Propagation rate coefficient for sulfobetaine monomers by PLP-SEC
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Zwitterionic polymers have been extensively used in the biomedical field, however, the knowledge about the kinetics and mechanism of radical polymerization of their monomers is limited. This work introduces the first ...
Corrosion protection of electrospun PVDF-ZnO superhydrophobic coating
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
A one-step electrospinning technique was used to prepare a protective superhydrophobic PVDF–ZnO nanocomposite coating for aluminum against corrosion. The wettability and morphology of the prepared coating surfaces was ...
3D architectures of titania nanotubes and graphene with efficient nanosynergy for supercapacitors
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
One dimensional titanium dioxide nanotubes (titania nanotubes or TNT) are grown on the surface of two dimensional graphene sheets by hydrothermal method so that desirable out of plane properties are obtained in the final ...
An automatic fast optimization of Quadratic Time-frequency Distribution using the hybrid genetic algorithm
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
This paper presents a novel framework for a fully automatic optimization of Quadratic Time-frequency Distributions (QTFDs). This ‘black box’ approach automatically adjusts the QTFD kernel parameters by using a hybrid genetic ...
Cure kinetics of epoxy/MWCNTs nanocomposites: Isothermal calorimetric and rheological analyses
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
A combinatorial route has been applied in cure kinetics study of epoxy nanocomposites containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) based on differential scanning calorimetry and rheokinetic analyses under isothermal ...
Prevalence of microplastics in the marine waters of Qatar
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Microplastics are firmly recognized as a ubiquitous and growing threat to marine biota and their associated marine habitats worldwide. The evidence of the prevalence of microplastics was documented for the first time in ...
Melt processing and properties of linear low density polyethylene-graphene nanoplatelet composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Composites of Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) and Graphene Nanoplatelets (GNPs) were processed using a twin screw extruder under different extrusion conditions. The effects of screw speed, feeder speed and GNP ...
Tailoring optical absorption in silicon nanostructures from UV to visible light: A TDDFT study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The utilization of silicon nanostructures, from quantum dots to nanowires, for photovoltaic applications depends on understanding the effect of their physical structure on their optical absorption properties. In this work, ...
Modeling of dual-metal Schottky contacts based silicon micro and nano wire solar cells
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
We study solar cell properties of single silicon wires connected at their ends to two dissimilar metals of different work functions. Effects of wire dimensions, the work functions of the metals, and minority carrier lifetimes ...
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 ...
