Corrosion of general oil-field grade steel in CO2 environment - An update in the light of current understanding
(
Electrochemical Science Group
, 2017 , Article)
In this review, we discussed the current mechanistic understanding and effects of key parameters on corrosion of carbon and low alloy steel (CLAS) in CO2 environments. In particular, we emphasized on the current understanding ...
Nanomaterial-based biosensors for detection of prostate specific antigen
(
Springer-Verlag Wien
, 2017 , Article Review)
Screening serum for the presence of prostate specific antigen (PSA) belongs to the most common approach for the detection of prostate cancer. This review (with 156 refs.) addresses recent developments in PSA detection based ...
Carbonization conditions influence the emission characteristics and the stability against photobleaching of nitrogen doped carbon dots
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
Carbon Dots (CDs), fabricated by hydrothermal bottom-up synthesis, are complex materials, whose optical properties are influenced by multiple factors. The presence of domains of conjugated sp2 carbon, which are formed upon ...
Preparation and performance evaluation of speek/polyaniline composite membrane for direct methanol fuel cell
(
Carl Hanser Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
Polymer composites comprising sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) and 10 to 50 wt% of Poly(trimellitic anhydride chloride-co-4,4'-methylenedianiline) (PTCMA) were prepared by solution casting. The effects of PTCMA ...
Photoimmobilization of zwitterionic polymers on surfaces to reduce cell adhesion
(
Academic Press Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Simple and robust methods for modifying hydrophobic polymer surfaces with zwitterionic polymers using UV irradiation were developed. Two random zwitterionic copolymers consisting of either carboxybetaine or sulfobetaine ...
White graphene reinforced polypyrrole and poly(vinyl alcohol) blend nanocomposites as chemiresistive sensors for room temperature detection of liquid petroleum gases
(
Springer-Verlag Wien
, 2017 , Article)
The authors describe the preparation of PVA/WPPy/hBNNP nanocomposite films by solution casting method from poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), water soluble polypyrrole (WPPy), and using hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles (hBNNP) ...
Curing enhancement and network effects in multi-walled carbon nanotube-filled vulcanized natural rubber: evidence for solvent sensing
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Electrically and thermally conductive polymer composites offer great possibilities in various electronic fields because of their low weight and ease of processing. This paper addresses the curing behaviour and network ...
Elastomer/thermoplastic modified epoxy nanocomposites: The hybrid effect of 'micro' and 'nano' scale
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article Review)
The approach of simultaneously exploit the use of microscale elastomers/thermoplastics and nanoscale fillers for the modification of epoxy systems is presently an active research topic. Such hybrid modification of epoxy ...
Morphology and properties of the PP/LDPE/wood powder and the MAPP/LDPE/wood powder polymer blend composites.
(
SAGE Publications
, 2017 , Article)
The properties of polypropylene/low-density polyethylene and maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene/low-density polyethylene blends, and their wood powder composites are compared in this study. The blends contained equal ...
