Effect of PEG functionalized carbon nanotubes on the enhancement of thermal and physical properties of nanofluids
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
In this study, pristine carbon nanotubes and polyethylene glycol functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNT-PEG) have been used to enhance the heat capacity, viscosity, thermal conductivity, heat transfer rate and pressure drop ...
Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity of a Molybdate-Intercalated Iron-Based Layered Double Hydroxide
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
Herein, we report the design and successful fabrication of new Mg/Fe layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with different Mg/Fe molar ratios (2:1, 3:1, and 4:1) by a coprecipitation method. The prepared Mg/Fe (4:1) LDH sample ...
Synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles to enhance polysulfone ultrafiltration membrane performance for salt rejection
(
Italian Association of Chemical Engineering - AIDIC
, 2017 , Article)
The main target of membrane technologies is to provide better filtration and separation of organic and inorganic substance from water as well as for longer life of the membrane. Iron oxide (α-Fe2O3) nanoparticles (NPs) ...

This declaration, signed by an interdisciplinary task force of 234 experts from 83 different countries with different backgrounds, highlights the threat posed by antimicrobial resistance and the need for appropriate use ...
Drug release kinetics from a drug-eluting stent with asymmetrical coat
(
IMR Press Limited
, 2017 , Article)
The aim of this study was to investigate the drug release profiles of biodegradable polymer sirolimus- or paclitaxel-eluting stents with asymmetrical coating (BPSES-A or BPPES-A) both in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, the ...
Molecular analysis of the enteric protozoa associated with acute diarrhea in hospitalized children
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2017 , Article)
Pediatric diarrhea is a common cause of death among children under 5 years of age. In the current study, we investigated the frequency of intestinal parasites among 580 pediatric patients with chronic diarrhea. Parasitic ...

The need for coatings with improved operation is vital to insure safety and high output of industrial plants. Electrodeposition is a valuable surface modification technology that can be used to develop various kinds of ...
Experimental prediction of the elastic properties of nanocomposite cementitious materials based on nanoindentation measurements
(
American Scientific Publishers
, 2017 , Article)
This paper provides in depth novel exploration of the local mechanical properties of nanocomposite cement using the nanoindentation technique. The elastic properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-reinforced and unreinforced ...
Sulfide Scaling and Corrosion of Carbon Steel in a Sour Medium
(
The Electrochemical Society
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The damage caused by the building up of scale inside wellbores and pipelines costs millions of pounds each year. A better understanding of scale formation and the kinetic nature of the process is essential, for asset ...
