Production of sensitive gas sensors using CuO/SnO2 nanoparticles
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
Metal oxide nanoparticles, such as CuO and SnO2, are outstanding systems for H2S gas sensing in air. In this work, those nanoparticles were deposited with different mixing percentages on substrates to form percolating ...
Simulation-optimization framework for synthesis and design of natural gas downstream utilization networks
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
Many potential diversification and conversion options are available for utilization of natural gas resources, and several design configurations and technology choices exist for conversion of natural gas to value-added ...
Novel electrodeposited Ni-B/Y 2 O 3 composite coatings with improved properties
(
MDPI AG
, 2017 , Article)
Ni-B/Y 2 O 3 composite coatings were developed through an electrodeposition process to study the effect of addition of Y 2 O 3 particles on structure, surface, thermal, mechanical, and anticorrosion properties of Ni-B ...
Bioelectrochemical production of hydrogen in an innovative pressure-retarded osmosis/microbial electrolysis cell system: experiments and modeling
(
BioMed Central
, 2015 , Article)
Background
While microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) can simultaneously produce bioelectrochemical hydrogen and treat wastewater, they consume considerable energy to overcome the unfavorable thermodynamics, which is not ...
Synthesis and properties of polyelectrolyte multilayered microcapsules reinforced smart coatings
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2019 , Article)
The present research work focuses on the synthesis, characterization and properties of novel polyelectrolyte multilayered microcapsules used as smart additives in organic coatings for corrosion protection of steel parts. ...
Recycled polyethylene/paraffin wax/expanded graphite based heat absorbers for thermal energy storage: An artificial aging study
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
An artificial aging study of novel heat absorbers based on phase change materials (PCMs) prepared from recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE), paraffin wax (PW), and expanded graphite (EG) was investigated. The optimal ...
Self-healing performance of multifunctional polymeric smart coatings
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Multifunctional nanocomposite coatings were synthesized by reinforcing a polymeric matrix with halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) loaded with corrosion inhibitor (NaNO3) and urea formaldehyde microcapsules (UFMCs) encapsulated ...
Influence of chitosan addition on resorcinol-formaldehyde xerogel structure
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Gels are usually not environment-friendly due to their difficult biodegradability. Therefore, the addition of chitosan, even in small amounts, will make such gels biodegradable and thus can be useful in many applications ...
Interaction Mechanism Insights on the Solvation of Fullerene B(80)with Choline-based Ionic Liquids
(
American Chemical Society
, 2015 , Article)
Beyond carbon allotropes, other nanostructures such as fullerene B80 are attracting a growing interest due to their potential applications. The use of new materials based on fullerene B80 is still in a premature stage; ...
Impact of sampling technique on the performance of surrogate models generated with artificial neural network (ANN): A case study for a natural gas stabilization unit
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Data-driven models are essential tools for the development of surrogate models that can be used for the design, operation, and optimization of industrial processes. One approach of developing surrogate models is through ...
