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 ...
Comparative study between the rotor flux oriented control and non-linear backstepping control of a five-phase induction motor drive - an experimental validation
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2016 , Article)
Multiphase variable speed electric drives are employed in applications where the reduction in the total power per phase and the highest level of overall system reliability is required. Most of the literature on five-phase ...
Erosion behaviour of API X100 pipeline steel at various impact angles and particle speeds
(
MDPI AG
, 2016 , Article)
Erosion is the gradual removal of material due to solid particle impingement and results in a failure of pipeline materials. In this study, a series of erosion tests were carried out to investigate the influence of particle ...
MicroRNAs as Potential Pharmaco-targets in Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Compounded by Diabetes.
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
Ischemia-Reperfusion (I/R) injury is the tissue damage that results from re-oxygenation of ischemic tissues. There are many players that contribute to I/R injury. One of these factors is the family of microRNAs (miRNAs), ...
Kinetic studies of POSS–DGEBA precursors derived from monoamine functional POSS using dynamic dielectric sensing and nuclear magnetic resonance
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
Incorporation of pre‐reacted monofunctional polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)–epoxy adducts dramatically improves dispersion of POSS in epoxy–amine networks. The relationship between reaction kinetics and mechanism ...
Effect of reinforcement concentration on the properties of hot extruded Al-Al2O3 composites synthesized through microwave sintering process
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
In this study, Aluminum matrix composite reinforced with 5, 10 and 15 vol% Al2O3 particles were fabricated using microwave assisted rapid sintering technique followed by hot extrusion. The effect of concentration of Al2O3 ...
Effect of microwave sintering on the crystal domain and electrical properties of TiO2 nanoparticles
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2017 , Article)
We report the effect of microwaves sintering on the crystal domain and electrical properties of TiO2 nanoparticles. Commercially available TiO2 nanoparticles of 25 nm size were coated on ITO (indium tin oxide) substrates, ...
Thermochemical Upgrading of Calcium Bentonite for Drilling Fluid Applications
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2019 , Article)
The rheological properties of bentonite suspensions depend on the chemical composition and the contained dominant element, such as calcium (Ca), potassium (K), and sodium (Na). Na-bentonite type is the one used in drilling ...
Effective NiMn nanoparticles-functionalized carbon felt as an effective anode for direct urea fuel cells
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
The internal resistances of fuel cells strongly affect the generated power. Basically, in the fuel cell, the anode can be prepared by deposition of a film from the functional electrocatalyst on a proper gas diffusion layer. ...
Water and carbon footprint reduction potential of renewable energy in the United States: A policy analysis using system dynamics
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
Renewable energy has gained popularity as an alternative to fossil fuels, which regularly emit large amounts of Greenhouse Gases and consume/withdraw large amounts of water, but renewable energy market penetration is still ...
