Foamy phase change materials based on linear low-density polyethylene and paraffin wax blends
(
Springer Nature
, 2018 , Article)
Foamy phase-change materials (FPCMs) based on linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) blended with 30 wt.% of paraffin wax (W) were successfully prepared for the first time. The advantage of these materials is their double ...
Nanoscale studies of the early stages of scale formation in sour environments
(
one petro
, 2018 , Article)
The corrosion of carbon steel in environments containing hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a critical issue to the oil and gas industry. Although considerable research efforts have been carried out, there is not yet a complete ...
Watermarking: A review of software and hardware techniques
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Watermarking is a well-known technique traditionally used in banknotes and other documents to discourage counterfeiting. It usually consists of semi-transparent symbols embedded on paper. Similar concepts were applied to ...
Light-controllable viscoelastic properties of a photolabile carboxybetaine ester-based polymer with mucus and cellulose sulfate
(
Springer Nature
, 2018 , Article)
In this study, the interaction of a photoswitchable carboxybetaine ester-based polymer with mucus and cellulose sulfate was elucidated, showing light-controllable viscoelastic properties. This polymer contains photolabile ...
Advanced antifouling zwitterionic layer based impedimetric HER2 biosensing in human serum: Glycoprofiling as a novel approach for breast cancer diagnostics
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
There are two key novel components presented here behind identification of potential novel breast cancer (BCa) diagnostic approach: 1. application of photoimmobilizable zwitterionic hydrogels resisting non-specific protein ...
Influence of relative humidity on the electrical response of PEDOT:PSS based organic field-effect transistor
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
We have investigated the influence of relative humidity on the electrical response of a bottom gate organic field-effect transistor (OFET) with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(4-styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) as an ...
Indentation and bending behavior of electroless Ni-P-Ti composite coatings on pipeline steel
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Electroless Ni-P coatings have been adopted in many industrial applications due to their excellent wear and corrosion resistance. The unique properties and autocatalytic nature suggest a potential usage as a pipeline inner ...
Template-assisted growth of nanoporous VTTBNc films: Morphology and moisture sensitivity studies
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
A novel structured of nanoporous vanadyl 2,11,20,29-Tetra Tert-Butyl 2,3 Naphthalocyanine (VTTBNc) films were prepared by template-assisted method. The structure and morphology of the fabricated VTTBNc nanostructures were ...
Clogging vs. fouling in immersed membrane bioreactors
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Whilst the fouling of MBR membrane surfaces has been very extensively explored by the academic community, there is an increasingly widespread recognition by practitioners of the issue of clogging of membrane channels with ...
Relationship between Chauffeurs' Demographics, and Knowledge of Traffic Signs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
(
Elsevier B.V.
