Carbonyl iron coated with a sulfobetaine moiety as a biocompatible system and the magnetorheological performance of its silicone oil suspensions
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, surface modification of carbonyl iron (CI) particles with sulfobetaine moieties (SBE) was performed by the silanization of activated CI to form stable CI-SBE particles. The modification led to a significant ...
Anthropogenic related variations in the epibiotic biodiversity and age structure of the “Pearl Oyster” Pinctada radiata within the eulittoral zone of Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Abstract Oyster aggregations provide critical habitat that contain diverse communities, with epibiota and oysters sensitive to environmental disturbance. The monitoring of oysters and associated organisms has become an ...
Oleic acid-grafted chitosan/graphene oxide composite coating for corrosion protection of carbon steel
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
An anticorrosion coating film based on the formation of nanocomposite coating is reported in this study. The composite consisted of chitosan (green matrix), oleic acid, and graphene oxide (nano filler). The nanocomposite ...
Morphology and magnetic properties of the ethylene-co-vinyl acetate/iron nanocomposite films prepared by implantation with Fe6+ ions
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Ethylene-co-vinyl acetate/iron nanocomposite films were fabricated by implantation with multiplecharged ions at different fluencies. The films obtained with ion fluency of 1 × 1017cm−2were used forspecific studies. It was ...
Halloysite Nanotube as Multifunctional Component in Epoxy Protective Coating
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
The current research explores the use of halloysite nanotube as a multifunctional filler in epoxy coating for carbon steel. Epoxy monomer loaded halloysite was incorporated into epoxy coating along with amine hardener ...
Expatriate labour markets in rapidly globalising cities: reproducing the migrant division of labour in Abu Dhabi and Dubai
(
Taylor & Francis (Routledge)
, 2016 , Article)
This paper studies the processes through which skilled international
workers are differentially attracted to and incorporated in the rapidly
globalising cities of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, thereby reproducing the
migrant ...
Preparation and characterization of green graphene using grape seed extract for bioapplications
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The development of functionalized graphene materials concerning health and environmental aspects via green approaches is currently the most recent topic in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Herein, we report the ...
Tailoring of the thermal, mechanical and dielectric properties of the polypropylene foams using gamma-irradiation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This study investigate the influence of gamma-irradiation (GI) doses from 0 up to 50 kGy on the polypropylene (PP) foams, mainly the impact on their structural and physical properties. It was found that structural properties ...
Universal power law behavior of the AC conductivity versus frequency of agglomerate morphologies in conductive carbon nanotube-reinforced epoxy networks
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
The Jonscher universal power law for ac conductivity versus frequency (f = /2) in the dispersion region was tested for a multiwall carbon nanotube/epoxy nanocomposite. The effect of changes in agglomerate morphology on the ...
Heat transfer performance of paraffin wax based phase change materials applicable in building industry
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Thermal characterization of phase change materials (PCMs) compose of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), paraffin wax (W) with a melting point of 25 °C, and expanded graphite (EG), that are highly effective in thermal ...
