Acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) and blends of acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber/poly(3-thiopheneacetic acid), NBR/P3TAA, were prepared to investigate electrorheological properties, dielectric properties, and electrical ...

Ionic liquids are presently considered the most energy-efficient and environmentally benign solvents for CO₂ capture. This research aimed at measuring the solubility of CO₂ in five room temperature ionic liquids, ...

Film mechanical sensors, one of the piezoelectric applications, which are focused on this research, are used to measure or detect various measure or detect various mechanical quantities. This work extended the range of ...

Asphaltenes precipitation is strongly a time-dependent phenomena and it can take up to several months for destabilized asphaltenes to grow to their final state after precipitant addition. The main focus of this work is to ...

Porous clay heterostructures (PCHs) and hybrid organic-inorganic PCHs (HPCHs) were prepared through surfactant-directed assembly of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and TEOS/methyltetraethoxysilane (MTS) into the galleries of ...

Sugarcane bagasse is one of the most abundant low-cost lignocellulosic materials in the world. It consists of 46.7% cellulose, 28.89% hemicellulose, and 13.83% lignin (dry basis). The cellulose and hemicellulose of sugarcane ...

Nowadays, lacking of water in soil is the very serious problem in Thailand agriculture. In this study, a novel porous polymer, polyHIPE (high internal phase emulsion) synthesized through the emulsion templating technique, ...

Cellulose pulp-reinforced natural rubber/tapioca starch composite foams were prepared by baking process. The effect of storage relative humidity on the physical and flexural properties of composite foams was investigated. ...

Polybenzoxazine based/BST composites were proposed as new dielectric materials operated at microwave frequency. To alleviate the brittleness of usual monomeric benzoxazines, the toughness of polybenzoxazine was improved ...

Benzene (B), toluene (T), and xylenes (X) are important raw materials for petrochemical industry. These aromatics are normally produced by the catalytic reforming, pyrolysis gasoline, and coal that require petroleum as the ...
