Polyaniline/polyvinyl alcohol blends: Effect of sulfonic acid dopants on microstructural, optical, thermal and electrical properties
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
This correspondence reports the preparation and performance of different polyaniline–polyvinyl blends (PANI–PVA) doped with sulfonated acids. PANI is prepared by in situ dispersion polymerisation, and a subsequent extensive ...
High performance sulfonic acid doped polyaniline–polystyrene blend ammonia gas sensors
(
Springer Nature
, 2016 , Article)
In this work, we present a method of preparation and sensing measurement of four camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) doped polyaniline–polystyrene blends (PANI–PS), where PANI is obtained by dispersion polymerization and blending ...
Reduced erbium-doped ceria nanoparticles: One nano-host applicable for simultaneous optical down- and up-conversions
(
Springer Nature
, 2014 , Article)
This paper introduces a new synthesis procedure to form erbium-doped ceria nanoparticles (EDC NPs) that can act as an optical medium for both up-conversion and down-conversion in the same time. This synthesis process results ...
Improved electrical conductivity of carbon/polyvinyl alcohol electrospun nanofibers
(
Hindawi
, 2015 , Article)
Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) gained much interest in the last few years due to their promising electrical, chemical, and mechanical characteristics. This paper investigates a new nanocomposite composed of carbon nanofibers ...
Validation and application of a membrane filtration evaluation protocol for oil-water separation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Membrane filtration processes like microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) are proven to be effective in industrial wastewater treatment, including oil-water separation, as they generate suitable quality permeate for ...
Molecular scale cure rate dependence of thermoset matrix polymers
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
This manuscript demonstrates the molecular scale cure rate dependence of di-functional epoxide based thermoset polymers cured with amines. A series of cure heating ramp rates were used to determine the influence of ramp ...
