Processing, characterization and modeling of recycled polypropylene/glass fibre/wood flour composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Polypropylene (PP) is one of the most common thermoplastic materials in the world. There is a need to recycle the large amount of this used material. To overcome the environmental problems, related to the polymer waste, ...
Destabilization and treatment of produced water-oil emulsions using anionic polyacrylamide with electrolyate of aluminum sulphate and ferrous sulphate
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Surfactant and polymer flooding technology can greatly enhance the oil recovery through the expansion of sweeping and displacing efficiency. The recovered oil from surfactant and polymer flooding emulsifies the residual ...
Electroactive and Optically Adaptive Bionanocomposite for Reconfigurable Microlens
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
This paper introduces an electroactive bionanocomposite based on poly(diethylene glycol adipate) (PDEGA) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). The bionanocomposites were made using CNCs extracted from cotton and by optimizing ...
Containers' for self-healing epoxy composites and coating : Trends and advances
(
BME-PT and GTE
, 2016 , Article)
The introduction of self-healing functionality into epoxy matrix is an important and challenging topic. Various micro/nano containers loaded self-healing agents are developed and incorporated into epoxy matrix to impart ...
Figure of merit comparison of PP-based electret and PVDF-based piezoelectric polymer energy harvesters
(
SPIE
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The harvesting of mechanical strain and kinetic energy has received great attention over the past two decades in order to power wireless electronic components such as those used in passive and active monitoring applications. ...
Electro-sprayed PVA coating with texture-enriched surface morphology for augmented humidity sensing
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
This article reports the modified surface morphology of Poly-vinyl Alcohol (PVA) films using electro-spraying coating technique. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were conducted to examine ...
Spectroscopy of Polymer Nanocomposites
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2016 , Book)
Spectroscopy of Polymer Nanocomposites covers all aspects of the spectroscopic characterization of polymer nanocomposites. More than 25 spectroscopy characterization techniques - almost all used in materials science - are ...
Review on recent advances in polythiophene based photovoltaic devices
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article Review)
Discovery of conducting polymer introduced us to the total polymeric solar cells (PSC). During the last decade, power conversion efficiency (PCE) of these solar cells has increased from 1% to 11.5% (with the bulk heterojunction ...
Prevalence of microplastics in the marine waters of Qatar
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Microplastics are firmly recognized as a ubiquitous and growing threat to marine biota and their associated marine habitats worldwide. The evidence of the prevalence of microplastics was documented for the first time in ...
Influence of polyelectrolytes and other polymer complexes on the flocculation and rheological behaviors of clay minerals: A comprehensive review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article Review)
Separation of clay minerals from industrial wastewaters is of great academic and practical importance. Current treatment techniques are either not economically viable, not environmentally friendly, or both. Thus, researchers ...
