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 ...
Synthesis of Aliphatic Acids from CO2 and Water at Efficiencies Close to the Photosynthesis Limit Using Mixed Copper and Iron Oxide Films
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
The photocatalytic conversion of CO2 and water into value-added chemicals remains a great challenge. This study shows that uniformly mixed copper and iron oxide (CuO/CuFeO2; CFO) bulky heterojunction films are capable of ...
Chemical modification of graphene with grape seed extract: Its structural, optical and antimicrobial properties
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Herein, we modified for the first time thermally reduced graphene oxide (TRG) using grape seed extract (GSE), by simple probe sonication method. The effect of GSE on the structural changes of TRG has been carefully analyzed ...
Developing Polyaniline Filled Isoprene Composite Fibers by Electrospinning: Effect of Filler Concentration on the Morphology and Glass Transition
(
Pleiades Publishing
, 2019 , Article)
Abstract: Sub micron and nano level fibers are produced from the polymer melts by applying an external electric field during electrospinning; however very few studies are reported on elastomer scaffolds formed by this ...
Recycled polyethylene/paraffin wax/expanded graphite based heat absorbers for thermal energy storage: An artificial aging study
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
An artificial aging study of novel heat absorbers based on phase change materials (PCMs) prepared from recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE), paraffin wax (PW), and expanded graphite (EG) was investigated. The optimal ...
Investigation of the temperature-relatedwear performance of hard nanostructured coatings deposited on a s600 high speed steel
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Thin hard coatings are widely known as key elements in many industrial fields, from equipment for metal machining to dental implants and orthopedic prosthesis. When it comes to machining and cutting tools, thin hard coatings ...
Rational Synthesis of Porous Graphitic-like Carbon Nitride Nanotubes Codoped with Au and Pd as an Efficient Catalyst for Carbon Monoxide Oxidation
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
The precise fabrication of efficient catalysts for CO oxidation is of particular interest in a wide range of industrial and environmental applications. Herein, a scalable method is presented for the controlled synthesis ...
Application of MALDI Biotyper System for Rapid Identification of Bacteria Isolated from a Fresh Produce Market
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2019 , Article)
MALDI-TOF MS has revolutionized the identification of microorganisms and has become an indispensable part of routine diagnostics in the clinical microbiological laboratory. However, application of this technique in microbial ...
Kinetics of alkoxysilanes and organoalkoxysilanes polymerization: A review
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article Review)
Scientists from various different fields use organo-trialkoxysilanes and tetraalkoxysilanes in a number of applications. The silica-based materials are sometimes synthesized without a good understanding of the underlying ...
Designing carbon nanotube-based oil absorbing membranes from gamma irradiated and electrospun polystyrene nanocomposites
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Carbon-based materials are outstanding candidates for oil spill clean-ups due to their superhydrophobicity, high surface area, chemical inertness, low density, recyclability, and selectivity. The current work deals with ...
