In this research, process asymmetric polyetherimide hollow fiber membranes using ethanol (0, 2 and 4 wt%) as non-solvent additive in the polymer dope via phase inversion method were fabricated. Aqueous solution of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidine (NMP) (90%) was applied as a bore fluid to avoid inner skin layer formation and water was used as the external coagulant. The morphology of fabricated membranes...

   Small changes in pressure or temperature, close to the critical point, lead to large changes in solubility of supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2). Environmentally friendly supercritical CO2 is the most popular and inexpensive solvent which has been used for preparation of nanodrugs and nanocarriers in drug delivery system with supercritical fluid technology. Delivery...

In this research study, one of the most crucial automotive engineering problems is intended to be solved. The necessity of tire pressure monitoring system is beyond doubt. Such systems are now provided relying on expensive sensors. In this study an indirect tire pressure monitoring system is proposed, utilizing identification techniques, which will reduce the cost of monitoring considerably in ...

Structural health monitoring is a developing research field which is multifunctional and can estimate the health condition of the structure by data analyzing and also can prognosticate the structural damages. Illuminating the damages by using piezoelectric sensors is one of the most effective techniques in structural health monitoring. Pressurized equipments are very important components in pro...

Shape selective xylene production is very important in the polymer industry because of its extensive use as raw material for monomer preparation. The acidity associated with the Lewis and Broensted centers present in the pillars interlayered clay and its textural properties allows good catalytic activity and shape selectivity toward p-xylene production. So, in the present study, ultrasonic and ...

The formation of small ammonia clusters is investigated experimentally with a supersonic free molecular jet of NH3−X binary mixtures (X = Ar, He, N2), with a special attention paid to the effect of second species X on the cluster formation. The ion currents of protonated ammonia clusters (NH3)nH + (n = 2−6) were measured with a combined cluster source system and a double focussing sector field ...
