Nowadays, toxic and pathogenic contamination in water has become a serious pollution problem. Several treatments have been proposed to solve the problem including the use of photocatalysts to promote photocatalytic reactions. ...

A novel polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) was based on the sulfonated poly(aromatic imide-co-aliphatic imide) (S-coPI) was synthesized by the poly condensation of 3,3ʹ,4,4ʹ-benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride(BPTDA) ...

Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) is composites that contain thermosets or thermoplastics and wood flour or sawdust. They can be applied in several fields such as construction, marine, electronic component, and automotive, etc. ...

A two-stage pretreatment of corncobs using NaOH followed by H₂SO₄ combined with microwave radiation prior enzymatic hydrolysis has been examined. The optimum condition of second stage was obtained with response surface ...

p-Xylene is an important raw material utilized for producing chemical additives, agricultural chemicals and polymeric materials. At present, there are several processes of p-xylene production based on toluene disproportionation ...

Biodiesel or fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) is considered one of the most promising alternative fuels. It has a higher cetane number than diesel; however, there are some problems related to oxidative stability and the cold ...

Polycarbonate (PC), one of the engineering thermoplastic, has been attractive to use in various applications owing to its excellent impact resistance and transparency. However, the poor scratch resistance of PC could limit ...

Synthesis of star-shaped structure with four-arm benzoxazine dimers through the reaction between tetra-tosylated pentaerythritol as a core molecule and benzoxazine dimers as arm molecules is focused. A model reaction of ...

Titanium oxide nanotubes (TNTs) were synthesized hydrothermally via microwave heating of commercial TiO₂ anatase in 10 M NaOH solution at 150°C for 90 min, followed by washing the obtained powder with distilled water. A ...

Conventional catalytic processes for converting CH₄ to synthesis gas require both high temperature and high pressure. Partial oxidation of methane is another way to solve the problems. In this work, a technique of combining ...
