(
John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
, 2015 , Book chapter)
Photoimmobilization of zwitterionic polymers on surfaces to reduce cell adhesion
(
Academic Press Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Simple and robust methods for modifying hydrophobic polymer surfaces with zwitterionic polymers using UV irradiation were developed. Two random zwitterionic copolymers consisting of either carboxybetaine or sulfobetaine ...
Improvement of aluminum/polyethylene adhesion through corona discharge
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2017 , Article)
Polyethylene (PE) is often used in several industrial applications including the building, packaging and transport industries. Aluminum (Al) is widely used in different applications in the automotive, railway, aeronautic, ...
Modification of polyethylene by RF plasma in different/mixture gases
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Herein, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films were treated using radio-frequency plasma discharge in the presence of air, nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and their mixtures to introduce new chemical functionalities. The surface ...
The Separation of Emulsified Water/Oil Mixtures through Adsorption on Plasma-Treated Polyethylene Powder
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
This work 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 radio-frequency ...
2D Ti3C2Tx (MXene)-reinforced polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers with enhanced mechanical and electrical properties
(
Public Library of Science
, 2017 , Article)
Novel 2D Ti3C2Tx (MXene)-reinforced polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers have been successfully fabricated by an electrospinning technique. The high aspect ratio, hydrophilic surfaces, and metallic conductivity of delaminated ...
Antibacterial Modification Of Polyethylene By Multistage Process Utilizing Low-temperature Plasma
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Limiting factor of PE application in healthcare is high susceptibility of polyethylene towards bacterial growth. For this reason, antibacterial treatment of PE foils using appropriate antibacterial agents was used in this ...
Reinforcement of copolyamide membranes for water treatment applications
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Clean water is the key element for all living organisms to sustain life. However, due to the rapid industrialization and large increase in the population, the contamination of water resources is important issue occurred ...
Cold Plasma as Effective Tool for Aluminum Surface Cleaning
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Aluminum (Al) is heavily used to manufacture structural parts in the aeronautic, railway, automotive or naval industries because of its lightness and its corrosion resistance [1]. One of the most popular uses of Al is in ...
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 ...
