Superhydrophobic Polyester/Cotton Fabrics Modified by Barrier Discharge Plasma and Organosilanes
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
In this paper, diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge plasma at atmospheric pressure has been used for surface modification of polyester/cotton (PESc) fabric, which was subsequently modified by sol–gel process using ...
Challenges and Mitigation of Cyber Threat in Automated Vehicle: An Integrated Approach
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The technological development of automated vehicles opens novel cybersecurity threats and risks for road safety. Increased connectivity often results in increased risks of a cyber-security attacks, which is one of the ...
Poly(lactic acid)-starch/Expandable Graphite (PLA-starch/EG) Flame Retardant Composites
(
Scrivener Publishing
, 2018 , Article)
This work reports on the effect of commercial expandable graphite (EG) on the flammability and thermal
decomposition properties of PLA-starch blend. The PLA-starch/EG composites were prepared by melt-mixing
and their ...
Enhancement of electrical characteristics of a-ZTO TFTs based on channel layers produced with alternating precursor concentration
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2018 , Article)
The enhancement in electrical characteristics of the thin film transistors (TFTs) based on the mixed-stacked amorphous zinc tin oxide (a-ZTO) with an alternating precursor concentration is reported. The channel layers were ...
Diversity of benthic macrofauna and physical parameters of sediments in natural mangroves and in afforested mangroves three decades after compensatory planting
(
Springer
, 2018 , Article)
Mangroves in the Arabian Gulf are under pressure from land use change, leading to compensatory planting at sites without
natural mangroves. In this study, we examine the potential long-term success of this form of ...
Inter-phase charge and energy transfer in Ruddlesden-Popper 2D perovskites: Critical role of the spacing cations
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2018 , Article)
Photo-generated charge carrier dynamics in Ruddlesden-Popper 2D perovskites with linear (n-BA) and branched (iso-BA) butylamine as spacing cations have been studied by using transient absorption and time-resolved ...
Gas solubility and rheological behavior study of betaine and alanine based natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES)
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) produced herein this work by mixing betaine and alanine with lactic acid and malic acid with 1:1 M mixing ratios. Thermophysical properties including water content, thermal stability, ...
Enhancing gas loading and reducing energy consumption in acid gas removal systems: A simulation study based on real NGL plant data
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
© 2017 Elsevier B.V. Amine scrubbing with absorption and desorption is the most established technology for Acid Gas Removal (AGR) systems, but suffers from high regeneration energy requirements and, hence offers a good ...
Synthesis and characterization of Cu/ZnO catalyst on carbon nanotubes and Al2O3 supports
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
CO2 conversion into valuable chemicals is an attractive option to deal with the increasing CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. In this study, Cu/ZnO catalyst was synthesized on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and ...
Interfaces study of all-polysaccharide composite films
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2018 , Article)
Films made of xylan (X) and quaternized chitosan (QC) were prepared and the interactions of the polysaccharides on interfaces were discussed. According to elemental analysis, the X film contained also cellulose (31%) which ...
