Collective osmotic shock in ordered materials
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2012 , Article)
Osmotic shock in a vesicle or cell is the stress build-up and subsequent rupture of the phospholipid membrane that occurs when a relatively high concentration of salt is unable to cross the membrane and instead an inflow ...
Nano-gate opening pressures for the adsorption of isobutane, n-butane, propane, and propylene gases on bimetallic Co-Zn based zeolitic imidazolate frameworks
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2019 , Article)
In this article, zeolitic-imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) and its mixed metal CoZn-ZIF-8 were synthesized via a rapid microwave method. The products were characterized by Raman spectroscopy, XPS, XRD, EDX, TEM, NanoSEM, ...
Controlled thermal oxidative crosslinking of polymers of intrinsic microporosity towards tunable molecular sieve membranes
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2014 , Article)
Organic open frameworks with well-defined micropore (pore dimensions below 2 nm) structure are attractive next-generation materials for gas sorption, storage, catalysis and molecular level separations. Polymers of intrinsic ...
Weakly Conjugated Hybrid Zinc Porphyrin Sensitizers for Solid-State Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Molecularly engineered weakly conjugated hybrid porphyrin systems are presented as efficient sensitizers for solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells. By incorporating the quinolizino acridine and triazatruxene based unit ...
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 ...
Using electric power to synthesize resorcinol-formaldehyde gels with enhanced characteristics
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
A novel electrochemical approach was introduced for crosslinking resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) gels at room temperature without utilizing a catalyst or a buffer. The electrochemically cross-linked gels and their subsequent ...
Assessment of algae-based wastewater treatment in hot climate region: Treatment performance and kinetics
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2020 , Article)
This study evaluated the use of microalgae for wastewater treatment in hot climate regions. The growth rates of C. vulgaris (C.v.) and N. oleoabundans (N.o.) at 36 °C were studied in primary effluent (PE), secondary effluent ...
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 ...
