Platinum supported on KL zeolite (Pt/KL) is an efficient catalyst for the aromatization of n-hexane into benzene, but is not as effective for n-octane aromatization. The product distribution shows small quantities of ...

This dissertation is divided into two parts: description of the investigation of the ability of ionomers to compatibilizer PA6/LDPE blends and the effect of draw ratio on mechanical and the ability to dye polypropylene-organoclay ...

The present work proposes chitosan-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) water-based system to prepare chitosan conjugated with amino acids which are ideal drug targeting functional groups. The conjugation is demonstrated based on ...

The present work focuses on the development of polyoxymethylene (POM) and its copolymer based nanocomposite and nanofiber materials. The first part involves clarification of the effects of surfactants used for modifying ...

Na-bentonite was treated with a surfactant (Stepantex™ SP-90) in order to prepare organobentonite; and 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane was also added to act as surface treatment. Because aluminum hydroxide and calcium hydroxide ...

A model of interpolymer complex (IPC) hydrogel under physically crosslinked structure is proposed. The hydrogel prepared from the mixture of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) at various ratio by ...

In this study, the hydrophilic improvement of a woven PET surface was accomplished by a plasma technique. The woven PET surface was plasma-treated by dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) under various operating parameters ...

Because of the increase of oil prices, capital investment in industry in general has become dramatically higher. It is apparent that energy usage reduction is one factor in decreasing such operating costs in the industrial ...
