Thermophysical Characterization of Paraffins versus Temperature for Thermal Energy Storage
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
Latent heat storage systems (LHSS), using solid-liquid phase change materials (PCMs), are attracting growing interest in many applications. The determination of the thermophysical properties of PCMs is crucial for selecting ...
Enhancement of photovoltaic module performance by thermal management using shape-stabilized PCM composites
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
Thermal management of photovoltaic (PV) panels is crucial due to the deterioration of their electrical efficiency at elevated operating temperatures. Therefore, thermal protection of PV against overheating is highly required. ...
Preparation and characterization of chemically synthesized polyaniline–polystyrene blends as a carbon dioxide gas sensor
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
This correspondence presents a radically distinctive approach for preparing conducting polymer polyaniline–polystyrene (PANI–PS) blends doped with HCl by an in situ dispersion polymerization method. Generally, there are ...
Influence of additives on recycled polymer blends
(
Springer Nature
, 2013 , Article)
Polymer systems based on polymer waste offer promising way to increase recycling in the society. Since fillers play a major role in determining the properties and behavior of polymer composites, recycled polymers can also ...
Polyaniline/polyvinyl alcohol blends: Effect of sulfonic acid dopants on microstructural, optical, thermal and electrical properties
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
This correspondence reports the preparation and performance of different polyaniline–polyvinyl blends (PANI–PVA) doped with sulfonated acids. PANI is prepared by in situ dispersion polymerisation, and a subsequent extensive ...
High performance sulfonic acid doped polyaniline–polystyrene blend ammonia gas sensors
(
Springer Nature
, 2016 , Article)
In this work, we present a method of preparation and sensing measurement of four camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) doped polyaniline–polystyrene blends (PANI–PS), where PANI is obtained by dispersion polymerization and blending ...
Reduced erbium-doped ceria nanoparticles: One nano-host applicable for simultaneous optical down- and up-conversions
(
Springer Nature
, 2014 , Article)
This paper introduces a new synthesis procedure to form erbium-doped ceria nanoparticles (EDC NPs) that can act as an optical medium for both up-conversion and down-conversion in the same time. This synthesis process results ...
Improved electrical conductivity of carbon/polyvinyl alcohol electrospun nanofibers
(
Hindawi
, 2015 , Article)
Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) gained much interest in the last few years due to their promising electrical, chemical, and mechanical characteristics. This paper investigates a new nanocomposite composed of carbon nanofibers ...
