Highly conductive phase change composites based on paraffin-infiltrated graphite panels for photo/electrothermal conversion and storage
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
The extensive utilization of phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy harvesting, storage, and thermal management is often constrained by their inadequate thermal and electrical conductivity, form instability, and ...
Foamed phase change materials based on recycled polyethylene/paraffin wax blends
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Foamed phase-change materials (FPCMs) were prepared using recycled linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) blended with 30 wt.% of paraffin wax (PW) and foamed by 1,1′-azobiscarbamide. The protection of pores’ collapse ...
Date Palm Cellulose Nanocrystals (CNCs)/Polyamide Composites: Tailoring Morphological, Mechanical, and Thermal Properties
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
In the present study, polyamide (PA) was successfully reinforced with cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) prepared from date palm leaves using two different techniques, electrospinning and the solution casting method, and a ...
Electrochemical Investigation of Interfacial Properties of Ti3C2Tx MXene Modified by Aryldiazonium Betaine Derivatives
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2020 , Article)
For efficient and effective utilization of MXene such as biosensing or advanced applications, interfacial modification of MXene needs to be considered. To this end, we describe modification of Ti3C2Tx MXene by aryldiazonium-based ...
Exchange counterion in polycationic hydrogels: Tunability of hydrophobicity, water state, and floating capability for a floating ph device
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
Smart gel materials are capable of controlling and switching swelling, water state, and wettability properties triggered by external stimuli. In this study, we fabricated a series of polyelectrolyte hydrogels bearing a ...
An Enhancement of Compositional Stability of Phase Change Materials by Lamination with Aluminum Sheet
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
The wax leakage from shape-stabilized phase change materials (SSPCMs) is a limitation because it reduces their functionality. In this work, an enhancement of the compositional stability of SSPCMs formed by high-density ...
Advanced Thermal Energy Systems Based On Paraffin Waxes Applicable In Building Industry
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Thermal energy storage systems are crucial for reducing dependency on fossil fuels and minimizing CO2 emissions. The building sector is a major sector responsible for producing high levels of CO2 in most countries (including ...
Evaluation of photothermal conversion performance of shape-stabilized phase change materials using a heat flux evolution curve
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Phase change materials are promising alternatives for solar energy harvesting by photothermal conversion and thermal energy storage. In this work, a shape-stabilized phase change material (PCM) was prepared by hot-melt ...
The separation of oil/water mixtures by modified melamine and polyurethane foams: A review
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article Review)
Melamine (MA) and polyurethane (PU) foams, including both commercial sponges for daily use as well as newly synthesized foams are known for their high sorption ability of both polar and unipolar liquids. From this reason, ...
Investigation into mechanical, surface and adhesive properties of date palm wood-polyolefin micro composites
(
Technical University in Zvolen
, 2020 , Article)
Wood-plastic composites are composite materials made of wood fibre or other lignocellulosic materials and thermoplastic(s). Date palms are one of the potential replacements
of insufficient timber sources in the Middle ...
