An automatic fast optimization of Quadratic Time-frequency Distribution using the hybrid genetic algorithm
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
This paper presents a novel framework for a fully automatic optimization of Quadratic Time-frequency Distributions (QTFDs). This ‘black box’ approach automatically adjusts the QTFD kernel parameters by using a hybrid genetic ...
Cure kinetics of epoxy/MWCNTs nanocomposites: Isothermal calorimetric and rheological analyses
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
A combinatorial route has been applied in cure kinetics study of epoxy nanocomposites containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) based on differential scanning calorimetry and rheokinetic analyses under isothermal ...
Investigation and performance analysis of water-diesel emulsion for improvement of performance and emission characteristics of partially premixed charge compression ignition (PPCCI) diesel engines
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Partially premixed charge compression ignition (PPCCI) engine is a promising technique as compared with the conventional diesel engine. The present research paper shows the use of water-diesel emulsion at varying concentrations ...
Melt processing and properties of linear low density polyethylene-graphene nanoplatelet composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Composites of Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) and Graphene Nanoplatelets (GNPs) were processed using a twin screw extruder under different extrusion conditions. The effects of screw speed, feeder speed and GNP ...
Molecular scale cure rate dependence of thermoset matrix polymers
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
This manuscript demonstrates the molecular scale cure rate dependence of di-functional epoxide based thermoset polymers cured with amines. A series of cure heating ramp rates were used to determine the influence of ramp ...
Effect of waste wax and chain structure on the mechanical and physical properties of polyethylene
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
The influence of adding waste wax, produced as a by-product of the low density polyethylene manufacturing process, on the thermal and mechanical properties of three types of polyethylene (PE), high-density polyethylene ...
Bentonite-decorated calix [4] arene: A new, promising hybrid material for heavy-metal removal
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
There is global concern about the contamination of ground, river, and tap waters as well as soil contamination with heavy metal ions; these chemical species are known to not degrade and to cause severe health problems if ...
Generation of photo charge in poly(ethyleneimine)-TiO2-anthocyanin modified papers conditioned at different humidities.
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
The article describes the influence of humidity on the surface photodielectric properties of papers prepared from poly(ethyleneimine)-TiO2 nanoparticles-anthocyanin modified cellulose fibres. The anthocyanins were extracted ...
Development of multifunctional nano/ultrafiltration membrane based on a chitosan thin film on alginate electrospun nanofibers.
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
The aim of this study was to develop a high flux three-tier composite membrane composed of a coating
layer based on chitosan and chitosan with silver nanoparticles, electrospun alginate nanofibres as a
midlayer and ...
Effect of halloysite nano tubes on the thermal degradation behaviour of PCL/PLA microfibrillar composites
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
This paper reports on the thermal degradation behaviour and kinetics of halloysite nanotubes containing microfibrillated poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) blends. It was found that the nanotubes probably ...
