Stability of organometal halide perovskite solar cells and role of HTMs: Recent developments and future directions
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2018 , Article Review)
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have recently emerged as one of the most exciting fields of research of our time, and the World Economic Forum in 2016 recognized them as one of the top 10 technologies in 2016. With 22.7% ...
Clay/Conductive Polymer Nanocomposites
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2017 , Book chapter)
This chapter describes the main strategies for designing clay nanocomposites of the most investigated inherently conductive polymers, namely, polypyrrole, polyaniline, and polythiophenes including poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) ...
Enhanced performance of nano-sized SiC reinforced Al metal matrix nanocomposites synthesized through microwave sintering and hot extrusion techniques
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
In the present study, nano-sized SiC (0, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 vol%) reinforced aluminum (Al) metal matrix composites were fabricated by microwave sintering and hot extrusion techniques. The structural (XRD, SEM), mechanical ...
Halogen-free flame-retardant compounds. Thermal decomposition and flammability behavior for alternative polyethylene grades
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
The effect of six halogen-free flame retardant (FR) formulations was investigated on the thermal stability of two low-density polyethylenes (LDPE) and one linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), by means of thermogravimetric ...
Self-repairing composites for corrosion protection: A review on recent strategies and evaluation methods
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article Review)
The use of self-healing coatings to protect metal substrates, such as aluminum alloys, stainless steel, carbon steel, and Mg alloys from corrosion is an important aspect for protecting metals and for the economy. During ...
Self-healing performance of multifunctional polymeric smart coatings
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Multifunctional nanocomposite coatings were synthesized by reinforcing a polymeric matrix with halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) loaded with corrosion inhibitor (NaNO3) and urea formaldehyde microcapsules (UFMCs) encapsulated ...
Glycan analysis as biomarkers for testicular cancer
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article Review)
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force does not recommend routine screening for testicular cancer (TC) in asymptomatic men, essentially because serological testicular cancer (TC) biomarkers are not reliable. The main ...
Synthesis and evaluation of copper-supported titanium oxide nanotubes as electrocatalyst for the electrochemical reduction of carbon oxide to organics
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is considered as the prime reason for the global warming effect and one of the useful ways to transform it into an array of valuable products is through electrochemical reduction of CO 2 (ERC). This ...
Synthesis and properties of polyelectrolyte multilayered microcapsules reinforced smart coatings
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2019 , Article)
The present research work focuses on the synthesis, characterization and properties of novel polyelectrolyte multilayered microcapsules used as smart additives in organic coatings for corrosion protection of steel parts. ...
Sunlight-Driven Combustion Synthesis of Defective Metal Oxide Nanostructures with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
Synthesis of metal oxide nanostructures through combustion routes is a promising technique owing to its simplicity, rapidity, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. Herein, a sunlight-driven combustion approach is developed ...
