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 ...
Photonics and fracture toughness of heterogeneous composite materials
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2017 , Article)
Fracture toughness measures the resistance of a material to fracture. This fundamental property is used in diverse engineering designs including mechanical, civil, materials, electronics and chemical engineering applications. ...
Fabrication of polyaniline-graphene/polystyrene nanocomposites for flexible gas sensors
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2019 , Article)
This research work presents the fabrication of polyaniline (PANI) and graphene-polyaniline (graphene-PANI) nanocomposite-coated polystyrene (PS) nanofibre mats, as well as their application in flexible and highly sensitive ...
High and Ultra-high Performance Concretes: A Solution to Reinforced Concrete Durability under Harsh Climate of Arabian Gulf
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Reinforced concrete (RC) infrastructure in the Arabian Gulf region deteriorates under
severe environmental conditions after only short service life. To overcome this problem,
it is imperative to employ high-quality concretes ...
Microwave rapid sintering of al-metal matrix composites: A review on the effect of reinforcements, microstructure and mechanical properties
(
MDPI AG
, 2016 , Article Review)
Aluminum metal matrix composites (AMMCs) are light-weight materials having wide-spread use in the automobile and aerospace industries due to their attractive physical and mechanical properties. The promising mechanical ...
A comparative study on long term stability of self-healing epoxy coating with different inorganic nanotubes as healing agent reservoirs
(
BME-PT and GTE
, 2017 , Article)
Self-healing epoxy coatings were prepared with different nanotubes as reservoirs for epoxy monomer (healing agent). The nanotubes selected for the current study were TiO2 nanotubes with two different tube diameter (TNT1 ...
Effect of Alkaline Activators on the Mechanical Properties of Geopolymer Mortar
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
"Geopolymerization is a process where silica and alumina rich source materials turn
into excellent binding materials by the aid of alkali solutions. Materials such as fly ash
are by-products in energy power plants. Fly ...
Solvent Uptake of Liquid Rubber Toughened Epoxy/Clay Nanocomposites
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Carboxyl-terminated poly (butadiene-co-acrylonitrile) (CTBN) liquid rubber toughened epoxy (epoxy/CTBN blend) and CTBN-toughened epoxy/clay nanocomposites (epoxy/clay/CTBN nanocomposites) were prepared, and solvent (acetone) ...
