Chen, I-Cheng (2015-11-10)Investigations on the adsorption dynamics or interactions of nanomaterials at interfaces have enabled applying nanotechnologies in current industrial systems effectively. In this work, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and impacts ...
-
Sari, Mutiara Ayu R. Rahardian (2017-02-23)This research investigates the utilization of aluminum coagulation (electrocoagulation (EC) and conventional chemical coagulation) and membrane-based separation processes (microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), ...
-
Patil, Nutan Shashank (2020-11-18)This work addresses the hypothesis that Radio Frequency (RF) assisted heating of carbon nanotubes and silicon carbides can enable low-infrastructure direct and out-of-oven heating, based on only electrical power. This ...
-
Chen, Hsingming Anna (2012-07-16)Recently, there has been increased effort in researching methods for producing hollow nanostructures because of their potential impact in the fields of catalysis, separation processes, drug delivery, and energy storage and ...
-
Viswanadha, Laxmi Sai (2023-05-02)Paclitaxel (PTX) has been widely used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, acute leukemia, ovarian, cervical, and breast tumors. Even though PTX was found to be therapeutically effective, due to its unfavorable ...
-
Wong, Min Hao (2013-03-14)Nanoparticles and related nanomaterials are increasingly being utilized in technological applications. Controlling the dispersion and organization of these advanced materials is crucial towards realizing their full potential. ...
-
Zhang, Jiaqi (2016-04-13)Although there is a fast growth in the production and application of nanomaterials, very little research about the fire and explosion hazards associated with nanomaterials has been done. Dust explosion studies on micro-size ...
-
Vasiraju, Venkata Ravi Kiran (2016-12-09)The ever-increasing energy needs of humanity, coupled with geopolitics of fossil fuels, are imposing demand on the energy supply. A perennial supply of energy is possible by tapping into renewable sources as well as making ...
-
Vice, Zachariah Alexander (2022-12-13)The purpose of this study was to determine antifouling capabilities of silane-treated woods used in fresh edible produce harvest. Pine and oak square coupons (4 cm2 inoculatable surfaces) were treated with 1% (w/w) ...
-
Hillman, Febrian (2019-04-05)Around half of energy consumption in the US industrial sector comes from separation process, in which are commonly achieved through distillation. One drawback for distillation is its thermally driven process requiring phase ...
-
Ma, Rong (2022-06-09)Graphene quantum dots (GQDs), as one of derivatives of graphene, are essentially zero- dimensional for graphene. Their extremely small size endows them with more intriguing properties. Additionally, plenty of oxygen-containing ...
-
Liu, Shuhao (2022-10-26)Microorganism, especially pathogenic bacterium, creates considerable problems and challenges for individuals and society. Large numbers of humans get bacterial infections, and enormous economic burdens are spent annually ...
-
Deflorio, William J. (2023-11-27)The issues arising from bacterial biofilm formation in medicine and agriculture were reviewed with particular focuses on implantable biomedical device infection and the cross-contamination of vegetables within the post-harvest ...
-
Ramu, Gokula Krishnan (2016-11-22)Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are nanoporous materials comprising of metal nodes coordinated to organic ligands. They exhibit regular crystal lattice structures with well-defined pores. Owing to the ease with which the ...
