Coal fly ash supported CoFe2O4 nanocomposites: Synergetic Fenton-like and photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Rapid industrialization is causing a serious threat for the environment. Therefore, this research was aimed in developing ceramic cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanocomposite photocatalyst coated with coal fly ash (CFA-CoFe2O4) ... -
A facile energy-efficient approach to prepare super oil-sorbent thin films
( Elsevier Ltd , 2023 , Article)Oil spills on water surface and shoreline have caused significant water pollution, and one of the ways to deal with them is to use oil sorbents. An effective sorbent provides high oil uptake and retention values, high ... -
Free-standing polypropylene porous thin films using energy efficient coating technique
( Elsevier Ltd , 2023 , Article)Amongst various techniques to prepare thin films, spin coating takes less time to make thin films, is less energy-intensive, is easier to use, and provides reproducible results quickly. It is observed that such a user-friendly ... -
Improved self-healing performance of polymeric nanocomposites reinforced with talc nanoparticles (TNPs) and urea-formaldehyde microcapsules (UFMCs)
( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Article)The present work reports the self-healing performance of the epoxy based polymeric nanocomposite coatings containing different concentrations (1 and 3 wt%) of talc nanoparticles (TNPs) modified with sodium nitrate (NaNO3), ... -
Polyolefin-Based Smart Self-Healing Composite Coatings Modified with Calcium Carbonate and Sodium Alginate.
( MDPI , 2024 , Article)Corrosion-related damage incurs significant capital costs in many industries. In this study, an anti-corrosive pigment was synthesized by modifying calcium carbonate with sodium alginate (SA), and smart self-healing coatings ... -
Self-healing performance of smart polymeric coatings modified with tung oil and linalyl acetate
( MDPI AG , 2021 , Article)This work focuses on the synthesis and characterization of polymeric smart self-healing coatings. A comparison of structural, thermal, and self-healing properties of two different polymeric coatings comprising distinct ...
