Melt processing and properties of linear low density polyethylene-graphene nanoplatelet composites
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Composites of Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) and Graphene Nanoplatelets (GNPs) were processed using a twin screw extruder under different extrusion conditions. The effects of screw speed, feeder speed and GNP ...
Biotechnological production process and life cycle assessment of graphene
(
Hindawi
, 2017 , Article)
The aim of this study is to compare the graphene produced using a biotechnological method (Escherichia coli) with the graphene produced by Hummers' method (a chemical method) and to study the effect on the energy consumption ...
Melt processing and characterisation of polyamide 6/graphene nanoplatelet composites
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2015 , Article)
Graphene, due to its outstanding properties, has become the topic of much research activity in recent years. Much of that work has been on a laboratory scale however, if we are to introduce graphene into real product ...
Processing and characterization of polyethylene-based composites
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2015 , Article)
Thermoplastic matrix polymer composites have gained commercial success in the semistructural and structural applications. Polyethylene (PE) is one of the most versatile and widely used thermoplastics in the world because ...
Assessment of calcified aortic valve leaflet deformations and blood flow dynamics using fluid-structure interaction modeling
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Aortic valve diseases are among the most common cardiovascular defects. Since a non-functioning valve results in disturbed blood flow conditions, the diagnosis of such defects is based on identification of stenosis via ...
A single tube system for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA using gold nanoparticles based FRET assay
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Other)
The global combat against MTB is limited by challenges in accurate affordable detection. In this study, a rapid, affordable, single tube system for detection of unamplified MTB16s rDNA was developed. Utilizing a AuNP based ...
A Global Declaration on Appropriate Use of Antimicrobial Agents across the Surgical Pathway
(
Mary Ann Liebert
, 2017 , Article)
This declaration, signed by an interdisciplinary task force of 234 experts from 83 different countries with different backgrounds, highlights the threat posed by antimicrobial resistance and the need for appropriate use ...
Preparation and Preliminary Dielectric Characterization of Structured C-Thiol-Ene Polymer Nanocomposites Assembled Using the Thiol-Ene Click Reaction.
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2015 , Article)
Fullerene-containing materials have the ability to store and release electrical energy. Therefore, fullerenes may ultimately find use in high-voltage equipment devices or as super capacitors for high electric energy storage ...
Molecular analysis of the enteric protozoa associated with acute diarrhea in hospitalized children
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2017 , Article)
Pediatric diarrhea is a common cause of death among children under 5 years of age. In the current study, we investigated the frequency of intestinal parasites among 580 pediatric patients with chronic diarrhea. Parasitic ...
Corrosion Behavior of Electrodeposited Ni-B Coatings Modified with SiO2 Particles
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Other)
The need for coatings with improved operation is vital to insure safety and high output of industrial plants. Electrodeposition is a valuable surface modification technology that can be used to develop various kinds of ...
