The Influence of Carbon Nanotubes on the Thermoelectric Properties of Bismuth Telluride
(Material Science and Technology, 2020 , Professional Masters Project)
Thermoelectric materials are devices that have the ability to convert waste heat to
electricity. The widespread use of thermoelectric materials is currently limited by the low
value of their figure-of-merit (ZT). Bismuth ...
Optimization and Stabilization of P-Type BISBTE/GRAPHENE Nanocomposites for Efficient Thermoelectric Energy Conversion
(Material Science and Technology, 2020 , Master Thesis)
The state-of-the-art Bismuth Antimony Telluride (BiSbTe) alloys have a
promising potential to advance thermoelectric applications in energy harvesting for
efficient power generation and active refrigeration. In this ...
Polymer-Matrix Nanocomposite Membranes For Water Treatment
(Material Science and Technology, 2019 , Master Thesis)
A new generation of advanced fibrous materials with high surface area, large number of pores, high flexibility and adjustable wettability were manufactured from different materials which are viable for many applications ...
Preparation and characterization of flexible all solid state CNT/MnO2 Supercapacitors
(Material Science and Technology, 2018 , Master Thesis)

Study of the Ion Interclation Mechanism in Mxene Membrane for the Water Treatment Applications
(Material Science and Technology, 2020 , Master Thesis)
MXene membrane consists of free-standing layers of a 2D material, namely MXene, which is
attracting growing interest due to its conductivity and well-defined interlayer distance and
slit-like channels, making it ...
Chemical Treatment and Characterization of Qatalum’s 1st Cut Spent Spot Lining (SPL)
(Materials Science and Technology, 2015 , Master Thesis)
Spent pot lining (SPL) waste is produced in thousands of tons annually from the aluminium production factories including Qatar Aluminum Company, Qatalum. SPL is classified into first and second cut; the first cut is mainly ...
ENHANCING THE FOULING RESISTANCE AND REJECTION OF CELLULOSE ACETATE [CA] /MXENE [𝑇𝑖3𝐶2𝑇𝑥] NANOCOMPOSITE MEMBRANES
(Material Science and Technology, 2021 , Master Thesis)
Obstacles in the membrane-based separation field are mainly related to
membrane fouling. This study synthesized a pioneering covalently crosslinked
cellulose acetate anti-fouling mixed matrix membrane containing between ...
Preparation And Characterization Of Multilayered Electrospun Composite Scaffolds For Biomedical Applications

Electrospinning has gained wide attention recently in biomedical applications. Electrospun biocompatible scaffolds are well-known for biomedical applications such as drug delivery, wound dressing and tissue engineering ...
Relationship between structure, properties and UV/Heat protection behavior of two different types of polyethylene manufactured in Qatar
(Material Science and Technology, 2021 , Professional Masters Project)
Accelerated (artificial) weathering and thermal ageing tests were performed
to investigate the effectiveness of different UV/HALS formulations in reducing the
UV/heat degradation effect for two different low-density ...
Nutrient consumption over time in plant litter decomposition in drylands: effects of different species mixtures and Photodegradation
(Environmental Sciences, 2021 , Professional Masters Project)
Plant litter decomposition in soil is a dynamic process that is affected and
regulated by several factors. Soil microbial activity, light intensity, litter composition
and habitat all affect the rate of decomposition ...
