Polymer-Decorated Cellulose Nanocrystals as Environmentally Friendly Additives for Olefin-Based Drilling Fluids

Environmentally Friendly Machining: Vegetable Based Cutting Fluids

Abstract A wide variety of cutting fluids are commercially available in the cutting fluid suppliers in order to provide machining performances for a number of industries. In machining, mineral, synthetic and semi-synthetic cutting fluids are widely used but, recently, uses of vegetable based cutting fluids have been increased. Although, these cutting fluids are beneficial in the industries, the...

Environmentally Friendly Synthesis of Polymer-Grafted Nanoparticles

Environmentally Friendly Development of Photoresists in Silicone Fluids

The chemical waste generated in today’s microelectronic fabrication processes has driven the need to develop a more environmentally benign process. Silicone fluids are linear methyl siloxanes that are non-toxic, not ozonedepleting and can be easily recycled. They are used as environmentally friendly alternatives in this study to develop conventional photoresists. After silylation, two conventio...

Investigating the Effect of Polythin and Polydrill on the Properties of Drilling Fluids

In this study, synthetic sulfonated polymers were used in order to enhance the rheological properties of drilling fluids. The capability of these polymers in reducing the effects of environmentally friendly, but harmful, pollutants such as cement, calcium chloride, gypsum as well as pH changes were investigated. In the present work, two sulfonated synthetic polymers, namely Polythin and Polydri...

Effect of Dates Extracts as Environmentally Friendly Corrosion Inhibitor for Carbon Steel in 1M HCl Solution

Inhibitory effect of extracts from three date varieties namely khalt (kha), Lassiane (La) and Tadmamt (Td)), and the mixture of date varieties as environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in 1M HCl is studied by means of electrochemical tests such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and Tafel polarization. It's been obtained that in 1.0 M HCl solution the date e...
