PH-Switchable Interaction of a Carboxybetaine Ester-Based SAM with DNA and Gold Nanoparticles
(
American Chemical Society
, 2017 , Article)
We describe a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a gold surface with a carboxybetaine ester functionality to control the interaction between DNA and gold nanoparticles via pH. The negatively charged phosphate backbone of ...
Improvement of aluminum/polyethylene adhesion through corona discharge
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2017 , Article)
Polyethylene (PE) is often used in several industrial applications including the building, packaging and transport industries. Aluminum (Al) is widely used in different applications in the automotive, railway, aeronautic, ...
Modification of polyethylene by RF plasma in different/mixture gases
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Herein, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films were treated using radio-frequency plasma discharge in the presence of air, nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and their mixtures to introduce new chemical functionalities. The surface ...
The Separation of Emulsified Water/Oil Mixtures through Adsorption on Plasma-Treated Polyethylene Powder
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
This work addresses the preparation and characterization of efficient adsorbents for tertiary treatment (oil content below 100 ppm) of oil/water emulsions. Powdered low-density polyethylene (LDPE) was modified by radio-frequency ...
Simultaneous CO2 treatment and blue energy generation from wasted industrial streams
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
In the last decade, there has been an increased global need for finding bright solutions to tackle industrial wastes and emissions release. Herein, this work explores the utilization of a compact Reverse Electrodialysis ...
Simple, Reversible, and Fast Modulation in Superwettability, Gradient, and Adsorption by Counterion Exchange on Self-Assembled Monolayer
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
A simple fabrication method for preparation of surfaces able to switch from superhydrophobic to superhydrophilic state in a reversible and fast way is described. A self-assembled monolayer (SAM) consisting of quaternary ...
Effect of barrier plasma pre-treatment on polyester films and their adhesive properties on oak wood
(
North Carolina State University
, 2016 , Article)
A barrier plasma, created at atmospheric pressure, was used to improve the surface and adhesive properties of polyester (PES) film with respect to wood using polyurethane adhesives. The modification of PES film surfaces ...
2D Ti3C2Tx (MXene)-reinforced polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers with enhanced mechanical and electrical properties
(
Public Library of Science
, 2017 , Article)
Novel 2D Ti3C2Tx (MXene)-reinforced polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers have been successfully fabricated by an electrospinning technique. The high aspect ratio, hydrophilic surfaces, and metallic conductivity of delaminated ...
Antibacterial Modification Of Polyethylene By Multistage Process Utilizing Low-temperature Plasma
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Limiting factor of PE application in healthcare is high susceptibility of polyethylene towards bacterial growth. For this reason, antibacterial treatment of PE foils using appropriate antibacterial agents was used in this ...
Improvement in properties of Ni-B coatings by the addition of mixed oxide nanoparticles
(
Electrochemical Science Group
, 2015 , Article)
A comparison of properties of electrodeposited Ni-B and Ni-B-ZrO2-Al2O3 nanocomposite coatings is presented to explain the benefits of addition of mixed nanoparticles of ZrO2 and Al2O3 into Ni-B matrix. A comparative study ...
