FORMULATION DEVELOPMENT TO OBTAIN THIN FILM COATINGS ON SOLID SURFACES USING ADMICELLAR POLYMERIZATION
(2015-05-08)
Hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties are imparted on solid surfaces to enhance the properties of surfaces. From over a decade several methods have been employed to impart thin film coatings onto surfaces. Apart from ...
Simultaneous cracking of phenolic compounds and hydrocarbons over zeolites
(2014)
Co-processing bio-oils with hydrocarbons in conventional refinery processes has been considered as a promising strategy for upgrading and producing fuels from alternative sources. Co-feeding the phenolic fraction to the ...
Investigating basic characteristics of turbulence in channel flows using Lagrangian concepts
(2012)
Many examples of turbulent motion of particles in nature can be better perceived through the concept of backwards turbulent dispersion. Some examples include pollutants in atmosphere or oceans reaching populated human or ...
Carbon Nanotubes as Catalyst Supports in Biphasic Systems
(2016-05)
Carbon nanotubes are studied as catalyst supports in biphasic (oil and water)
systems. In the first part the relationships between a carbon nanotubes properties before
and after functionalization and the influence those ...
Conversion of Oxygenates from Biomass-Derived Compounds over Supported Metal Catalysts
(2012)
The increasing consumption and phase-out of conventional fuels has caused the tremendous interest of our society in making use of renewable energy resources such as biomass. In response to this interest, bio-oil produced ...
INTERFACIALLY ACTIVE CARBON NANOTUBE HYBRIDS FOR RESERVOIR DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS
(2013-12)
This work examines the different aspects of stabilizing and propagating interfacially active carbon nanohybrids for oil field applications. The progress achieved during the last four years was quite impressive towards the ...
Computational investigation of non-covalent stabilization of nanoparticle suspensions and their propagation in porous media
(2016)
In this study, Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) and Lagrangian Particle Tracking (LPT) methods were used to investigate computationally the non-covalent stabilization of carbon nanotubes (CNT) in water by using polymers ...
MEASURING MONOMER-MICELLE EQUILIBRIUM BY USING SEMI-EQUILIBRIUM DIALYSIS
(2011)
Monomer-micelle equilibrium, the distribution of surfactant species between the monomer and the micelles in solution, dictates many important physical properties of surfactants. Although monomer-micelle equilibrium ...
LOCAL FLUID STRESS AND NUTRIENT TRANSPORT EFFECTS VIA SIMULATIONS OF PERFUSION THROUGH BONE TISSUE ENGINEERING SCAFFOLDS
(2010)
Lattice Boltzmann Method and Lagrangian Scalar Tracking simulations were performed in order to characterize the mechanical and chemical microenvironments within two different types of bone tissue engineering polymer ...
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis on carbon nanotube-supported catalysts in water-in-oil emulsion
(2013-12-04)
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) is an important gas-to-liquids technology in the modern energy industry. The current trend is to carry it out in liquid reaction media in order to take advantage of good heat transfer, high ...
