Acidity's Impact on Yield, Morphological Structure, and Surface Functionalities of Polyaniline Synthesised via Oxidative Polymerisation by Ahmat, Dounia Ousmane

“…Furthermore, it was observed that the amount of PANI yield is inversely related to the medium pH. A decrease in medium pH from 2.35 to 0.80 remarkably increased the PANI yield by 3.2 times. …”

Enhancing the UV/heat stability of LLDPE irrigation pipes via different stabilizer formulations by Porfyris, Athanasios D.

“…Mechanical properties, thermal analysis, and carbonyl index results supported the morphological results, which confirmed that CB alone was slightly more effective in protecting the LLDPE against UV initiated degradation, but performed worse against thermal initiated degradation. UV1 and UV2 compounds were efficient against both UV- and heat-initiated degradation, with UV1 performing better for unpigmented compounds, and UV2 for the pigmented ones.…”

Effects of Combined Calcium Hypochlorite and Chlorine Dioxide on Drinking Water Quality in Qatar and Disinfection by Products Formation by Mohamed, Elsamoul H.

“…Seven water samples were collected from the Ras Laffan-Q Power desalination plant outlet in amber bottles having a chlorine dioxide concentration of 0.3 mg/l in 1 liter. The bottles were spiked with Ca(ClO)2 in sequence to give concentration of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, and 1.2 mg/l as free chlorine. …”

Effects of Fine-Grained Particles' Migration and Clogging in Porous Media on Gas Production from Hydrate-Bearing Sediments by Jung, Jongwon

“…The results show that (1) the concentration of fine particles required to form clogging and/or bridging in pores decreased with the decrease in fine particle-pore throat size ratio, (2) the effects of ionic concentration of fluid on clogging behaviors depend on the types of fine particles, and (3) fine particles prefer to accumulate along the deionized water- (DW-) CO2 interface and migrate together, which in turn easily causes clogging in pores. …”
