Designing dual phase sensing materials from polyaniline filled styrene-isoprene-styrene composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
The demand for developing oil detectors is ever increasing since the cleanup and recovery from oil spill usually take long time. Here we propose oil sensors made of polyaniline (PANI) filled poly(styrene-isoprene-styrene) ...
Elastomeric actuators based on ethylene-vinyl acetate and carbon nanotubes
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2014 , Book chapter)
The development of new types of visual-aid tablet for visually impaired people requires the development of cheap, but still very effective photoactuating materials. This requirement can be satisfied by the use of new kind ...
Eco-Friendly Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Materials from Flexible Reduced Graphene Oxide Filled Polycaprolactone/Polyaniline Nanocomposites
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Hybrid nanocomposites have the unique ability of enhancing material properties due to the existing synergistic effect of the fillers. In this study, the authors report such an eco-friendly hybrid nanocomposite comprising ...
Fluorescent Zn(II)-Based Metal-Organic Framework: Interaction with Organic Solvents and CO<inf>2</inf> and Methane Capture
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Adsorption of carbon dioxide (CO2), as well as many other kinds of small molecules, is of importance for industrial and sensing applications. Metal-organic framework (MOF)-based adsorbents are spotlighted for such applications. ...
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 ...
Perfluoroctylsilane grafted Ti3C2X-based hydrogel liquid marble for controlled movement, self-assembly, light-induced release, and water evaporation system
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
In this study, a stable and highly hydrophobic perfluoroctylsilane grafted Ti3C2X (PFMXene) possessing repeatable and stable photothermal behavior was applied for fabrication of liquid marble (LM) and hydrogel-based LM. ...
Quantifying and reducing concentration polarization in reverse osmosis systems
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article Review)
Reverse osmosis (RO) is an efficient water purification technique because of its high selectivity and permeability. During RO operation, rejection of solutes at the membrane surface leads to generation of a concentration ...
Exchange counterion in polycationic hydrogels: Tunability of hydrophobicity, water state, and floating capability for a floating ph device
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
Smart gel materials are capable of controlling and switching swelling, water state, and wettability properties triggered by external stimuli. In this study, we fabricated a series of polyelectrolyte hydrogels bearing a ...
Modified os sepiae of Sepiella inermis as a low cost, sustainable, bio-based adsorbent for the effective remediation of boron from aqueous solution
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2022 , Article)
The occurrence of boron in low concentration is essential; however, a higher concentration of boron source in water has a toxic effect on humans as well as have retard effect on agricultural plant growth. Thus, the affordable ...
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 ...
