Chemical Synthesis, Spectral Characterization and Electrical Conductivity Behavior of Poly(2-Methoxyaniline-Co-2-Chloroaniline) and its CuO Nanocomposite and Polypropylene Glycol Blend
Abstract: AbstractCopolymerization of 2-chloro aniline and 2-methoxy aniline was achieved chemically by oxidative polymerization technique using ammonium persulphate as the oxidizing agent in acidic medium in the presence of sodium lauryl sulphate, an anionic surfactant. Copolymerization was also carried out in the absence of the surfactant to study the effect of surfactant on the thermal stability and electrical conductivity. The copolymer composite with CuO nano particles and blend with poly propylene …

To explore the effect of polyethylene glycol additive on mechanical and gas permeation properties of polyvinyl alcohol membranes
Abstract: Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) membranes were prepared by solution casting and blended with Polyethylene glycol (PEG) in de-ionized water which led to the formation of porous and flexible membranes. Extensive experimentation were performed, in order to find out that at what composition of PEG pores will be generated in the PVA membranes. The PVA polymer is a hard and crystalline thermoplastic so high concentrations of PEG were used, i.e. 40 wt%, …

Engineering Novel Blue Emissive Thiazolidinedione (TD) Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) Composite Thin Films for Bioplastic Scintillation
Abstract: In this article, we demonstrate luminescent properties of PLA blended with new 3-[2-(4-methylphenyl)-2-oxoethyl]-5-(thiophen-2-ylmethylidene)-1, 3-thiazolidine-2, 4-dione and 3-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-oxoethyl]-5-(thiophen-2-ylmethylidene)-1, 3-thiazolidine-2, 4-dione (TD). This paper mainly aims at the preparation of intercalated thin films of PLA and TD. The formation of matrix-dopant composite films was confirmed by FTIR, SEM, TGA, DSC and XRD characterizations.

Investigating the Influence of Shock Waves on the Dielectric Characteristics of ZMTC Crystals
Abstract: Zinc mercury thiocyanate (ZMTC) is an organometallicnonlinearly optical (NLO) single crystal that has been grown in an aqueous solution using the SR technique. Novel, non-destructive method is suggested and shown to enhance the electrical properties of crystals through the use of shock waves. A tabletop shock tube, operating at a Mach number of 1.7, generates shock waves that are subsequently loaded into a zinc mercury thiocyanate (ZMTC) crystal. This process, …

Study of Physical and Chemical Properties of Heavy Waxy Crude Oil from Cambay Basin Using Rheometer and Cross-Polar Microscope
Abstract: Production of heavy crude is quite difficult as the pressure drops from reservoir to production facility are quite large. This often leads to the precipitation and deposition of common organic solids (paraffin). These solids may deposit on surfaces, collect in low-energy regions or increase the effective viscosity of the flowing fluid. The net effect is an increase in pressure drop for a given rate through reduction in flowing area or …

Prospects of Shale gas in India verses Global Scenario and Future of Plasma Pulse Technology
Abstract: Conventional sources are expensive, polluting and limited by its reserves so, it will not be able to meet the demand of a country which is increasing continuously. This concern triggered the scramble to secure long term oil supplies and shown their reliance on the unconventional resources. Shale gas is natural gas trapped in the shale formation with organic rich content of methane. Huge reserves have been found in United States, …

Numerical Investigation of the Osmatic Flow Impact on the Load Recovery and Early Well Performance
Abstract: The complexity of shale system coupled with the mystery of low fracturing fluid recovery has puzzled many researchers. Field reports from hydraulic fracturing operations performed on shale formation have highlighted the low recovery of the fracturing fluid. The fate of the hydraulic fracturing fluid is still controversial issue. However, literature has attributed the low load recovery to either trapping into the natural or created micro-fracture or imbibition to the matrix. …
