Corrosion protection of electrospun PVDF-ZnO superhydrophobic coating
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
A one-step electrospinning technique was used to prepare a protective superhydrophobic PVDF–ZnO nanocomposite coating for aluminum against corrosion. The wettability and morphology of the prepared coating surfaces was ...
Extension of the model of binary fluidization to beds confined in a packing of coarse spheres
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
The prediction of the minimum fluidization velocity of beds of Geldart's group B particles confined in a packed bed of coarse spheres can be achieved by extending to this peculiar type of systems the theory developed for ...

(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
A bio-friendly nanostructured cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) sheet with iron oxide grown on it acting as a nitrogen dioxide (NO2) gas sensor was fabricated by hydrothermal method. The structural investigation was done to ...
Application of various water soluble polymers in gas hydrate inhibition
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article Review)
Formation of hydrates in gas transmission lines due to high pressures and low temperatures is a serious problem in the oil and gas industry with potential hazards and/or economic losses. Kinetic hydrate inhibitors are water ...
Review on recent advances in polythiophene based photovoltaic devices
(
Elsevier Ltd
