Processing and characterization of nematic co-polymer Phba/Pet nanocomposite films via hot-melt extrusion
(2011)
In this research work, the effect of particle shape (i.e. rod-like, spherical and platellet) and concentration on the liquid crystalline structure of poly (4-benzoic acidco-ethylene terephthalate) (PHBA/PET) was evaluated ...
Influence of surface composition on functionalized gold nanoparticle adsorption to the oil/water interface
(2021-07)
The studies presented in this thesis focused on investigating the influence of surface composition on the adsorption and self-assembly of nanoparticles at the toluene/water interface, as a step towards generating knowledge ...
Encapsulation of particles in crosslinked hydrogel networks: particles distribution optimization
(2010)
Particle encapsulation in polymer systems has been used in several industrial applications in the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields. The main challenge in particle encapsulation is to obtain a homogeneous particle ...
Hydrogen production study using autothermal reforming of biodiesel and other hydrocarbons for fuel cell applications
(2006)
During the last few years concerns with distribution, supply and cost of conventional liquid fuels increased considerably. Several developed countries are seriously considering using hydrogen (no fossil combustible) as an ...
Separational purification of nitrate from inedible biomass leachate by electrodialysis: fouling effect
(2004)
The removal of nitrate and potassium from wheat leachate solution was studied
using an electrolytic cell in batch recirculation mode for use in advance life
support systems (ALSS). The ALSS or CELSS (Controlled Ecological ...
Novel synthesis and characterization of metal nanometric wires and anodic alumina membrane-palladium wire ensembles using solid state reduction for hydrogen sensing applications
(2012)
In the last decade nanowires (NWs) have become the focus of intensive research in the areas of catalysis, sensors, gas storage, among others. These ordered high surface area materials display high chemical reactivity because ...
Development of optimal iron oxide nanoparticles with increased heating capabilities for application in magnetic fluid hyperthermia
(2013)
Hipertermia de fluido magnético (MFH) a mostrado ser un método efectivo para la erradicación de células cancerosas. Esta técnica se basa en la absorción de nanopartículas magnéticas por parte de la célula seguido por la ...
Novel separation methods for removing nanoparticles and copper from chemical mechanical planarization wastes
(2007)
Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) wastewater emanating from semiconductor processing contains copper (II) ions and either alumina and/or silica nanoparticles. The efficiency of biotreatment schemes to remove copper ...
3D collagen scaffold for peripherial nerve regeneration
(2018-05)
The nerve regeneration process is a complex pathway that most of the time is not completed
and represents a life of limitations for people that suffers from injury or diseases that
compromises neuron functionality involving ...
Perfluorinated and sulfonated proton exchange membranes: Effect of supercritical fluid processing on ion exchange capacity and proton conductivity
(2007)
The present work has processed Nafion® and sulfonated polystyrene-isobutylenestyrene
(SIBS) with supercritical fluid (SCF) carbon dioxide at a 40°C and 200 bar with
the aid of ten co-solvents of different size and polarity. ...
