Functionalization of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and its effects on polysulfone-ZnO membranes
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Incorporation of nanoparticles in membranes has recently been reported to lead to enhancement of the membrane performance for various applications. In this study, ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized via sol-gel method using ...
Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture: Absorption-desorption capabilities of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), piperazine (PZ) and monoethanolamine (MEA) tri-solvent blends
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, highly concentrated tri-solvent blends containing 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), piperazine (PZ) and monoethanolamine (MEA) were experimentally investigated for their potential capabilities in carbon ...
Influence of surface modification of carbon nanotubes on interactions with polystyrene-b-polyisoprene-b-polystyrene matrix and its photo-actuation properties
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
The influence of various surface modification of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) on preferential interactions with individual phases of the linear triblock copolymer polystyrene-b-polyisoprene-b-polystyrene (SIS) and ...
The effect of expanded graphite on the thermal stability, latent heat, and flammability properties of EVA/wax phase change blends
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
This article reports on the morphology, melting and crystallization behavior, thermal stability, flammability and thermal conductivity of shape-stabilized phase-change materials (PCM) for thermal energy storage, based on ...
Detection and Genotyping of Torque Teno Virus (TTV) in Healthy Blood Donors and Patients Infected With HBV or HCV in Qatar
(
Wiley Periodicals, Inc
, 2015 , Article)
Torque Teno virus (TTV) has been associated
with non A–G hepatitis. The goal of this study
was to estimate the infection rates and genotypic
characteristics of TTV in the State of Qatar.
A total of 644 blood samples ...
The mechanical and adhesive properties of electrically and thermally conductive polymeric composites based on high density polyethylene filled with nickel powder
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2013 , Article)
Electrically and thermally conductive composites made using high density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix blended with a special grade of branch-structured nickel particles were studied. Composites with high filler content were ...
Extending the southern range of four shrimps (Crustacea: Decapoda: Stenopodidae, Hippolytidae and Alpheidae) in southwestern Atlantic (27oS) and confirming the presence of Mediterranean Stenopus spinosus Risso, 1827 in Brazil
(
Zootaxa
, 2015 , Article)
In subtidal zones, certain shrimp species with cryptic behaviour represent a gap in the biodiversity description in many places in the world. This study extends the southern limit of Stenopus hispidus (Oliver, 1811), Alpheus ...
Prediction of the mechanical properties of copper powder-filled low-density polyethylene composites. A comparison between the ANN and theoretical models
(
Begell House
, 2015 , Article)
In the present study, the mechanical properties of copper (Cu) powder-filled low-density polyethylene
(LDPE) composites are predicted by using artificial neural networks (ANNs) as a function of
the filler concentration. ...
Synergistic effect of expanded graphite, diammonium phosphate and Cloisite 15A on flame retardant properties of EVA and EVA/wax phase change blends
(
Springer
, 2015 , Article)
The influence of the introduction of expanded graphite (EG), as well as combinations of EG with Cloisite 15A clay and diammonium phosphate (DAP), into EVA and an EVA/wax blend on the thermal stability and flammability of ...
An experimental investigation into mechanical behavior of hybrid and nonhybrid composite semi-elliptical springs
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2013 , Article)
This study introduces a new composite semi-elliptical suspension spring by utilizing fiber reinforced composite strength in principal direction instead of shear direction. Three types of composites were tested, namely, ...
