO2 Reduction to Renewable Hydrocarbon Fuel - Mimicking Natural Photosynthesis
(
Springer Nature
, 2017 , Article)
We report on a wide-range Density Functional Theory (DFT) investigation of the g-C3N4 photocatalysis systems combined with metals/nonmetals, especially those available in plants and involved in the natural photosynthesis ...
Fully softened shear strength for soil slope stability analyses
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2017 , Article)
The fully softened shear strengths of soils, mudstones, and shales of different plasticities and gradations were measured at low (10 and 25 kPa), intermediate (50 and 100 kPa), and high (200, 300, and 400 kPa) effective ...
