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 ...
Striking multiple synergies in novel three-phase fluoropolymer nanocomposites by combining titanium dioxide and graphene oxide as hybrid fillers
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
In this study, novel three-phase polymer nanocomposites comprising of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles and graphene oxide (GO) were prepared using colloidal blending. The PVDF/TiO2/GO ...
Gelation kinetics of PAM/PEI based drilling mud for lost circulation applications
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
The problem of lost circulation is a direct consequence of the presence of fractures or high permeability. Lost circulation material (LCM) is used to treat the loss that occurs or proactively strengthen the wellbore of the ...
Gelation kinetics of functionalized silica crosslinked polymeric gels used in conformance control applications
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2021 , Article)
The potential crosslinking of three types of nitrogen-containing functionalized silica (TAAcONa, guanidine, and triamine) with polyacrylamide (PAM) has been investigated. Only triamine silica was able to crosslink with ...
Effect of BaTiO3 on the sensing properties of PVDF composite-based capacitive humidity sensors
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
Capacitive humidity sensors consisting of materials such as polymers, ceramics, and piezoelectrics are widely used to monitor relative humidity levels. The effect of barium titanate (BaTiO3) nanoparticles on the humidity ...
Influence of anionic surface modifiers on the thermal stability and mechanical properties of layered double hydroxide/polypropylene nanocomposites
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2015 , Article)
Organo-layered double hydroxide/polypropylene (LDH/PP) nanocomposites were successfully synthesized via a solution blending method. As an attempt to improve the compatibility with hydrophobic PP, the LDH surface was modified ...
Effect of expanded graphite on the phase change materials of high density polyethylene/wax blends
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Phase change materials fabricated from high density polyethylene (HDPE) blended with 40 or 50 wt% commercial wax (melting point of 43.08�C) and up to 15 wt% expanded graphite (EG) were studied. Techniques including scanning ...
Intercalation of ionic liquids into bentonite: Swelling and rheological behaviors
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, direct intercalation of three different green ionic liquids (ILs) having different salt and cation sizes into bentonite interlayer is investigated. The ILs covered in this study are: 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium ...

(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Synthesis of CeO2-Fe2O3 nanoparticles via propylene oxide (PO) aided sol-gel method for the production of solar fuels via thermochemical H2O/CO2 splitting cycles is reported in this paper. For the synthesis of CeO2-Fe2O3, ...
Thermophysical properties of multifunctional glass fibre reinforced polymer composites incorporating phase change materials
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
In this study novel multifunctional composites consisting of glass fibre/epoxy/microencapsulated phase change materials (micro-PCMs) were prepared and their thermophysical properties have been investigated. Test results ...
