Effect of surfactant and radiation treatment on the morphology and properties of PP/EG composites
(
Springer
, 2015 , Article)
The effects of surfactant and electron beam (EB) radiation treatment on the morphology and properties of polypropylene (PP)/expanded graphite (EG) composites were investigated. Surfactant treatment and sonication of
EG ...
Prediction of the mechanical properties of copper powder-filled low-density polyethylene composites. A comparison between the ANN and theoretical models
(
Begell House
, 2015 , Article)
In the present study, the mechanical properties of copper (Cu) powder-filled low-density polyethylene
(LDPE) composites are predicted by using artificial neural networks (ANNs) as a function of
the filler concentration. ...
Hydrocarbon-based fuel cell membranes: Sulfonated crosslinked poly(1,3-cyclohexadiene) membranes for high temperature polymer electrolyte fuel cells
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
High temperature fuel cell membranes based on poly(1,3-cyclohexadiene) were prepared by a Polymerization-Crosslinking-Sulfonation (PCS) approach, and a broad range of membrane compositions were achieved using various ...
Highly ordered nanoporous carbon films with tunable pore diameters and their excellent sensing properties
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2015 , Article)
Ordered porous carbon films with tunable pore diameters, immobilized with glucose oxidase (GOD) have been fabricated and employed for the construction of a biosensor for glucose molecules. The as-prepared porous films have ...
Thermal properties of phase-change materials based on high-density polyethylene filled with micro-encapsulated paraffin wax for thermal energy storage
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Microcapsules consisting of paraffin wax cores with a melting point of approximately 42 °C and a melamine-formaldehyde resin shell were synthesized using in situ polymerization. These microcapsules have a uniform distribution ...
Electrocoalescence of water drop trains in oil under constant and pulsatile electric fields
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2015 , Article)
This study addresses the effectiveness of constant and pulsed DC fields in promoting coalescence of dispersed water drops in an oil-continuous phase. For this purpose, a train of drops of relatively uniform size is injected ...
The effect of expanded graphite on the thermal stability, latent heat, and flammability properties of EVA/wax phase change blends
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
This article reports on the morphology, melting and crystallization behavior, thermal stability, flammability and thermal conductivity of shape-stabilized phase-change materials (PCM) for thermal energy storage, based on ...
Antibacterial treatment of LDPE with halogen derivatives via cold plasma
(
BME-PT and GTE
, 2015 , Article)
The factor limiting the application of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) in healthcare is its high susceptibility to bacterial growth. For this reason, we here investigated antibacterial treatments of LDPE foils using ...
Investigation of beech wood modified by radio-frequency discharge plasma
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Low-temperature plasma was used to improve the surface and adhesive properties of wood. The pre-treatment of wood surfaces using radio-frequency (RF) discharge plasma is attractive for various wood applications, mainly ...
