In this study, we investigate the use of asphaltene, a natural waste product that is inevitably
formed during heavy oil processing, as a filler in polymer composites. The focus of this work …

The influence of octa-glycidyl (OG) cubic silsesquioxane and reaction stoichiometry
(stoichiometry factor, SF) on the cure chemistry and molecular dynamics of an anhydride …

Conversion of asphaltene, an undesirable and abundant waste from the petroleum industry,
to value-added products can offer sustainability and economic benefit. In this study …

The usual way to protect indoor areas from solar UV radiation is to use UV-absorbing
materials, which are applied as a thin film on the surface of the windowpane. Asphaltenes …

This work focuses on flexible epoxy (EP) composites containing various amounts of neat
and polydopamine (PDA)-coated paraffin microcapsules as a phase change material (PCM) …

The destruction of polymers under the influence of ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the cause of
their aging and deterioration of strength properties. Asphaltenes are low-value waste …

This study investigates the thermal and electrical stabilities of superconducting coils
encapsulated with an epoxy/acid-treated carbon nanotube (CNT) composite through cool …

Electric motors are widely applied as electrical equipment that rotates at high speeds in high-
temperature and high-voltage environments, with epoxy resin being the main material used …

Here we contrast the molecular dynamics of epoxy nanocomposites filled with three different
types of silica-based nanoparticles with different architectures, namely solid core, core–shell …

In this thesis, diverse applications of solid petroleum waste, including asphaltene and clay,
are discussed. By using petroleum wastes as adsorbents or polymer composite fillers, one …
