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. ...
Core-shell nanofibers of polyvinylidene fluoride-based nanocomposites as piezoelectric nanogenerators
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Flexible piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENG) are widely applied to harvest sustainable energy from multiple energy sources. The rational and simple design of PENG have great potential in soft electronics. Here we design a ...
Materials and technologies for the tertiary treatment of produced water contaminated by oil impurities through nonfibrous deep-bed media: A review
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
This review covers various aspects of the treatment of emulsified oil/water mixtures and is particularly focused on tertiary treatment, which means the reduction of the oil content from 70-100 ppm to below 10 ppm, depending ...
A comprehensive rheological study for a flowing polymer-based drilling fluid used for wellbore strengthening
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Loss circulation encountered in highly fractured formations, depleted reservoir, or HP/HT intervals is the root cause of many problems plaguing the oil and gas sector for many years. High pore pressure narrows the window ...
Rheology of Triamine Functionalized Silica Reinforced Polymeric Gels Developed for Conformance Control Applications
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
Recently, cross-linked polymers such as polyacrylamide (PAM)/polyethylenimine (PEI) have been used in conformance control applications to replace conventional lost circulation materials (LCMs). The objective of this work ...
Gelation kinetics of PAM/PEI based drilling mud for lost circulation applications
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
The problem of lost circulation is a direct consequence of the presence of fractures or high permeability. Lost circulation material (LCM) is used to treat the loss that occurs or proactively strengthen the wellbore of the ...
