Date Palm Cellulose Nanocrystals (CNCs)/Polyamide Composites: Tailoring Morphological, Mechanical, and Thermal Properties
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
In the present study, polyamide (PA) was successfully reinforced with cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) prepared from date palm leaves using two different techniques, electrospinning and the solution casting method, and a ...
Perfluoroctylsilane grafted Ti3C2X-based hydrogel liquid marble for controlled movement, self-assembly, light-induced release, and water evaporation system
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
In this study, a stable and highly hydrophobic perfluoroctylsilane grafted Ti3C2X (PFMXene) possessing repeatable and stable photothermal behavior was applied for fabrication of liquid marble (LM) and hydrogel-based LM. ...
Quantifying and reducing concentration polarization in reverse osmosis systems
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article Review)
Reverse osmosis (RO) is an efficient water purification technique because of its high selectivity and permeability. During RO operation, rejection of solutes at the membrane surface leads to generation of a concentration ...
An Enhancement of Compositional Stability of Phase Change Materials by Lamination with Aluminum Sheet
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
The wax leakage from shape-stabilized phase change materials (SSPCMs) is a limitation because it reduces their functionality. In this work, an enhancement of the compositional stability of SSPCMs formed by high-density ...
Evaluation of photothermal conversion performance of shape-stabilized phase change materials using a heat flux evolution curve
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Phase change materials are promising alternatives for solar energy harvesting by photothermal conversion and thermal energy storage. In this work, a shape-stabilized phase change material (PCM) was prepared by hot-melt ...
Purification of emulsified oily polluted waters with modified melamine foams
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Oil and gas industry operations produce tremendous amounts of wastewater (produced water; PW). Tertiary treatment of the PW in the final treatment stage is challenging due to the presence of colloids with sizes < 500 nm ...
An Adhesion Improvement of Low-Density Polyethylene to Aluminum through Modification with Functionalized Polymers
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
An interfacial adhesion improvement between low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and aluminum (Al) foil is an important challenge in designing multilayered packaging (TetraPak packaging type) due to insufficient inherent adhesion ...
Synthesis and photoelectrochemical performance of Co doped SrTiO3 nanostructures photoanode
(
Wiley
, 2023 , Article)
It is pertinent to realize that scientific research indicates that the most promising method for producing H2 is photo electrochemical water splitting through a photo anode. Cobalt-doped SrTiO3 (Co-SrTiO3) composite ...
Progress in membranes for pressure retarded osmosis application
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2023 , Other)
The ever-growing global energy crisis has been pushing industries to lean towards renewable resources as an alternative for power generation. Recent research is focusing mainly towards achieving water sustainability and ...
An overview on the progress in produced water desalination by membrane-based technology
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2023 , Other)
The scarcity of clean water sources has become a global concern in the present-day society. This has driven to the extraction of fresh water from produced water (PW), from the oil and gas fields, specifically in countries ...
