Cuprous oxide nanoparticles in epoxy network: Cure reaction, morphology, and thermal stability
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
Nanosized cuprous oxide filler particles (nCOP) with octahedral morphology were synthesized through hydrazine reduction method and were used to develop a novel nanocomposites based on epoxy resin. The morphology of epoxy–nCOP ...
Effect of graphene loading on thermomechanical properties of poly(vinyl alcohol)/starch blend
(
Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
Polymer nanocomposites based on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/starch blend and graphene were prepared by solution mixing and casting. Glycerol was used as a plasticizer and added in the starch dispersion. The uniform dispersion ...
Light-Switchable Polymer from Cationic to Zwitterionic Form: Synthesis, Characterization, and Interactions with DNA and Bacterial Cells
(
WILEY-VCH Verlag
, 2013 , Article)
A novel cationic polymer poly(N,N-dimethyl-N-[3-(methacroylamino) propyl]-N-[2-[(2-nitrophenyl)methoxy]-2-oxo-ethyl]ammonium chloride) is synthesized by free-radical polymerization of N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl] methacrylamide ...
Morphology and thermal degradation studies of melt-mixed PLA/PHBV biodegradable polymer blend nanocomposites with TiO2 as filler
(
Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
The morphology and thermal stability of melt-mixed poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate) (PHBV) blends and nanocomposites with small amounts of TiO2 nanoparticles were investigated. PLA/PHBV at 50/50 ...

Seroprevalence of hepatitis E virus among blood donors in Qatar (2013-2016)
(
Wiley
, 2017 , Article)
BACKGROUND
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an RNA virus transmitted mainly through zoonotic transmission or fecal–oral route. More than 80% of Qatar's population are expatriates, including many coming from hyperendemic ...
Adsorption of an anionic surfactant at air-liquid and different solid-liquid interfaces from solutions containing high counter-ion concentration
(
Springer Verlag
, 2015 , Article)
The self-assembly (adsorption) of the anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylbenzenesulphonate (SDBS), at air-liquid and different (octadecanethiol, β-mercaptoethanol, α-lipoic acid) solid-liquid interfaces from aqueous solutions ...
Synthesis and electrochemical properties of nickel oxide/carbon nanofiber composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
The electrospinning of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) with a polyaniline and graphene sol–gel mixture produced uniform, smooth fibers with an average diameter of 0.3 μm. These electrospun fibers were stabilized for 2 h at 200 °C ...
