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 ...
METAL OXIDE NANOPARTICLES: WETTABILITY MODIFICATION FOR EMULSION STABILIZATION AND ELECTROSTATICALLY INDUCED GELATION
(2015)
Mixtures of fumed metal oxide nanoparticles (np’s) dispersed in water, at a solution pH where one species is positively charged and the other is negatively charged, form pseudo-solid gels at volume fractions as low as 1.5 ...
Investigation of Flow through Complicated Microfluidic Devices and over Micropatterned Surfaces using Computational Fluid Dynamics
(2015-12)
Computational fluid dynamics is used to study two distinct areas of engineering interest: microfluidic systems involving superhydrophobic surfaces and blood pumps. Superhydrophobic surfaces, which can induce slip at ...
COMPUTATIONAL INVESTIGATION OF TURBULENT BLOOD FLOW AND HEMOLYSIS IN BIOMEDICAL DEVICES
(2015-12-18)
Turbulent blood flow in medical devices contributes to blood trauma, yet the exact mechanism(s) have not been fully elucidated. Local turbulent stresses, viscous stresses, and the rate of dissipation of the turbulent kinetic ...
SURFACTANT-ONLY EOR FOR HIGH SALINITY BRINE
(2015)
Developing a surfactant formulation for reservoir having high salinity/total dissolved solids (TDS) brine is a challenging task because surfactant not only phase separate or precipitate but also show high adsorption on ...
CONVERSION OF MODEL BIO-OIL COMPOUNDS OVER METAL OXIDES AND SUPPORTED METAL CATALYSTS
(2015)
Growing environmental concerns has necessitated the development of cleaner and renewable sources of energy such as biomass. Bio-oil derived from lignocellulosic biomass is a promising source for producing renewable chemicals ...

MIXED METAL CARBIDES: UNDERSTANDING THE SYNTHESIS, SURFACE PROPERTIES AND CATALYTIC ACTIVITIES
(2015-08)
Metal carbides are formed when carbon is inserted into the lattice of the metal, and metal-carbon bonds are formed. In fact, formation of the carbon-metal bonds causes a change in the electronic structure of the metal in ...
