High and Ultra-high Performance Concretes: A Solution to Reinforced Concrete Durability under Harsh Climate of Arabian Gulf
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Reinforced concrete (RC) infrastructure in the Arabian Gulf region deteriorates under
severe environmental conditions after only short service life. To overcome this problem,
it is imperative to employ high-quality concretes ...
Highly porous PtPd nanoclusters synthesized via selective chemical etching as efficient catalyst for ethanol electro-oxidation
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs) have received great interest owing to their high power density and environmental friendness. Nevertheless, the designing of active, durable, and efficient anode for DEFCs is a profound ...
Microstructure and mechanical behavior of hot extruded aluminum/tin-bismuth composites produced by powder metallurgy
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
In this study, Al-BiSn composites were synthesized by a combination of microwave sintering and hot extrusion processes. The structural, morphological, mechanical, and thermal properties were investigated to elucidate the ...
