A new species of leucosiid crab (Decapoda: Brachyura: Leucosiidae) from the Arabian Gulf
(
Magnolia Press
, 2017 , Article)
The Indo-West Pacific genus Coleusia Galil 2006, was recently described and now comprises seven species. We describe
a new species from the western Arabian Gulf, Coleusia janani n. sp. The new species is closely related ...
Plasticization and co-crystallization in LLDPE/wax blends.
(
Wiley Periodicals, Inc
, 2016 , Article)
The structure and thermal properties of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE)/medium soft paraffin wax blends, prepared by melt mixing, were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and small- and wide-angle ...
Monolayer polymer photocells. The opportunities
(
Academy of Sciences and Arts of the Republic of Serbia
, 2015 , Article)
The conversion of solar energy into electricity is in the focus of a large number of scientists. Because of the problems caused by the use of fossil fuels, the use of renewable and environmentally friendly energy sources ...
Effect of layered silicates on the thermal stability of PCL/PLA microfibrillar composites
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
This paper reports on an investigation of the influence of the presence of two different clays, Cloisite 15A
and Cloisite 30B, and fibre drawing on the degradation behaviour and kinetics of PCL/PLA composites. It
was ...
Electrospun alginate nanofibres impregnated with silver nanoparticles: Preparation, morphology and antibacterial properties
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Abstract Silver nanoparticles are amongst the most valuable nanoparticles with interesting properties, such as a non-toxic nature and high antibacterial efficiency, making them applicable for tissue scaffold, protective ...
Morphology and magnetic properties of the ethylene-co-vinyl acetate/iron nanocomposite films prepared by implantation with Fe6+ ions
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Ethylene-co-vinyl acetate/iron nanocomposite films were fabricated by implantation with multiplecharged ions at different fluencies. The films obtained with ion fluency of 1 × 1017cm−2were used forspecific studies. It was ...
Investigation of the physico-mechanical properties of electrospun PVDF/cellulose nanofibers.
(
Wiley
, 2016 , Article)
The electro-activity and mechanical properties of PVDF depends mainly on the b-phase content and degree of crystallinity. In this study, cellulose fibers were used to improve these characteristics. This could be achieved ...
Radioactivity levels in the marine environment along the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
A study on 137Cs, 40K, 226Ra, 228Ra, and 238U was carried out along the EEZ of Qatar. Results serve as the
first ever baseline data. The level of 137Cs (mean value 1.6 ± 0.4 Bq m 3) in water filters was found to be in
the ...
Preparation and characterisation of Ce:YAG -polycarbonate composites for white LED
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Ce:YAG-polycarbonate composites were prepared with several amounts of Ce:YAG in the range 0.1–5 wt.% by using melt compounding. The structure and morphology of the composites were investigated by means of X-ray diffractometry ...
Molecular and electronic structure elucidation of Fe2+/Fe3+ complexed chelators used in iron sulphide scale removal in oil and gas wells
(
Wiley-Liss Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Quantum chemical calculations based on DFT are employed to study the electronic structure and binding affinity of chelators used in the removal of iron sulphide scales. Three chelating agents, EDTA, HEDTA, and DTPA, are ...
