Piezoresponse, mechanical, and electrical characteristics of synthetic spider silk nanofibers
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
This work presents electrospun nanofibers from synthetic spider silk protein, and their application as both a mechanical vibration and humidity sensor. Spider silk solution was synthesized from minor ampullate silk protein ...
Eco-friendly foam biocomposites based on cellulose extracted from date palm leaves and low-density polyethylene
(
Web Portal IOP
, 2020 , Article)
The design of composite materials using environmentally compatible materials and adopting sustainable preparation techniques is very necessary for a better environment. The present study is a step towards developing an ...
The separation of emulsified water/oil mixtures through adsorption on plasma-treated polyethylene powder
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
This paper addresses the preparation and characterization of efficient adsorbents for tertiary treatment (oil content below 100 ppm) of oil/water emulsions. Powdered low-density polyethylene (LDPE) was modified by ...
Some theoretical aspects of tertiary treatment of water/oil emulsions by adsorption and coalescence mechanisms: A review
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article Review)
The massive increase in the volumes of oily contaminated produced waters associated with various industrial sectors has initiated considerable technological and scientific efforts related to the development of new cleaning ...
Materials and technologies for the tertiary treatment of produced water contaminated by oil impurities through nonfibrous deep-bed media: A review
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
This review covers various aspects of the treatment of emulsified oil/water mixtures and is particularly focused on tertiary treatment, which means the reduction of the oil content from 70-100 ppm to below 10 ppm, depending ...
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 ...
Effect of plasma treatment on accelerated pla degradation
(
BME-PT and GTE
, 2021 , Article)
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) has been found to be important in various applications, such as in the medical, pharma-ceutical, and packaging industries. However, the long-term associated degradation process of PLA is a limiting ...
Effect of poly(ε-caprolactone) and titanium (IV) dioxide content on the UV and hydrolytic degradation of poly(lactic acid)/poly(ε-caprolactone) blends
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2021 , Article)
The effect of accelerated weathering degradation on the properties of poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) blends and PLA/PCL/titanium (IV) dioxide (TiO2) nanocomposites are presented in this paper. The results ...
