Background: There are various methods to read out responses of a polymer-gel dosimeter, among which the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique is the most common one. Optimizing imaging protocols can have significant effect on the sensitivity and the dose resolution of polymer gel dosimeters. This study has investigated the effects of the number of echoes (NOE) and the echo time spacing (ES...

Due to the importance of nanoparticles stability in industrial applications, in this research, stability of laponite nanoparticles dispersions containing different concentrations of sodium sulfonated polyacrylamide (SPA) was investigated in electrolyte media for oil reservoirs applications. In this regard, effect of parameters such as polymer concentration, temperature, and ionic strength were ...

abstract wind erosion of soils and suspended particles in iran is one of the serious environmental and agricultural problems which affect agricultural lands, water reservoirs, irrigation canals, drains and etc. therefore wind erosion control needs attention specially in arid and semi-arid regions. although in recent years, some polymeric materials have been used for improvement of structural st...

application of polymers in novel and advanced scientific technologies is increasingly expanding. in this regard, optical polymers among different materials have found a special and unique position. a novel dye doped polymer thin film was prepared by taking advantage of dye molecules' interaction with the host environment. this sample, like self-assembled structures, makes use of this inter...

ZnSe-based heterostructures grown on GaAs substrates have been investigated for use in pindiode LED applications. ZnSe has a large band gap, 2.76 eV, as well as a near lattice match to GaAs, 5.6688 Å vs. 5.6538 Å, respectively. In this study a metallorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) deposition technique is used to produce doped and undoped thin films of ZnSe on (100) GaAs. Understanding the e...

The low-frequency LF noise performance of nand p-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors MOSFETs with different Hf-based gate oxides, deposited by metallorganic chemical vapor deposition MOCVD on the same interfacial oxide layer and using polysilicon poly-Si as a gate material has been investigated. Independent of the gate oxide, the LF noise spectra of nand p-MOSFETs are pre...

The present work aimed to evaluate capability of a new molecular structure to stabilize polyethylene against thermal oxidation. Hence, effects of 3,3-bis(4-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-propan-2-ylphenyl)-2-benzofuran-1-one (thymolphthalein) on thermo-oxidative stability of high density polyethylene (HDPE) in both solid and melt states were investigated and compared with those of SONGNOX 1010, a comme...
