Amino resins are an important class of resins with diverse applications in the paints and coatings industry. Butylated urea formaldehyde (BUF) resins are amino resins whose end-use is directly dependent upon the precise ...
In this paper, ovalbumin is used as the sole emulsifier to produce stable concentrated oil (oil phase?=?70 wt%) in water emulsion near ovalbumin isoelectric point. The emulsions display excellent stability against flocculation ...
Titanium diboride (TiB2), a layered ceramic material, is well-known for its ultrahigh strength, wear resistance, and chemical inertness. In this work, we present a simple one-pot chemical approach that yields sheet-like ...

In modern plants with high levels of automation, acquiring an adequate mental model of the process has become a challenge for operators. Studies indicate that sub-optimal decisions occur when there is a mismatch between ...
Crystallization is an extensively used unit operation for production of solid forms of inorganic and organic compounds, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and polymers etc. However, the stochastic nature of crystallization makes ...
In this work, liquid antisolvent precipitation of carbamazepine (CBZ), an anticonvulsant and antiepileptic drug, was carried out from its solutions in an ionic liquid (IL), [BMIM][Cl], using water as an antisolvent. ...
With growing concerns related to attacks on the cyber and physical assets associated with the power grid along with the need to mitigate impact of natural disasters, resilience has become a critical and desirable characteristic. ...
