Synthesis of polymer nanostructures via the use of surfactant surface aggregates as templates.
(2007)
The subject of this work is the synthesis of polymer nanostructures via the use of surfactant surface aggregates as templates, also termed Template Assisted Admicellar Polymerization (TAAP). The first chapter reviews some ...
Experimental and computational analysis of the aerodynamics of melt blowing dies.
(2004)
An experimental and computational study of melt blowing jets and processes was done. Computational studies were done on three types of melt blowing jets: conventional annular, tapered annular and swirling. Conventional ...
Manganese tetraoxide based polyalkenoate cements.
(2006)
Polyalkenoate cements resulting from reaction between Mn3O4 with acrylic acid and poly(acrylic acid) have been analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). This ...
COMPUTATIONAL STUDY OF LIQUID-SOLID INTERFACE
(2020)
The solid interface is of fundamental importance to numerous scientific and technological fields, such as heterogeneous catalysis, water splitting, electrochemistry, corrosion, drug delivery, tribology, and wetting. However, ...
Characterization of hollow fiber properties during the melt spinning process.
(2000)
Substitution of hollow fibers for solid fibers would not only preserve the web properties (opacity and compression), but would actually improve the strength of each fiber. Hence, hollow fibers could be substituted for solid ...
Optimal design of crude oil distillation plants.
(2001)
Crude distillation is the first processing unit in the refinery. It separates the crude in to distillates, which are either intermediate products further processed or raw materials for the chemical industry. Crude distillation ...
An investigation into the properties and behaviors of alkyldiphenyl oxide disulfonate surfactants.
(2001)
An overview of surfactant adsorption included a discussion of the importance of surfactant adsorption in petroleum applications, a summary of the history of surfactant adsorption research and the mechanisms that have been ...
USE OF THE HLD EQUATION TO DETERMINE SURFACTANT ADSORPTION AT SOLID SURFACES
(2016-07-08)
The objective of this work is to develop and refine a mathematical model based on the fundamentals of the hydrophilic-lipophilic deviation equation in order to describe and predict surfactant adsorption onto reservoir rocks ...
Further Exploration of Heat of Immersion as a Method To Quantify Wettability For Particulates: Effect of Temperature
(2023-05-12)
A previous paper by our group concluded that to distinguish between the wettability of different particles, heat of immersion is the best method as opposed to the Washburn or sessile drop method. In this paper, heats of ...
Catalytic Hydrodeoxygenation of Phenolic Compounds of Importance in Bio-oil Upgrading
(2014-05)
Economic and environmental concerns including the increasing energy consumption and demand, ensuring energy security, reducing green-house gas emission and producing cleaner energy have caused tremendous interest in research ...
