Impelled by the need to find solutions to new challenges of modern technologies new
materials with unique properties are being explored. Among various new materials that …

Interfacial tension (IFT) reduction is widely acknowledged as one of the prominent oil
recovery mechanism during nanofluid flooding enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Hence, in this …

There are many polymers formed of acrylate monomers in existence. Here we interrogate
four commonly-used examples and study how their solution properties are pH dependent, or …

Optical detection of defects of varying widths in ferromagnetic steel components is carried
out using polyacrylic acid stabilized magnetic nanoemulsions (MNEs). Magnetic field lines …

The defect detection sensitivity of magnetic nanoemulsions (MNEs) stabilized with different
functional moieties such as anionic surfactant, co-polymer and a weak polyelectrolyte is …

Magnetic field assisted tunable colour contrast in magnetic nanoemulsions is exploited for
visual detection of defects in ferromagnetic components. We demonstrate an enhanced …

We compare the behavior of a strong polyelectrolyte (PE), poly (diallyldimethylammonium
chloride)(PDDA), physisorbed at oil-water interface with that of a weak PE, poly (acrylic acid) …

Here we report the adsorption behavior of protein at an oil-water interface, that is covered
with polyelectrolytes (PE) and the interaction forces involved. The weak and strong PE's …

A partially unclad fiber Bragg grating (FBG) coated with Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles as a
magnetic field sensor is experimentally demonstrated. A series of six FBGs reflecting …

Stochastic simulations have been used to investigate the conformational behavior of knotted
weak polyacid rings as a function of pH. Different from the commonly expected ionization …
