Autothermal reforming (ATR) for fuel cells in automotive applications
(2004)
Autothermal reforming of liquid fuels had been demonstrated to be feasible for use in fuel cell vehicles. One of the main problems with reforming systems is that the concentration product of carbon monoxide has to be less ...
Supercritical fluid processing of perfluorinated and sulfonated membranes
(2004)
Over the past years, one of the most important challenges facing industry
has been the search for environmentally benign and cost effective alternatives to
traditional power sources. Many industries invest considerable ...
Uso de la técnica de interrupción de corriente para la caracterización de una celda de combustible no humidificada con membrana de intercambio protónico
(2005)
Due to the energetic crisis, the US government has promoted the development of
alternatives resources for the generation of electricity. Fuel Cells have emerged as one of
the most promising technologies for the power ...
Supercritical fluid processing of sulfonated styrenic tri-block polymers
(2005)
The increasing need to replace current materials with new or reprocessed
ones that have more specific properties and uses has led to the use of supercritical
fluids (SCFs) for polymer reprocessing. Kraton® poly ...
Solubilities of anti-cancer and anti-AIDS drugs in supercritical carbon dioxide
(2003)
Solubility data for pharmacological drugs in supercritical fluids (SCFs) is of great
importance, because there is an environmental and cost effective need for alternative
specialty separation methods.
This research was ...
Simulations of the magnetization and magnetoviscosity of dilute magnetic fluids
(2009)
In this work was studied the rotational Brownian motion of magnetic spherical and tri-axial ellipsoidal particles suspended in a Newtonian fluid, in the dilute suspension limit, under applied shear and magnetic fields by ...
Synthesis of multifunctional magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications
(2009)
Magnetite nanoparticles are attractive for biomedical applications such as magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH), a novel cancer treatment, due to their ability to induce heating through energy dissipation in an oscillating ...
Modeling the phase equilibrium of multicomponent systems involving solids, supercritical fluids, and consolvents
(2006)
Carbon dioxide is one of the most commonly used supercritical fluids. However, its uses
are limited due to its low solubility capacity for polar substances. Addition of cosolvents
improves the solubility of polar and ...
Examination of the effect of PEG-Rich matrices in Multi Drug Resistance-Associated Protein (MRP) and Multi Drug Resistance (MDR) substrates transport utilizing the CaCo-2 Cell Model
(2008)
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is responsible for the low absorption of a very wide range of drugs and has been recognized as one of the major hurdles in drug absorption. Crosslinked poly(ethylene glycol) based morphologies ...
Assessment of the stability and biological activity of our model proteins encapsulated in hydrogel membranes
(2007)
Proteins are biological macromolecules which have a unique spatial conformation. This spatial conformation can be affected by extremes in pH, temperature, and organic solvents. Once this 3D spatial conformation is affected ...
