Directly Copolymerized Poly(arylene sulfide sulfone) and Poly(arylene ether sulfone) Disulfonated Copolymers for Use in Ionic Polymer Transducers by Akle, B. J.

“…Charge motion from one pole to the other pole produced electromechanical coupling effects in the ionic materials through the electric double layer. By increasing the surface area of the electrodes, thereby increasing the capacitance, it was shown that the motion of charges and actuator performance increases, thus indicating a strong correlation between the capacitance and charge motion/performance. …”

Microbial and operational factors affecting energy recovery potential for anaerobic membrane bioreactors treating different wastewater types by Ramadan, Lama

“…The second experiment treating municipal wastewater highlighted the tipping point of energy neutrality of the system due to the low organic content of the influent. The third experiment treating poultry slaughterhouse wastewater (PSW) over three phases with decreasing hydraulic retention times (HRTs) concluded that the microbial adaptation to the high-strength wastewater can directly impact the energy produced from the system. …”
