A Novel Approach to Water Softening Based on Graphene Oxide-Activated Open Cell Foams

Rheological Behavior of Water-Ethylene Glycol Based Graphene Oxide Nanofluids

Traditionally water-ethylene glycol mixture based nanofluids are used in cold regions as a coolant in the car radiators. In the present study, the rheological properties of water-ethylene glycol based graphene oxide nanofluid are studied using Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics (NEMD) method at different temperatures, volume concentrations, and shear rates. NEMD simulations are perfor...

Removal of Toxic Cr(VI) Ions from Water Sample a Novel Magnetic Graphene Oxide Nanocomposite

This work describes the synthesis of a novel magnetic graphene oxide composite for removal of Cr(VI) ions. The synthesized nanosorbent were characterized with various techniques such as FT-IR, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), elemental analysis and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). This material is illustrated to represent a viable sorbent for the removal of Cr(VI...

iranian english learners’ perception and personality: a dual approach to investigating influential factors on willingness to communicate

abstract previous studies on willingness to communicate (wtc) have shown the influence of many individual or situational factors on students’ tendency to engage in classroom communication, in which wtc has been viewed either at the trait-level or situational level. however, due to the complexity of the notion of willingness to communicate, the present study suggests that these two strands are ...

A Phase-Field Approach to Damage Modelling in Open-Cell Foams

Foams are complex and challenging materials. The damage process of the foam materials takes place on multiple scales changing several physical and structural properties of the material. In this study, the topology-based variable describing the connectivity state of a cell is introduced to formulate a non-variational phase-field model for the damage evolution in an open-cell foam. The material i...
