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 ...
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Based Biosensors: Mechanistic Principles, Analytical Examples and Challenges towards Commercialization for Assays of Protein Cancer Biomarkers
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2019 , Article Review)
Impedimetric affinity biosensors are, without any doubt, among the most sensitive analytical devices available, offering low limits of detection and wide linear response ranges. There are, however, only a few papers detailing ...
Influence of BaTiO 3 /white graphene filler synergy on the energy harvesting performance of a piezoelectric polymer nanocomposite
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2019 , Article)
In this work, a novel ternary polyvinylidene fluoride hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) nanocomposite containing ceramic barium titanate nanoparticles (BaTiO 3 ) and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanolayers is developed. An ...
The Mechanical and Thermal Response of Shape Memory Alloy-Reinforced Aluminum Nanocomposites
(
Springer
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
The concept of developing intelligent materials that has the innate capability of healing its damage has engineered considerable scientific and even technological interest due on account of its potential for selection and ...
Investigation of antimicrobial properties and in-vitro bioactivity of Ce3+-Sr2+dual-substituted nano hydroxyapatites
(
Blackwell Publishing Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Dual doped calcium apatite has been widely focused as it enhances the osteoconductive property for the possible applications in orthopedic and dental implants. In this work, we investigate the antimicrobial and bioactive ...
Annual performance analysis of adding different nanofluids in stepped solar still
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2019 , Article)
The use of MgO and TiO2 nanofluids at different concentrations was investigated annually to evaluate the distillate output of stepped solar stills. Nanofluids concentrations ranged from 0.1 to 0.2% in the present research ...
Organically modified nanoclay filled thin-film nanocomposite membranes for reverse osmosis application
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
This study validates, for the first time, the effectiveness of two nanoclays, that is, cloisite (CS)-15A and montmorillonite (MNT) at the polyamide (PA) active layer in the reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. Cloisite-15A is ...
Unpublished coins from Al-Zubarah: Scientific and economic analysis
(
Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
, 2019 , Book chapter)
Qatar Museums Authority (QMA) has kindly permitted the research team to study and publish a number of coins discovered in the old town of Al-Zubarah. The coins are now housed at the 19th century re-built of Al-Zubarah Fort. ...
Bismuth perovskite as a viable alternative to Pb perovskite solar cells: device simulations to delineate critical efficiency dynamics
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2019 , Article)
We have simulated the operation and functionality of a working Bi-based perovskite solar cell device using GPVDM and compared it against a Pb-based device. The results are extremely promising in that they showcase comparable ...
Kinetics of alkoxysilanes hydrolysis: An empirical approach
(
Nature Research
, 2019 , Article)
Alkoxysilanes and organoalkoxysilanes are primary materials in several industries, e.g. coating, anti-corrosion treatment, fabrication of stationary phase for chromatography, and coupling agents. The hydrolytic polycondensation ...
