Modulation of wettability, gradient and adhesion on self-assembled monolayer by counterion exchange and pH
(
Academic Press Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
In this study, two quaternary ammonium salts derived from L-lipoic acid were applied for self-assembled monolayers formation on rough structured gold surface. The derivatives differ in functionality since one possesses ...
Studies on the Electrical Properties of Graphene Oxide-Reinforced Poly (4-Styrene Sulfonic Acid) and Polyvinyl Alcohol Blend Composites
(
World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
In the present study, graphene oxide (GO)-reinforced poly (4-styrenesulfonic acid) (PSSA)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) blend composite films were prepared using colloidal blending technique at various concentrations of GO ...
Hydration, Pore Solution, and Porosity of Cementitious Pastes Made with Seawater
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2019 , Article)
Unreinforced concrete or concrete reinforced with noncorrosive reinforcement could potentially be mixed with seawater in locations where potable water is scarce. A fundamental understanding of the properties of concrete ...
Mechanistic and adsorption equilibrium studies of dibenzothiophene-rich-diesel on MnO2-loaded-activated carbon: Surface characterization
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
In this work, the preparation and characterization of MnO2-modified-activated carbon for selective removal of organosulfur compounds including dibenzothiophene were outlined. The deposited particles of the modifier were ...
An adaptive thresholding-based process variability monitoring
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
In high-dimensional processes, monitoring process variability is considerably difficult due to the large number of variables and the limited number of samples. Monitoring changes in the covariance matrix of a multivariate ...
Framework for Design under Uncertainty Including Inherent Safety, Environmental Assessment, and Economic Performance of Chemical Processes
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
Typically, analysis and design of chemical processes is carried out considering average values of inherently uncertain data that pertain to key design and process variables that shape its performance. In this work, a ...
Electrical and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) shielding properties of hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles reinforced polyvinylidene fluoride nanocomposite films
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
The hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles (h-BNNPs) reinforced flexible polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanocomposite films were prepared via a simple and versatile solution casting method. The morphological, thermal and ...
Investigation of the rheological properties of nanosilica-reinforced polyacrylamide/polyethyleneimine gels for wellbore strengthening at high reservoir temperatures
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
Wellbore strengthening has been introduced recently to resolve lost circulation problems by improving the fracture gradient and hence extending the mud window. Polymeric cross-linkable solutions showed outstanding strength ...
Drivers’ estimation of their travelling speed: a study on an expressway and a local road
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
Correctly estimating the travelling speed is essential for safety on the roads to ensure safer interactions with other drivers and to avoid violations of traffic regulations. Therefore, it is important to create understanding ...
Microstructure, wear and corrosion characteristics of Cu matrix reinforced SiC–graphite hybrid composites
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of SiC-graphite reinforcement on the properties of pure copper. Copper matrix composites with SiC-graphite reinforcement (0, 2.5,5, 7.5 and 10 wt.%) were prepared ...
