Bentonite-decorated calix [4] arene: A new, promising hybrid material for heavy-metal removal
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
There is global concern about the contamination of ground, river, and tap waters as well as soil contamination with heavy metal ions; these chemical species are known to not degrade and to cause severe health problems if ...
A novel alternative to free oil remediation and recovery: Foamy absorbents designed from low molecular paraffinic waste
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
This study focuses on preparing porous, hydrophobic, and oleophilic hydrocarbon-based foams applicable for removing free oils from water surfaces. Paraffinic waste material generated during industrial production of low-density ...
Mechanical and Electrical Properties of Styrene-Isoprene-Styrene Copolymer Doped with Expanded Graphite Nanoplatelets
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2015 , Article)
The molecular dynamics of a triblock copolymer and of expanded graphite nanoplatelets were investigated. Composites were prepared using the solution technique. The effects of filler addition and of filler-matrix interactions ...

Thermally conductive polyethylene/expanded graphite composites as heat transfer surface: Mechanical, thermo-physical and surface behavior
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Composites of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and expanded graphite (EG) are prepared for heat exchangers in multi-effect distillation (MED) desalination. At 50 wt.% EG loading, the thermal conductivity of HDPE was increased ...
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) ...
