The rheology of self-assembled elongated iron oxyhydroxide (FeOOH) and spherical silica (SiO2) particles in hexagonal (H1) liquid crystal (LC) phase of water and non-ionic surfactant C12E9 is investigated by varying particle ...

Non-isothermal decomposition kinetics of surface coated calcium carbonate (CaCO3) was investigated using different weight % of nano-silica. The activation energy was calculated from model-free isoconversional technique ...

Curcumin polymorphs were found to precipitate concomitantly during liquid antisolvent precipitation. While, commercially available curcumin exists in a monoclinic form, the curcumin particles when precipitated in presence ...

The aqueous suspensions of gaseous microbubbles are currently being used as contrast enhancing agents for ultrasonic imaging and as potential vehicles for targeted drug delivery. The storage stability of microbubble ...

The study of reactive processes involving solid phases represents a considerable challenge, especially when multiple reactions are involved. The formation of cement clinker, from naturally occurring raw materials, typifies ...

Fleet sizing is an essential element of chemical supply chain management. It is expensive to purchase and maintain tank cars. Further, the sizing decision is not an isolated one and is closely linked to fleet routing, ...

A variety of methods have been developed to identify the presence of stiction in linear closed-loop systems . One of the commonly used approaches is based on identification of a Hammerstein model (linear dynamic model ...

The discovery of graphene has led to a rising interest in seeking quasi two-dimensional allotropes of several elements and inorganic compounds. Boron, carbon’s neighbour in the periodic table, presents a curious case in ...
