In process simulation, reliable and accurate property estimation methods play an important role in the solution of various simulation problems where convergence is often traced to failures in the reliable predictions of physical and thermodynamic properties. Convergence and reliability of the simulation is heavily dependent on the fluid package selected. Predictions of phase equilibrium using v...

In this article, we characterized tungsten oxide-decorated carbon-supported PtIr nanoparticles and tested it for the electrooxidation reactions of ethylene glycol and ethanol. Phase and morphological evaluation of the proposed electrocatalytic materials are investigated employing various characterization techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). El...

Despite recently revived interest in gaseous disinfection or sterilization, only two compounds, formaldehyde and ethylene oxide, have been used to any great extent for this purpose. As discussed by Phillips (1957) in a review of gaseous sterilization, several other compounds have been mentioned in the literature as possessing bactericidal properties in the vapor state but have been put to littl...

The synthesis and properties of hybrid poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)–poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) covalent adaptable networks have been investigated.

Dendritic rod structures can be formed via the branching of dendritic elements from a primary polymer backbone; such systems present an opportunity to create nanoscale material structures with highly functional exterior regions. In this work, we report for the first time the synthesis of a hybrid diblock copolymer possessing a linear–dendritic rod architecture. These block copolymers consist of...
