Mesoporous silica filled smart super oleophilic fibers of triblock copolymer nanocomposites for oil absorption applications
(
Springer Nature
, 2020 , Article)
Super oleophilic fibers of styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS) block copolymer/mesoporous silica (MS) nanocomposites are fabricated by electrospinning, and their oil absorption efficiency is monitored by following two different ...
Multifunctional Oil Absorption with Macroporous Polystyrene Fibers Incorporating Silver-Doped ZnO
(
American Chemical Society
, 2021 , Article)
Hydrophobic microporous polystyrene (PS) fibers are fabricated by a solvent-induced phase-separation-assisted electrospinning method. Zinc oxide (ZnO) and silver-doped zinc oxide (Ag-ZnO) nanomaterials with variable ...
Protocol for Preparing Synthetic Solutions Mimicking Produced Water from Oil and Gas Operations
(
American Chemical Society
, 2021 , Article)
Produced water (PW) is the water associated with hydrocarbons during the extraction of oil and gas (O&G) from either conventional or unconventional resources. Existing efforts to enhance PW management systems include the ...
Accelerated weathering effects on poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and PHBV/TiO2 nanocomposites
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
The effect of accelerated weathering on poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and PHBV-based nanocomposites with rutile titanium (IV) dioxide (PHBV/TiO2) was investigated. The accelerated weathering test ...
Effects of rutile-TiO2 nanoparticles on accelerated weathering degradation of poly(Lactic Acid)
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
The effect of accelerated weathering on poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and a PLA nanocomposite with rutile titanium (IV) dioxide (rutile-TiO2) was investigated. The accelerated weathering test applied consecutive steps of ultraviolet ...
Influence of accelerated weathering on the physical and structural properties of poly(Lactic-acid)/ poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (pla/phbv) blends
(
BME-PT and GTE
, 2021 , Article)
The paper aims to study the poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) blend properties after their degradation under 2000 h of accelerated weathering conditions following the ASTM D4329 ...
