Chemical kinetics of carbon dioxide in the blends of different amino acid salts and methyldiethanolamine
( John Wiley and Sons Ltd , 2020 , Article)In the present study, the reaction kinetics of carbon dioxide (CO2) with two blends of N-methyldiethanolamine; potassium salts of taurine and potassium salts of glycine were investigated. The experiments were performed ... -
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 ... -
Chemical properties of garnet nanofluids
( Elsevier Ltd , 2020 , Conference Paper)A lubricant is a substance introduced to reduce friction between surfaces in mutual contact, which ultimately reduces the heat generated when the surfaces move. The lubricating property of lubricating oils is increased by ... -
Chemically synthesized carbon nanorods with dual polarized emission
( American Chemical Society , 2019 , Article)We realized the synthesis of carbon nanorods—monodisperse colloidal particles with a length of 50 nm and a width of 20 nm—which can be considered an addition to the family of light-emitting carbon-based nanostructures. ... -
Chemokine-cytokine networks in the head and neck tumor microenvironment
( MDPI , 2021 , Article Review)Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) are aggressive diseases with a dismal patient prognosis. Despite significant advances in treatment modalities, the five-year survival rate in patients with HNSCC has improved ... -
