Efficacy of using slurry of metal-coated microencapsulated PCM for cooling in a micro-channel heat exchanger
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
This paper provides a method of heat transfer enhancement using microencapsulated phase change material (MPCM) slurries, utilizing the latent heat of PCM during melting. The values of heat transfer coefficient obtained for ...
Unravel the impact of anchoring groups on the photovoltaic performances of diketopyrrolopyrrole sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells
(
American Chemical Society
, 2015 , Article)
Two D-?-A dyes, one with a strong electron withdrawing cyanoacrylic acid DPP 20 and one with a weak acceptor carboxylic acid DPP 21 have been synthesized and characterized for their application in dye-sensitized solar ...
Emulsion stability and cross-linking of PMMA microcapsules containing phase change materials
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The microencapsulation of paraffin as a phase change material (PCM) using poly methyl methacrylate (PMM) as a shell was investigated by means of suspension polymerization. The increase in the emulsion stability by using ...
Photo-oxidative enhancement of polymeric molecular sieve membranes
(
Nature Research
, 2013 , Article)
High-performance membranes are attractive for molecular-level separations in industrial-scale chemical, energy and environmental processes. The next-generation membranes for these processes are based on molecular sieving ...
Impact of synthesis conditions on meso- and macropore structures of resorcinol-formaldehyde xerogels
(
Springer
, 2011 , Article)
Xerogels were prepared by the sol-gel polymerization of resorcinol with formaldehyde at different conditions. The effects of different synthesis factors (namely, resorcinol-to-formaldehyde ratio, resorcinol-to-water ratio, ...
Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) based polymer nanocomposite membranes for gas separation
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2012 , Article)
As synthesised ZIF-8 nanoparticles (size ∼ 60 nm and specific surface area ∼ 1300–1600 m2 g−1) were directly incorporated into a model polymer matrix (Matrimid® 5218) by solution mixing. This produces flexible transparent ...
Adsorption energy and pore-size distributions of activated carbons calculated using Hill's model
(
Multi-Science Publishing Co. Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
An integral equation derived using a statistical physics treatment by considering the adsorption energy distribution (AED) was used to model the adsorption of ethylene and ethane on resorcinol-formaldehyde-based activated ...
Thin, flexible supercapacitors made from carbon nanofiber electrodes decorated at room temperature with manganese oxide nanosheets
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2013 , Article)
We report the fabrication and electrochemical performance of a flexible thin film supercapacitor with a novel nanostructured composite electrode. The electrode was prepared by in situ coprecipitation of two-dimensional ...
Scholarly publishing depends on peer reviewers
(
Grupo de Investigacion en Atencion Farmaceutica
, 2018 , Article)
The peer-review crisis is posing a risk to the scholarly peer-reviewed journal system. Journals have to ask many potential peer reviewers to obtain a minimum acceptable number of peers accepting reviewing a manuscript. ...
Mechanical, sorption and adhesive properties of composites based on low density polyethylene filled with date palm wood powder
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Low density polyethylene (LDPE) was blended with date palm wood powder (DPW) to prepare composites with concentrations of filler ranging from 10 to 70. wt.%. The Youn?s modulus of the composites significantly increased ...
