Tribological properties of composites of low density polyethylene (LDPE) reinforced with 1, 5, 10, 20 wt% micrometric Boehmite (B) and/or preheated Boehmite (HB) powders were studied in combination with two silane coupling agents (SCAs): vinyltri(2-methoxyethoxy)silane (VTMES)-SCA 972 and 3-(trimethoxysilyl)-propylmethacrylate (3MPS)-SCA 989. When coupling agents are used, the samples not subje...

To synthesize vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VA-CNT) arrays longer than a millimeter using chemical vapor deposition (CVD), aluminum oxide buffer has to be deposited on supporting substrates to prevent diffusion and aggregation of catalyst nanoparticles. Currently, reliable deposition has to be made using expensive and time-consuming e-beam evaporation or thermal sputtering. Here, we repor...

Experimental studies involving equilibrium solubility and dissolution/precipitation rates were initiated on aluminum hydroxide phases prevalent under geothermal reservoir conditions. A large capacity, hydrogen-electrode concentration cell (HECC) was constructed specifically for this purpose. This cell provides continuous, accurate in situ pH measurements of solid/solution mixtures to 295C with ...

This work compares a theoretical model with consolidated numerical related to the thermodynamic performance of boehmite alumina nanoparticles in different formats counterflow double pipe heat exchanger. The shapes non-spherical under analysis are platelets, blades, cylindrical, and bricks. second law thermodynamics is applied determine Nusselt number, pressure drop, thermal efficiency, viscous ...

Boehmite is one of the aluminium derivatives that consists oxygen and hydroxyl groups. a very profitable material with promising future, notably as catalyst for production other chemicals. Surface modification boehmite can be done different functional groups to produce supported-catalysts, catalysts, adsorbents, reagents, membranes, coatings, optical materials, corrosion inhibitors, composite m...
