Purification of emulsified oily polluted waters with modified melamine foams
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Oil and gas industry operations produce tremendous amounts of wastewater (produced water; PW). Tertiary treatment of the PW in the final treatment stage is challenging due to the presence of colloids with sizes < 500 nm ...
Phase change materials designed from Tetra Pak waste and paraffin wax as unique thermal energy storage systems
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Thermal energy storage systems (TES) based on shape-stabilized phase change materials (SSPCM) designed from recycled Tetra Pak (TP) waste, paraffin wax (PW), and expanded graphite (EG) were investigated in this study. This ...
Highly conductive phase change composites based on paraffin-infiltrated graphite panels for photo/electrothermal conversion and storage
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
The extensive utilization of phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy harvesting, storage, and thermal management is often constrained by their inadequate thermal and electrical conductivity, form instability, and ...
Date Palm Cellulose Nanocrystals (CNCs)/Polyamide Composites: Tailoring Morphological, Mechanical, and Thermal Properties
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
In the present study, polyamide (PA) was successfully reinforced with cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) prepared from date palm leaves using two different techniques, electrospinning and the solution casting method, and a ...
An Enhancement of Compositional Stability of Phase Change Materials by Lamination with Aluminum Sheet
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
The wax leakage from shape-stabilized phase change materials (SSPCMs) is a limitation because it reduces their functionality. In this work, an enhancement of the compositional stability of SSPCMs formed by high-density ...
Evaluation of photothermal conversion performance of shape-stabilized phase change materials using a heat flux evolution curve
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Phase change materials are promising alternatives for solar energy harvesting by photothermal conversion and thermal energy storage. In this work, a shape-stabilized phase change material (PCM) was prepared by hot-melt ...
An Adhesion Improvement of Low-Density Polyethylene to Aluminum through Modification with Functionalized Polymers
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
An interfacial adhesion improvement between low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and aluminum (Al) foil is an important challenge in designing multilayered packaging (TetraPak packaging type) due to insufficient inherent adhesion ...
A carbon dot-based clay nanocomposite for efficient heavy metal removal
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2023 , Article)
Carbon dots and their derivatives with fascinating photoluminescence properties have recently attracted tremendous scientific attention. This work describes the preparation of novel fluorescent bentonite clay (B), modified ...
Complex treatment of oily polluted waters by modified melamine foams: from colloidal emulsions to a free oil removal
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2023 , Article)
This study deals with the efficient, low-cost, and scalable treatment of oily polluted waters including colloidal emulsions, oil-in-water mixtures, and free oil removal using melamine foams (MFs) modified by ferric chloride ...
Impact of the Processing-Induced Orientation of Hexagonal Boron Nitride and Graphite on the Thermal Conductivity of Polyethylene Composites
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
Emergent heat transfer and thermal management applications require polymer composites with enhanced thermal conductivity (κ). Composites filled with non-spherical fillers, such as hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and Graphite ...
