A two-stage solar collector using a non-tracking conical concentrator and a glass lens for PV-TEG hybrid system
( Springer Verlag , 2018 , Article)In this paper, a newly designed two-stage solar collector using a non-tracking conical concentrator and a glass lens has been demonstrated for the application in hybrid photo-thermo-electric system (HPTES). The revealed ... -
Charge-trapping capability and AC conductivity at different humidities of poly(ethyleneimine)-TiO2-anthocyanin modified cellulose fibres.
( Springer Verlag , 2018 , Article)Modified cellulose materials are finding increasing application in electronics, because of the need for more environmental-friendly electronic circuits. The papers prepared from poly(ethyleneimine)–TiO2–anthocyanin-modified ... -
Colloidal distribution of the PCPDTBT and VOPcPhO in the organic amalgam thin films and their optical properties
( Springer Verlag , 2017 , Article)In this article, we investigated the optical properties and colloidal distribution of the PCPDTBT and VOPcPhO in the organic amalgam thin films prepared by spin-coating technique. A very even dispersion of donor and acceptor ... -

Electrospun PVDF graphene oxide composite fibre mats with tunable physical properties.
( Springer Verlag , 2016 , Article)This article is aimed at a basic physical characterization of electrospun PVDF/graphene oxide (GO) composite non-woven fibre mats. The morphological characterization of the prepared fabrics was performed via SEM investigations. ... -
Fabrication and characterization of the organic rectifying junctions by electrolysis
( Springer Verlag , 2017 , Article)Unlike the conventional solution processable deposition techniques, in this study, we propose a novel and economical method for the fabrication of organic rectifying junctions. The solutions of the orange dye, copper ... -
Influence of TiO2 nanoparticles on the crystallization behaviour and tensile properties of PLA/TiO2, PCL/TiO2 and PLA/PCL/TiO2 nanocomposites.
( Springer Verlag , 2018 , Article)This paper investigated the influence of TiO2 nanoparticles on the morphologies, as well as crystallization behaviour and kinetics, of neat PLA and PCL, and of these polymers in different PLA/PCL blends. We used transmission ... -
Microton irradiation induced tuning of dielectric properties of nano ZnO-natural rubber disks
( Springer Verlag , 2017 , Article)The effect of electron beam irradiation of dielectric and conductivity properties of nano ZnO-natural rubber (NR) disks was investigated here. It is revealed that electric properties such as AC conductivity, dielectric ... -
Nanofibrous alginate membrane coated with cellulose nanowhiskers for water purification
( Springer Verlag , 2018 , Article)The aim of this study was to develop a filtration membrane based on two-layered nanoscale alginate nanofibres reinforced with maize cellulose nanowhiskers (diameter between 3 and 12 nm). Reinforcing of the membrane with ... -
Preparation and characterization of urea-formaldehyde microcapsules filled with paraffin oil
