Kinetic studies of POSS–DGEBA precursors derived from monoamine functional POSS using dynamic dielectric sensing and nuclear magnetic resonance
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
Incorporation of pre‐reacted monofunctional polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)–epoxy adducts dramatically improves dispersion of POSS in epoxy–amine networks. The relationship between reaction kinetics and mechanism ...
Effect of reinforcement concentration on the properties of hot extruded Al-Al2O3 composites synthesized through microwave sintering process
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
In this study, Aluminum matrix composite reinforced with 5, 10 and 15 vol% Al2O3 particles were fabricated using microwave assisted rapid sintering technique followed by hot extrusion. The effect of concentration of Al2O3 ...
Effect of microwave sintering on the crystal domain and electrical properties of TiO2 nanoparticles
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2017 , Article)
We report the effect of microwaves sintering on the crystal domain and electrical properties of TiO2 nanoparticles. Commercially available TiO2 nanoparticles of 25 nm size were coated on ITO (indium tin oxide) substrates, ...
Thermochemical Upgrading of Calcium Bentonite for Drilling Fluid Applications
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2019 , Article)
The rheological properties of bentonite suspensions depend on the chemical composition and the contained dominant element, such as calcium (Ca), potassium (K), and sodium (Na). Na-bentonite type is the one used in drilling ...
High-Rate Anaerobic Digestion of Waste Activated Sludge by Integration of Electro-Fenton Process
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Anaerobic digestion (AD), being the most effective treatment method of waste activated sludge (WAS), allows for safe disposal. The present study deals with the electro-Fenton (EF) pretreatment for enhancing the WAS biogas ...
Effective NiMn nanoparticles-functionalized carbon felt as an effective anode for direct urea fuel cells
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
The internal resistances of fuel cells strongly affect the generated power. Basically, in the fuel cell, the anode can be prepared by deposition of a film from the functional electrocatalyst on a proper gas diffusion layer. ...
Water and carbon footprint reduction potential of renewable energy in the United States: A policy analysis using system dynamics
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
Renewable energy has gained popularity as an alternative to fossil fuels, which regularly emit large amounts of Greenhouse Gases and consume/withdraw large amounts of water, but renewable energy market penetration is still ...
Surface engineering of the PLA films for fabricating dexterous humidity sensors
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2018 , Article)
This study presents the surface engineering of the thin films of a biodegradable polymer, poly lactic acid (PLA), for its application in moisture/humidity sensors. The PLA films were deposited on the comb-like pre-patterned ...
Production and characterization of B-glucosidase from Aspergillus niger fermentation: Application for organic fraction of municipal solid waste hydrolysis and methane enhancement. Biotechnology Progress
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
The anaerobic digestion of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) is
currently an attractive treatment process with energy production in the form of bio-
gas. Hydrolysis is the rate-limiting step for the ...
Life cycle sustainability assessment of autonomous heavy-duty trucks
(
Wiley
, 2020 , Article)
Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) are emerging technologies expected to bring important environmental, social, and economic improvements in transportation systems. Given their implications in terms of air quality and ...
